Rajani was an exceptional host. She was very attentive towards our needs and made sure to make us feel extremely homelike and comfortable. The breakfast and dinner which was home-cooked was delicious and healthy. It made us feel right at home. We absolutely loved our time here. If you're in hampi, this homestay amidst the lush greenery and beautiful home garden could be the best place to relax and rejuvenate.
Kind host and staff, homestay is surrounded by greenery and it has spacious and clean rooms. I recommend this homestay if you are planning to stay in Hampi.

Great place to stay in Hampi
Great stay | pleasant, friendly, and KIND host family | quiet, respite from vehicular horns | clean, solid WiFi, AirCon, ceiling fan | hot water kettle and bottled water | clean bed linens, towel, soap, hot shower | restful and relaxing stay | paid with (tourist) UPI account | easy walk to the temple sites, used local bus (20 INR) back to Hospet and onward train | thank you!
"Finding Saptami felt like finding an oasis. If you are looking for sanity away from the tourist rush, this is it. The property is tucked away in a lush, green farm where the only noise is the birds chirping. The rooms are spotless and simple, but the real beauty is the hospitality—the hosts rajni treat you like family, It’s quite safe even for solo travelers and incredibly restorative. A perfect 10/10 for anyone needing to unplug."
The location of Saptami homestay is amazing to explore Hampi. Very good nearby food joints as well. The rooms were well furnished making it a confortable stay for my family. Thank you so much Rajini Maam, Sameer for all your hospitality and the tasty food. Thanks you for arranging the transport for pick and drops and sight seeing, it make our lives so easier. Would deifinitely be statying here whenever we come next.

Very nice landlady and staff
All good 👍
The location was amazing and the staff was very friendly and listened to all our queries and demands. The food they provided was exceptional and very tasty and cooked freshly. And the lady who is managing the property is polite and was concerned about all we need.
Our host was very welcoming and we enjoyed Indian breakfast daily and had one pleasant dinner at the home stay. They helped us arrange tuk tuk drivers to take us around the sights of Hampi as well as long distance driver to goa after our stay
Nothing. Very comfortable stay for the price
Room is spacious wnough for family of 3 and location is nice, near to main attractions. Near to farm land which is nice.
Service was not that good. Water was also not put inside room. Electric kettle and fridge is not there. Allout is there For the price they are taking they should have provided better service.

La gentillesse du personnel, les chambres sont spacieuses, et le petit déjeuner est délicieux. La famille est souriante, ce fut un plaisir de séjourner ici
Een accomodatie in een rustige en prachtige omgeving, met prima bedden en sanitair, zoals een heerlijke warme douche. Voor onze kamer was een overdekt terras waar we goed konden zitten en waar je 's avonds je diner kon laten serveren voor een heel redelijke prijs. Ook het ontbijt was prima, waarbij je de keuze had van een Indiaas of westers ontbijt. Overdag kon je thee en koffie krijgen. Het personeel was erg behulpzaam en gastvrij. Het ligt even buiten Hampi, een half uurtje lopen, maar het personeel kan zo een tuktuk voor je regelen.
Le lieu est paisible et magnifique. Un acceuil incroyable de Rajani . Nous avons passer 3 jours absolument fantastiques . Rajani et la jeune fille m'ont gentillement aidé à mettre mon sari et m'ont fait toute jolie pour la cérémonie de Holi. Je ne peux que conseiller de merveilleux endroit ! Nous aurions aimé rester plus longtemps ❤️ Encore merci a tous
My parents really enjoyed their stay and the homecooked food was excellent.
Nice clean property with homely vibe
Such a nice setting. Very welcoming and helpful hosts. Nothing was too much trouble.
Bathroom had a musty smell
The location was awesome. We loved the trees all around and enjoyed the chirping of birds during the day. The owner and the staff were very forthcoming to cater to our requests.
Nothing in particular
Wir hatten einen sehr angenehmen Aufenthalt und haben die Ruhe der Unterkunft und die vielen Bäume und Pflanzen genossen. Die Gastgeber waren sehr zuvorkommend und hilfreich. Es gab leckeres Frühstück und Chai, sowie Wasserflaschen. Mit einem geliehenen Fahrrad konnten wir Hampi innerhalb von 20 Minuten erreichen. Zu Fuß ist das nächste Restaurant 5-10 Minuten entfernt. Wir empfehlen die Unterkunft von ganzem Herzen weiter für alle die einen entspannten Aufenthalt suchen und die Gegend gern mit dem Fahrrad entdecken.
The host were really helpful, kind hearted and good natured. The ambiance of the property was really good
Well maintained rooms. Excellent breakfast. Nice host
All good
The hosts were very helpful – they organized tuk-tuks for us and even drove us to a scooter rental. The location is beautiful and very peaceful, surrounded by rice fields and banana plantations. It’s the perfect base to explore the sights of Hampi.
The cleanliness of the rooms could be improved a bit. The bed sheets had some stains, and the bathroom could have been cleaned more thoroughly. It wasn’t a major issue, but improving this would definitely make the stay even better.
The location
Everything. Coffee was amazing
Nothing
A beautiful secluded, cool, quiet location. Close to the amazing ancient city of Hampi. Ranjini and her able staff could not be more welcoming and helpful. You get the feeling that your stay is important to her and them. Ranjini went above and beyond for us booking train tickets to Mumbai when we had been told that there were none to be had! She also put us on to our guide and Auto driver, the wonderful Mare who showed us as much of the UNESCO Heritage as we had time to see. Bed was very comfortable, shower was great.Breakfast is sensational. A wonderful stay!
Only that we couldn’t stay longer.
Cooperative people

Good location amidst farm and surrounded by trees. Rooms are good with a small swing chair in balcony. The property serves hot tasty breakfast. Hampi monuments are just 3 kms away. One can walk and also see some attractions in the way
Room cleanliness needs improvement
L’emplacement est parfait pour explorer Hampi : entre la ville Royale, accessible à pied, et Hampi Bazaar. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié l’accueil chaleureux et la gentillesse de Rajini, qui nous a aidés tout au long de notre séjour.
Our experience was v. good. this is a good green place and will come back in future too. Pure Veg food was our requirement. Their food Breakfast and Dinner were v. good. authentic south indian food.
everything was good. no comments. None.
Everything is perfect, beautiful property, calm and peaceful
The room is very neat and clean including the bathroom. Attached is a very beautiful balcony. The owner is very sweet and accomodating. She helped us with early check in, the process was very smooth. She was very helpful to us even after our check out. She even provided us with auto details and the driver is very friendly and professional. The facilities are very nice, like on demand breakfast and laundry. The filter coffee was very tasty, a great start to a great day!! I'd highly recommended everyone to stay here!!
Excellent staff. Tea was exceptional.
No breakfast available. At least bread butter should be available.
The homestay is very good. It's clean , owner and workers are so good and friendly. She helped us to get rented vehicle easily. So it helped us alot. This home homestay of very near for all the places. Even we were not sure when we came initially but this is the right place to stay if u want to visit all the places with hustle. Only anjanadri is bit far from here but remaining all within 3-5 km range.We strongly recommend this stay. We have almost stayed 2 nights and 3 days.it good to stay here.

The homestay is very simple very neat and clean property. The host is very helpful and nice . The location of the property is the highlight..very near to the sightseeing places... Highly recommended.

Lovely property amongst the trees. The location is great with a short ride to Hampi old town. The room is spacious with good AC and fan, and a nice comfortable bed. The places is family owned and has a sweet atmosphere. The breakfast is fantastic with omelette, coffee and fruit. Highly recommend for a trip in Hampi. They were also very kind and allowed us a very late check out! Highly recommend
Staying at Saptami Hampi Homestay was truly a delightful experience. Nestled amidst nature, the location offers a peaceful and serene vibe that makes it the perfect getaway from city chaos. The hospitality of the owner is something you'd expect from world-class companies—warm-hearted, incredibly cooperative, and always ready to help with a smile. The rooms are spotless, with thoughtful amenities like clean towels and complimentary water bottles. Each room has a lovely outdoor seating area with a swing, adding to the charm of the place. While there's no TV, the natural surroundings and tranquility more than make up for it. Overall, I’d rate this stay 11/10. It’s highly recommended—definitely a better choice than staying in Hippie Island if you're looking for comfort, cleanliness, and heartfelt hospitality.

Saptami Hampi Homestay is a hidden gem nestled in nature. The location is peaceful and scenic—perfect for a relaxing stay. The owner is one of the most hospitable and kind-hearted people I’ve come across, more professional and warm than what you’d expect even from top hotels. Rooms are very clean, with fresh towels and bottled water provided. The outdoor seating with a swing is a lovely touch and perfect for unwinding. There’s no TV, but honestly, you won’t miss it amidst such serene surroundings. Highly recommended—much better than staying in Hippie Island if you're looking for comfort, cleanliness, and genuine hospitality.

Saptami Homestay is fantastic. The setting is beautiful and it is surrounded by lush farmland and forest. The Homestay is lovely, the room was very comfortable and clean and had a lovely front area just outside the bedroom with a sofa and swinging chair. The breakfast, which was included, was excellent. Rajini and her brother in law and the rest of the staff are so helpful and friendly. They did my washing, sorted out my onward travel and allowed me to use a room to rest before my evening bus. One of the staff even took me to a nearby restaurant on a motorbike and picked me up after I had finished eating. In eight visits to India I have not stayed anywhere nicer.

The property is in an excellent location close to all the monuments of Hampi. A lovely breakfast is served each morning. They even did our laundry for us in their washing machine. The owner and the staff were lovely and always on hand. We found out last minute that our train to Goa was cancelled and they booked us tickets for the night bus instead.

My girlfriend and I were unfortunately very sick for most of our stay at Saptami Hampi, but we were blown away by the kindness of our hosts. They arranged for a doctor to come to our room late at night, looked after us, and we're constantly checking in that we were well. In addition, the rooms were spacious and clean with a comfortable bed, and the huge number of monkeys all around the property were an endless source of entertainment. The dosas provided for breakfast were also absolutely incredible. Possibly the best dosas I've had anywhere in India.
The place is at a very good location and very convenient if you have your own vehicle. The room was very clean and comfortable, also the hosts are very nice and friendly people. We loved the stay here.

I really liked the way hosts treated us. It was very friendly and welcoming. Plus Rajni Ma'am served us coffee and breakfast which was very tasty. Totally worth giving a try !! ⭐
Everything about the place is good. So try.
Cool, spacious room, the bed had a VERY comfortable mattress,which is always a bonus in India 😊 Lovely modern bathroom with hot shower and everything was nice and clean . The hosts and staff made our stay very special it was a very peaceful and quiet place. Thankyou!

Place and stay was very comfortable and awesome, food was tasty. The service they provided was exceptional. clean home stay in just 3 kms away distance from main attractions in Hampi. Highly recommended
The location was superb, in easy cycling distance of Hampi temples to the north & the Zanana Enclosure to the East, while Hosapete Junction is only 20 mins by car. Our hosts were extremely generous, organising our bicycle rental (delivered straight to us!) & cooking us breakfast & dinner (delicious, at a very good price). We particularly enjoyed the greenery & private balcony, amidst lush trees overlooking banana plantations. A calm, quiet place to rest after sightseeing, I highly recommend!
Nothing!
Very nice location and excellent facilities. Well thought out. Hosts are very accommodating and caring.
whithin pure nature, with monkeys playing in the trees in the morning and afternoon. Great roof terrace to have wonderful homecooked breakfast or dinner, lovely family to help with everything, from bike rental to clothes washing. We absolutely loved it! great location quite in the middle of the most imprtant monuments, but very quiet and relaxing atmosphere.
The host Rajni ji was exceptionally so welcoming and inspite of the cook being on leave , she was so warm to cook local food for us which was fantastic. The location and the surrounding was serene and beautiful. The rooms were attached to a covered portico with swinging chair and then a huge verandah overlooking the garden . She was so kind to get us introduced to the best tour guide Mr. Hemant who was absolutely amazing and shared the information on the monuments, local history and showed his creativity with his skills on camera shooting . Overall a beautiful and memorable stay .
Whilst this homestay is a little out of town, it's easy enough to get to and from the main sites via rickshaw/auto or your own bike. The place is surrounded by amazing greenery and wildlife - seeing monkeys swinging from the trees was a highlight. Everything about my stay was as described online. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The bathroom was very nice and functional. It has all the basic things - plus some outdoor seating. The host and her family were friendly, welcoming and very helpful. The indian breakfast was also fantastic! They kindly provided laundry service and arranged for pick up/drop off transportation. I had a late night bus out of Hampi and the hosts gave me a room to rest for a few hours even after I'd checked out at 9.30am. A side note: my only advice is that you walk a few minutes to the main road to hail a rickshaw/auto as it will be cheaper than being picked up at the homestay.
Love the overall homestay, the balconies, watching the monkeys in the trees. The coffee was also AMAZING. Best coffee I had in a homestay. And the Indian breakfast was very high quality. The rooms are large and spacious. The staff is great, everyone was so friendly and accommodating. You'll get a designated tuk tuk driver to take you everywhere. Beware though that you are around 45 min to an hour away from the other side of the river, which is beautiful. This homestay is closer to the temples though.
When I first arrived my room didn't have a balcony was meant for a family, not a solo travel. I was pretty sad at first, but then relieved to find out I was going to a different room the following day that had a balcony and just one bed so I would ensure that if you get a room, make sure it has a balcony which will really improve your overall stay. Also the "mother" who seems to be in charge of everything is very friendly, but also a bit assertive and hard to communicate with which felt a bit unwelcoming at first but then she warmed up to me after a few days.
Great place for stay the owner lives nearby & very friendly & co operative
It’s a homestay in Hampi to facilitate your exploration. You get what you get with a homestay. The room was fine, sitting area outside was good. Excellent breakfast. Extremely helpful host, she even organised a last minute affordable taxi to Goa. Very happy there. You will need a rickshaw or car to get around Hampi.
The beautiful natural setting, spacious sunroom, Indian breakfast and having the use of a washing machine.
Spotless, large room, extremely comfortable bed, peaceful farm, monkeys
Room is like a business hotel, so no local character.
Great host … couldn’t do enough for us .. coffee / tea whenever asked … and the breakfast was substantial and amazing…. Dosa just kept coming
Nothing
Lovely location amongst the palms - the balcony area is great for sitting out and relaxing watching birds and monkeys. It's a great place to relax after exploring Hampi. It's between the two main sites - we walked and cycled to almost everywhere very easily on quiet roads. Staff are very friendly and very kindly allowed us to use room / shower / balcony after check out as our train wasn't until 9pm.
Bathroom is old and needs a deep clean, drains can be a bit smelly. Felt quite expensive for the facilities but maybe that's how it is for Hampi. Breakfast to be included would help.
Great location and access - very helpful staff. Liked the open upstairs balcony. It had a nice atmosphere
The location is exceptional. Very close to all Major Hampi attractions. You can take a break in between sightseeing to recharge yourselves. Hosts Mrs. Rajini and Mr. Gowda are exceptional and courteous. They arranged a guide for us ( Hemanta ) who was also excellent. Excellent hospitality. clean bathrooms, mosquito-proof rooms. nice serene atmosphere which can help you to destress. Very close to Mango tree restaurant which again was exceptional. They have couples rooms, family rooms and deluxue rooms
