Recommendations for hotels or guesthouses in Pondicherry

Hey Pagal

There was a similar one recently about a weird request for a circuit and tour operator in Rajasthan where VF (yes, him himself 😄) came to promote an agency. However, my long, detailed response was left unanswered—obviously, that wasn’t what was expected 😅 Is this the new VF vibe?

Unfortunately, yes, this is the new VF vibe A recent post where I criticized the practices of an agency endorsed by VF was deleted. Meanwhile, the ad for the agency stayed up. As Xiongmao said, we’ve got to stay sharp!

Hello,

Hello/Good evening Any hotel or guesthouse you’d recommend in Pondicherry? Arriving on October 5th for up to 15 days

Hi, I can get you a private house, a 20-minute walk from the sea. Two air-conditioned bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom on the first floor, a terrace, one air-conditioned bedroom with a bathroom, a kitchen, and a large living room on the ground floor. Let me know if you’d like more details. What’s your budget? Thanks

No ads for your guesthouse!!!! Anyway, the thread starter never came back. And as I suspected from the start, it was a hoax. https://voyageforum.com/membres/guerlain1965 Unless it was you who started this discussion, just to drop your ad later while playing innocent?

I think you’re absolutely right. What’s more, the description of the accommodation reminds me of those some unscrupulous expats for professional reasons don’t hesitate to illegally rent out or sublet—even though the cost of said accommodation, usually comfortable, is fully covered (including additional fees) by the foreign company that sent them abroad.
