Eco Lodge Kausani is one of the resorts in a chain built up by Chevron group in Uttrakhand. The promotional tag line for Eco Lodge is that it has been built keeping in mind the least interference and damage to the environment. The building is constructed of local slate and flat rocks using mud as binding material with mud plaster. Use of mortar or cement has been minimal or not at all. They have tried as much as possible to faithfully follow the Koti Banal type of architecture used in Uttrakhand. The lodge looks like many houses in Kausani and surrounding rural areas. This style is included even for what serves as a dining hall which looks like a roadside shack open on three sides.  Fortunately, bathrooms have modern facilities. Even the electrical switches are also from an era long past and not to be seen anymore in contemporary houses. Light posts have an independent solar panel.  The location of Eco Lodge is excellent with a panoramic view of the Himalayan Ranges with Nanda Ghunti and Trishul peaks clearly visible. This happens only if there are no clouds, no haze or smog. This is a big ”IF” as in our two-night stay we had a really good and clear view of Nanda Ghunti and Trishul peaks only on the last day as we were checking out. Other times the peaks looked hazy and taking clear photos was not possible. The grounds and lawns are very well maintained. Plenty of flowering, medicinal and exotic plants. One can take away saplings for their own gardens. After staying there I feel that they have gone overboard with local architectural style. We were given room number 103. I found that the room was quite dark. there was no natural light. The room appeared dam and musty. No cross ventilation. I did not like it luckily there were other rooms available and I opted for, I think room 102 which was slightly better. The staff was helpful and courteous. The food was nice. Positives for Eco Lodge, Location, Staff, the grounds and food.  A big negative, the rooms on the ground floor are dark without natural light, stuffy and dampish.No comments about first floor rooms or duplex as did not have a look at them.

Hotel employees were very helpful and took care of all our requirements. The heater could have been of better quality. Visited in a group of 6 and stayed overnight.

Our most amazing stay on our 12 day trip to Uttarakhand was in Kausani and the only reason was Sun n Snow hotel. We chose this property to see Himalays Snow Peaks but sadly wildfire in jungle made visibility poor but still we had lot of fun here. Property location is perfect, its quiet, warm and welcoming. Rooms were little small but common areas and garden was quite spacious and full of flowers and greens which we all loved. Amenities were well taken care and ambience was very good. The most awesome part of this property are people, very warm, very welcoming and always ready to help. Special mention is Shivraj ji who should be in a 7 star hotel, always smiling and helping out in different ways. We wanted to drink chai in open areas and all other hotels said no because of monkeys but Shivraj ji said you guys enjoy your tea and I will stand here with big stick and take care of monkeys. Now that's a service oriented approach. We stayed here for 3 nights and when we visit Kausani again in future we will book Sun n snow again for sure. Totally happy so 5 stars to them.
