It's the best homestay in the Darjeeling i think !! I must recommend this homestay. It's owner ( Sonam jigmee) is such a sweet and kind hearted person I have ever seen u will feel like a home there . You can easily communicate without any hesitation he is very friendly and welcoming 🙏 . I told him that me and my family will reach his homestay by 1 noon but we got extremely late and reached there on 7 pm evening he kept faith on us waited for us for the whole day !!💫

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Karsa Retreat. The rooms were spotless and cozy..plus the owner/ caretaker (Mr. Sonam) went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable, from serving delicious home cooked Nepali/ Tibetan meals. If you want an authentic Darjeeling experience away from the crowded hotels, this is the place to be! Exact Location- Darjeeling, Jorebunglow, Near Tiger Hill

It was an amazing stay at Karsa Retreat from 26-29/12/25. Sonam and Aunty treated us as a part of their family and especially while leaving gifted us Darjeeling tea, that’s a very good gesture for promoting tourism at their property!!!! Don’t miss the trek walk from Jorebunglow more to Darjeeling Mall through picturesque villages, hills and forests!!!! We were overwhelmed with the local food, offered at the property!

Warm Hosts. Aswam homely food. Nice view from rooftop. Watching the sunset while sipping a hot cup of tea while chit chatting with host Sonam is worth sipping.

Mera stay yaha bohot hi yaadgar raha. Room aur bathroom ki cleanliness perfect thi, sab kuch itna neat and comfortable tha ki bilkul ghar jaisa feel hua. Location calm aur convenient thi, aur sabse khas baat – yaha ke log. Unki warmth, care aur friendly nature ne mera dil jeet liya. Bilkul ghar jaisa feeling aayi. Terrace se view simply awesome hai, aur agar aap humari tarah lucky rahe toh aapko khud Kanchanjanga ke breathtaking darshan bhi milenge. 🌄 Phir se bolungi, yaha ke host Sonam Bhai and aunty bohot hi friendly aur helpful hain. Unke positive nature ki wajah se pura stay aur bhi special ban gaya. Sonam Bhai, you are just awesome and I am definitely going to miss this stay at your place. 💛 Agar aap ek aisi jagah dhoond rahe ho jaha comfort ke saath dil ka sukoon bhi mile, toh ye homestay definitely best choice hai!"
