2/10 Poor
Posting & Description are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
I don't like to put negative reviews, but please DO NOT go to this homestay. The description misrepresents the services and experience offered.
When we came in, it seemed like the staff was not expecting us, as they had us wait outside for a while before we had to ask to be taken to our room. Also, the posting said the people at the homestay spoke Hindi and English, but it turned out that they only spoke Kannada and Hindi. Thankfully, I spoke Hindi so I was able to manage. During the check in, they said I needed to pay an additional Rs. 2,000 because I have an additional guest, even though the base rate is for 2 guests. When we got to the room, they informed us that we have to pay for breakfast, even though it is posted that it's included. They also did not give us the WiFi information, even though the network was so poor (so I couldn't pull up the reservation details).
We realized that they are trying to cheat us, so we decided not to have breakfast and leave at the earliest in the morning. While the room was clean, the amenities was poor. The bathroom did not have a sink! Also the bedroom only had a fan, but it made an unnerving creaking sound every few seconds which kept me awake. To make things worse, the electricity went out for hours at night.
To say the least, we had a terrible experience. This is a very suspicious place that did not feel safe. Please support a business that is honest and cares for their guests.
