Sanjay Home Entire 1BHK Apartments by Group of RK Homestay

Giving a 1 star rating to this place and moving on would be doing a disservice to future travellers looking to book this place. So I'll make a list of reasons why you shouldn't even think of booking this place if you want to have a decent travel experience.1. The owner has put pictures of two apartments. I had whatsapped him at the time of booking, requesting him to book one particular flat out of the 2 flats has posted pictures of. He agreed in written on WhatsApp chat. But when we reached the place, he said he had already given the place to another person. When asked why he didn't keep his promise, he replied "Main kya jo bolunga, wahi karunga?". So effectively, he will do whatever he want, and you can't trust his words.2. The flat has an electrical issue. We stayed for 3 days, and on all 3 days, the flat's fuse would blow out, even when the building itself had normal power supply, and the inverter would barely be able to take the load of the fan and the lights, leave alone using the fridge, AC or refrigerator. The owner said that to prevent this issue, we shouldn't switch on the AC and geyser together. Even though this was inconvenient, we agreed. But the fuse would randomly blow out, leaving us in the darkness late at night, and on one occasion, while we were taking a bath. When we pointed this out, he refused to believe that his flat has an issue. He kept repeating that we had been careless to switch on the AC and geyser together, which was causing this issue, when we were 100% certain that we hadn't done so. 3. The sofa in the apartment is broken (picture attached). He said a previous guest had sat on it abruptly, which broke the sofa. Imagine the quality of furnishing, that a guest sitting on the sofa is enough to break it. 4. There were cockroaches roaming around in the apartment . If you leave anything edible exposed in this flat, you're taking a gamble with your health. 5. The used bedsheets and pillow covers, left behind by previous guests, were kept in the flat itself, just beside the sofa . When I pointed this out to the owner, he asked me why does this bother me. He said it is kept in one corner, how does it interfere with my use of the flat. Imagine the appalling level of hygiene that is followed at this place, that the owner believes used bedsheets, which may even contain bodily fluids of previous guests, being kept beside the sofa is not something to be concerned about. 6. We had booked this place for 3 days. During this 3 days stay, not once was the flat cleaned. There is no caretaker/cleaner at the property. When I asked him why there is no cleaning, he said it is a homestay, and not an hotel. For the first time, I came to know that only hotels get their rooms cleaned, and homestays remain dirty.7. The towels provided are of such poor quality that if you wipe yourself with these towels after taking a bath, small pieces of fabric from the towel will come off and stick to your body, and you'll have a tough time picking each piece of fabric one by one.8. On being pointed out all the above mentioned issues, the owner was shameless enough to ask me how much I had paid for my stay. He was implying that since I had choosen a budget accommodation, I shouldn't expect minimum standards. So for people like me looking to save some money on their stay in puri, if you're unlucky enough to book this place, you'll be told that and so you should make do with whatever the owner offers, and not have basic expectations.
