Staying at Oikos Homestay in Middle Dabaipani was a truly wonderful experience! The hosts are incredibly welcoming and provide outstanding hospitality that makes you feel like you are staying with family. The home-cooked food was absolutely amazing-so delicious and made with love. The entire atmosphere is peaceful and offers a completely homely environment. I highly recommend this to anyone visiting the area!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

One of the best offbeat places in Darjeeling. And Oikos is the best homestay in the Mineral Spring Village . The host of this place is the best. He will guide you through the whole village. The food served to us was also very wholesome and tasty.

Within jungle, where peace and calm will be at a time together. A perfect property if you wish to isolated yourself from other part of the world. Ashish Rai, the owner of the property and his entire family is there to serve you any point of the day. Mouth watering food is fine, but the presentation of the food quite interesting. They have create a bowl with leaf and serve you food within. Overall within nature, parted from the world you can have the peaceful stay here.

The best part of Oikos Homestay is the cottage. It is one of the best I have seen in recent times. The view through the balcony is heavenly and the surrounding atmosphere is very very calm and peaceful. On clear weather you can see Himalayan ranges from the balcony itself. All day you can hear the buzzing of the nearby waterfall and it is very soothing. Everything here is a 10 on 10. The owner of the homestay is a very good man. He is very helpful and polite. Food quality is very good too.

The place is cozy, quiet, peaceful and serene. The warmth of the hosts are unmatched. Perfect for a staycation. The food is tasty and homely. If you stay there ask them to make momos for evening snacks and thank me later.

We stayed at Oikos Homestay, but overall the experience was not very good. We chose this place after watching a YouTube video, which looked very attractive because of good videography. However, the reality was quite different. The location of the homestay is very remote and the road condition is poor, which makes it difficult to reach. There are not many sightseeing places nearby. We did one local trek, but it mostly went through village areas and was not very exciting. The host and his family were polite but not very communicative. Overall, it was not value for money for us.
