Pros: The cedar cottage is absolutely one of the most beautiful places I’ve stayed at. It has a nice natural feel, the surroundings are incredible. The staff were lovely and very helpful, and the home-cooked food was the best. Very peaceful indeed. You are right in nature so you may get the odd insect scuttling around, but that didn’t bother us. Will definitely try to revisit again!

Pros: Everything.the place is charming. Rooms are beautiful and comfortable. Place is very kids friendly

Cons: Nothing

Pros: One of the best place to stay in bit. Amazing view. The staff is nice. Good cafe with good food.

Cons: NA

Pros: Best place to stay in Bir. Nice common area, games and cafe. Staff was nice.

Pros: Clean place. Staff is helpful.

Cons: Location was inside a lane and no sign boards to guide you. Doing a simple bonfire has a charge of Rs500/- which I felt was really steep. It could have been more nominal.

Cons: No Hot Water at all and even after bring it to their notice they don’t even bothered at all, make a note that for solo travellers reaching the location in night would be a nightmare as there is no street lights and lot of Dogs

Pros: It was a pleasure to stay with the Dogra family. They invited me into their family with generosity and care. Since it was off season I had a whole floor to myself and enjoyed the privacy and quiet. A real treat. The food was also excellent.

Pros: The hospitality of Mr. Dogra's family touched us beyond expectation. Mr. Dogra adds a personal touch to all the services provided. He picks and drops his guests himself, though it's a charged service, it gives a total different experience which feels very personalised. Likewise the food that we had here was yummy, thanks to Mrs. Dogra and Ms. Dimple. We felt so much at home with the way they served us food. We used his bike to go around and did not really have to wander around to find one outside. The rooms are very neatly maintained. More than anything their concern and care makes you feel very safe and homely. A smile with which you are greeted every time makes this family one of the best I've anytime come across. This totally lives by the new Airbnb advertisement.

Cons: Can't really think of any.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: No cleanliness they have no manners to speak we have to wash our utensils by our own no staff available no facility over no electricity no power back up no privacy at all etc etc they blame the customers for one towel thefting and such a poor feeling about this homestay

Pros: The house was stunning, the family were amazing and hospitable, we were so comfortable and relaxed there! The house is a short walk to downtown palampur. Our hosts were happy to feed us succulent home cooked meals and help us with ideas for things to do in the area. On our last day, we were even given a ride to the bus stop and they packed us dinner in containers to take for our ride to Delhi. We would not hesitate to stay again and recommend to anyone wanting a relaxed stay with a lovely family. We had the second floor bedroom facing the main road and it was delightful! We had our own terrace to drink chai on and relax. Thank you for everything Dogra family!

Cons: Nothing to dislike!

Pros: Homestay in true spirit

Pros: The room and bathroom was clean, clean bed sheets , very close to the main road that connects Palampur and Dharamshala, nice family.

Cons: Location is far from the market, no restaurants close by hence have to rely on the host for food. The food served had no variety eg. veg thali for lunch was rice and dal, dinner was chapatis and vegetable, next day we had asked for mutton but they gave some excuse and they served fish curry and rice. Fish curry had two small fish tails only, frankly speaking we are from Mumbai( where you get fresh fish in abundance) and would not serve like this even to our maids!! You can stay here but not eat food.... food cooked is not bad... but the host doesn’t have a heart to feed the guests!!!

Pros: Homely atmosphere

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The location of this place is fabulous, and the food provided is excellent, tasty and value for the money

Cons: Cycles provided to us were without working brakes. so if you plan to hire cycles from katoch, do double triple check the brakes. You really need it in this sloppy location. Also to be fair the host is really humble and didn't change us for the bike.

Pros: Great location and the owners were very friendly and polite.

Pros: This property was very comfortable and exceptionally clean. The host, Sanjay, was very welcoming and incredibly generous. When he realized that we were 5 adult members that had booked 2 rooms with an extra bed in one, he offered us the 3rd room absolutely free since there weren't many occupants at the time. This gesture was much appreciated! The food too was good and was served hot. The surroundings and view were of lush forest trees around the property, a verandah and small cafe down in the front and at night a sky full of stars! I would recommend this place to anyone passing or staying in this area!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Clean, newish, tidy basic accommodation 4km from the noisy Bir Colony town center. Great air and calmness. One of the few places in town with electric boiler- most other places do not have hot water when the weather is overcast.

Cons: Not really a con, but the rooms come with firm queen sized beds - seems to be the standard in India. The distance to the town center has to be factored in/ daily two cab rides (around 2-3 EUR).

Pros: Superb location

Cons: Buffet variety was a bit less , food became predictable after a few courses.

Pros: The property is located at a secluded place out of hustle bustle of big cities.the weather around is fresh and breezy. The activities planned at the resort are good like biking, hiking, mountain climbing, trekking , pottery etc. Its the ideal place for digital dtox

Cons: No room service. One has to get everything made by themselves and even if that is so they dont provide much options except tea, maggi ,eggs which some of which is not even avilable for 24 hrs. The food is very basic and not upto mark. Timing of food is very less and no mid meals in between. So kind of a hostel feel comes to it. One comes to relax and unwind and not to work there also.

Pros: Location and above all staff... very helpful people. Just that cleanliness and hygiene were mu concern. They just need to pay attention to the hygiene levels in hotel rooms.

Cons: Hygiene in washroom and bedsheets and pillows.

Pros: Staff is very courteous. Mr. Ranjit Singh & Mr Popa (nick name of owner) and the staff are amazing. When you drive down 11 hrs and are greeted with warmth and politeness we know what it feels. I had a pet dog with family and it was very relaxing for all. This property is somewhere midway between palampur & dharamdshala which is great to go either way. Snow covered hills in the backdrop, quietness and slight wind chill, perfect. Thanks POPs.

Cons: mix veg :D but nothing to point out. We were there for 2days 2 nights and all was good. The family room was real value for money.

Pros: Extremely well located... Comfortable with nice view of snow clad Dhauadhar Hills.

Cons: Bathroom facilities need improvement...

Pros: Clean and beautiful property.

Cons: Need for Advertisement

Pros: Clean rooms

Cons: No TV

Pros: We stayed at this property for just a night as we visited bir only for paragliding. The property owner Mr. Kapil is very warm and helping. He was very helpful right from the booking of the accomodation till the end of the trip and also helped us in arranging paragliding for us. He made sure our stay was comfortable. Totally recommend this place for the hospitality and value for money.

Pros: I liked Bir Because its less populated and very good climate

Cons: It was worst experience even though we teied to accomodate with whatever problems we faced. We went with smal kids and caretaker was nt ready to let us take any food and drink inside. The hotel doesnt give you bills for stay . Be ready for following surprises: 1. No room service not even bed tea 2. You cant eat anything in room. 3. Caretaker will charge you for bedsheet if anything is spilled on it. 4. We stayed for 2 days but rooms will not be cleaned and bedsheets wont be changed. 5. Be ready to see stray dogs outside ur rooms. Chicken fry was good by resturant, hotel careter was only good. Owner of hotel comes and fight with you. Dnt expect much.. Just warning you about experiences

Pros: Simple, clear rooms, Friendly staff. A bit of a way out of the main town area - however this had its advantages, (no barking dogs all night)

Pros: The place is very near to landing site.Rooms are spacious and well ventilated. Nice view of the Takeoff site from the Balcony if your room is on the top floor.

Cons: The main problem with the property is their Inhouse Kitchen is being run by a different owner, so you cannot order the food in the room.Next up the service in cafeteria is Pathetic. It takes hell lot of waiting time to get the food. Building is quite old and can be revamped but still its ok considering the price.

Cons: Chinese Food bit too spicy

Pros: The manager was very friendly and helpful

Cons: Everything was good

Pros: Located slightly out of the main town area and on a busy corner (which can get a little noisy). Main town centre is within walking distance and there area couple of places to eat locally. Staff were friendly and readily available to help out. The Manager of the property was super nice and very generous with his time etc.

Cons: Unfortunately the rooms needed a really good clean (this was what let the place down as a number of people in our group commented on this fact). Also expect some traffic noise and dogs barking during the early hours of the morning. A bar fridge and tea/coffee making facilities in the room would have been good.

Pros: Nothing...we stayed only for one day...hotel charged us for 3 days...

Cons: I dont like anything...cheap hotel

Pros: Apt location In house paragliding assistance Clean affordable rooms Food is decent

Pros: Breakfast is good.

Cons: No toiletries in the room and basic cutlery in the room is not upto the standard. Food is little expensive for this kind of hotel. Heating was included for my booking but still I made to pay for it.

Pros: Behavior of staff

Pros: The staff was amazing

Pros: I like the location of this property. It is closeby to Garden Cafe that is a fairly decent place to sit and have good food. The market is close by so one can easily take a walk and enjoy the mountains. I would advise the fellow traveller to rent a bicycle and explore Bir.
