we spent only one night in this beautiful place.............. away from the maddening crowd. Very well appointed rooms, nice and clean, attached very clean bathrooms with running hot and cold water. Very good food and service - there is no menu, you are asked what you would like to eat and the food is prepared fresh for your dinner. One... More

Booked the Mud Cottage for one night as I intended to use the place more as a base for going further up. The reservation process was quite smooth & the route to the resort was conveyed quite clearly. The resort lies at Kaithlighat, on way to Shimla & is about 2 KMs down the main highway. The turn from the... More

13 km before Shimla away from the overcrowded streets. The mud houses are a treat to stay in with superb view. The highlight is the staff. Extremely humble and always ready to help. The food is simple but the best that I have ever had in any of the resorts! Overall a great experience

Should have your own vehicle to reach the place and come on to the main road. Food average but not very great. Food is not value for money. Facilities to go... More

I went twice to Oakwood and it was great experience. Resort owner Mr. Vineet Sharma took care of us. Driver picked us from bus stand. Rooms were so clean and tidy. Every time I visit Shimla I love to stay in Oakwood. I feel close to nature. Food in Oakwood is great. Staff of Oakwood is very helpful. I must... More

It is extremely difficult for me to be very objective and pen down why one should visit Oakwood. I have been there twice- yet I have always came back wanting more. On both the occasions, I have been there with my set of friends and the nights we have spent sitting around the bonfire, enjoying the weather and the view... More

We went to Oakwood Hamlet with great expectations of an eco holiday. Our mud hut's linen was not clean and we had to request that it be changed. The bathroom was clean but the towels were not. Clearly, hygiene is not a priority in this place. If hygiene is important to you, don't expect it from the linens! Anyone who... More

Its a bit of a drive from the main road to get to this hotel, so don;t get disheartened by that. Its all worth it. This is really an excellent place if you want to unwind and be away from hustle bustle of Shimla city. Excellent resort with some good amenities. The food and service is excellent. It is advisable...

Oakwood Hamlet is one of the most restful places one can go to. It's affordable, comfortable, clean and quiet. In other words this is exactly the kind of place where you would like to go if you're looking for a recharge after a few months of hectic work.
