D'kailash Retreat

Simple bungalow with pretty lovely view. People in this property so kind and helpful any time. Pretty tasty dishes by villas kitchen. Nice to walk around mountain roads

Friendly staff Beautiful View, but we had a rat running around eating our stuff and keeping us awake in the night.

The rooms are little wooden cabins which is kind of cute and you have a nice view.

Someone clearly invested money here and there is potential but the lack of management made the stay disappointing. 1. Wrongly advertised: the rooms are by far not 50m2. I booked to different categories (budget double room and garden view room) which were exactly the same rooms, although the latter was almost double the price. That was very unfortunate, because it was supposed to have one extra bed. In the end we moved a mattress from an other room there. There are no activities as advertised, the name retreat is misleading, as there is nothing but the huts. 2. Restaurant is not operating, breakfast was very basic (no choice, just toast with jam and a fried egg) 3. There was construction work going on, which does not look nice, resulted in workers moving around and some noise of course 4. No attention to detail: AC not working great as remote was missing, some doors didn’t lock well etc 5. The bathroom is outdoor which I usually like, but this one was just a small room with no roof basically. Also no roof above the toilet. If outdoor they should have made it more spacious with plants etc. 6. Staff was friendly but not so motivated or creative. For example they couldn’t give any recommendations what to do in the area or solve our room problem in a good way. Probably not we’ll instructed.

The bed was amazing. The views were unbeatable and it's a cosy house!

Nothing

The views are what sells the place. Really beautiful. The bed is also extremely comfortable!

Firstly, although quite quirky at first, the en-suite bathroom is outside/ outside the room and although this is nice to experience - when it’s raining it’s more of a hinderance… never have I ever had to use an umbrella whilst using the loo before!! - may benefit from having a pull over roof to avoid wet ‘situations’. Secondly, though quite a small issue, the bedroom door didn’t remain closed which may seem very trivial however, when bugs are flying about you want to be able to close the door without having to lock it every time I.e - using the bathroom- that been said- there is a mosquito net over the bed. Thirdly - breakfast was pitiful. You can’t advertise/ additionally charge breakfast and then offer two slices of warm (not toast) bread and a very bland egg- when asked to see if they can prepare Balinese breakfast - this was refused. Lastly- on arrival (after a few hours ride on a scooter) we were told dinner isn’t available as no food has been prepared - this is the last thing we wanted to hear as we just wanted to relax. A few hours later there’s a party going on where everyone was eating???

The view from the rooms is phenomenal. Breakfast is ok, the staff is very friendly. The property is remote and transport is required. Can be expected from a retreat.

Construction was taking place. Made for an early start into the day
