Worst homestay experience — avoid at all costs Location: Average, the place has plenty of insects, mosquitoes, and even wild cats roaming around. Felt unsafe and unhygienic. Service & Food: No proper meal system. Food quality is extremely poor. For lunch/dinner we got just one small egg with a spoon of gravy — no extra portions, no vegetables. Tea comes late, around 8:30 AM, with no biscuits. Any feedback is met with arguments. They refuse to accept criticism. Staff Behavior: The owner, her elder sister, and their mother were very rude, arrogant, and disrespectful throughout the stay. Cleanliness & Maintenance: Rooms and bathrooms are not cleaned even once during the stay. No housekeeping. Combined with insects and mosquitoes, it was horrible. Overall: No hospitality, no cleanliness, no service, plus pest issues. This is the worst homestay I’ve experienced. Strongly recommend staying elsewhere.

The location is very good but there are a lot of issues with the hospitality. There were big problems with the timing for morning tea and afternoon lunch. Lunch would arrive around 2:15 or 2:20, which isn’t our usual meal time. Morning tea also came as late as 8:30. They don’t serve any biscuits with the tea, and even after we mentioned it, they still didn’t provide any—they just said “buy some from the shop” or things like that. The rooms are decent, but the cleaning isn’t proper. For example, I requested to clean the toilet after entering the bathroom. They only used a brush—no toilet cleaner was used at all. Even after I asked, they didn’t use any. Also, they didn’t provide hand wash even after we requested it. And another thing: we had already agreed to pay for extra tea when we took it. Despite that, the tea they served was really bad quality. Plus, they served it with a lot of irritation, saying things like “Wait, we’re busy right now.” So location-wise it’s very good, but I’ve already mentioned the problems with everything else.

It was a very homely stay. The homestay Owner Mrs. Nutan was very friendly and co-operative throughout my stay. Not money minded like others. Would love to visit again.
