Our stay at Kanchanview Homestay in Darjeeling was truly unforgettable. We reached on the 24th May during a time of massive traffic congestion and continuous heavy rain across Darjeeling. In spite of all these challenges, the warmth, care, and cooperation we received from the owner, caretaker, and staff made our trip absolutely wonderful. On the first day, because of the terrible traffic, the entire town almost came to a standstill and we couldn’t explore much. The next morning, even when getting a cab seemed nearly impossible, the caretaker personally helped us arrange one so that we could visit the zoo and nearby attractions. That level of support and hospitality genuinely touched us. The location of the homestay is slightly away from the Mall area, but honestly, that became its biggest advantage. The peaceful atmosphere and breathtaking terrace view are simply magical. From the terrace, you can see the toy train passing, the majestic Kanchenjunga, beautiful pine forests, and a panoramic view of the entire city. Waking up to those views every morning felt surreal. The food was delicious, the ambience was cozy and peaceful, and every member of the staff treated us like family. We stayed for three days, and despite the rain and difficult weather conditions, we enjoyed every single moment here. My 3-year-old child enjoyed the stay the most, which made the experience even more special for us as parents. The homestay also has its own parking and garage area, making loading and unloading luggage extremely convenient — a huge advantage on hillkart road. A heartfelt thank you to the entire Kanchanview Homestay team for making our trip so memorable. This place is not just a stay; it’s an experience filled with warmth, comfort, and unforgettable views. Highly, highly recommended for anyone visiting Darjeeling!

Beautiful views from inside the rooms. We could see the toy train passing occasionally, watched the clouds descend from the hills, and enjoyed the view of the majestic mountains. Their chicken, pork, and egg dishes are a must try! The staff here is also friendly and welcoming.

### A Dreamy Family Retreat: Kanchanview Homestay My wife, daughter, and I spent the *first week of April* at *Kanchanview Homestay*, and it was easily the highlight of our Darjeeling trip. From the moment we arrived, we felt the genuine warmth of mountain hospitality. ### Why We Highly Recommend It: * *Cozy & Comfortable:* The rooms are incredibly snug—perfect for the chilly Darjeeling evenings. They were clean, well-maintained, and provided the exact "home away from home" vibe we were looking for as a family. * *Exceptional Staff:* The team is very cooperative and attentive. Whether it was helping with our luggage or ensuring my daughter was comfortable, they handled everything with a smile. * *Delicious Home-Cooked Food:* The food was consistently tasty. It’s rare to find a place where every meal feels fresh, healthy, and flavorful, but they managed to nail it every single time. ### The Best Part: The View The absolute showstopper of this property is the *terrace located right near our room. We didn't have to travel to a viewpoint or wake up hours early to beat the crowds; we simply stepped out onto the terrace to see the majestic **Kanchenjunga* in all its glory. Witnessing the sunrise over the peaks from right outside our door was a magical experience for the whole family. ### Final Verdict If you are traveling with family and want a peaceful, friendly place with the best views in Darjeeling, look no further. We left with full hearts and great memories. Thank you, Kanchanview Homestay, for a wonderful stay! > *Tip:* If you’re visiting in April/May, the clear morning skies from the terrace are absolutely worth the early wake-up call!

Very unhappy with the service. Rooms are not properly cleaned,dustibs were not cleaned, used bed sheets are given, proper water is not coming in the bathrooms. The TV remote is not working, one pillow is given for each room, dirty blankets are provided. This is not possible we will go and ask for everything. 👎🏻

My stay at Kanchanview Homestay in Darjeeling was absolutely delightful and truly memorable. If you're looking for an authentic, peaceful, and heartwarming experience away from the bustling town center, this is the perfect spot. Warm Hospitality: The true essence of Kanchanview Homestay lies in its exceptional hospitality. The host family is incredibly warm, friendly, and caring. They made me feel less like a guest and more like a part of their own family. Their personalized attention and genuine kindness ensured a very comfortable stay. Comfort and Facilities: The rooms were clean, cozy, and well-maintained, equipped with all the basic necessities, including hot water and comfortable bedding. It was exactly what one needs after a day of exploring the hills. ​Delicious Food: The home-cooked meals were fresh, delicious, and a wonderful taste of local flavours. Dining here was a treat in itself.
