LIST YOUR HOMESTAY

Running a homestay — or dreaming of one?

Whether you already host guests or you're just getting started, we build websites for homestays across Darjeeling & Kalimpong and help you rank on Google and inside the Kanchen guide. Direct bookings, no OTA commissions, honest AI scoring.

Packages

You're buying a website, your Google presence, and an honest audit — never a place on the leaderboard. Rankings stay editorial and can't be bought.

Even one extra direct booking a month pays for your website within the year — and with WhatsApp bookings you keep every rupee, no OTA commission.

New homestay or well-known, 3 reviews or 300 — the goal is the same: get found on Google and take bookings directly on WhatsApp.

Founding-homestay rate: we're onboarding our first few homestays at a special rate. Mention it when you message us on WhatsApp.

What you own & how pricing works

  • You own your domain and your website. Registered in your name — no lock-in. Leave anytime and take it with you.
  • One-time means one-time. Starter Site and Get Found have no monthly or yearly fees from us.
  • The only ongoing cost is your domain renewal — about ₹1,000/year, paid by you directly to the registrar. Your first year is included.
  • Hosting is included at no ongoing cost to you.
  • Full Setup's ₹3,000/year is optional — only if you want us to manage the domain, hosting, and updates for you.
  • Never a fee to rank on Kanchen. Rankings come from real guest reviews and cannot be bought.
