My stay at Karma Vilas was quite a mix of experiences. On the positive side, the serene setting amidst oak forests provided stunning views and the rooms were spacious.

I wouldn't say it was value for money during my visit, especially regarding the dining options.

Overall, it has potential, but significant improvements are needed.

My family and I had a wonderful time at this resort in Mussoorie. The location was perfect, just close enough to mall road but secluded enough for peace and quiet. Our rooms were spacious with stunning views of the Doon Valley, but we did have some challenges with pesky monkeys around. The food was delicious, and the staff made our stay even more enjoyable with their attentive service.
