    It was a great experience there in homestay, the host was very helpful, also the host can be provided with a rented bike and scooty so you do not have to search for it either(in case you do not have a private vehicle), looking forward to come again here, if you planning for Srinagar trip, you should definitely check it out, 💯 worth it

    I would say, the family was at times sweet and was also a bit blunt or a bit rude at times. I wish the rooms were warmer and more comfortable, there was an electric blanket it wasn’t accessible for the most part of it because of power cuts. Our electric blanket also caused a big spark while we were sleeping in the middle of the night, its a huge health hazard and a risk! We were asked to pay rs 50. For a dry towel, which seemed unnecessary. Heater was accessible only for an hour or two. We were told that hot water for drinking will be provided by them but when we asked for it, they questioned us why do we need it for and why do you need so much, etc. It wad located at an isolated space, travelling anywhere woukd be a bit inconvenient because all touristy spots are kilometres away.

    I liked the rooms and the cleanliness overall. And there was a cute cat around the property! John uncle seemed nice and sweet for the most part of our trip. Home made food was good.

    The rooms (both the dorm and the double rooms) have no wardrobes or storage area to keep your stuff. The first floor double room has a balcony without a railing or a wall, which is very dangerous. The fans didn't have power backup so it can get hot when there's a power failure. The water filter is not accessible and you have to ask the hosts every time, which is a problem at night. The location is a bit far from the city center.

    Hosts were friendly and accommodating and even offered to take us on rides on their taxi for reasonable prices. Rooms and bathrooms were clean and comfortable. Bath towels available on rent. There is a small but nice front yard with a lawn.

    Only challenge is location, getting a auto reach is bit difficult. Not much inhouse option for food, you need to depend on swigy and zomato.

    Care taker are very good, they provide all the support you need. Cleaning is good. Overall good experience. They have bikes for rent at a very good price.

    The bed was rather firm for Western tastes, even though we know it's good for our backs! The homestay is a work in progress, so there was some building work going on. Once finished, it will surely be worth 10/10. The family have invested well in their venture

    A very welcoming family that spoke very good English. Although not needed, electric blankets on the bed. Complimentary water and tea. Decent sized room, with double aspect so nice and light. Good shower with hot water on demand. Plenty of electrical sockets. Garden space for sitting out. Food available, if required.
