Recently, I visited Gangamaya Homestay with my brother, and we had an amazing experience. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the location was beautiful, and the service was excellent. The owner was incredibly kind and made us feel at home. Thank you so much, auntie, for your warm hospitality and kindness. Your family was very welcoming. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Darjeeling! ❤️

Had a wonderful stay here in Darjeeling. The view is beautiful, the place is family-friendly and great for kids. Aunty and Deepesh were very cooperative and always ready to help, even arranging medicines when needed. It felt more like staying with family than at a homestay. Transportation and market access were also convenient. Highly recommended! 😊🏔️

Darjeeling trip ke dauran hamara stay Gangamaya Homestay me bahut hi accha raha. Room saaf-suthre aur comfortable hai, aur sabse khaas baat Kanchenjunga ka sundar view dekhne ko mila. House owner bahut hi friendly aur helpful hai, jis wajah se hume ghar jaisa mehsoos ho rha hai. Khana bhi tasty aur homemade hai. Shant environment, acchi hospitality aur reasonable price ke saath yeh homestay family aur couples dono ke liye perfect hai. Darjeeling aane wale sabhi travellers ko main is jagah ki zarur recommendation karungi. Yaadein hamesha yaad rahengi! 😊🏔️✨

With our family of 5 (us + children of 11, 9 and 7) we stayed 4 night at Gangamaya. We liked the homestay a lot. The rooms were nice and clean. The view was great and host very welcoming and helpful. Location is slightly removed from the centre which we liked since it can get crowded with jeeps along the main road. Recommended!!

You should definitely give this a try. Dipesh and his mom are just wonderful hosts. The food isn't fancy but your gut and your soul will be very happy for it's nourishing and hygienic touch.

I had a very traumatic and unpleasant stay at gangamaya homestay On the night of 25th March 2026, someone tried to record us through the ventilation opening above our room door. The person appeared to be using a white iPhone (possibly iPhone 13 or 14). This was extremely disturbing and made us feel unsafe. When we informed the owner’s son, we found a phone that looked similar. However, the situation was handled very casually, and nothing serious came out of the questioning. During our stay, we were the only guests at the property, which made the situation even more concerning. This has been one of the most uncomfortable and frightening experiences I have ever had. I chose this place based on positive reviews and trusted the owner and their family, but unfortunately, it turned out to be a very distressing experience. While checking out, the owner also mentioned that a similar incident had happened about a year ago, which is even more alarming. I decided to check out early because I did not feel safe. I strongly advise others to be very careful before staying here.

I feel very lucky who found Gangamaya Home-stay which created a great experience to my visit in Darjeeling. The owner is incredibly kind with great generosity and care, making sure that you feel like home. Assisting with bus booking, tips and local experiences, and an over-all open and friendly approach. The food was simple yet tasty and made with care, checking that I was satisfied and making small changes to exceed expectations. The location is a bit further away from the main road which to me was great as it brought a calm and peaceful vibe, still with a walking distance. The view over the mountain and valley is stunning. The rooms are clean, tidy and well-maintained. The facilities have everything that is needed for a pleasent and comfortable stay. I highly recommend this home-stay!

The owners were really helpful and humble towards the guests. Though the location is a bit far from the mall, but it's a great escape from the crowd and Chaos. Good for travellers with two wheelers. The food was Homely and the ambience is good for a weekend get away.
