This review is actually for "Bandipur Plaza Resort and its proprietor Bineesh A Paul.
I had a very bad experience with Bineesh Paul - please stay away from this person. I booked a double bed room at Rs 750 per day per person for two of us for 1st May 2009. I deposited the money in his account on 29th April and he has confirmed the booking.
On the next day 30th April morning he has informed that due to election process all the rooms would be given to the election people and he had to cancel the booking. He also assured that he would refund back the money.
Hence we booked a different hotel on the same day. At the evening Bineesh has called me and told that one room at Rs 2500 per day is available. But by that time we have already paid for the other hotel and we didn't proceed for that Rs 2500 room. He assured that he would refund back the money very soon, but it took 4-5 days. But most of all he refunded back only Rs 1000, not Rs 1500.
He is saying that since we cancelled the booking for Rs 2500 room he is deducting it as cancellation charge! But we didn't even book that room! By that time our other hotel was already booked! It's not a matter of just Rs 500, but he is a pure cheat! I don't know by this technique how many people he has cheated and collected how much money! I have the recorded our telephone communications and also the email discussions are available. I am planning to file an FIR against him - I will surely do it. So please be aware of this person.
Moreover when we went to Bandipur I found his hotel, it's located in a very bad place. Whereas most of the resorts are located just at the border of the forest (you can see dears just at the outside of your resort), this is located far off. The surrounding is just like a desert. Better to find a different resort somewhere else.
