    Thank you for your review! We’re glad you enjoyed our service, location, and pick-and-drop facilities. Being in Shimla’s hilly terrain, most homestays, including ours, are either uphill or downhill. While our homestay is not directly accessible by car, we provide pick-and-drop services along with luggage assistance to ensure your stay is as comfortable as possible. We look forward to welcoming you again!

    Thank you for your kind review! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay.However, we noticed you mentioned that our property is close to the airport. While we wish it were true, our property is not located near an airport. It’s possible this was mentioned in error, and we just wanted to clarify it for future guests.

    Perfect experience

    kanika c.family

    We booked a family suite for a family of 4, with 2 king beds. It was spacious, clean, and beautiful. It had two windows with quite a picturesque view. Breakfast and dinner were home-like. Loved the quality and quantity of the food. And above all, the hospitality was top-notch. No complaints regarding anything. Cabs to and from the mall road were included. Smooth pickups and drops.

    Excellent place to stay

    abhishek s.loyalty-iconfamily

    We stayed for 3 nights. It was one of the best experiences ever. The staff was great, and the view from the room was awesome. The free pickup and drop-off service (anytime) to mall road (which is just 5 mins by car) and the bus stand was very convenient. I booked this property after seeing the good reviews, and they were completely justified. I would rate everything 5/5.

    Great stay and service

    dhirendra n.loyalty-iconfamily

    Great hospitality and service. Location/Aporoach road is tough, but the trade off is well compensated by the humility and service mindset of the staff who is always willing to go an extra mile. Also, want to mention about the well-managed free pick up / drop to the mall road lift.
