Guest Reviews

• Marco (8/5): -
• Tanmay (4/5): Great location, service moderate, too expensive for the offering. - Excellent location Service levels moderate at the best. Staff not well trained.
• Gabriela (10/5): Cudowne doświadczenie! Piękne miejsce z wyjątkowym, pomocnym i przemiłym Personelem. - Ging Tea House jest oazą zieleni i spokoju, znajduje się w bardzo dobrze utrzymanym postkolonialnym domu w przepięknym otoczeniu gór i plantacji herbaty. Pokoje są duże, czyste i wyposażone we wszelkie wygody, a posiłki serwowane w hotelu - bardzo smaczne i urozmaicone. Jednak tym, co stanowi w największym stopniu o uroku tego miejsca, jest jego cudowny Personel: niezwykle pomocny, profesjonalny i przemiły, spełniał nasze potrzeby zanim zdałyśmy sobie sprawę z ich istnienia. :-) Pracownicy hotelu zapewnili nam transport z i na lotnisko Bagdogra, pomogli w zwiedzaniu miasta Darjeeling i plantacji herbaty oraz wyjazdem w środku nocy na Tiger Hill, z którego w bezchmurny dzień można zobaczyć Kanczendzongę o wschodzie słońca. Dzięki nim czułyśmy się naprawdę rozpieszczane i pobyt w Ging Tea House pozostanie niezapomniany. Dziękujemy bardzo!
• Anja B (9/5): Perfect 3 days in Darjeeling - The entire staff makes you feel at home right away. Everyone is exceptional friendly. Loved the factory tour and the village walk. Location and views are unbeatable; did not want to leave
• Mohan (9/5): Superb -
• Sirisha (10/5): - We had an amazing stay at ging tea house It is a rare gem hidden in the mountains with breathtaking views. The property manager Mr. Andrew made sure our stay was memorable. He helped us with the directions. He and his team work day and night to make sure we have tasty food for breakfast lunch and dinner and making nice dargeeling tea for us. The property is located in the mountains with lots of greenery and small hikes to explore the tea plantations. Will definitely visit here again.
• Narelle (10/5): Wonderful - The beautiful architecture and decor. For a property seeking to attract international tourists, alcoholic beverages should be cool and available in the evenings.
• Alexander (10/5): - Excellent
• Monalisha (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mukherjee (7/5): Good -
• Satadipa (9/5): Very comfortable, very relaxing and lifetime experience - Cleanliness, interior, decors, comfort Not much food options
• Diane (10/5): The staff make this place such a wonderful experience! - The accommodation was wonderful Nothing
• Devapriya (10/5): - Pricey. But nothing can beat this surreal experience of a cottage in the clouds. The staff are superb. Please don’t forget to tip the staff generously since they don’t make a lot.
• Jeff (2/5): Over priced extremely well maintained property that under delivers on customer experience - The historic property is extremely well maintained and clean. the ladies serving us were very pleasant and went the extra mile For the price we paid £200 per night it simply did not delivery - not bottled water was initially provided, beer would be served warm as would white wine, No communication as to what all inclusive meant - no internet key provided we asked and got 2 hours later, drinks locked away and key could not be found then some drinks such as gin was not available. No snakes given prior to evening meal (I got our own bombay mix), kettle in room with only one tea bag (standard green honey tea) - this is a tea plantation. Some of the food was served fresh but as we were the only guests and we informed the kitchen the exact time we would eat and what we would have too many dishes were not hot, roti was not freshly prepared/cooked and lots of pings from the microwave. There were so many small issues it is impossible to state - had this been a £100 a night it would have got a much more sympathetic review. As for payments well they were a nightmare 50% taken on credit card then a few days before aggressively wanted a bank transfer which I would never do with scams. Tried to cancel but non cancellable from time of booking and yet they do not take full payment. So decided to go there anyway. At check out no bill / account available..... OK at all times me and the wife remained kind and nice to the staff (they did their best) the manager was incapable of doing saying much as controlled from Kolkata. They did give us a complementary bottle of warm sweet white wine at dinner - not what we really wanted but it was an attempt by the manager. If you are ok with the above and want to stay at a tea plantation then it is clean and well maintained - manage your expectations this is not run by people that know what a hotel guest wants at this price point. It may be better in the main tourist period but I doubt it from experience - so many hotels with heritage in India get the customer experience right and over deliver - this place under delivers big time
• Sion (10/5): Exceptional -
• Suzuki (9/5): Superb -
• Premasis (10/5): It was a great 3 day trip - The staff are excellent : professional as well as friendly. The location is also superb Network is poor: which may be good given the leisurely atmosphere
• Agnibesh (8/5): Very good - Location was wonderful. Calm & serene. Staffs are friendly. Food was good. Enjoyed our stay thoroughly.
• Philippe (9/5): Superb -
• Ananya (7/5): Good -
• Elisabeth (9/5): Superb - A wonderful property. Would have liked to stay longer Thank you to the kind staff.
• Arif (10/5): - An outstanding property in a tea plantation. The main house is full of furniture from days gone by, including nice library. The staff are very incredible. We went at a time when the night temperatures got cold. Not a problem. We ate by a roaring fire, slept of beds made toasty and warm by electric blankets, and were taken for an incredibly hike through the villages with the tea garden as well as through the garden itself. Spectacular!
• Rajib (9/5): Superb -
• Supriyo (10/5): Exceptional -
• Elisabeth (10/5): Exceptional - Marvelous place in a very beautiful and peaceful area! I had breakfast on the terrace with a marvelous view on the mountains and the tea valley. The nights were cold, but I had electric blankets, heaters and a fireplace in my room. 😍 The staff is very friendly and attentive - they take care of anything you might need. Food is excellent! Price is quite high, though.
• Dineth (10/5): - This property was quiet, clean, and had amazing views. We had a peaceful quality time at the property. The staff was amazing and very helpful. Whenever we will come back to Darjaleen this will be our home.
• Gaurav (10/5): - Absolutely amazing! The views from the property of the surrounding mountains and tea gaedens was breathtaking. The staff was attentive and provided a feeling of being home away from home, but 100x better. Its the staff and the views thats made this a memorable experience. We were served home made meals all day. Additionally, the property provided all the transportation to and from the airport and sight seeing. We definitely want to go back.
• ANIRBAN (10/5): - We had a brief stay but one of the finest we have had going around the world. Fab location amidst the tea gardens and mountains, superbly maintained colonial bunglow and peace-serenity was out of the world. Lastly, the hospitality and service of Andrew and the staff was awesome. One suggestion was about the food..would have loved to have some more non-veg options and especially for children (need non-spicy options). Neverthless, we enjoyed our stay and look forward to come back again in the future. Thank you.
• Yuge (10/5): - Simply excellent! Best part of our Darjeeling trip: the tea garden is beautiful and tranquil, the opposite of the busy traffic in town. Food is excellent (and all included in the room rate)! Staff are very helpful and friendly. I also saw magnificent sunrise right in the front lawn! No need to get up early to go to crowded tiger hill. True colonial experience with superbly restored bungalow and period décor with modern touch. The tea tasting trip included in the room rate is also relaxing and educational. Living in the vast tea estate just brings you back in history, and connects your senses with nature. So glad we spent two days here! Highly recommend!
• Anuj (10/5): - Excellent property. Great surroundings. Amazing food served by the property. Staff was friendly and very polite
• Kushal (8/5): - Great hospitality, friendly and helpful staff, delicious food. The condition of the resort needs a little upgrade, but the location is unbeatable.
• Katsushi (8/5): - Mild Indian foods are good for Japanese also. Better to sell their own tea. Trip in beautiful tea garden was fantastic.
• Verified traveler (6/5): A shame - Lovely staff. Wonderful views of the weather is good ( but it was misty all the time and we couldn’t see more than 100 yards). Facilities slightly limited and it was cold (no overall heating). Sat at dinner with costs on to keep warm. Overall disappointing but no criticism of staff.
