- Pradipta (10/5): Exceptional - The ethnic Himachali house feel, the decor of the rooms, common room, art room ... the day we got there, the whole Rakchhsm village was covered in a feet of snow.. it was beautiful like heaven... The walk into the Snow sculpture location near the bridge was unique. the folktales staff did their best to make the stay for our family as comfortable and enjoyable..Mr Ishan is a very humble host who personally interact and looks after the guests... In the Art room , i scrolled through the paintings by guests who visited the property in different seasons which was very much visible from the expression of colours snd Stargazing activity which seemed children liked the most ...Overall a very memorable experience...

- Pramod (10/5): Brilliant stay and location --- for Silent and Sane people. - Property, location, scenes around, the sheeps, the neighbour uncle and aunty, Kishor and Manoj Bhai and their hospitality, food, dinner place, library corner, art room, common place, the meditation corner, the smell of the agarbhathi, the apple orchards, the wooden balcony for morning sun, the view of Baspa river, the water crossing and bridge ahead on the road ---- mesmerizing stay! Am coming back someday. Thanks again for this brilliant opportunity to stay in "heaven on earth"!! Heater can be provided within room rent. Instead of guests asking for it.

- Dhaval (9/5): idyllic cottage, cosy stay to bring out the artist from within you - 1. The owner Mr. Ishaan is a wonderful host 2. The property is located on the main road, and has adequate space for parking and moving around 3. The idyllic cottage transforms you back to a dreamy time. The rooms are also very cosy and comfortable 1. Common bathroom (due to harsh winter, freezing the water pipes) was allocated, but required cleaning and brushing up.
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sounak (5/5): Passable -
- Hsu (10/5): Folktales Residency for a joyful himalayan experience - Folktales Residency is a true work of passion. Ishan, it's owner, has created a gem of an Inn in the middle of a picteresque village nestled among magnificent mountains and valleys. It's surrounding beauty, it's community spirit, it's exceptional service, it's delicious food and the infectious enthusiasm of its owner for both the inn and the area's natural beauty and it's people make this a truly joyful experience. If you feel that staying at an Inn should also be one that allows you to experience the spirit of its location, then do stay at this Inn. It is truly exceptional!
