"Wonderful room two doors away from where Queen Elizabeth stayed. Fabulous little infinity pool and only two of us in there. Stunning view with sundowners on the terrace spoilt by terrorist monkey determined to steal something off our table. Enormous curry with enough dishes to feed at least 3 adults!"
"Very good aircon, nice airy room. Breakfast served on the verandah at the time of your choice. Within walking distance of town.
Owner lives downstairs and is very friendly and helpful.

"I’m sure this review will contradict those previous, but basically I did not like this place straight from arrival. The manager/desk man was condescending, we had to wait for our room, the room was basic in the extreme, poor quality bedding and towels, an ancient bed and threadbare mattress. The room had thin walls with a lot of noise from next door. Ordering food had a 45 min delay, although the (very basic) eating area was deserted. We did not stay at this hotel, we moved elsewhere locally,...
"The hotel is the owner’s home. A very large and clean house. Our room has three large beds. Only problem was the mosquitoes. After killed more than 10 of them, we were still bitten once the lights are out. Using the mosquito net might be the solution. We just didn’t expect it to be so bad. Guess this is a common problem for the area. Overall, the stay was relatively acceptable and staff, who is the owner as well, is very friendly. "
"Very disappointed, the hotel looked lovely in the photos but reality was a different story. With the exception of one waiter none of the staff seemed to know what they were doing. The pool was filthy and the water was green. The room was shabby and in desperate need of a refurb, broken bathroom fixtures, hole in sheet, dirty curtains, broken tie-backs. Bar area was okay but at breakfast our table was covered in flies. Avoid this place at all costs "
"Really enjoyed our stay . Mr Sharma and his staff could not have been more helpful.
Comfortable and clean room, food was lovely . We enjoyed walking around the grounds and the local area. Great for birdwatching."
