The Banyan Farm 2.0

Never book this farm house ever. Horrible experience Owner seems to be a fraud. They completley spoiled our night.

These guys are complete scamsters. Never ever book this property. Please bear in mind that booking this property is a sure shot recipe to be scammed. While making the booking, they will make false assurances and they will show their true colours when you're at the property for your stay. I hosted a small party of 20 people. When I had asked them if any license etc is required for serving alcohol, they clearly informed that none is required and I can get my personal alcohol and it can be served in my private party. When I reached for my stay and private party along with my staff and personal bartender, the property caretaker suddenly started a drama that if my party has a bartender, then a license is required which will cost Rs.15000. Post that, I called the sales guy who was coordinating. He first mentioned that no such license is required and then after 5 minutes, suddenly flipped his stance. At this point, I informed him that Delhi govt portal is also not working- so how on earth is one supposed to get a license. To which, this guy mentioned that they can manage it and insisted that he be paid Rs 15000 immediately, and until then, he will not let the party start. During this while, guests had already started coming in and forget liquor, he was not even willing to serve water. It was obvious that he was lying and was only trying to fleece money on this pretext, as he knew that with my guests already coming in, I will have to pay him his extortion money. I then paid Rs 15000 for a P-10 license (which inspite of repeated reminders he has failed to provide till now - 2 days after the party also). The behaviour pattern during this whole fiasco was absolutely horrible. I must point out we were not some kids or hooligans, but respected senior level professionals. During the party, food served by the property was pathetic, service horrible, with there being no drinking water post 12 midnight and too many random staff doing nothing but staring at guests and making them uncomfortable. One staff guy randomly during the party asked me to pay him Rs 10000/- through my account and that he would pay me in the morning. Extremely suspicious. Staff was extremely lethargic. While booking the property, I was informed music will be allowed until 11pm outside. At 10.10pm, they just came and unplugged the music to move it inside. Extremely uncourteous and uncouth staff. NEVER EVER BOOK THIS PROPERTY!

Never book this farm for your parties or staycations or functions . I repeat never . Neither the staff nor the owner is anyhow cooperative or friendly . Their would be regular interference of the staff about the rooms about the people about eveything. They wont take anything in writing from you and would at the end would genuinely scam you to the worst . Even if you are still willing then do take everything in written as if not then it would be there best possible way to atleast take 5-6k extra from your wallet and if you disagree to do so THE OWNER of the farm will threaten to call the police. The pool doesnt function till midnight if u try to do so theyll ask u repeatedly to get out if not agreed again theyll threaten u to call the police n throw u out of the farm house . No way the staff will cooperate and will keep transparency Theyll repeatedly interfere by entering inside the building even at midnight. There is a huge issue of electricity and the staff is way too lethargic to even listen to what you say . Make sure to make a video of the place otherwise theyll scam you by showing broken items . Again never visit the place i say never
