We stayed at this homestay in June and had a very disappointing experience. The weather was extremely hot during our visit. We had booked two rooms, the rooms were not clean, there were no fans. We requested a stand fan, but the staff were not cooperative and kept giving excuses instead of helping us. Their behavior towards guests was disrespectful, which is completely unacceptable.
The food quality was also below average. Considering the amount they charge, we expected much better hospitality and service, but unfortunately, it was very poor.
Overall, I would not recommend Silent Valley Homestay. There are many better options available around Kolakham that offer much better service and hospitality.
Amazing views right from the room and perfect if trying to escape the crowds. Just wish the room had been a bit cleaner, but otherwise a really great stay.
Pls come and enjoy your trip
Garbage food , bad services, room full of insects
Masterpiece room , great food and services
The location was very good
But facilities and room
Were very bad and disgusting
Absolutely not recommended
Barely slept the night due to bad facilities
Don’t go for it
Rooms and washrooms not at all clean or managed
It felt like a cheap road side motel. Not very clean and no privacy. Don't take your family there, specifically parents or elders.
Good
Very nice hotel and very nice food in the staffs are also very good and extremely nice behaviour
Our stay at this homestay during our trip was truly wonderful. The place is peaceful, clean, and surrounded by beautiful nature which made the experience even more special. The rooms were comfortable and well maintained, and the view from the property was amazing.
The hosts were extremely warm, friendly, and helpful, making us feel completely at home. The homemade food was delicious and added a very authentic touch to the stay.
Overall, it was a relaxing and memorable experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a quiet and cozy stay close to nature. 🌿🏔️

Kolakham New Silent Valley Homestay.
Loved the experience and food
A good homestay.
Their behaviour is too good 💯
The silent village of kolakham is just ossum the best place to cure the self u will hear a lot of birds er chirps and a lot varity of insects , we enjoyed the place more because of the host's hospitality, they cooled very well , I did over eating , the rooms are quiet spacious and you get balcony that gives you a great view of pine and other trees ... it's a forested area if you are lucky you get to see red pandas
Kanchanjunga view from bed, Changey water fall 2 km from homestay, share car available to reach kalimpong.
Kolakham Silent Valley Homestay is located about 2km away from Kolakham village deep within the Himalayan forest. The location itself offers a sense of peace and tranquility. The forest surrounding Kolakham has 256 species of birds, insects and other animals. It is also located at a walkable distance from Changey Waterfalls. This homestay offers a perfect place for stay for photographers offering chances of landscape, astro, bird, nature and macro photography. The rooms have basic amenities like beds, geyser, table, chairs and a great balcony view of the entire valley, Sikkim and Kunchenjunga. The inly downside is the rooms are a bit tightly spaced and the bathroom can sometimes become a bit stuffy due to the absence of windows. The service was top class and the hosts were very kind and welcoming. A special shoutout to Sasita Gurung who took extremely good care of us for the 2 nights we spent there. The food was simple and hommade and also very tasty and in sufficient quantity. There are also 3 pet dogs and 2 cats which provide great company to guests. I personally took them with me on the forest walks and it provided a sense of security. Overall it was a fantastic experience and it is truly worth visiting again.
Excellent room and food, astonishing view of valley from your bed. To spent a leisure time with your family or dear one, best place to choose. Will definately come again.
Very good ambience and good service.
