We stayed at Buddha Tree Homestay for One night as we were visiting the Shringeri Shrine nearby. My dad, sister and myself.
For a short one night stay - the cost did seem pricey... but then I didnt mind it as the rating was good on MMT. Good: Buddha Tree is a relatively new facility. The staff/owners, especially Viksheeth are helpful, courteous and attentive. The place is compact and comfortable. The room was spacious and sufficient for even 4 adults. Food was fairly well done as well - albeit on costlier side. Esp breakfast is priced too steep for a basic 2-3 item fare. This is NOT criticism. Just some suggestions that I missed stating earlier before leaving.
1. firstly - the room needs a nightlamp - especially in family room. 2. Fix the drive-in Ramp. Its too muddy and for a place with so much rains, even a SUv will find it an irritant.
3. Provide some cloth hanging pegs inside the bathroom. No place to hang clothes. Especially given the shower is in middle of the bath, one cant use the tower rack - as there is chance of water splashing there.
4. The commode seat is clearly new - but this cant be pulled up. As a result, the seat remains wet all the time due to adjacent shower. Consider installing shower curtains otherwise/ or atleast a toilet seat that can be kept upright to drain it dry.
5. didnt bother us - as we were three adults - but I wondered - looking at the extra high wash basin in the toilet - as to how some kid would use it.
