    Excellent Stay

    Rated 5.0 by Anmol Sagar . Couple Traveller . Jul 01, 2024

    It was a great experience to be there. It's very quiet there, away from the crowded streets of mcllo. Beautiful view from of the dhauladhar straight from your window. Staff is so good and very cooperative. I'll highly recommend this place.

    Good Stay

    Bit far from main market. It is difficult climbing for senior citizens. Food is average. Hospitality is good. Host arranged taxi for local trips.

    I really appreciate the simplicity of the hotel and their staff. Rooms are really tidy, spacious. washrooms are clean What else do you need! Food is pretty good specially chicken curry Hotel staff is very responsible and professional with their work. They got very polite and kind approach are available all the time.In an instant you will get what you want what you need is just a text.I think booking this homestay on my first solo trip was my best decision. Further the view from the balcony is awesome You can literally see the snow capped mountains from here. I will recommend people who love simplicity and home like experience should come and enjoy here. Thanks a lot for the pleasant experience..

    Great view, great owner!

    Rated 4.0 by Amir Ben Ari . Solo Traveller . May 11, 2024

    The room and the place has an amazing view. The room is very comfortable, house owner very nice and very helpful! the only downside is there are a lot of steps to walk to go to the main road.

    Excellent Stay

    Rated 5.0 by Alok Kushwaha . Dec 27, 2023

    I stayed there for 24 hours and the host was very polite and friendly. After reaching there she came to our taxi and she greeted us very warmly and that was so heart warming and she also picked our bag and directed to our room and after going there she asked for tea and we were not in the mood of drinking tea so we denied. If i talk about my view from hotel so it was so beautiful. Perfect sunrise view and sunset view from room itself. One can easily see dhauladhar range from the room and the room was so warm the blankets were near and clean. Highly recommended

    Rated 5.0 by Harshal Wankhede . Couple Traveller . Nov 29, 2023

    If you prefer to stay in a homely place away from crowded street go for this place. The location of the homestay is very beautiful, close to dalai lama monestry, and it's away from crowded market. The view from room is just beautiful and pleasent. This is actually a homestay, the caretaker family lives on the ground floor. Feels very homely, rooms are big. The food and breakfast served here is just the best i had on my 6 days himachal trip. On the flipside if you expect a very lavish and luxurious stay better go for an expense hotel. Overall for this budget: food 5/5 wifi room and view was good and clean. Hosts are very good.

    The best homestay

    Rated 5.0 by Varnika Dogra . Family Traveller . Oct 04, 2023

    Words are less to describe the wonderful hospitality and the stay, neat and tidy with a spacious room with full privacy, home made food, and was a homely stay, should always encourage these type of stays with reasonable price and best-est services

    Beautiful room and company

    Rated 3.0 by Anterpreet kaur . Family Traveller . Mar 27, 2023

    Room was as expected with a spectacular veiw and clean bathroom with geyser, carpeted room with balcony with a view. Yeah roads are little mud but that's normal in hill stations. We have trek uphill 20 mins to reach main circle. And its easy to reach back but you can't do that in dark. I was bitten by the dog when we were going back to the homestay in the dark and it was the only experience which was bad at the property. Though the hostess tried to found the vaccine near by but couldn't we went to govt. Hosp in dharma shala. Other than that it was a good experience, hostess is really sweet and so as her family. Yeah that dog should be rescued immediately. As we found that dog next day at the same place but she has complained to the rescuers let's hope the situation resolves soon

    Worst approach road

    Rated 1.0 by Animikh Chaudhury . Family Traveller . Oct 19, 2022

    I would recommend others not to book this home stay. The approach road of the home stay is in pathetic condition. Boalders and mud everywhere. Car cannot reach to homestay. U have to pull your luggage for last 200 meters. There is no light after dark. High chance that you will not find your way back to home stay after evening. Also the homestay is outside the main city. It takes 20-30 minutes to reach the mcloyedganj market by walk. I would say this homestay is not value for money. I heard lot of tourist has gone back after looking into pathetic road condition. Just waste of money. Be careful.

    Terrible Stay

    Rated 1.0 by Dr RAJIB GHOSH . Jun 05, 2022

    Terrible experience, very poor condition of the room, washroom and the entire house. Even the approach road is also terrible, muddy road in terrible condition. Car can't go upto the house. I left the homestay immediately after entering there. I didn't even check-in.

    The host is amazing and the care takers, mr. Sanju and mr. Abhishek took good care of us. I would recommend this place if you are in mcleod ganj. It is away from the hustle bustle of market place, yet not too far

    Decent place to stay🙂

    Rated 4.0 by Akhil Dhariwal . Mar 05, 2022

    we have found it difficult to locate the property. The pet dogs are not properly cleaned. The room should have more amenities like tea & coffee maker and TV to watch. Secondly, the approach is not pretty good.

    You have chosen to stay in a budget property. The room rate we get does not allow us to afford a tea/coffee maker in each room, although there's an electric kettle in every room. Tv is there in common area. Pet dogs are cleaned and taken care of. They are family members. Once you... Read more

    The property was so amazing. We have met with the owner who was very helpful. They served good food for us. Rooms were comfortable and spacious. Sanitation and facilities were as expected. Location was convenient to reach. It is a recommendable property indeed.
