The best things about the homestay were obviously the authentic Nepali food, the owners, the garden, and the preserved artifacts. We really appreciate how much the owners cared about their guests and took extra effort to interact with them. At the very least, we would love to recommend Pakha Dhim as a must visit homestay.

This homestay felt more like a home to us. We had a very comfortable stay here. We stayed for four nights and honestly the food, service, everything was best. Special thanks to uncle and aunty for treating us so good. Thanks to chewang for reaching out everytime and being so responsible. Thank you again for making our stay very beautiful and comforting. Will surely visit again if we happen to come Namchi 💓

A true hidden gem in Namchi. This heritage homestay is run by a wonderfully warm family who made us feel like part of the household from the moment we arrived. The food was outstanding — homely, authentic, and full of flavor — and the family's stories about the region added so much depth to our stay. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an authentic Sikkim experience.

What a beautiful experience. The family running this place is so warm and literally always on their toes to help you out with anything. A part of the property is a 108-year-old heritage building which looks amazing, and they follow their traditional customs properly. They served us breakfast and lunch—totally hygienic, simple, home-cooked Sikkimese food. Most of the vegetables were picked fresh from their own garden, so it tasted super fresh and healthy (mostly boiled, local style). Plus, serving tea in those traditional Buddhist design cups and plates was such a nice touch. Highly recommended!"

Such a gem of a place in Namchi! The rooms are super clean and shiny, and the whole property feels brand new and well-maintained. The best part is the lawn out front where you can just sit, have tea, and look at the mountains. The family is incredibly sweet and treated us like their own. The home-cooked food was simple, delicious, and very hygienic. Will definitely come back here on my next Sikkim trip!"

Writing a detailed review because this place deserves it. The rooms are completely new, super well-organized, and spotless. Just one thing to keep in mind—the bathrooms are not attached to the rooms (there are 3 separate ones outside). But honestly, it wasn't an issue at all because they are brand new, fitted with advanced modern sets, and the geysers work perfectly with zero hot water issues. The host family is extremely sweet and welcoming. Lost one star just because it's slightly away from the main town center, but the peace and cleanliness easily make up for it."

Honestly, best decision to skip the main Namchi bazaar hotels and stay here. It's a bit far from the main market, but that’s exactly why it’s so peaceful and cozy. The vibe is like a small cottage with just 4-5 rooms, so you get total privacy—literally felt like my own room. The views from the property are incredible. Also, they have this beautiful front garden full of flowers and vegetables where you can just sit under the sky and clear your head with some hot tea. If you want a quiet, offbeat place to relax, just book this blindly."

My stay here became much more than just accommodation—it felt like being welcomed into a home. During my visit to Namchi, the family included me in their daily life and traditions, which made the experience truly special. I had the opportunity to accompany them to a Buddhist teaching center for morning prayers and later visit a monastery where the community was preparing for an upcoming celebration. Being able to participate, even in a small way, gave me a genuine sense of connection and belonging. The warmth, kindness, and generosity of the hosts allowed me to experience the place not as a tourist, but as someone welcomed into their home and heart. I’m deeply grateful for the memories and peaceful moments this stay gave me.🙏🌿

Rooms are quite small but clean Food was the area where i suffered the most we 4 family members stayed there and Upon calling the host asked for the dinner Other three wanted nonveg and me being vegetarian they told we will prepare paneer for you. After we arrived and sat for dinner they did not keep the promise and not made the paneer rather a small infact a very small portion of mushroom onion and green chilli which i could not even eat because of that being very spicy. I confronted them about the same and they told we cant prepare seperate separate for different people. So if i am vegetarian should i not get a food to eat which they already promised over call. They charged 280 rs for a nonveg meal and 230 for a veg meal which was very expensive in terms of the quality and quantity they provided The next day during checkout the uncle there asked me "aap maas nahi khate?" sir i eat or not eat that's my problem , you not providing the things you promised doesn't depend on that. I suggest you can stay but avoid food you can zomato here
