"Things which could be improved
Porters were taking other peoples cars luggage and leaving behind people like myself behind even though it was Eid holidays and it was busy no excuse to miss people who have been waiting patiently or pick and choose..
Complimentary drink glasses should be refreshed sooner than waiting like 20 min
Breakfast needs improvement omelette station and Que outside in the heat not a good idea especially where the Que is within stairs quite dangerous for elderly and children. Been staying here for last 5 years omelette station was better inside..Assam the activity guy was 5* amazing and kids really enjoyed it"

"Suresh and his team are highly attentive at this very special property, nestled amongst date palm plantations, far from the modern world. A truly unique stay in a wonderful village."
"A tiny hotel next to the Balcony Walk, with an absolutely wonderful staff. The room itself was nice even if a bit basic (it did have, however, flushing toilet, a hot shower, and AC). The hotel provided a dinner and a breakfast, which were delicious and abundant. The location couldn’t be better. The sunrise view is hands down something to be remembered for life.
We noticed a few downsides - no dealbreakers and no major issues, but something to keep in mind. Firstly, if you’re afraid of spiders or ants, this is not a good place. None of the windows/doors was properly sealed, so some of the “wildlife” will get in. Secondly, no wifi. Again, not a problem in a mountain spot. But sth to keep in mind. Thirdly, the door couldn’t be locked from inside. Given that animals around roam freely, we propped it just to make sure a random orix didn’t enter at night. And lastly, for the love of all that is holy, get a 4x4 car to get here. The road is unforgiving. Not the hotel’s fault, but again sth to keep in mind."

If you're concerned about a sanitised environment, holiday rentals can offer a sense of safety away from public hotel lifts and busy concierge desks while still allowing you the enjoyment of travel.
