Ging Tea House was an amazing experience. We opted for the Victorian Plan and ended up in the Blue Lady Suite. We were the only guests during our weeklong visit. Peace, quiet, comfort- exactly what we were looking for. Services were excellent. Everyone involved were professional, courteous, and made us feel very welcome. Kausik (off-site accounting) was flexible with our requests. Andrew (onsite manager) checked in with us frequently, and Satyajit (driver/chauffeur) helped us by recommending places to see nearby as well as entertaining any wishes we had. We never had any problems accessing the car for any of our day trips. Nikesh (attendant/server) even accompanied my wife through the trails in the tea garden while I had to work. Head chef Rajat was a trained chef with attention to culinary detail that impressed us. Expect non-Indian/non-local food to be Indian-ized/local-ized- very similar how my own family in India may have cooked Western/non-Bengali food. The food was still very good and portion sizes were often more than we could ever eat. Given we live abroad we may have enjoyed a little bit more local or Indian cuisine. However, we also understand that there is a history of Western food that is unique to Darjeeling and other such British Raj era hill-stations. We noticed that effort was made to provide amenities as much as possible in such an old bungalow in the hills. We had no problems staying warm. Large water heaters/electric geysers were installed for hot water. But don't expect running hot water to last very long in the shower. Wifi experienced interruptions, so working from Ging could be difficult, but manageable. Finally, all services and amenities were as advertised on their website unlike a lot of our previous experiences with boutique hotels in India. It would be wonderful if Ging accepted international credit cards that would provide a level of consumer protection / insurance to foreign visitors. With current payment and cancellation policies prospective visitors may be hesitant to book Ging.…

Great location miniscule view of the snow capped mountains from one corner of the garden Great on ground staff and in house staff. excellent food and meals Poor managerial support Poorly maintained property with TV not working in any of the 3 rooms we occupied. Hardly any board games. Magazines outdated by years!! hardly any info on possible activites that can be done on the estate -timings, days services available-example car to take you down to the river-we never got that info nor did the manager provide us that info. grounds very well maintained. No heaters except for one oil heater taht we managed to get on request. no bottled water/simple snackpack on airport pickup-one would expect something esp when arriving 8 hrs from the departure time, No snacks or tea available till 4pm! …

Such a bad experience I never ever had in all my India journeys. Extremely bad Management also seen in the total lack of motivation of the staff. Whatever they agreed to organise went wrong such as transportation etc. Food is not even average. After first day we went to a restaurant to town instead.

What a glorious place to stay with the best team for the property led by Mr Andrews. It was like being transported to a British Bunglow in those days. The team was looking after each and every need of the guests. Restoration and maintenance of Bunglow is good considering its so old. Food is good with pick up and drop and local sightseeing included. Excellent package. Hope to come back and create fonder memories.
