We visited Santiniketan from 14th to 17th Apr 2017 and stayed at the Deer Park Eco Home.I arrived from Dubai where I was working and needed a peaceful vacation.Having selected this property,I now must confess that this trip to Santiniketan and stay at Deer Park Eco Home was one of the biggest mistake of my life.The caretaker(Or maid called Nomita)was the biggest disappointment at the home stay.She was the only staff around and she was engaged in housekeeping,cooking,sweeping,security,stewardess,front desk attendant.Needless to say that if you find a rude and arrogant staff like her,your vacation is automatically gone for a toss.She just cleaned the room once during our stay.She would refuse to supply water,tea if you ask for.She would say'Why can't you fill in your bottle of water yourself?or,Tea would be served only if I have time.The food that she cooked and served was just too bad for us to consume and frankly speaking not worth eating.Yet,the price was high.The day we departed,we were refused breakfast(At 9AM)as she said that there was no atta/maida and aloo in the store.However,we later saw that that a foreigner couple was served breakfast,probably expecting a fat tip.We raised this matter with the owner Mrs Dutta but we never got any encouraging response from her side.In fact,we never got to see her.The property is excellent,quiet,green and excellent for anyone who wishes to spend a nice vacation away from the noise.We would never recommend any traveller to...We visited Santiniketan from 14th to 17th Apr 2017 and stayed at the Deer Park Eco Home.I arrived from Dubai where I was working and needed a peaceful vacation.Having selected this property,I now must confess that this trip to Santiniketan and stay at Deer Park Eco Home was one of the biggest mistake of my life.The caretaker(Or maid called Nomita)was the biggest disappointment at the home stay.She was the only staff around and she was engaged in housekeeping,cooking,sweeping,security,stewardess,front desk attendant.Needless to say that if you find a rude and arrogant staff like her,your vacation is automatically gone for a toss.She just cleaned the room once during our stay.She would refuse to supply water,tea if you ask for.She would say'Why can't you fill in your bottle of water yourself?or,Tea would be served only if I have time.The food that she cooked and served was just too bad for us to consume and frankly speaking not worth eating.Yet,the price was high.The day we departed,we were refused breakfast(At 9AM)as she said that there was no atta/maida and aloo in the store.However,we later saw that that a foreigner couple was served breakfast,probably expecting a fat tip.We raised this matter with the owner Mrs Dutta but we never got any encouraging response from her side.In fact,we never got to see her.The property is excellent,quiet,green and excellent for anyone who wishes to spend a nice vacation away from the noise.We would never recommend any traveller to visit this place unless the service improves and staff is replaced with prper training in hospitality.More
