I recently spent three nights at The Village Manali, and the location was simply unbeatable, surrounded by the beauty of the old Manali forest and the soothing sounds of the river. However, while my experience overall was good, the management faced some challenges that affected my stay. The cleanliness and room facilities were great, but I did encounter issues with the WiFi and the amenities promised in the room.

I had a great time at The Village Manali, mainly due to its stunning location by the river and the chill vibe around. However, the management could improve; my room wasn't as advertised, lacking a TV and a bathtub, plus the WiFi was spotty, only allowing a couple of users at once. Overall, it was a mixed experience but enjoyable due to the natural beauty.
