"This is not the advisable place to stay when you are travelling with your family. The location is quite far from the main Kodaikanal town and somewhat secluded from the main road. Initially, we booked a Double Room with a Private External Bathroom. The room is situated on the ground floor and is separate from the main cabin. The bathroom is located next to the room and is open to the sky. The gallery is in a horrible condition and is not well-maintained. There is no safety during the night, especially on rainy days.
Upon arrival, we requested the owner, Nikita, to provide some sort of hospitality and offer an upgrade to our room. However, she informed us directly that they couldn't provide any type of upgrade and suggested that we cancel our reservation and rebook two rooms instead. She mentioned that she could offer another better room at the same cost, but the actual room tariff was the same as the one we had initially booked. The owner appeared rather unaccommodating and not hospitable at all.
Nevertheless, we managed to stay in a room inside the main house. The room size was excessively small, and the extra mattress provided was dirty. The pillow and bedsheet offered appeared to have been used by the room attendant. The two individuals working there also seemed unprofessional and appeared to have been hired from a nearby village. Their uniforms were very dirty and entirely unhygienic.
Regarding food, they had a very limited selection for dinner and breakfast. They didn't prepare food on-site; instead, it was brought in from the owner's house. There was no variety in the breakfast options provided; it felt like we could only eat what they were offering. I must say this was the most pathetic stay I have ever experienced. It brings to mind the famous quote: 'Don't get involved in other people's mess.'
