Kallina Mane Homestay

NOT GOOD. The owner ruined the purpose of booking this stay. PLEASE do think many times before staying here because you won't know what situation you might get in during the stay and the owner is NOT at all understanding or helpful for any urgent situations.
He does not consider customers as guests and looks down upon people depending on their jobs (mentioning this because during the stay when he started shouting at the ladies, our car driver tried to speak to the owner and the owner said - who the hell is this driver to speak to me).

I had booked this stay looking at the reviews, unfortunately I just ignored the bad reviews. I had booked this stay on behalf of my would be husband for the wedding purpose and considering the winter session when the hotels might cancel our booked room.
We reached the stay late night due to wedding functions and we did not inform the owner about us getting late. (since it's a homestay and we assumed main gate to be open all the time during the stay. Also there was no rule book mentioning that we are supposed to inform him about the timings). Owner had LOCKED the main gate and he got angry on calling him. This owner did not understand the situation and started shouting very badly on two ladies and the kids as well (kids really got scared). Nobody could take rest that night (including the bride and the groom). We had wedding functions started at 4am following morning and this owner ruined everyone's mood. During all this he said that watchman dint know about the guest and he locked the gate. Instead of accepting his mistake he continued arguing and shouting.

I had paid the advance and had to pay the rest after the stay. After all this the owner told me to pay rest of the money at that instance else he will kick out the guests from the homestay and he doesn't care about the guests at all.

Note: Rooms were good. But there was no peace of mind during the stay.

Do not stay here owner is very rude to the customer. He ruined the whole mood of enjoyment.

Perfect comfortable stay in Belgaum. Excellent rooms with kitchen fscilities. Owner is very polite and supportive

Excellent homestay arrangements! We stayed for one night of 16 July 2023 in a very comfortable, clean & neat HOME in wonderful company of the caring & receptive family.
5 out of 5 on all the criterias. It was a dream stay rather than home stay!

We stayed here for two nights with my family. Rooms are well maintained, homely atmosphere. I stayed with my 3 yr old daughter and truly it's homely feeling with fully functional kitchen. The owner is a true gentleman and ready to help always at anytime.

Our stay was pleasant and comfortable. Stayed here with my family for 2 days. Experience was awesome as it's a well maintained property. Owner resides within the property and is easily approachable for any services required. Will definitely visit again.

Homely feels and the owner is one gem of a person. Fully fledged kitchen, amazing Ambience, huge parking area, big rooms, well maintained, amazing veg and non veg restaurants around by, Railway station is hardly 5 mins, a perfect place for group of friends as well as family.

After reading the previous reviews about the owner being very cordial to others, I'm surprised to have had a bad experience with the owner. I'm not sure what the issue was, right from the check-in he had issues with the parking.
1. Did not allow to park the car at the designated area.
2. When friends meet after a long time, you do have visitors and they come in vehicles. Ofcourse, if there's any issue with it, one can politely explain the house rules instead of being disrespectful.
3. Overnight parking was asked to park on the road, when asked about the safety the young owner was more co operative and made way for us to park it inside the property.
The place is neat and well maintained, but the attitude of the owner wasn't great. I'd appreciate the young owner who was far friendly than his uncle / father.

Absolutely loved the stay. The hosts were very hospitable and helpful. Will be returning soon
