Customer Testimonials

Welcome to Simply Offbeat’s Customer Testimonials page

Hi Chanak, my family and friends had a great time at Parashar Agritourism in Junnar. We are really happy with Simply Offbeats planning, service and quick response for providing us various options. We liked Parashar overall, very clean and hygienic place. The place is close to nature away from city life, pollution free climate where you enjoy rural activities like bullock cart ride, farm visit, fresh vegetables and fruits. Mr. Manoj, the owner and his staff took great care of our group and never said no to anything.
Thanks very much, we had a great time. We look forward to plan our future holidays with Simply Offbeat.

Hi Chanak, My Parents had a wonderful time at the place. The location is very good and its very near to the market area which helped them reach other places very soon. The service is also very quick at the bungalow and it is very hygienic too. Good luck.

– Priyesh Nakku

One of the finest places we have checked into , the Lonavala bunglow was simply breathtaking. The prices are affordable truly wonderful. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to plan a getaway. Thanks Simply offbeat for making our visit splendid.
– Bharat Jagwani

We had no idea about the place we chose for our weekend getaway. We knew that it was famous for its turtle festival and thats it. Not like many others we drove down to this place on a Sat morning, little did we know that maharashtra has 2 Velas Beaches and bang we reached the Velas in Raigad and not Ratnagiri. After about 2 hours of opposite direction drive and a ferry ride we reached a small, serene, tiny village named Velas in Ratnagairi district of Maharashatra. The best part of it … almost a 2 kms drive along the sea shore to reach the village where everybody knows everyone.We booked our accommodation through Simply Offbeat at a place called Sameer Homestay. Velas is a village with no hotels or guest houses to accommodate in case you are looking out for a simple back to basics weekend…this is the place. Sameer homestay was exactly what we wanted, a beautiful village “Pucca” ghar will await you with its owner standing right in the front for welcoming the guests. The house was clean and tidy, the hosts were just wonderful, the hospitality extended to us during our 1 night stay with them is definitely unforgettable. We were like family to them. The whole family and village people spent time chatting with us and sharing their stories.This review would be incomplete without the special mention of the mouth watering meals Sameer’s wife prepared for us. The special coconuts plucked off the tree just for us, the special tea and sweets prepared by them… the list is just endless.

Stay at Sameer homestay could not have been pleasant without SimplyOffbeat. A superbly unique concept, I must say. Simply Offbeat went a step further in arranging the perfect stay for us at an unknown place.. which is highly admirable 🙂

Looking forward to many other trips with SimplyOffbeat..

PS: Plz do not miss out on the beautiful Velas Beach… Happy Traveling

I visited velas beach during diwali 2013 and it was an amazing experience. The stay was very good and comfortable and the food was amazing and the overall cost was very reasonable. The staying experience was very rural and very much to our liking. Thanks for such a wonderfull trip.

My wife and I booked a room at Akash Hotel in Kashid at the very last minute over the Christmas weekend. Chanak of Simply Offbeat was incredibly helpful and patient. The stay at the Akash Hotel was good. They are a new establishment with a wonderful owner and family. Its proximity to the south side of Kashid Beach was an extreme bonus as the southside is very clean and not as crowded. The food and service at the hotel was reasonably good. Views were not that great from the hotel but the rooms themselves were clean and spacious. I would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting a good point to venture from and return to, but I would not say it is the sort of place to just "get away" to. Thanks again, Chanak.

The booking process was smooth, the staff was very helpful, courteous and available. The location of the Namaste Yoga Farm in Gokarna was amazing. It was right next to the Kudle beach. The room could have been a bit better though. Overall, my family had great time in Gokarna. Thanks for arranging the stay!

Simply awesome! thats the only way i would describe our relaxation and rejuvenated 2N/3D trip to Anandvan, Wai. The resort, its scenic beauty, the warm and contemporary rooms, the kids play area in the garden, their ever available staff, the homely authentic maharashtrain food, all deserve a worthy mention. we just had to land ourselves there, and from there on....we were taken care of---by the beautiful ambience of the place and the hospitality! The place is abt 30 kms frm mahabaleshwar so it was a good drive there. And also peaceful, as it was far from the hustle bustle of mahabaleshwar too! It was a perfect place to spend some quality time with family. We really had a memorable time and shall cherish this vacation forever for more reasons than one. Thanks much Chanak again! it was a Price-Less (in all manner)experience indeed! Shall definately look forward to you exploring more such places for us!!!

Chanak and team continue to be super duper dependable... whenever i feel thrz something different i wanna experience.. or only share with him the slightest of expectations from a getaway, SimpleOffbeat exactly knows what to suggest and book... This time too during holi, when all other resorts were booked in view of a long weekend, I decided to go through SimpleOffbeat. Thank you so much for a quick response and an amazing weekend.... He booked us at The Anandvan resort in wai... and here goes my review of the place... This place came as a great surprise to me and my husband who desperately wanted a relaxed weekend... With no expectations in our hearts, we went out to this property which is located at about 250 kms from Mumbai...the road to the resort after you take a right for Wai is great... the resort falls to your right and has a beautiful and welcoming entrance. Resort is huge and has great rooms. We stayed in Gulmohar and were quite impressed... The rooms are kept very clean and tidy. Rooms are cozy and extremely comfortable.. Bang outside the rooms is a huge sit out place, which in the evening, under the stars will become your fav chill out place.... the staff is courteous and always ready to help... U would get veg food, but on your request, they do prepare lip smacking chicken :) .. remember to place your order well in advance.... A view of mountains, in the mid of huge farms, with a quiet road leading to farms, and spectacular location, we couldn't have asked for a weekend more relaxing than this... Thank you once again SimplyOffbeat!!!

Dear Chanak, First of all the property that we stayed - GOA, BUNGLOW / COTTAGES next to BAGHA No of People - 18 ---- The Positive Points: In first place we loved your service, the property was very nice, was kept clean and things were nicely arranged and kept in place for us before even we entered. The place was spot on, very close to the beach, still having a silent and peace environment and was having ample parking space for our 9 Bikes which we had rented. The lawn in the property was very nice The booking process was very easy infact it is you who made the entire process very easy for us. Over all a nice and pleasent stay for the entire 3days for our gang of 18 people. Negative Points: 1) THE CARE TAKER OF THE PROPERTY WAS HELPFUL, BUT AT TIMES WAS VERY RUDE. He was rather more interested to charge us for small small things for his pocket. Un fortunately i lost the Bike keys, i told him show me a place where-in i can make a new key, rather than that, he charged me forcefully INR 500 for a key, infact he already had a duplicate Key with him. 2) He had arranged a Helmet for us, out of which one helmet was left in the Bike, which one of his friends (Care taker's friend) who was the owner of the bike took away when it was the end of our trip, he demanded us the Helmet, we said it was in the Bike itself, he said i dont know anything, give me 500, un fortunately to avoid the delay and all the negative impact we simply gave 500 bucks to him for an helmet which has was knowing that it was there in the Bike. OVER ALL THE PROPERTY IS VERY GOOD, but the caretaker is very bad, and does not care about the guest etc. Chanak, we really appreciate your service and quick response. Also as discussed with Ajay, we look forward to discuss the ZANSKAR TREK in November with you. OVERALL A NICE EXPERIENCE. Thank you Cheers Mate Dhaval shah

The stay at the Leh homestay booked through Simply Offbeat was very comfortable, homely and not to forget mentioning, at incredibly reasonable price! With a brook gurgling adjacent to the homestay, clean rooms, great hospitality and great hosts it was one of the best halts during our visit to Ladakh and Nubra Valley. Quick response from Chanak to queries and for bookings. Appreciate it! Thanks

Dear Chanak, Our trip to Wai was exactly what we had visualised it to be. Our family was looking for some 'we' time and the clean and homely ambience at Anandvan helped us to relax. The hotel nestled amidst scenic calmness and was just a drive away from places of historic and tourist interest. The staff at Anandvan were extremely helpful and polite and helpful. In fact, the owner Anand, too was there and he was very helpful and recommended us to many places of interest. The price too was very reasonable. A total value for money, awesome trip.

We went on a school trip to Velas with over 30 kids. We had a great time! The kids learnt about turtle conservation, food and accommodation was arranged really well, the locals were most gracious and everything went off really smoothly. We saw two baby turtles on our first visit itself and the kids were super excited! Thank you Simply Offbeat for a superb field trip for our kids!

"Home-Away-From-Home" will be the four words that precisely concise my experience or feedback, whatever you want to name it .... I went for the Home-stay@Velas provided by SimplyOffbeat, based on very high recommendations from my friend who visited the placed earlier. It was pretty much par the expectations that I actually had from the place .... Simply a perfect place if you are searching for some peace from your tormented day-to-day life... The hospitality offered by the owner was the place was very pleasing indeed - in terms of everything. Never felt an inch uncomfortable at the place with respect to anything. The rooms were neat and tidy and well maintained too. The food served was the real highlight though with substantial quantity served to fill your apatite. Actually I must say that more often than not, stomach used to get filled, but not the soul remained unsatisfied to leave the food ... Thanks to SimpleOffbeat and Chanak and the owner of the home stay and not to forget the Aunty who hosted and prepared the wonderful food, for helping to make it a memorable trip. Just one regret, I should have planned it a week earlier so that I could have also had the opportunity to attend the turtle fest. Never mind. There is always a next time. Surely looking forward to re-visit the place again, this time for the turtles. Highly recommended one ...
