Kasol Riverside Camps By Rawat Hotels

Kasol Riverside Camps By Rawat Hotels

4.1 (212 reviews)

Offering a scenic location along the river, Kasol Riverside Camps by Rawat Hotels unfortunately falls short of its luxury label due to severe management failures and hygiene issues. Guests frequently report distressing encounters with pests in dining areas and a critical lack of privacy caused by structural gaps in tent doors. Despite the beautiful setting, the combination of unresponsive service, hard beds, and a lack of hot water makes this a challenging choice for comfort-seeking travelers.

What visitors say

"• While the riverside location is appreciated, visitors are overwhelmed by poor hygiene standards, including reports of rats in the camp and dining areas. • Common complaints highlight a lack of basic hospitality, such as the failure to provide towels, the absence of hot water, and extremely uncomfortable, stiff beds. • The luxury tents suffer from significant maintenance issues and a lack of privacy, which, coupled with indifferent staff and subpar food, leads to a generally negative guest experience."

Nomads Hostel

Travelers should expect a rustic trek to reach the property, crossing a bridge and climbing stairs to access its unique riverside setting. While the atmosphere is perfect for meeting new people, guests are advised to connect with staff like Akshay to ensure their stay balances the natural beauty with local logistics.

What visitors say

"• Visitors frequently praise the stunning riverside location and the welcoming social environment that makes it easy to meet fellow travelers. • The rooftop terrace and helpful staff members like Akshay are highlighted as major positives for those seeking a scenic mountain getaway. • Conversely, some guests expressed significant dissatisfaction with cleanliness standards, including reports of rats and dirty rooms, as well as the property's remote distance from the main market."

Highlander Camp Kasol

Highlander Camp Kasol

4.1 (325 reviews)

Situated alongside the breathtaking Parvati River, Highlander Camp Kasol offers travelers a stunning natural vista and a classic mountain bonfire vibe that captures the essence of the Himachal wilderness. However, guest experiences reveal critical infrastructure flaws, ranging from torn tents that offer little protection against freezing temperatures to severe deficiencies in basic hospitality like room service and potable water. While the scenic location is undeniably peaceful for a riverside chill, prospective visitors should weigh the 'mind-blowing' views against consistent reports of unprofessional management, price gouging at the canteen, and subpar food quality.

What visitors say

"• Visitors are captivated by the camp's prime location, specifically praising the stunning Parvati River views and the evening atmosphere created by bonfires and music. • Major grievances center on poor living conditions, including torn tents with inadequate heating for cold nights and a persistent lack of basic amenities like towels and clean drinking water. • Sentiment regarding management is overwhelmingly negative, with frequent complaints about rude staff, price gouging on simple items like soda, and a general lack of professional hospitality."
