    Review Summary

    Powered by Myra.AI

    Guests appreciate the polite and responsive staff, which is a highlight at this property. The pool and serene environment were also nice touches. However, several reviewers mention issues with cleanliness, poorly functioning AC, and high food prices, which they felt did not match the quality. Safety concerns due to a lack of identification checks at check-in were also pointed out.

    Disappointed stay at Luxury cottage

    kakali b.family with 1 kid

    I recently booked my stay at Luxury Cottages through MakeMyTrip. While the booking process was easy and convenient, my overall experience at the hotel was below expectations. The first issue I noticed was at the check-in – surprisingly, the staff did not ask for any identification, which raised concerns about the safety and security standards of the hotel. The room was not clean, with visible dust and lack of proper maintenance. This was disappointing, especially for a place that labels itself as a "luxury" stay. On top of that, the AC was not functioning properly, making the room uncomfortable, particularly during the day. The food was average in taste – not bad, but not memorable either. However, the prices were unreasonably high for the quality and portion size offered, which made dining at the hotel feel like poor value for money. The staff were polite and responsive, which was one of the few positives. Despite the other shortcomings, the service team did their best to assist when needed. My stay at Luxury Cottages was not as pleasant as expected. While the service staff were good, the lack of basic cleanliness, poor AC performance, high food prices, and casual check-in process made it a disappointing experience. I would recommend the hotel management to work on cleanliness, maintenance, and guest safety protocols to improve the overall guest experience.

    The staffs were very nice and co-operative but the place we visited is shore of sea to enjoy sea you need to visit around 1. 5 km at least. Also the place was smelling bad which staffs informed due to dry fish season still they should at least spray rooms with good freshners than. Hope they make things better for tourist

    Very poor horrible zero security place

    somnath r.family

    I had booked a room on 1st september to 3rd september in this so called luxurious cottage, but after reaching there had to cancel the room. Except me and my family, there were no other tourists at that time, no local families also. No security, at the end of mondarmoni in nearby mohona, approximately 8km away from main mondarmoni beach, very unsafe for any family, i feel scared to stay there for a moment. I have lost financially as i booked for 2night @, only refund me 1500. The room condition is very poor and they charged huge for that. So people do not go that so called luxurious cottage "the shack.
