Overpriced for what it offers — OK only for budget travelers ($20–$30/night)
* Location & Finding the Place: Hard to locate upon arrival.
* Bathroom & Hygiene: Hot water is available via the boiler, but the showerhead does not work for hot water, only cold. You have to fill a plastic bucket and use a small plastic mug to bathe. There is no toilet paper provided—you use the same plastic mug, which is standard for basic budget travel in India, but worth knowing in advance.
* Service & Food: I had a basic Thali at their small food spot and asked the cook to pick up some fruit for me at the market, leaving the money and my room number. Nothing was bought, and the next morning before setting off on the trek, I was simply told to go to the market myself. I didn’t ask for money back and just left.
* Tip for Trekkers: If you are visiting Gaurikund in late October, don't rush to book ahead—there are plenty of available rooms and places to stay on the spot for half the price.
