Ging Tea Estate

If you aim at getting a calm, cool and charming place far from the hassles and tensions of urban life, probably Ging Tea Estate, a place away from the traffic packed Darjeeling City, is the best choice. I stayed at property for 3 days with my wife from 11th to 13th June ,2019 and the majestic green hill views around the property coupled with it’s tranquility nourished our body, mind and soul completely. Our tour guide had planned some sightseeing in Darjeeling for a day but the beauty, peace and scene-tic views around the Tea House didn’t allow us to leave the place. We felt quite rejuvenated, reenergized and replenished after 3 days stay and regretted a little while leaving for not planning a long stay. British period built hotel housing limited 6 big Rooms/Suites for guests, having every possible modern amenities gave us immense feelings of comfort and luxury. The food was excellent and unlimited beverages is available throughout the day. All the meals are prepared fresh by the expert chefs and served hot in dining hall or in rooms ,as per convenience of guests. Having beers 🍺 at Shaded Hut at hilltop, enjoying the beauty of nature, was an amazing experience. The staff were very helpful and friendly, always giving a genuine and warm welcome to guests. Special mention of charming, cool and soft spoken Mr. Pranesh who was always available for any help. He is well versed with entire north east area and is fluent in few languages including English and Hindi. Mr. Andrew, the Manager is too sweet. I promised him to write a review of Resort about my experiences. We are thankful to him for arranging a bonfire evening filled with music by Prashant & Vishal followed by dance of few Guests including me and my wife who enjoyed the most. The only lacking at property was Spa & Massage which can be an added attraction for the long staying guests. Even then,I shall give highest rating to Ging Tea House.

The dining area is full of flies. They keep sitting on food which your eating. And I am surprised that they don't even care about those flies. I don't know how people had good reviews about this place when food itself is so unhygienic. The location is not so accessible. If you want to go from Darjeeling, getting a cab is difficult as they charge a huge sum just to reach there which is hardly 7 km away. If you are going there you must bargain with ging tea house to provide you pick and drop from Darjeeling. That's the least they should do.** . Even the staff said it's just a show piece. Visiting tea factory is also a gimmick as they have very specific timings and it's closed on specific days . The staff does not make any effort to make the visit possible. I was highly disappointed and it's not at all a value for money. It's much much overpriced

Hotel property is good , Location is good buy FOOD QUALITY IS WORST Manager Andrew is not co-operative , He seems busy in his Own world . Only two staff if co-operative & helpful (Raju & Pranesh) Overall , Avoid this property because of 2 Major Things - FOOD QUALITY & MANAGER ANDREW

An unique experience awaits you when you visit the place. A regal affair. The solitude it provides to the tired souls refreshes your spirit. The bonfire in the evening with the live music helps soothe you and livens up your mood.
