We booked the stilt house at Wayside Cottage, and it turned out to be the worst stay ever. The moment we entered, a foul smell hit us – later we realized the bed itself had a horrible odor. The carpet was dusty, the bedsheet was dirty, and the bathroom had cockroaches crawling around.
When we(me and my wife) requested a bedsheet replacement, the owner rudely shouted, disconnected our call, and even blocked our number instead of resolving the issue. There were no caretakers available, and only one of his relatives came during check-in. This shows the complete lack of professionalism and hospitality.
In reality, there is no proper parking space. Initially, we were asked to park on the roadside, and only after repeated requests did they allow us to use their personal space, which was very uncomfortable for an SUV. Privacy was another major concern – even with curtains, there were gaps making the bed visible from outside.
The owner was extremely arrogant and unprofessional. This place is not worth even ₹500. We checked in at 8:45 PM on 5th September and checked out by 10 PM the same day. With MakeMyTrip’s support, we were allowed to leave, but the owner refused any refund. We had to search for another stay at that night.
Stay far away from this property – it is unhygienic, misleading, and run by people with absolutely no respect for guests.

sorry i don't feel its a genuine review because , i checked the whole room including bathroom before an hour when you check in , and suddenly i have a hospital emergency so i have to move on and i don't get a chance to attend my calls . So i gave the possession to my relative to manage the guest . You should book very carefully because we get your booking for 2 adults and a kid on MMT but in reality you have with a teenager also, if you mention this before i definitely makes some arrangements for extra bed, but without any information i can't do anything after all that i arranged an extra bed also. Please book properly , and we don't have any connection with your money its handled by MMT if any problem for cashback please connect with them not me. On that day here we have so many guest anyone of them didn't mention a issue even for the parking . Anyway sorry for the misunderstanding , next time hope you enjoy. Thank you
