mayuram homestay in hampi has its pros and cons. the location is fantastic—just a short walking distance from virupaksha temple, which is super convenient. the rooms were neat and clean, with hot water and blankets provided, making the stay comfortable. we also appreciated being allowed to check in an hour earlier than the usual time of 9:30 am. however, the experience was disrupted in the morning when there was no water, and the owner, mr ravi, was unreachable as his phone was switched off. we had to get help from a neighboring restaurant owner, who kindly turned on the motor switch for us. while the homestay’s location and cleanliness are definite positives, improved management and responsiveness are crucial for a smoother guest experience.
