Bara Bungalow, Gethia - A Rosakue Collection

It was the perfect trip with my friends .. thanks to this beautiful property with its lovely rooms, delicious well planned meals and its outstanding hospitality.. would definitely revisit!! Special mention to the ***ager Abhishek who made extra efforts to make our trip special.

The hospitality is A1, the property is beautiful & its pet friendly too, a must visit! Stayed in chapter 6 and absolutely loved the interiors. Strongly recommend the riverside high tea & a sit down dinner. Thank you Team Blue Book for truly making it a memorable one.

This is a wonderful property, an old colonial ***sion maintained extremely well with some wonderful staff to help you. We opted for a plan that included breakfast and dinner. Since this is not your typical holiday resort, the meals are not buffet, but it's excellent. The property is about 25 km before Nainital. So there are pros and cons depending on your plan. If you want to spent a quiet time away from all the madness, perfect spot. If you want to roam around the tourist destinations, this is little bit far from them. This is a premium property and hence the services such as cabs for pick up & drop and other in-house designed activities are a little costly, if you choose them, which was expected. The good part is that Mr. Abhishek, the ***ager will give you all the details in advance. Even though he was on paternity leave during our stay, he did support us really well and Mr. Yashpal more than filled in for him. Thanks to all the staff including the chef (forgot his name unfortunately) and Mr. Ashish and Mr. Shrey.

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful charming property. Very classic colonial architecture. The rooms give a cottage feel and have a beautiful view of the valley. Great hospitality and service , we were thoroughly pampered. They made special arrangements of bonfire and seating space based on our request. Food was very yummy and you will find various spots in the property to just chill n relax. Must must visit !!

My mother, husband and I visited Blue Book towards the end of Feb and we had a very special time, thanks to Shrey and the team. The property is beautiful - every corner is so well curated, aesthetic and very well maintained. The caretaking group went out of their way to make things comfortable for us whether it was accommodating our food requests or organising bonfires. The food itself was very tasty and fresh, making us feel at home. This was the perfect holiday we had hoped for to get, and out of the city bustle. A big thank you to the Blue Book team and we look forward to visiting again!

Love the fact that Shrey had shared all details with great clarity !! I travelled with my pet dog and it was the best trip ever! Beautiful property kept with u**ost care. I travelled from Noida by my Electric vehicle. The staff at Blue Book especially Chandanji was so helpful in creating a quick jugaad to charge my car ! Both Chandan ji & Girish ji were so helpful in ensuring that Im relaxed and Enjoy my stay.

Its very rare that I write reviews... but this one was a must do. I visited Blue book this time only because I had heard from people that this new place in the hills is a must visit. And believe me- they really lived up to my expectations. From the welcome to the property, to warm hospitality, the stay and the food- everything was just perfect. The place has goegeous views, modern comforts yet a feel of the British cottage. Just the fact that rooms are not called rooms, but 'Chapters' gave everyone a great feeling to be in. Each room is unique and very tastefully done- specially the bunk bed areas (which truly looked like a kids paradise). Talking about the food- we tried the pahadi thali and believe me, the quality of their cooking was par excellence. Breakfast was a cute set up outside in the sun overlooking the gorgeous snow peaked mountains. We missed going on their hikes as we were short on time, but I guess that can be left for next time. The staff is extremely courteous and help and always ready to help. A big shout out to Chandan who was absolutely fabulous in organising anything and everything for us. Overall- a must must visit for all!

This chapter of Blue Book is quite interesting and exquisite Starting from hot wet towels when you enter to setting up food in any corner of the property they have worked on smallest of the details to make a great mental impression of the whole scenario . Mushroom Cannelloni is heavenly and a must try in their bonfire hall which gives a vintage british touch There is a games room with pool, gym equipments, table tennis and a lot more *****side a huge backyard where sun spreads like a sheet . All the rooms are named chapter wise and have been constructed accordingly, my favourite being chapter 6 if you are travelling with a group This is a very good option for families and large groups especially who want to relax white remain close to the city. Spaced out greens and library make way for beautiful sun cutting through the corners and don’t be surprised while you spot some exquisite birds chirping .

One of the most beautiful resorts built with absolute taste. There are 4 things that really stand it apart 1. The location and views: It is nestled in a very lush green spot, away from constructions. You can see Nainital on one side like a glistening on a whole mountain and far ranging mountains on the other. Monkeys was a regular sight to enjoy for the kids. 3. The architecture : As an architect myself, I can say there are very few places that are timeless. Each room (called chapter) has a different style, space, view and beauty to it. I still long to go back and spend a few more days. There are multiple outdoor spaces and niches for different groups to play, eat and enjoy. Also, everything is like a time machine - the rotary phones in the room, the classic bathroom fittings, the british era art adorned across the halls. As I said there is taste in every nook and corner if you look. 4. The activities and experiences: the trek by Hi***shu had to be the most exhilarating experience here. We did it twice, sunset and sunrise and the point is really heaven in itself. Other than that there's football, badminton and a whole lot of book readying because the blue book is a library you'd want yourself to bury in. All in all, 5 stars for everything.
