    Owners behavior is friendly and helpful. amenities and services are good, I was stayed in family room which was quite enough spacious, neat and clean, hygienic including washroom also. but only one thing disappointing that location is average and far from mall road but nearby zoo. overall good experience and recommend for stay as a budget friendly home stay.

    **5/5 – A Wonderful Stay with Warm Hospitality!** I had an amazing experience at **Riva Homestay in Darjeeling**. The hosts were incredibly warm, welcoming, and always ready to help. The rooms were clean, cozy, and offered beautiful views of the surrounding hills. What really stood out was the peaceful, homely atmosphere. The location is quiet and relaxing, yet conveniently close to the main attractions in Darjeeling. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a comfortable and authentic stay. I’ll definitely be coming back! Let me know if you’d like to personalize it further!

    ashok k.family with 2 kids

    रीवाहोमस्टे मे ना खाने की सुविधा है ना गाड़ी की सुविधा है,लाइट गोल हो जाने पर पानी भी नहीं मिलता मार्केट बहुत दूर है सबसे बड़ा नेगेटिव पॉइंट 7:30 बजे ही मेन गेट का गेट बंद कर देते है आपको यदि बाहर जाना है तो इन्हे बार बार कॉल करना पड़ता है l परेशानी बहुत है l कृपया मोल रोड या रेल्वेस्टेशन के पास ही होमस्टे ले या होटल l

    The room was clean but it is far from the mall road. The vegetarian restaurant attached is very good, after 5 pm you will have to order from outside. Overall it is an average room.

    Food and location is good enough. Though for facilities, the blanket and rooms were smelly and allergy inducing. Rooms are smaller than they look on the mmt website.
