Echor Mandara TreeVilla Dharamshala

The property was beautiful, the staff very helpful, it was clean, and the view was great. The breakfast buffet was fantastic.

Despite their policy with Booking that payment was due on arrival, the manager repeatedly sent me messages 2 months in advance that I needed to pay 50%, or they would cancel the reservation. I spoke to Booking several times and they assured me that they cannot cancel the booking and they would talk to the property manager. Despite this, the requests for payment and threats to cancel continued. In retrospect, I wish I had cancelled. There is no privacy with a balcony. The patios with tubs are very loud. My room was between two rooms with tubs. The people used it like a hot tub, having many loud people on the balcony. The distance from MccleodGanje and Dharamshala is significant. $6 taxi, 20-25 minsto mcleodganje and $12, 30-40 mins to the airport, the hotel is VERY remote. Lastly, I ate dinner in the restaurant several times. My second to last night I became very I’ll from the food.

Beautiful property and location. It was clean and lovely.

The service was very slow and the staff didn’t seem to like to smile. It was like we were a burden to them - such a shame. I had to keep calling house keeping for towels and other items as there were 4 of us but the room was only set up for 3 people. There were no extra toiletries and toilet paper, these were not replaced and I had to keep requesting!

The location was good.

The restaurant- they didn’t have most items listed on the menu.

The rooms have stunning views with jacuzzi in Dharamshala. The food options are also nice. The ambiance of the property is soothing. All in all a great stay.

Nothing I can think of isn't good about the hotel.
