    I had a wonderful experience staying at this property in McLeodganj. The location was serene, offering beautiful views and a peaceful environment—perfect for a relaxing getaway. The property itself was clean, well-maintained, and had all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. What truly made my stay memorable was the host. The owner was extremely friendly, kind, and always ready to help with anything I needed. From local recommendations to ensuring my comfort, their warm hospitality really stood out and made me feel at home. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting McLeodganj. I’ll definitely be returning on my next trip!

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

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..

    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.

    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

    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.

    Beautiful room and company

    anterpreet k.family

    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
