    Leisurely and comfortable stay hidden away in an excellent location!!

    The property could probably invest in a few additional modern amenities like a barbecue, better room heaters, revitalise the menu to and ensure availability of most of the items (although that is more a function of the weather conditions) and maybe a generator (instead of an inverter) as the region is plagued by frequent power disruptions. The staff while being excellent in providing the services requested for can be a bit more proactive (like filling water bottles in rooms) to make the place a 10/10 experience. The access road is extremely busy and encounters huge traffic jams and probably the same can be intimated to the Customers upfront to plan better.

    The location of the property is excellent and the staff are nice and cooperative as well. The views from the property itself is mind blowing and is extremely close to the Mukteshwar temple for the religiously inclined which can be accessed through sparingly used mountain trails. The zero point view of Mukteshwar is within a walking by distance of 500 metres. All this without any of the commotion associated with a busy tourist location. The resort staff prepared bonfires for us in bitingly cold and even rainy nights. The food available in the resort, although limited in choice is generally very tasty.

    The staff could have been more cordial, while Vishal (the manager) was helpful, the other staff members could have been more accommodating, friendly and courteous in their tone.

    Loved the location, the room, the aesthetics of the place and the view. It's very close to the Mukteshwar temple, walking distance and their cold coffee is particularly amazing!

    Property says it's pet friendly but is not really! You have to keep your pet on leash 24x7! It's just that they allow pets inside your room. No fenced play area, no dog food available!

    It was a superb location! Staff and food was really nice! Rooms and bed are nice and comfy too.

    The bathroom shower did not work. We had to use the bucket to shower. But the water was warm. It was good to take a hot bath in cold weather.

    Excellent location and close to attractions. Breakfast was custom to our order. The staff was very friendly and always willing to help.

    I booked a 2 bedroom suite, the main room was good but the 2nd bedroom has some kind of weird humid smell that I didn't like. I am not sure if that was the smell from bedding or walls but will be good if property owners can check and take some measures to improve it.

    Location was very good, Staff is very nice, polite and always ready to listen and take care. Breakfast is also pretty good.

    Personally, the only think I thought they must do is proactive house-keeping. All they need to do is ask if the guest wants to do up the bed or wants to room cleaned up. They sure do it on request, just being proactive adds a notch to the experience

    Wonderful location, very homely service, great food - three essential ingredients of living can be found in abundance in Shivaya

    Shivaya is a peaceful abode to reside if one is visiting Mukhteshwar. It is just a few minutes walk from Chauli ki jali which is apparently the main tourist destination there.The food was great and we were hosted with warmth. The rooms gives you a mudhouse feeling with its rustic decor, giving you a 'pahadi' vibes... Overall it was a wonderful stay.

    Our visit to Shivaya surprisingly became a trip that gets etched in your memory for a long long time. It's not everyday that you walk into a property for a leisure stay and end up making genuine friends with real stimulating conversations. Saurabh and Kriti are such amazing hosts who genuinely care about the experience their guests have at the property. The legacy that the property has and the breathtaking views it offers just makes the experience very wholesome. We walked in as guests and walked out as friends. A shoutout to their momos, hands down the best momos ever!

    Breakfast menu was very limited, should be enlarged. A mesh door may be installed to stop entry of mosquitos etc. Cross ventillation was missing. Quilt was quite loose in cover and ended up being a ball till morning.

    Location is just beyond KMVN TRH, very near to bucket list of Mukteshwar - temple, Jaali, IVRI, track to Sitla. Valley view is excellent, breeze is awesome. We went in June month, mornings and Evenings were very cool, noon is hot. anyone who likes vintage property , will like it, others might not. Food is very good. No need to go outside for food
