ROSASTAYS Jeolikote Bara Bungalow

The location was incredibly convenient, and the staff went above and beyond with top-notch service. The place really exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend!

Vinod looked after me like family during my solo trip, and I’d happily come back. The rooms are huge, with Art Deco interiors, and the whole place has a quiet, old-fashioned feel that sits close to nature. If that’s the kind of simple stay you want, I’d recommend it.

The dogs were adorable, and I liked that the place welcomes pets. There are board games for kids, too. It’s just off the main road, with a vintage feel, three beds in the rooms, and a nice balcony view. The food was average, though restaurants are about a 10-minute drive away. If you have a vehicle, you can drive down to the little river and sit among the rocks for a while. It’s peaceful there. The property isn’t wheelchair accessible, so keep that in mind if you’re travelling with older family members.

We booked after looking at the pictures, but left within an hour of arriving. The place felt gloomy, with low ceilings that made it stuffy, old uncomfortable sofas and beds, and no view or activities nearby. The layout was confusing, and the manager and staff were rude. We were also given false information. Please don’t be taken in by the photos. It wasn’t worth visiting and felt like a waste of money.
