Reviewer expected a peaceful sit-out but found the outdoor spaces were effectively public (café crowds, selfie-seekers, PDA) and lacked privacy; negative impact on location as a 'retreat'.

Disappointing, would not recommend to anyone seeking a peaceful getaway
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Our stay at Deodar Woods fell short of the peaceful family getaway we expected. Looking at the pictures (while booking), I thought we would have a great family time at the sit-outs in front of the bungalow. Unfortunately, the bungalow’s beautiful sit-outs belong entirely to the public Cafe there, and there is no control over the crowd that visits the place. From 9 AM till 8 PM, these spaces are packed with a chaotic mix of selfie-seekers, reel-makers, boisterous families, and Gen Z couples engaging in PDA. We were forced to stay indoors behind drawn curtains just to avoid the crowd looking in. Indoors offered little comfort; the library was a bizarre, with a mix of self-help, Ayn Rand, and some fiction books: expected better selection. The Management will likely dismiss this as an "unusually busy weekend," but local shopkeepers confirm Landour no longer has a low season, fueled by the smooth Delhi highway. Despite the attentive staff, the total lack of privacy makes this a busy public venue rather than a retreat. Do not waste your money here...
