Amazing stay with outstanding hospitality and one of the best views in Darjeeling. Waking up to the beautiful mountains and valleys was truly unforgettable. The host made the experience even better with his warmth and care. Highly recommended!
We stayed at City Lights BNB Homestay (Loft) for 2 nights and 3 days, and the experience was truly amazing. From the moment we arrived, it didn’t feel like a homestay at all. It felt like we were staying at a relative’s home. The warmth, care, and hospitality made our trip even more memorable.
Sikher, our host, was incredibly welcoming and supportive throughout our stay. Due to some delays, we arrived late, but he kept checking in to make sure we were comfortable and didn’t face any issues. Once we reached, he patiently explained everything about the room and facilities.
The next morning, he prepared a delicious breakfast. The best part was that we could choose what we wanted, and he would cook it like magic. He also guided us about places to visit, how to plan our trip, and shared helpful local insights. Since my wife and I had traveled with our bikes, he even helped us safely park them on the slope, which was very thoughtful.
The room was extremely clean and well-maintained, almost like new. All the facilities were available, along with a thoughtfully arranged snack tray. The bathroom was also fully equipped with all necessary amenities. Everything was comfortable and carefully arranged to make guests feel at home.
The location of the homestay is prime. Most tourist spots are within walking distance, which makes exploring very convenient. One of the best highlights is the stunning panoramic view of Darjeeling city and the mountain peaks. The view from the property is honestly one of the best you can experience in Darjeeling.

Sikher truly makes your stay twice as entertaining and memorable. With great food, amazing hospitality, and a breathtaking view, this is definitely a must-visit place in Darjeeling.
If I visit Darjeeling again, I will definitely stay here.
Thanks, Sikher, for everything, bro! Will miss the momos.
Good and positivite vibes from him and it's family member. Hospitality and behaviour is surprising for me at my expectation. Darjling peoples are very friendly and very honest.
Everyone wants to visit darjling and must be booked this hotel of loft type, this room is best for couples also family and friends. Really Good experience and memorial with sikhar ji. In future if when ever I chance to visit darjling I must book this hotel.
From here, every visit location of darjling is near about like- Darjling Zoo, Tenjing Rock, HMI, Mall Market, Mahakal Temple, and etc.
So I suggested to everyone must be book this hotel.
Overall my experience is very good as my expectation. Thank you .

We had an absolutely amazing stay! Our host, Sikhar, went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. He was incredibly welcoming and attentive always just a phone call away for anything we needed.
The room was spacious, spotless, and featured a stunning view that you could stare at all day. A pleasant surprise was the delicious breakfast Shikhar provided, even though I hadn't realized meals were included! The BBQ was the absolute highlight of the trip, Sikhar even went the extra mile to let my friends (who were staying elsewhere) join us, which made the evening special.
Pro Tip: Mall Road is within walking distance, but be prepared for the elevation! If you aren't used to steep terrain, it can be a bit of a workout.
I’ll definitely be staying here again and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone visiting!
I recently stayed at City Lights Airbnb in Darjeeling, and I have to say, it was an outstanding experience. From the moment I arrived, I felt at home. The rooms have beautiful views that make you feel like you're on top of the world, and every morning I woke up to the most peaceful, scenic sights.
A huge part of what made this stay so memorable was the host, Sikhar. He is incredibly warm, generous, and truly goes out of his way to make sure you have everything you need. You can tell he really cares about his guests and invests a lot of time and energy to get to know them, which made me feel really comfortable and welcomed.
One of the highlights of my stay was when Sikhar invited me to his recording studio. As a sound engineer and music enthusiast, he introduced me to some amazing Nepalese music. It was such a unique experience, and I never would have had the chance to discover this music without him.
Sikhar didn’t just show me around the city, he showed me the heart of Darjeeling. He made sure every part of my trip was unforgettable, and I honestly can’t wait to come back. Darjeeling has a special place in my heart now, all thanks to him.
If you're looking for an incredible place to stay with a host who truly makes your trip worth it, City Lights is the place to be. Highly recommend it.
