We visited horizon 360 from 15 th to 17 th October 2021. Visiting Mahabelshwar during October heat is must for all Mumbaikars . As far as property is concerned let me put some pros and cons 1. Location : peaceful and near to venna Lake . 5 bedroom of decent size . 3 opens in backyard garden and 2 on first floor. Furniture needs redo in bedroom .cupboards are old . Bathroom fittings needs redo . It's definitely not the standards what paid 2. Food : since we were with kids we didnt had any outside food . chef vishwajit kadam did great job. We tried all dishes right from mutton preparations to chinese . The stuffed paratha in brakfast is must have. 3 . Indoor games : we disappointed as no Table tennis or carrom or snooker . SS should provide them on priority Overall we had good time . We were 13 members with kids and a pet dog . All the best to Mahesh and team .

Caretaker is superb & food is very homely & the chef knows his job well ! Where the house lack is overall openness & garden area. We were confined to the living hall & balcony on first floor with virtually no pleasure of garden sit out as it was small...no gazebo to take cover in rains. Overall stay was fine just becoz of the caretaker/ chef, overall weather in Mahabaleshwar but won't rate the property very high.

The property is at a great location. Very close to the lake, market, and yet very quiet. The food was amazing. The staff is good natured but needs to be told what to do with regards to cleaning. They don't clean everyday. Also all bathrooms have a leakage issue. Towels need to be of better quality.

Our stay at horizon 360 was very nice and blissful. The care takers were nice and gentle and made us feel extremely comfortable. The chef Mr Dulal made good tasty dinner for us too. We just faced water clogging in one of the rooms out of 5 but even that was fixed the next day! So overall it was a very fine stay with an amazing view!
