Cons:

Categories

Cleanliness
9.2
Generally praised: multiple guests noted good cleanliness and tidy rooms/pool. One report mentioned dirty sheets placed on a bed, so occasional lapses observed.
Service
9.8
Staff repeatedly described as helpful, polite and respectful; small service misstep noted (anniversary cake was charged), but overall interaction quality is strong.
Location
9.7
Outstanding views and peaceful, scenic setting consistently highlighted. Accessibility is an issue (rough mountain road, 4x4 recommended), but the scenery is the property's main strength.
Room Quality
8.5
Cabins described as private and spacious and were a highlight for many. Some negatives: a specific room exposed to the restaurant and at least one guest reported bedding issues.
Amenities
9.1
Strong amenities: beautiful infinity pool, hiking trails and tranquil outdoor spaces. Some functional issues: pool was reported too cold, limited shaded seating and few poolside activities.
Value for Money
5.8
Multiple guests felt the price did not match the offering, especially given the poor/limited food options and the property's isolation limiting alternatives.
Food and Beverage
4.8
Consistently the weakest area: guests reported limited choices, low quality, overpriced dishes and heavily spiced/Indian-focused buffet that many found unsuitable.
Overall Experience
7.9
Many guests enjoyed the views, privacy and pool, and described stays as pleasant; however, poor food, limited dining options and accessibility issues tempered the overall satisfaction.

Valley Views
Pros:

Amazing view from the top, peaceful breakfast, and dinner under the stars.Great hiking trails and beautiful infinity pool.

Cons:

The pool was too cold. It needs to be temperature controlled. More shaded seating options are needed, and more activities around the pool are needed.

ماشي غير المنظر الحميل والباقي كان عبارة عن تجربة سيئة
Pros:

المنظر جميل

Cons:

ثلثلي الطريق الجبلي غير معبد وكذلك لا يوجد مكان قريب للاكل الا عند طريق الفندق .. خيارات الافطار والعشاء التي جربتها محدوده حدا عباره عن 4 اصناف في كل وجبة والاكل من المطبخ الهندي الذي لا اتقبله جدا .. كذلك عدم الاهتمام بنضافة الملاءات مستحيل لم يلاحظوا انها وسخة اثناء وضعها على السرير .. نصيحة لا تسكنوا في رقم 5 لانها مكشوفه على المطعم ما بتاخذون راحتكم فيها

Pros:

The view was absolutely beautiful and was the highlight of our stay.

Cons:

The restaurant food was average. It was acceptable, but nothing particularly memorable or outstanding.

We stayed here to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and my husband informed the hotel in advance. A cake was arranged, but we were surprised that it was charged separately. We had expected it to be a complimentary gesture for such a special occasion.

Ils ont tout misé sur la vue, dommage car cela ne nourrit pas !
Pros:

La vue est effectivement très belles et la chambre est propre et agréable, la salle de bain offre une belle superficie avec douche et baignoire.

Cons:

La nourriture, le buffet est très sommaire. Il n’y a pas d’offre continentale, tout est indien au dîner et au petit déjeuner, il n’y a pas assez de choix. Ils vendent la chambre avec le petit déjeuner et offre la possibilité de dîner au check in, ce que tout le monde prend car on n’a pas envie de refaire la route une fois arrivée, cependant le prix du dîner est trop cher par rapport à l’offre. On sent qu’ils essayent de faire des économies sur la nourriture, nous avons eu au dîner et petit déjeuner les mêmes fruits, pastèques et melons, alors que la saison des mangues est à son apogée. Pas de lait de substitution au petit déjeuner alors que le supermarché en bas en vend. La piscine est belle mais pas très propre, il y avait des clients qui se baignaient habillé, notamment des femmes en sari.

Ne pas y aller si vous n'aimez pas les repas très épicés - cuisine indienne
Pros:

Les chambres sont spacieuses et agreables. La piscine est bien.

Cons:

le buffet et le petit dejeuner est axé uniquement pour une clientèle indienne. TOUT ETAIT TRES ÉPICÉ et donc difficile de manger pour une personne qui n'aime pas ça. Meme les pommes de terre étaient épicés.
Pour la piscine, très gros problème avec la clientele indienne. Cela devrait être interdit de se baigner avec ses vêtements de ville.
Je ne recommanderai pas cet établissement et d'ailleurs nous avons appris après que le restaurant était le gros souci. C'est vraiment dommage.
