    Review Summary

    Powered by Myra.AI

    This property offers stunning valley and mountain views, which guests appreciate. The staff, particularly Banti and Ravi, are noted for their helpfulness and cooperation. However, the food quality and options, especially during afternoons, have received mixed feedback, along with some cleanliness issues. Accessibility to local attractions is a highlight, though it can be a bit distant from the city center.

    I recently stayed at this bnb and unfortunately, my experience was less than satisfactory. While the property itself was decent, several aspects of my stay left much to be desired. First and foremost, the check-in process was cumbersome and poorly managed. Despite arriving at the designated time, i had reached early and hands hour 5 hours they took me extra which was 1200- high had to wait an 30 minutes for ordering the food and had to take an update weather my room is ready or not. The staff seemed disorganized and unprepared. Another significant issue was the lack of food options in the afternoon. The bnb did not provide any meals during this time, which was particularly inconvenient given that they have a strict policy against bringing in outside food. This left me with no choice but to go out for meals, which disrupted my schedule and added unnecessary hassle to my stay. Moreover, the room itself was not as clean as i expected. There were noticeable dust and some stains on the crockery which made the environment feel less welcoming. The amenities provided were basic and did not match the descriptions or pictures on their website. On a positive note, the location of the bnb was quite good, with no easy access to local attractions and public transportation. The wi-fi connection was also reliable, which was a plus. Overall, my stay at this bnb was disappointing due to the inefficient check-in process, lack of afternoon food options, and cleanliness issues. I hope the management takes these concerns seriously and makes the necessary improvements for future guests.

    Dear Guest Its a BNB - Food options are mentioned at the time of check in . It is unfair to expect hotel facilities while paying for stay at a BnB. Early check in are subject to availability and are chargeable . Check in process issues you are mentioning is due to the fact you wanted a check in 5 hours prior to your check in time and had to pay for the same. Wish we could review you guests as well

    Good Stay

    animesh v.

    The room was fabulous and the services too, as we used to get a knock on the door for the meal ordering so it was convenient. We even got amenities like refrigerator. The only problem i felt was with the availability of soft drinks and some food items which were lacking. Otherwise overall it was a memorable experience.

    Dear Guest, We have a menu available at the property with multiple options. We even take a pre order fro major meals. All these options were provided to you so it is a little surprising to see this feedback. In any case, we look forward to your next visit so we can ensure an even better stay.

    Great view and cute interiors

    krishna p.family

    We stayed in bodhi tree bnb in december. The view from our room was simply great. It's located in the middle of pine trees. Rooms are aesthetically built with wooden finishing everywhere. The host was really helpful. He arranged cab for our local travel. It shows in shimla in jan/february and the view is 10x better then from what we saw in the pictures. If you're looking for a place post jan, you should just go for this. Things to looks out for: place does not have central heating but has a room heater. Since we came from a hot climate, it took us sometime to get used to the cold. But it's not a deal breaker.

    I had a wonderful stay at the bodhi tree b&b. This place is 20 minutes away from the lift. The room was clean and very comfortable. The view from the room was just breathtaking. I’d definitely visit again.

    Lovely b&b, good staff, spacious rooms, food was made well. Steep road driving can be an issue for some. Kitchenette could use some tea bags, sugar and creamers for odd hour tea and coffees. Overall 4/5 experience.

    The staff there lack sense of responsibility and hospitality. The laundry experience was terrible. No kitchen there. The food arranged by the hotel staff was tasteless, and too expensive

    Dear mr. Atul, dwivedi, to begin with, you were repeatedly informed that laundry would not be possible at the hour you had checked in especially because it was a 1 night booking but you compelled the staff saying you dont have clothes due to which they finally assisted you. During the entire meal that you had ordered you were drunk and loud before and when it was served and i can assure you that nothing was wrong with the food else you wouldn't have ordered for more. Abusive language was being used with the staff through out your stay. Staff was repeatedly being asked to send to get alcohol from local shops which they even did. It is unfortunate to see this kind of review from your end.

    Overly priced

    ankit g.

    I felt it to be overly priced. Wifi was terrible. Good in cleanliness. Breakfast had only paratha, sandwich and omelette daily. The view from the balcony was ok. There are many better ones nearby. The matteress was too soft. And don't make a mistake to ask for cab from the host, as he will give you very costly driver by saying that its season time. Everyone in shimla loots you by saying it's a season time. Bdw, better go to other beautiful places in himachal.
