The Five Pillars

Shelter

medium confidence4.3 / 5
"Most guests describe the rooms as neat, clean, well-maintained, and comfortable, with particular praise for 1st-floor balcony corner rooms, though isolated complaints mentioned a bad smell or uncleaned bathroom."

Water

low confidence3.8 / 5
"Reviews note clean bathrooms generally, though one guest complained of dirty toilet amenities and another noted being overcharged for packaged drinking water. No explicit mentions of hot water geyser reliability."

Hearth

medium confidence4.4 / 5
"Guests consistently praise the warm host family, attentive service, and delicious home-cooked meals prepared with farm-fresh produce. However, multiple 1-star reviews cite severe booking and advance refund disputes."

Path

low confidence3.9 / 5
"Located in an offbeat rural area with a note mentioning minor off-roading for two-wheelers, but generally accessible."

View

medium confidence4.1 / 5
"Features peaceful surroundings with valley and village views; some rooms get river/valley views, though multiple guests clarify the river is a short 2-minute walk down rather than directly below all rooms."

Very Disappointing and Unprofessional Experience We had pre-booked a specific room and paid an advance of Rs 3,000. However, on arrival, we were informed that the room had been given to another tourist, apparently because we were late ( actually they received a better offer from a family who arrived with out booking), Instead of honouring our booking, we were asked to stay at a different homestay which was far away from the actual site. When we refused this proposal, the man in the picture along with his 'Vaiya' threatened us, we were asked to leave the premises, and our advance payment of Rs 3,000 was not returned. This experience was extremely disappointing and caused us significant inconvenience. I would advise future guests to confirm booking terms carefully and be cautious before paying an advance.

I have stayed at this homestay . The owner of this homestay : Mousam ji is a amazing person . The rooms are clean and tidy and the services are very prompt . One , who is looking for a peaceful vacation destination with delicious Bengali homely cuisines can definitely give it a try . The serene atmosphere near Joldhaka river makes it more attractive . I shall definitely visit this homestay , again .

Had a wonderful stay at Riverview Homestay. The location was peaceful with beautiful views, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The hosts were warm, helpful, and made us feel at home throughout the stay specially yadesh,he really has some good cooking skills and very Frank well behaved too,Foods and hospitality were excellent. A perfect place to relax away from the city rush. Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a calm and cozy getaway. Thank you for everything ❤️❤️🙏
