Wow, where do I even begin? If you’re looking for a “5-star” experience that feels more like a budget roadside lodge with a mountain view (barely), this is your dream destination.
First off, this place is tucked away in the middle of nowhere — so remote, even Google Maps had second thoughts. Good luck accessing any major Darjeeling spots unless you enjoy hour-long drives through bumpy terrain just to find civilization.
Now let’s talk about the “luxury” amenities — assuming you’re into broken fittings, unclean bathrooms, and the faint smell of damp disappointment. The food? Think bland, cold mess food served with a side of regret. Room size? Let’s just say, if you open your suitcase, you might not have space to stand.
The cherry on this disaster sundae? The management. Completely unbothered, unapologetic, and clueless. Asked for help, got shrugs. Complained, got eye-rolls. Apparently, 5-star service here means ignoring guests with premium indifference.
And shoutout to MakeMyTrip for the wildly inaccurate rating — truly a masterclass in digital deception. Either your standards have plummeted or someone’s getting paid to post fairy tale reviews.
Final word: Avoid. Avoid. Avoid. Don’t fall for the stars — they’re as fake as the hotel’s promises.
