Jungle Crown Organic Homestay

We had such a beautiful and special stay here. What touched us most was the warmth of the family who runs the homestay. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed and cared for. The food was absolutely delicious, homemade with so much love and attention. Every meal felt like a little gift and gave us a taste of Nepal that we will remember. But perhaps the most special thing about this place is the peace.

Such a great quiet place to relax and enjoy nature. Tasty food made from scratch and very reasonable prices. I enjoyed chatting with the owner! Such a beautiful family with 3 kids. Wishing you all the best! I ended up extending my stay. I would love to come back some day!

Paradise in the jungle. Such a lovely family. A wonderful break from busy Kathmandu

My friend and I booked two nights here as we were craving some time in nature. After seeing such high reviews, we were genuinely excited about our stay. I would like to begin by acknowledging that the people working there were extremely kind and welcoming. We felt warmly received, and the staff themselves were not the issue. The accommodation was basic but acceptable for the setting. However, upon arrival, there were people smoking inside the restaurant area. For a place presenting itself as an organic homestay focused on health and nature, this felt inconsistent and inappropriate. It was not the environment we expected. Unfortunately, our experience took a more serious turn with the food. Shortly after dinner on our first evening, we both began experiencing gastrointestinal distress. I also developed a rash with swelling around my lymph nodes. The following morning, we both woke feeling unusually heavy, dehydrated, and unwell — similar to a severe hangover without having consumed alcohol. Because of this, we decided to check out early, as we no longer felt comfortable continuing to eat the meals provided. The food is advertised as organic; however, we found it very heavy and oily. The “fresh” juice tasted processed, as though it may have come from a bottle rather than being freshly prepared. Several days later, we are both still feeling achy, heavy, and generally unwell. I am sharing this feedback not to criticize the staff personally — they were genuinely kind — but to raise concerns about hygiene standards, food preparation, and consistency with the retreat’s health-focused positioning. With more attention to these areas, the experience could better match the expectations created by the reviews and branding.
