Pravat Premium Plantation Stay Cottage

I was lured in with the beautiful pictures they have posted in make my trip and Instagram! But, DO NOT fall for it!!! It’s one of the worst ever places you can stay at! Listed below are the bad experiences I faced during my stay here (with picture evidences for some) - [ ] Smelly rooms - [ ] Unclean rooms with dust all over - [ ] Stained and dusty carpets (not vacuumed) - [ ] Dirty unwashed footrests for washroom and main entrance - [ ] Gaps in the wooden wall—any tiny insects and small snakes can easily enter the room - [ ] Dirty and smelly napkins and towels - [ ] Drinking water in old unclean glass bottles - [ ] Stained and torn bed sheets and pillow covers - [ ] Broken curtain rods that fall over your head when trying to close the curtains (happened to my husband) - [ ] Unhygienic kitchen with cats roaming freely inside and maybe even tasting some of your food before you do as they don’t keep the food covered with a lid (happened to my baby’s food) - [ ] Horrible food quality and taste Overall, this was one of the worst experiences I’ve faced! And since their payment system was non-refundable, I couldn’t even go to another place as I’d already paid and it was 13k plus for two horrible rooms!!!

Let's start with the false promise. I have knee issues and asked them if there were stairs; they said 20-25 small ones. Did not say that they were raw steps on hills. My knee pain became worse after this trip. The food was mediocre, to put it mildly. Plus, there were no options; you only get what the cook is in the mood to cook. The day we left, we got rice balls and neer dosa for breakfast. We had to ask for a basic thing like a bread omelet, and that, too, buy the bread ourselves. We had a kid with us who almost could not eat anything for all 3 days. The cottage floor had carpet, which was filthy. The only reason I'm giving 2 stars is that the service staff was very polite and tried their best to accommodate with whatever limited resources they had. Also, did I mention that the cottage smelt of mold and damp? There were dogs there too who are not pet so please be careful if you are not comfortable with stray dogs.
