“Rejuevenating R&R”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012
4
people found this review helpful

Visit this place! It's worth it.

Like so many people caught in the daily bump and grind of corporate life, I was frayed at the edges when a friend of mine suggested I take an overnight trip to Blossoms. I'm so glad I took his advice. On the morning I arrived, I was greeted by a gracious receptionist and then by the owner himself. Because I was early, they placed me in a comfortable room, served me complimentary tea while they readied my suite. Once I settled into the room I reserved, I was awestruck by the scenic views. I stepped out onto my balcony and exhaled a sigh of relief for just below, a delightful water stream trickled through the property and the owner was playing cricket with some of the kids on the lawn. Right next door to me was another weary traveler reading a book she hadn't been able to open since the day she purchased it 3 months before. We enjoyed a friendly exchange. I knew that for 24 hours, I was going to get what I needed to jump back on my work horse and that I was surrounded by kindred spirits seeking to do the same.

I spent my evening exploring the outdoors, took a short walk to the beautiful and serene Norbulingka Monastery (their coffee shop serves great banana cake). I sauntered past tea shops with monks playing a local game and watched the sun set from my window. I enjoyed a lovely dinner on the terrace and the owner made a point to greet and spend time with all of us before we retired to our rooms. The next day, I visited McCleod Gunj and while I found many entertainments there, I was more than pleased to return to my Blossoms oasis.

The shower and bath tub were a treat. I had plenty of hot water. My sheets were in tip top condition and the room looked the way it was represented in the photos. I won't take the overnight bus again because that was a bit too harrowing for me. When I return to Blossoms, I'll organise a different mode of transportation. Maybe I'll fly since they've got the airport nearby.

“Beautiful scenery”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012

The best thing about staying here is that when you wake up in the morning, you are greeted y the beautiful mountain scenery! The air here is clean and fresh and it is the perfect place to revitalize and recuperate. I came here with four friends and we all needed a break from the madness that is Delhi. We had spent a few days in Amritsar first and had a driver drive us from Amritsar to Dharamsala. The ride was long and winding. Two of my friends got a bad case of motion sickness. Finding blossoms was a bit of a challenge. it isn't in dharamsala itself. It's a about maybe 15 mintues drive away from the main market area. But being away has it's perks. We were closer towards the mountains and it was quieter. That said if you're walking here, you're going to have a problem getting here. It's a long walk from the main road. The nearest dhaba (eating place) is also along the main road.

The rooms are clean, and very comfortable. The air is cool so there is no need for an air conditioner. It was sufficiently warm. The rooms had a small balcony, enough space for 2 people to stand and look out on the grass field. My only complaint would be that the toilet door kept jamming and I had to use my shoulder to bang myself out of the toilet.

The service staff were really friendly and lovely. We even became really good friends with one of the staff there. He went out of the way to help us. We needed to buy some urent medication late into the night and he offered us a ride on his motorbike to help us buy it.

“A place like Heaven on Earth !”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 January 2012

Was there a few weeks back. A perfect place to relax and kick back. No hustle and bustle of a city life. To be one with your thoughts this is the place to be !

Service Par excellence, did not have to ask twice for whatever i needed. The perfect small town hospitality that one would expect, if one was visiting distant family.....

Will be there again in a few months....cant wait to get back.

Keep up the good

Room Tip: If u like snow, then the rooms facing the Mountain range

“Better donate your money than visit this resort!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2012

people found this review helpful

Booked this resort for two nights in the month of October 2011 and had the most horrendous stay of my life ever !!! I have stayed in all kinds of properties - mid sized 3 star hotels to exclusive 7 star resorts and can say this with surety - Blossoms Village is the worst ever. After driving down to the resort from Delhi (12 hours drive), we were provided with a room that had used sugar pouches, fused lights, a refrigerator that didnt work , a toilet with a flush system that was broken, spiders all over the room, welcome fruit basket with rotten apples and a dead spider. And to add to our woes - power failure that lasted from 11pm to 6 am (or maybe 7 am) next morning.

We arrived at the resort at 5: 30 pm, given a room with a view (of construction material and cow grazing grass next doors) and made to wait till 10pm for fixing all the above, which by the way never happened. The manager Lakbir Singh was apologetic but did not change our room or succeed in fixing any of the shortcomings. Infact, he was more than willing to reduce our stay to one night and help us book some other resort for the next day.

The restaurant has a menu of which most of the items were not available. The place has a shortage of staff and no recreational activites (either in the resort or nearby). There is only a small gymnasium adjoining the reception and a pool table. The view is nothing to boast about, and access roads to the resort are all broken.

I sent a mail to the owner - Nalin Chandra who conveniently ignored all the issues pointed out, and refused to acknowledge any shortcomings. I would request all readers to give this place a miss - and am attaching certain pictures to support my claims (more pics can be shared on request). This property is a complete rip-off.

Room Tip: Avoid this resort !!!!
