Very much bad experience we had. Their service is very poor, food was moderate, rooms are not well maintained,not recommended at all. Rooms are looking good only from out sides

Before booking with Happy Journey Happy Homes, they gave us a lot of assurance that the tour would be memorable. This trip was very important to us, but we never imagined it would turn into such a horrible experience. Calling their service “bad” is actually an understatement. The property at Tukdah was still acceptable, but after reaching Sittong, we were completely disappointed. They clearly promised us a deluxe room with a view, but the room they provided had no view at all—only bamboo trees. This is nothing but misleading customers and running a dishonest business. Tour operators should not cheat people like this. I would strongly request anyone like me who is planning a trip and thinking of contacting a tour operator to verify all their claims properly before booking. Please don’t blindly trust their words. I sincerely hope that no one else has to face such an experience or get trapped by such misleading practices like those of Happy Journey Happy Homes.

Very nice homestay, lots of space in front, a small pond with fish in it, the staff is very friendly, and most importantly, the food is very good.

Service is very poor. Room conditions are horrible. Food quality is okay....the dining space is open exposed to cold weather...no arrangement of room warming.

First of all it was a great experience staying here. The rooms were spacious and the food and staff behaviour were excellent. Very much recommended for those who want a peaceful vacation. Also the location is very close to Ahaldara view point and has its own orange garden
