Family Homestay Darjeeling

Nice balcony with views Friendly family who brought us hot tea everyday Food available on request About 10-15 walk into town

The rooms was quite small but for the price is was good.

They are very kind and helpful also the room was neat and clean

Nothing

The host were incredible, super nice communication. Easy plans. Nice bedroom and bathroom. The guest made teas for us every time we asked freely

There is no air recycling in the room. Thus, as the exterior temperatures are pretty cold, without opening the windows, the level humidity of the bedroom is easily super high. So the temperature feature is pretty cold in the room. As long as the guest didn't tell us the uphill taxi system, the location is downhill, so just to go to the main road it takes you almost 10-15 minutes of staircases

We have stayed 4 nights in Family Homestay and it was very nice. Bidur and his family are very kind and welcoming. Every morning, they brought us cups of tea (delicious!) in the room and that was very nice from them! The economic room is cosy, with also a desk and a kettle to boil water. Most of the time, wifi worked well. The bathroom is outside of the room but it was our own bathroom (private). We had towels and toilet paper. Everything was very tidy and clean. It's quiet most of the time (except when the dog are barking at night sometimes, or when the jeeps are passing in front of the house). The view from the rooftop is great. Bidur also suggested some places to see and visit. It's not in the center, but 20min walk downhill. You can also take a cab for 20/30 roupies to go back to the city and come back from there. The only one thing that was a bit difficult was the cold and the fact that the room was quite humid. But I think it's more related to the season and temperature at the moment (April) than the room in itself :)
