We stayed, a family of 4 with another family of 4, for 3 nights with the wonderful hosts of Windchimes. Meals were great, hospitality excellent. Close to ceter of Darjeeling, and train station. View is amazing.

This is truly one of the best Homestay in Darjeeling , not only for view of whole Darjeeling from terrace , rather it’s for their hospitality. It’s true to the name ‘home’stay !! We visited in month of April 25 . We were 6 people along with our little baby girl . Host is more than awesome . They treated us as their own family. Food is super delicious blend with authenticity of Darjelling . Most recommended home stay in Darjeeling

This is a good value real homestay in Darjeeling. It's a 10 minute walk to Mall Road. The best thing about the homestay is the home-cooked food. Every day for a week, we had a different array of vegan dishes. Each was delicious. The homestay is hard to find. Make sure Alowkik comes and gets you the first time. After that, it's fine. Alowkik was always there to help out and give advice. For example, he arranged a taxi to go to Tiger Hill viewpoint at 4am. I was lucky enough to see a beautiful sunrise and Kanchenjunga coming to life 😊
