The views from Koti are amazing! In addition one can do a lovely walk up to an apple orchard just outside the hotel. The food in Koti is very good, fresh and delicious! Lastly the staff were all so welcoming and accommodating. Just outside Koti resort there is a little dhaba/shop on the right that makes the most delicious chai and aloo paratha. You must try! Lastly, nearby one can do the blue pine trek with a guide or a hike Shali Tibba which is breath taking, but you have to drive one hour to arrive to the starting point.

Worst ever resort ever visited. They even give bar on rental basis and don’t allow fellow customers who already have paid to enjoy the resort to enter the bar. Worst staff and even worthless manager. Rooms are also outdated. Instead spend some more money and go to a better place. Worst staff ever seen.

We were a large group and stayed at the koti resort for 3 nights. The property is perhaps one of the oldest in Mashobra and so it has very large rooms with a great view of the hills from each side. In the centre of the property there is a large green area which provides great seating both during the day and the evening. The hotel lit up bonfire for the guests each evening and the food was amazing. Mr Rajeev Ahuja, the manager was there to supervise all the arrangements. Service was incredible, fast and efficient. We will be going back for sure.

The property is fantastic, having picturesque view. They also arranged group's camp. To enjoy the place it is better to come with group of friends. Enjoy the hills tour with family and friends in Koti at Mashobra. They were having very good arrangements. Their service was good and food preparation was appreciable.
