⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jhandi Esti Kutum Homestay is one of those rare places that stays with you even after you leave. What made my stay truly special was the people. Subham da, the owner, was incredibly warm, welcoming, and thoughtful. He has a natural way of making guests feel comfortable and cared for. Shubhankar da and Sarojit da were equally wonderful — always helpful, polite, and ready to make sure everything was taken care of. Beyond the beautiful surroundings and peaceful atmosphere, it was the genuine warmth of these people that made the experience exceptional. Their hospitality never felt formal or forced; it felt like being welcomed by friends.the rooms were clean, hygienic , spacious with well reserved amenities.the evening was fantastic with the music karoke with the hosts. There are many places where you can simply spend a night, but very few where you leave with such a good feeling. Jhandi Esti Kutum farmstay was one of those experiences for me. A heartfelt thank you to Subham da, Shubhankar da, and Sarojit da for making my stay so comfortable, memorable, and special. I would love to come back again — not just for the place, but for the people. ❤️🌿⛰️

পাহাড়ের শান্ত পরিবেশে সুন্দর সময় কাটানোর জন্য একটি দুর্দান্ত জায়গা এই Esti Kutum Farm Stay! এখানকার সবচেয়ে বড় আকর্ষণ শুভম দা (Owner) এবং তাঁর টিমের অসাধারণ আতিথেয়তা। ওনাদের আন্তরিক ও সাহায্যকারী ব্যবহার আমাদের মুগ্ধ করেছে, মনেই হয়নি বাড়ির বাইরে আছি। জিভে জল আনা খাবার আর একরাশ আন্তরিকতা—সব মিলিয়ে এই ফার্ম স্টে-তে থাকার অভিজ্ঞতা আমরা কখনোই ভুলব না। আবার সবাইকে নিয়ে আসবো খুব ভালো লেগেছে। (Highly Recommended).

Unplanned but absolutely unforgettable! We ended up staying at Esti Kutum Farm Stay unexpectedly, and it turned out to be the absolute highlight of our trip. The location in Jhandi is serene and beautiful, but what truly makes this place special is the hospitality. The owner, Subham Da(Subham Poddar), is an incredible host—warm, welcoming, and always ready to help. A huge shoutout to the support staff, Subho and Surajit Da, who took amazing care of us. Their prompt service, smiling faces, and attention to detail made us feel right at home. If you are visiting Jhandi, this is the place to be. Highly recommended, and we will definitely be back!

ইষ্টিকুটুম হোমস্টেতে খুব ভালো লাগলো। এখানকার পরিবেশ বলতে একেক সময় একেক রকম কখনো রোদ,কখনো বৃষ্টি,কখনো মেঘ। আর এই হোমস্টের লোকেদের ব্যবহার খুব ভালো।
