visited the homestay on our way to kalimpong. was there with mom, brother, sil,driver,two pet dogs .The home stay is clean, spacious, and organized.Maria( host) was helpful. She is also a good cook . Although food at the home stay is pricey but it's delicious. Her karayla fry was yummy ,crispy& not at all bitter.Poonam(helping hand) was also there & she washed the dishes.alsways smiling, helpful & friendly. Pets allowed again nominal charge. We parked our car at their garage against a nominal charge for eight days - from Siliguri to kalimpong we used rented car because of the road conditions & local drivers are more comfortable/skillful for such roads.We stayed at this home stay for two days ie - to & fro - as such no issues with this place - little bit interior - it's silent, peaceful place but stay was during Diwali so pataka sound was there - suggestion black out curtains & not transparent/semi transparent curtains - privacy issues . the room /bathroom dividers/ threshold ( in bengali - we call it chowcut)was low so it was not an issue for me ( i have walking problem) Overall five rating because pros are more than cons .
