We visited Zen Majestic Farmstay, Lebong near Darjeeling, in June 2025. The property is truly peaceful and located in an offbeat setting. The rooms are spacious and come with a common balcony. We enjoyed a fantastic valley view from the balcony, making the stay even more memorable.
Very fake intimation given to customers before booking. Very poor location, very risky and no security in the area for the customers. Toilets and bathrooms are full of insects and water are also dirty. It is very clear avoid and and reaching to this place.
The property itself is quite beautiful, but unfortunately the overall experience was disappointing. The location is very far from the main city, and the last stretch of nearly 5 km to reach the property is in terrible condition. The road is extremely narrow, hilly, and completely broken in parts, making it difficult and stressful to drive. Our car even overheated due to the lack of a proper road.
What made the experience worse was that the owner did not share any of this information at the time of booking. The access details were provided very late, which significantly impacted our plans and overall stay. Had we known about the condition of the approach road and the distance, we would have reconsidered our booking.
The property has potential, but better transparency and clearer communication about the location and accessibility are absolutely necessary.
Located in an offbeat location and a little away from Darjeeling. My relatives went there in May and they loved the place and location, rooms were very nice and big and spacious. All the rooms have a mountain view. The rooms had all the amenities required. Food and staff were also very nice.
The place is ideally suited for nature lovers who want to explore the tranquility and serenity of the hills surrounded by tea gardens.
Only drawback is that its away from the Darjeeling town and sometimes being an offbeat location there are power cuts. Otherwise a nice great outdoor place to spend time with nature.
Since I personally did not book our stay on AIRBNB I will add my review here.
This was by far the worst (Airbnb) experience my entire family has ever had.
We booked four rooms expecting a comfortable and memorable stay in Darjeeling, but were left incredibly disappointed and frustrated.
First of all, unlike most Airbnbs, this listing did not provide sufficient or clear information about how challenging it would be to access the property. While you may have mentioned an “easiest” route, it didn’t change the fact that the journey was long, extremely inconvenient, and completely unsuitable for families with seniors, toddlers, or children—like ours. The road closures, rough terrain, and ongoing construction made it nearly impossible to reach the farm stay without stress and exhaustion.
Yes, the view was beautiful, but it was not worth the time, energy, or money we spent getting there.
Had we known how difficult it would be to reach the property, we would have never booked four rooms or put our entire family through such trouble. To make matters worse, we had to leave the next morning, cutting our trip short and missing out on exploring Darjeeling altogether.
Traffic in Darjeeling is understandably not within your control, but the lack of upfront detail about the location’s accessibility is unacceptable. Even when we took an alternative route while leaving, it was still underdeveloped and poorly maintained.
If you’re a solo traveler who doesn’t mind a long, rough commute and only wants peace, quiet, and a sunrise view—this place might work for you. But for families or anyone hoping to explore Darjeeling with ease, this is not the place to stay.
Additionally, the rooms were not well maintained:
• Some had no drinking water or running water upon arrival
• Toilet paper, shampoo, and basic amenities were missing in some rooms
• Only certain rooms had slippers provided
• Cockroaches were found in the kitchen and rooms
• If you’re not comfortable with bugs or are sensitive to cleanliness, this is definitely not for you
Overall, this was a huge waste of time and money, especially with no option for a refund. I would not recommend this property to anyone traveling with family or looking for convenience and comfort.
