We had the worst experience when we visited the homestay on Saturday. Room was very dirty, geyser was not working, very dirty bathroom, so many insects inside the rooms and worst of the worst hospitality. I went with my family to relax and have a good time but ended up having one of the worst experience. I wouldn't recommend this homestay to anyone.

This homestay is a Big ‘NO’….We made a wrong choice by choosing Donbo inn…. Pathetic homestay…. The rooms were very dirty….When asked to clean nobody took the initiative… Flush wasn’t working….Geyser wasn’t working…… We had high hopes…. But guys plz think 100 times before choosing this homestay….

The place is quite off-beat, you have to go a long way from the main town, but it's quite quiet. The main attraction here was the swimming pool where you can have a good time with friends and family and we did the rest. The owner and staff were very nice and helpful.

My first mountain experience was awesome. The Homestay was so amazing, our attic room was beautiful and the view from the room was breath taking. The hospitality, food and behaviour was so good that I would love to visit again. Thank You so much for making my first mountain trip so memorable. 🫶🏻💓🥰

This homestay is located at very nice location of hill steps and the most attracting thing is it's swimming pool at hills. The entire property is surrounded by varieties of flowers and vegetables. They have their own organic farming from which they cook their food for the guests. In the evening it's a beautiful environment when you seat in the garden area with the glimpse of Kalimpong town on the opposite side hill. The view is just like a diamond necklace.
