My stay at Samskara & Samsara was truly nice. The location is serene, surrounded by lush nature, and the staff made me feel like part of their family. However, I found the Standard room lacking in cleanliness and presentation, which was disappointing given the price. The outdoor dining experience and the scrumptious food definitely made up for the room issues.

I had mixed feelings about my stay at Samskara & Samsara. The location is stunning, nestled in the serene hills of Lansdowne, but the room quality left much to be desired, and it definitely didn't match the photos online. On the bright side, the staff were friendly and really tried to make me feel like part of their family.

The first room I was shown was pretty disappointing. It was dirty with dampness, a weird smell, and low light, not what I expected for the price. Luckily, after a bit of back and forth, I got upgraded to a tent, which was way better with decent amenities.
