The Five Pillars

Shelter

high confidence4.5 / 5
"Rooms are consistently praised as clean, well-maintained, comfortable, and hygienic; a guest noted lack of room heating can make rooms chilly in winter."

Water

low confidence3.8 / 5
"Few details provided; guests note hot water was provided when requested and hot drinking water was readily available, though one reviewer noted a slightly defective tap."

Hearth

high confidence4.9 / 5
"Exceptional hospitality from hosts Shivam and family; guests repeatedly commend delicious home-cooked meals (momos, chicken curry) and warm, caring service."

Path

medium confidence3.8 / 5
"Located 2.5 to 4 km from Mall Road/town towards Rock Garden, making hailed taxis difficult late at night, but the host actively mitigates this with free pick-up and drop-off services."

View

medium confidence4.7 / 5
"Reviews consistently highlight stunning mountain landscapes, clouds through the pine trees, and beautiful panoramic views right from the doorsteps and balconies."

Hi! I was in Darjeeling during the month of June for research. I stayed at the Yellow Moon Homestay for a month and I can safely say that this has been the best stay I’ve had in all my time of travelling. You’ll have to believe me because when you stay somewhere for a month, you get to see its true nature. I can assure you, this is it. Before I even arrived, I was being asked where I'd reached, and my dinner was also kept ready. So their hospitality starts before you even arrive. I don’t eat spicy food, so I informed the owners, Shivam Sir & Swikriti Maam, and then onwards they prepared all my meals according to my taste. The food tasted better than what I expected. I had both my meals, breakfast & dinner here. I could eat whatever I wanted, all I had to do was inform them a day before. All my meals were served on time. The rooms here are very cozy and comfortable. My room was cleaned regularly, and the bedsheet was also changed every 2 days. Hygiene was maintained throughout my stay. The bedcovers and blankets are of good quality and were very clean. The electricity and water was barely an issue here. I am habitual of using showers, and this homestay has a great shower system, with good water pressure. There is a washing machine that you can use if you’re staying for long, and it’s not expensive to use. The WiFi connection was very good, and rarely went out, considering the monsoons. I was a solo female traveller, and safety was not an issue here at all. Unlike the main city, this homestay has a peaceful atmosphere, not noisy. If you’re looking for an authentic homestay experience, choose Yellow Moon Homestay. This place will 100% not disappoint you. Additionally, they also offer vehicle renting services. I rented a scooty for 4 days, and didn’t have any issues at all. The pricing was affordable and scooty didn’t have any functional issues. Whatever you need, the owners are here to help you. All you have to do is ask. I’m a Yellow Moon Homestay Veteran, having stayed here for a month, I can confirm that the owners are dedicated to making your stay comfortable and worthwhile. Yellow Moon Homestay felt like a home away from home to me. I've stayed in many places, but this homestay sets the standard for what hospitality should be. I would highly recommend it without any hesitation to anyone who is looking for an authentic, comfortable, and memorable experience. Lastly, I personally want to thank the dearest owners, who I will always remember, Mrs Swikriti & Mr Shivam. Thank you for your hospitality. God Bless you! 🌙 🌻 Service: 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Atmosphere: 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Accommodation: 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Food: 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amenities: 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Value for Money: 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Booking & Convenience: 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Location: 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
