Megur Homestay — Hotel in Karnataka

This was the WORST experience. The hospitality of the old man who own's the place sucks big time. He behaved like a hitler, people who are going to enjoy please don't go here , it will be mental torture. This homestay is not even inside their house but a separate cottage which is ok but let me start listing down the amount of issues they had -

1. Breakfast - It will not full-fill your stomach and he will not provide more
2. Dinner - He will not provide dinner on time and you need to await a long long spat and argument with them. There is no reasoning you can do with them. He just say "As per HIS home stay NORMS " it is not included in the package. He will listen to your conversation and come back and argue more.
3. He will not provide all the facilities what he was agreed at the time of booking.
4. You have to walk to their door step and ring their bell even for the smallest of things
5. He keeps on talking unnecessary things even if you stop arguing with him.
6. Lot of mosquitoes inside the room.
7. He was supposed to provide 3 rooms as agreed with his son Gagan, but his father provided only 2rooms and asked us to adjust within itself. We were more than 10members and we asked him to provide the third room but he told that there is no person to clean and it costs him too much.
8. The worst part of the homestay is the owner- he eats your head like anything. You can't argue with him. And if you call and inform about these issues to Gagan who take the booking behaves like anything.
9. Service wise is really horrible, you people need to beg for your requirements.. even after paying them huge amount of rent.. if u demand anything in this home stay... these peoples takes very lite and ignores your request. If you complain about this, owner will say for the amount you have give we can provide only this much.

Please please don't go there... Kelagur is a beautiful place but if you stay in Megur Homestay it will surely spoil...

Pros||- Scenic location amidst tea estate.||- Many sightseeing options nearby.||- Amazing drive through the tea estate and roads were good till last 3 km.||Booking experience was good||||Cons ||- Ground floor Rooms were not in good shape, were stinking very badly (it might be because of rainy season but could have been maintained better) even after room freshener it was same.||- Dirty and smelly bed sheet and pillow covers (as per host it was changed)||- No toiletries, only hand-wash in bathroom||- No sanitiser bottles (considering its just post covid time)||- Window don't have mesh so have to be closed all the times to avoid insects.||- No room service, tea and coffee was kept in common place (food at one place is understandable )||- Not many choice of food (host asked us to inform in advance but we missed, so may be our fault) unlike other homestay where they have proper spread, cannot comment on taste because mostly it was local cuisine.||- Loose pets roaming everywhere in rooms/dining area (We also love pets but with small kids we have to be a bit careful about hygiene n all )||- No one bothered to check on us if anything required/any feedback even when we cut short our trip by one day, host was least bothered may be there were multiple enquiries for the day we decided to leave.||||I don't want to take away everything from host may be things didn't work out for us this time, but yeah given above things are improved it will be a good option...

Fellow travelers, I recently had the opportunity to sojourn at Megur Homestay, and I must say, it was an exquisite experience. This homestay is situated in the heart of a verdant tea and coffee plantation, offering an unparalleled vista of nature's bounty.

The proprietors, Mr. Gagan and family, were gracious hosts, providing me with every comfort and amenity that I required. Their hospitality was beyond reproach, and I found their local knowledge and counsel to be most edifying.

The Homestay itself was a study in simplicity and charm, with each room appointed with a refinement and elegance that would have been most agreeable to my wife. The common areas were tastefully decorated, offering a delightful respite from the rigors of travel.

Of particular note was the opportunity to trek and camp upon the nearby hill, which afforded me a glimpse into the beauty and majesty of nature that I so often extolled in my speeches. It was a privilege to bask in the glorious panorama of creation that stretched out before me.

In conclusion, I can wholeheartedly recommend Megur Homestay to any discerning traveler seeking refuge and repose amidst the verdant hills and dales. I would deem it an honor to return there at some future time, should my travels take me back to...
