Extremely Disappointing Experience – Would Not Recommend
We recently booked the Deluxe Room at Upper Deck Resort, Lonavala through MakeMyTrip, but what we experienced was nothing like what was promised or shown online.
Room Bait and Switch: At check-in, staff tried to give us a standard room even though we had booked (and paid for) deluxe. Only after complaining did they shift us to room 142, similar to the MMT listing. This felt deceptive and started our trip on a very sour note.
Terrible Housekeeping: The first room offered was very old and dirty, with a bathroom that wasn’t flushed properly and was completely unclean. When we finally got the correct room, the bathroom lock was broken, and we had to wait 30 minutes while maintenance fixed it in front of us.
Driver Accommodation – No Care for Staff: There is no accommodation for drivers—not even basic blankets are offered, despite cold nights. This lack of basic humanity and hospitality is shocking at this price point
Wasted Time, No Relaxation: Instead of relaxing, our stay was spent coordinating repairs and raising complaints. We came to unwind, not to do their housekeeping and maintenance job.
Food & Approaching Road: The food is okay—not memorable, but not terrible. However, the road leading to the resort is in a bad state, making the journey uncomfortable and inconvenient
Old, Poorly Maintained Property: The property is clearly in need of renovation and feels run-down. The rooms are outdated, maintenance is lacking, and management appears unresponsive
Only the View is Good: The only positive aspect is the spectacular view from the property. Everything else, from room conditions to service, was a big letdown
Horribly Below Expectations: I expected far more, especially at this price. Instead, the whole experience was horrible and simply not worth the money or the hassle
Final Verdict: Highly NOT RECOMMENDED.
