This is the worst hotel not only India but also probably in the world. Last year on October I booked this hotel through make my trip. When I reached there found no body in the reception but two old man and woman. I wait for check in and after 15 to 20 minutes one lady about but 35 came and deny to check in me causing the payment is not as per her requirements, I told her I have booked room through make my trip and payment has already been done. She contacted to make my trip about her inadequate payment. And lastly she claimed more money from me.Lastly I have to cancell the booking and I have to stay there only one night as there was no way, and paid her double money for one night. The room was too small in size And very old building , painting of the wall has washed away,no window in the room. But her rent is about to 5 star hotel. In the dawn of that night I left the room with a long salute to the building because there was nobody in the hotel. So don't try anybody to book this hotel, rather think to stay on the footpaths.

This place is ok for those who are on a tight budget trying to seek some shelter. The service of this place is less than expectations... They offer cooked lunch or dinner but try not to fall for that as it is so costly than any other restaurants there... The bathrooms are clean... But the rooms are not that spacious and the lodge itself not situated facing any view point... Though at this price point... I think we get more than what we deserve!

it was good and all but the price to performance ratio is awful. because I had experiences with mice at a room that costs around Rs.1000/- per night. 2 person meals (Steamed Rice, sabji, daal, omlete) which costed Rs.300/-. The view is super awesome from the window, but to be honest that wasn't worth thousand per night with that small room. However, The water facility was perfect as I had no bad experiences with it. Overall, I could recommend this hotel to someone if they are ready for some adventure plus mice issue.

I booked this lodge for two days. A monestry and a Kali mondir within walking distance. So location is not so bad. Main market nearly 1.5 km. So I have booked for 24 persons, all are my family friends and relatives. So I have booked lots of room. And have seen all rooms and bath rooms. Every broken window which freedge you at night. Rooms are small. All rooms are darty they never wash beds, bathrooms or even reception room. Bad smell comming from bed, bathrooms everywhere. Only 3 rooms are so so. But "aasli bat" came at morning...Water problem!!! I am not talking about "hot water" or "cold water"...talking about minimum water required at morning for toilet purpose. Not a single person got any water. So we have taken bucket and collecting water from ground floor. All stair steps are narrow and stiff.|||| Originally this lodge has no basic infarstructure for tourisom business. ||I have visited Kasmeer to Kanyakumari but never faced this type of tourist trap. And it in my own state!!!||Not recommend at all.||I have so upset for booking this J P Lodge that I want to forgot those two days from my memory.||This was happend due to not beliving others Review about JP Lodge. It was my fault.....

I have booked 5 days and 4 nights trip with J.P.Lodge through Eastern Travel. In last 7 years I have gone to various places through Eastern Travel so I trusted their choice of selecting J.P.Lodge. On 21st Oct 2012 I reached Kalimpong and straightly headed for J.P.Lodge. No body was there at the reception. 1 Old lady came by and asked us to wait until the daughter of the owner arrives. We had to wait for 30 minutes until she came and we showed her our booking slip. Now came the nightmare when she asked the old lady to show us our room. We booked 2 tripple bed and one double bed room.The old lady first took us to the double bedroom and I was literally shocked to see the condition of the wall. Patches of wall paints are coming out in one side, the toilet was Indian (which really shocked me since we paid 2800 per night), the room was a bit larger than the bed, there is almost no space to freely walk till the door. I then asked the old lady to take us to the tripple bed room where more awful situations were waiting. When she opened the door we first checked the bathroom and Oh my God!!! they didn't even clean the bathroom after the previous boarder had left. The pungent smell of urinals were coming out from the room. There was NO water at all anywhere in the hotel. When I checked the bed I could see various stains and hairs which clearly states that the room never got cleaned up before handing it over to us. Then and there I called up Eastern travel and told them everything in details. I took the decision of changing the hotel right away and quite surprisingly when my travel agent called the reception the manager was blaming us that everything was perfect but we are still creating chaos. I got almost furious and then another Bengali couple came by and explained how terrible it has been for them to spent a night in J.P.Lodge. They were leaving as well. Thank God my travel agent trusted me and said they will refund the whole sum of money which I spent on the booking. I know the owner of Eastern travels and every time he has been so good at selecting the hotels but this time I really don't know why it didn't work. Even this time we had our connecting stay to Rishyap which was booked by him as well and the hotel was quite good with the view of Kanchenjunga. Anyways coming back to J.P.Lodge I would never recommend anyone to be there until they remarkably change the condition of the rooms and services. I am thankful to God that we could find a Resort to shift even at the peak season of Durga Puja Holidays.
