SHRI MAHAPRABHUJI BETHAK - LAKSHMANKUND - Hindu temple in Rameswaram - Ramanathapuram, India

We had booked 3 rooms for 2000 and for 1 day stay through yatradham. We had availed 24 check in/check out service facility as we had expected to reach early in morning. And we reached early morning at 7. Upon reaching though we had booked 3 rooms, we were given 2 rooms at that time and we were told that one room will become available at around 12 in afternoon. We managed with 2 rooms till 3 PM when we got the third room. Rooms were adequately clean and necessary facilities like 2 beds, a cupboard , attached toilet ND bathroom. Water heater was not working for 2 rooms but with weather conditions it was not required also. AC was there but was off either from central control or was not working. 2 persons per room was allowed and we were 9 people, so we had paid 300 extra for 3 extra beds. Next day morning around 7 , we went to return keys for 2 rooms which we had got early due to 24 hours checkout time policy. We found managers behaviour was bit unwelcoming and bit rude towards us from beginning. That time manager expected us to return keys for all 3 rooms despite the fact that the third room we got late and still there was time till afternoon 3 for us to checkout. Which we found to be unfair , we then communicated same and requested him to allow us till the third room check out time, but he appeared reluctant and hesitant to do so. Then , we we went ahead for site seeing and came back at around 11:30. We also tried to look for alternatives to this dharmshala to spend rest of the time just in worst case and we had bus booked at 5 in the evening. But unfortunately not many options we found for immediate short time spend in rameshwram , so we came back and requested if we could stay for little more time with extra Expense. Then the same manager told 1200 rupees for 3-4 extra hours which was very unfair and unjust. Despite proper communication and explaining the rights as per 24 hour stay checkout policy , the manager still was reluctant and not in agreement to give us our rightful stay till 3 PM for the third room. We had gone there with family of 9 members , and there were elderly and ill people in our family. We wanted to manage time till 3 and extra 2 hours we can spend outside roaming till we board our bus. But manager was not ready to allow us to stay till 3 which was our right for one room. So after some discussion with family and manager, he allowed 3 persons to stay till 3 in third room and other 6 family members had to vacate and we could not keep our luggage also in third room as manager did not allow us. This was very unfortunate incident with Dharmashala. We are 6 members wandering outside in afternoon hot sun with no clue where to go and what to do next. We being new to the place and not knowing much, it is an unpleasant experience till we board our bus. Hence, sharing review with outside world whoever is planning to come to remshwaram and looking for decent Stay. Please beware of such incidents and confirm everything beforehand to avoid similar experience we are having. I hope Mahaprabhuji bethak staff learns from this feedback and improves the services for their own good. Another short feedback i would like to share is yatradham org. From our experiences we found yatradham to be less reliable. For This case , we had got Booking confirmed at some other place and Then after 24 hours they changed our booking/shifted to this mahaprabhuji bethak. There were communication gaps from yatradham with us and also with mahaprabhuji bethak. What we were communicated and what they were communicated did not match. So be careful with yatradham also. I hope this feedback reaches to them also and hope they become transparent with both parties.

Not good experience.. Booked 3 rooms but they provided only two and third room after six hours.. There was no electricity in day time. and staff was rude.

The architecture is really good. A must visit place.

Small and beautiful temple located next to Laxman teertha.

One star is also more than enough...we booked 3 rooms ...2 rooms thay gave us on time of check in and 3rd one gave after 9 hours of check in...and next day they ask to check out 3 rooms together we request them to 3rd one we check out after 22 hours but they denied and ask for extra 1200 for one room and behavior of staff was very rude and non bearable..don't stay hear even if you haven't any option

Here just beside it, the staying facility is very good at a reasonable rate. We stayed here for a couple of nights, one should consider it while doing budget travelling.

Divine place booked with yatra Dham website ,initially by reading the reviews I was bit skeptical about the place,but after visiting i was satisfied with their hospitality and humbleness, mainly the reasonable price which we pay goes to charitable work and devotional activities. Suggestions plz change the lights in restrooms as it's very very dim

Very Blessed place well maintained Thanks to all Donors and also people staying there. Good to see Bethakji are well maintained then before
