Many mosquitos in the bedroom

Mozes is such a nice host. This homestay really is a homestay: small and personal. Nice social vibe, good food

Even though it’s a small place you will meet other travellers and it was super nice to have dinner together with Moses and the other guests. It’s very clean and after sightseeing it’s nice to just relax in the common area. Moses is a great host with loads of knowledge about the area and he helped everyone with booking train tickets and recommendations in general!

I had the private room so I can't comment on the beds in the hostel part. What I can say is that it is one of the friendliest and most chilled places that it's been my pleasure to stay at in a long time. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay with Moses and his family. They were there for any help or information needed, always with a smile and a readiness to go above and beyond expectations. Absolutely amazing evening vegetable Thali which I urge you to enjoy as much as possible if you get a chance. Wear your loosest pants as you may find it difficult to stop.......

We were warmly welcomed by the entire family. This hostel felt like a home away from home. The owners are extremely helpful with planning your stay in Agra, and even the rest of your trip in India if needed. The room was comfortable, the general area was cosy and the homemade food was delicous. There is a roofterras with comfy couches for hanging out. Try their cooking class, it's very interesting!

The best hostel we stayed at during our whole trip! Moses has been the perfect host, going the extra mile to help his customers. He helped us out when we were stuck in Delhi, booking us a last minute train in the middle of the night so we could leave for Agra the next morning. He helped us plan our day, without any obligations. And we were very grateful for his help and advice because it made our stay so much better. The homestay was very clean and homely. They also have the cutest and overactive beagle puppy. Would definitely recommend staying here!

The whole place feels like home, well maintained. The running family is super lovely and available to help you with any issue, question or doubt! We've been very satisfied with everything

10/10 amazing, Mr Moses is the best host and will take care of everything in Agra (and beyond) for you. The best customer care experience ever. If you want to be looked after and be made feel like a family friend, this is the place. India would not be the same without meeting Moses and his lovely family! Thank you!

Everything was fine!

Moses is soo kind. He will make your trip much more manageable and help you with whatever you need. I have to say that meeting people like him and his family is the reason why I travel. They are always ready to lend you a hand with everything. Taj Mahal and Moses are probably the best things to see in Agra! 👌

Moses made us feel completely at home and organised a great day for us in Agra and made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish. He went above and beyond - helped us check our trains, made us a packed lunch for our onward train journey and got up early to ensure we departed okay. He obviously loves travellers and has lots of useful and interesting information for exploring Agra and India. The food cooked by himself and his family is delicious. The place is spotless and cosy, and we would happily come again to stay. Only regret is that we didn't have an extra day to go on the bike tours and cooking class which his family runs. Also they have a Beagle puppy called sky who is very cute.

We stayed for four nights and wouldn’t hesitate to go back. Moses, John, Irene and Stephie welcomed us into their home and made us feel so comfortable. The beds were comfy, rooms clean, consistent hot water and the place had a good social vibe. The food was fantastic - we did a cooking class with Moses and Irene and really enjoyed everything that the family prepared. We were so well looked after and the family went above and beyond to help us enjoy our stay and also enjoy Agra. Cant recommend highly enough!

The hot water in the shower runs for a very short time and has weak stream.

Wonderful, helpful hosts who even follow up to help you after you leave. Comfy room & beds, super clean facilities. The food that's offered in the family restaurant is delicious. Relatively close to the Taj, and a short ride from multiple lovely restaurants and cafes. Super lovely puppy is provided as well - highly recommended to pat.

This is seriously one of the best homestay we’ve ever been too. Moses and his family are just so sweet and helpful. Amazing food and property. Rooms were super comfortable. Multiple Blankets were provided for cooler temperatures. Can’t recommend them enough!

Moses and his family were the most wonderful hosts. As soon as we arrived we felt at home and were welcomed like family members. There are no questions that Moses couldn't answer, and he made sure that we got the most of our little time in the city. The room was clean and tidy and had all the resources we could need.

If you want to go to Agra then this is the place to stay! Moses and his family are beyond friendly, they will give you the best tips what to do and how much things should actually cost etc., even after your stay in Agra they are always there for you if you have any inquiries and will help you with everything. I've visited 70 countries so far and stayed in many hostels and homestays but I've never had such an experience like here. I'll definitely will be back, thanks a lot Moses!

This is a cozy hostel with a hospitable host. You will meet travelers from different parts of the world, so evenings can always be spent with interesting stories. The owner of the hostel is a nice guy who will always help you with planning a trip around the city and around India.

Moses was very welcoming and helpful, and I enjoyed my stay at his homestay. He organized a tuk tuk for me to get to the Taj Mahal for sunrise. He also had great recommendations for restaurants and sightseeing.

The host, Moses, was extremely welcoming! He was very helpful with everything. He gave us tons of information about the surroundings, Taj Mahal and India. Very happy we stayed here!

Really nice vibe and super helpful owner. He organized everything like Taj tickets, train tickets and tuktuk drivers for me. Really cozy and friendly place.

Our stay here was amazing! We arrived at the horrible time of 4:45 am and Moses kindly let us in with all our bags and showed us somewhere to keep them and sit. About 45 minutes later he came to talk to us about some ideas of what to do that day in Agra and booked us a tuk tuk to the Taj Mahal to see the sunrise and gave a great recommendation for breakfast afterwards. When we returned we were shown to our room by John (who was also lovely). We had dinner cooked by Moses and his mum (which was absolutely delicious) and a wonderful chat with Moses about India and some of its history. We enjoyed it so much here we didn’t want to leave and we wish we had know about their cooking classes and bike tours before as we would have LOVED to have done these! Couldn’t recommend staying here enough!

This was one of the BEST places I stayed at during my week in India. Coming to see the Taj Mahal is a once in a lifetime experience. If you get to stay overnight in Agra, don't hesitate to book your stay at Zigzag Homestay. It truly IS a lovely homestay and a welcoming place to enjoy an experience (not just a bed). Everything here is clean, convenient and well maintained. Moses (the host) is extremely knowledgeable and helpful and can organize anything you need. He knows all the secret spot and has access others don't have. Traveling as a solo female, his advice prior to arrival, during and even after departure, was reassuring, kind and very helpful so don't hesitate to ask. What an amazing home cooked dinner Moses's mom provided. Will definitely try her cooking class on the next visit.

Not a single thing.

Amazing experience that really elevated out time in Agra. Moses and his family are lovely people and he knows EVERYTHING about Agra. It was very refreshing staying outside the touristic center and Tukutuks are easy to get and cheap. Fantastic recommendations and assistance with literally any inquiry. Cleanliness is great and the room is comfortable. I would recommend to any traveller coming to Agra to experience this Homestay.

My favourite hostel on this trip so far, Moses and his family are not only very helpful, but very friendly and welcoming. You get a personal touch here that is rare, but very welcomed, whilst travelling. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Agra.

Amazing food!

The hotel is run by a warm, hospitable family, with a cozy living room for the reception area. My room was comfortable, with cold AC. You walk downstairs for the bathroom and toilet, but that was not a problem for me. The best part of my visit was the sunrise bike tour of a nearby village. It is a traditional village, an authentic experience of rural India, with no automobile traffic (mostly bikes and rickshaws), friendly locals, and no other tourists.
