Privystays Jk's Private Bungalow/Villa with Pool in Alibag/Alibaug — Hotel in Maharashtra

We stayed at this villa in Alibaug for 2 nights with our group. Overall, it was a good experience but with some things that could be better.

The living hall was very big with plenty of space to sit together, and the large dining table was perfect for our group meals.

The rooms were okay — not very luxurious for the price, but decent enough. A couple of bedrooms didn’t have lockable keys, and one room on the first floor (beside the pool) felt too separate and a bit scary to use at night, so we avoided it.

The location is very peaceful, tucked away at the end of a kachcha road with greenery and no noise at all. But because it’s so inside, it did feel a little unsafe at night. The caretaker locked the main gate, but the inside gate between the bedrooms and living area wasn’t closing properly.

The pool was big and perfect for a group, but it needed better cleaning as we saw insects in the water.

About food, it’s not included (which we knew in advance), but they don’t allow guests to use the kitchen either, even for making tea or Maggi. They only provided a kettle in the living room, which wasn’t practical for a group. Also, basic things like plates and cutlery were not kept ready on the dining table — we had to call the caretaker each time, which wasn’t convenient.

Overall, the villa is good for a group stay because of the big living space and pool, but with a few improvements in cleanliness, safety, and convenience, it could be...

Our family of 13 recently stayed at this spacious villa, and it was a mixed bag. The villa itself was lovely and comfortably accommodated our large group, which was a huge plus. We also enjoyed the good food and the refreshing pool.

However, several issues significantly detracted from our stay. We found non-functioning plug points in multiple areas, the bedsheets were shabby with insects (requiring us to clean them before use), and the kitchenware and utensils were old and unkempt.

The biggest challenge was the on-site staff's efficiency. Despite ringing for assistance, responses were often delayed or absent. We had to request room cleaning and trash removal multiple times, sometimes up to four requests, which made us feel they were overwhelmed. Breakfast service, though tasty, was consistently slow, often taking an hour and a half. Even the pool net was torn, forcing us to clean it ourselves.

This property has great potential with its spaciousness and amenities. However, with improved staff training, a more efficient and well-equipped team, and an upgrade to their kitchenware, it could be a truly fantastic experience. Based on our recent stay, we'd rate it 2.5 out of 5 and hope these concerns are addressed for...
