    The only positive point of staying in this property is that it is in the midst of Sonajhuri Forest. Other than that, this bungalow is utterly disappointing. The services, staff behaviour, quality of food and on top of that the attitude of the owner is horrible to start with. The rooms are poorly maintained, unhygienic and not at all spacious. The ground floor rooms are designed in a fashion that there is zero privacy. The staff do not cooperate at all. There is zero management of guests and no place to lodge complaints. People don't get food served on time even if they had placed their orders hours before. The food is absolutely tasteless and overpriced. Do not stay at this property despite the good reviews. (God knows where they are sourced from) There are plenty of better properties in the same price range and location.

    The location and ambiance was excellent. Neat and well maintained property. Behavior of staff was also good. Food was nice. Over all a nice choice for weekend shantiniketan tour.

    Don't get fooled by the outer looks..this is Just a basic lodge experience..with fantastic location adjacent to Sonajhuri Forest.. Food is also very costly in comparison to the quality and taste of the same. Only pros- the location <full stop>

    One of the most bad resort i have seen in my life. Top of that, the main issue is behaviour and money. Better to stay on road rather than this hotel. I have talk with Nibir Banerjee via phone i guess, the behaviour is very bad. Not suggested this resort

    Very quite, peaceful and beautiful place, attached with nature. Early morning woke up with birds chirping (song) and at night frogs croak and cricket chirping sound took me to my childhood days. Testy home made food . Feel like Home away Home. And the staffs are beautiful. I loved their service. Yes, I really enjoyed the stay in Prokriti Bon Banglow 😍

    Well..if you are looking for a resting place far from the madding crowd..and if you can compromise with the lack of some basic inconvenience..then you can think of this place.. Its situated in the outskirts of bolepur..at the backside of Sonajhuri forest.. We stayed at Room no 8..a double bed room with A.C..first of all ..its in the first floor facing the canteen..and the forest..the location is excellent..you will get 24 hr..hot water in the washroom through gysr. The room is enough for just 2 people...the bed cannot accomodate more than 2 adult. The curtains are really shabby and dust covered..even they don't provide any toilet soap.. Now..comes Food..well..they provide either bread omlette or Puri sabji(4 large pieces of puri) for breakfast. ..in lunch not much option is there Veg thali(Rice,daal,bringal fry, cauliflower and potato curry,chatni..yoghurt)..you can add fish ..egg or chicken with it...the food tasted good ..we had chapatis and chilli chicken for dinner. The alarming thing is their calousness in handling food..the chowmein contained egg chicken..and Hair and plastic bits as ingredients.. The staff were co -operative..over all the property nreds to be maintained properly..cleanliness and hygiene should be taken seriously..

    Nice location, nice people, behavior of the staffs are very good. Easiness of booking. Taste of foods are delicious. Good place to stay in Shantiniketan with family. nearest to Shonajhuri / khowai

    My recent stay at a Prokriti Bon Bungalow was a blissful escape. The traditional charm of the red brick architecture, combined with modern comforts, created a serene haven. The spacious rooms, well-equipped kitchen, and friendly staff ensured a hassle-free stay. The bungalow's location near cultural attractions made exploring Shantiniketan a breeze. Dining under the stars in the courtyard, savoring Bengali cuisine, was a highlight. The beautiful garden provided a peaceful retreat. In summary, this bungalow is a delightful blend of culture and comfort, perfect for a rejuvenating getaway in Shantiniketan.

    One of the best resort in shantiniketan. Really loved the place. Excellent food and well maintained property.

  • 5/5 Suman D. 1 year ago on Google
    . The author says "I am fascinated by you". We saw it in reality. It was planned to come to Santiniketan suddenly. I was already looking at all the hotel admissions, then after looking at the Google ratings, "prokriti bon banglo" came into view. I liked seeing the pictures so I booked it without delay. But when I came here, the moments I experienced are not found in five star hotels of the world. The surrounding silence will take you to another world. So many trees around and the sound of insects chirping at night will remind you of nature. Room arrengement outstanding and the staff behaviour so good. Since now this my one of febarate places now

  • 5/5 Ranjan B. 1 year ago on Google
    I think 1st of all, the entire team is doing a good job. They r very helpful and supportive. This property is very much safe and comfortable for every one including single lady traveler. … Basically Shantiniketan have the essence of Tagore in every corner and Prokriti Bon Bunglow makes my stay in a such a manner that is beyond my expectation. The ambience of this property is awesome having variety of trees as well as close proximity to the Sonajhuri hat. Thank u for making my stay so beautiful ❤️

  • 4/5 Joy M. 7 months ago on Google
    Very good natural environment and I want to mention some inovative ideas for their gardening.

  • 1/5 Isita S. 1 year ago on Google
    Outside decorations are good and well maintained.. that's it.. rooms are little shabby.. and too much mosquitoes.. tv was old.. and only 2-3channels were available ..manager was not helpful at all.. only a boy called Manojit was trying to give his best ..

  • 5/5 Purnima S. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent property.. Really loved my stay there in the lap of the nature...very polite staff and food is also good. Best hotel in shantiniketan for nature lovers. Thank you guys for make our stay so special. Keep it up the good work.

  • 4/5 Ashish R. 1 year ago on Google
    Location and ambience wise it would be a good choice. Services and foods are also commendable. But lack of maintenance can be seen. Room's amenities could be better.

  • 2/5 amrita s. 1 year ago on Google
    it is a peace of heaven on earth. The manager of the place is a thief who manipulates the bill and looted us if nearly 2500 rupees INR. There were lot of manipulation in the bills. One such example we ordered 2 plate of mutton and he gave us two and later billed us for 2.5. no way to refute later right.

  • 4/5 somnath s. 1 year ago on Google
    We were here for 3 days.. friends and family.. the stay here was ok.. the food is excellent.. we had 2-3 helpings of each dish.. the staff here are are very friendly.. look for Abhijit or Mandip who will help you in anything you need.. the rooms here are named after various flowers. You can walk through lots of floras and faunas to the Sonajhuri hat and if you follow the dirt road you will also be able to mix or see the local village life..

  • 5/5 Aritra H. 1 year ago on Google
    A good place with all amenities, staffs are so good and well behaved and well mannered. If you are going for 1/2 days this is the best place for chilling out and it's near to kopai. Food quality and quantity is also good. Please visit this place, this is the best place to live. Adios

  • 1/5 Raya Dey S. 1 year ago on Google
    I wanted to give negative rating here if Google allows. Worst experience ever. Location wise not good at all. Room quality is poor. Tap is not working in washroom. I would suggest to book other properties, unless anybody wants to ruin their mood during their vacation time.

  • 4/5 Shaisab Das G. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice place to be in. You can sit in the resort the entire day if you want to and you will still enjoy. The service is really nice. The rooms are ok. The food is also ok. It is located at a very nice place i.e. in the main locality

  • 1/5 SUSHOBHAN D. 1 year ago on Google
    Fraud manager. Asked for a partial refund or change of date of journey as the planned date was changed. But straightly refused to return money or change the booking date. Looting machine. Not cooperative. Before taking money he will be very polite and nice but after money is sent he will not even give you any confirmation slip. Rude behaviour.

  • 4/5 Soumen K. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent homely ambience situated within the heart of mother nature. Certainly it doesn't have multi cuisine facility but here you could get a different hemisphere of living along with nature. Yeah it's true that it couldn't provide you lots of so called amenities but spending here is a lifetime experience and you have to come back here repeatedly.

  • 5/5 012_ Amlan D. 1 year ago on Google
    The place is filled with greenery and peace..the backdoor opens to the 'shonajhuri haat'. Crew members are very polite and helping..it was a pleasure to be there..

  • 3/5 Suman B. 1 year ago on Google
    Food quality and room size is not ok. Gardening of the resort is very nice and clean.

  • 5/5 Subhra S. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice view of forest. Good hospitality and food is also good. Highly recommend for the nature lovers.

  • 4/5 Sanchoy R. 2 years ago on Google
    Property is an island in an ocean of green. Perfect for a peaceful, idyllic stay. The staff is very cordial and helpful. Food is homely and tasty. Ample parking space. Some areas of improvement: 1) in-room amenities 2) adequate staffing 3) Food pricing and waiting time 4) Overall management

  • 4/5 angshuman b. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent location, the back door opens to Sonajhuri, the Saturday hut is 10 mnts walk, the accommodation is budget and not much to write home about. But the location is one of the best.

  • 2/5 Moinak M. 2 years ago on Google
    The room is not worth rent i.e 1792/- . Food is costly and very limited option available .( Better to take food outside ). Only advantage is it's located near sonajuri forest . Overall experiance is ok but not worth spending .

  • 3/5 Anindya D. 2 years ago on Google
    USP - location. Back door opens into Sonajhuri forest, so the Saturday haat is 10mins walking distance. From outside, well decorated and maintained. Rooms are ok but furnitures are old. In the era of LED TV, we got CRT TV in our booked room (room no 1&2). Tariff- a bit high. Food- there is a in-house resturant. Overprice. Food quality- below average. No salt at all. Quantity of per plate rice is so less (it can feed a 10 year old, not for adults (28yrs) like us.) Extra rice is chargeable (that hurt us the most). Check in and check out time is very strict (no time concession). Even rooms were vacant but only allowed to check in early if agreed to check out early. (No customer satisfaction) Receptionist- below average response and behaviour.
