Staying at the homestay in Dudhli, Shimla was a truly heartwarming and memorable experience. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, adding to the overall comfort of our stay. Surrounded by peaceful nature and thoughtful touches, the atmosphere felt both authentic and relaxing. We deeply appreciated the warm hospitality, and the owner’s friendliness and helpfulness made the experience even more special. We highly recommend this homestay to anyone looking for a calm, cozy, and homely retreat in Shimla.

Spacious and clean apartment with well equipped kitchen and great view from the balcony.

Nice clean two room set, with mountain view from the windows. Value for money. You get what you pay for. Hosts are helpful and always there for any need.

It is 4 km away(downhill) from Shimla almost 30 mins drive in peak time.

Room was spacious

Very good property..very kind and helpful host 😊

Great location, beautiful surrounding atmosphere, great staff. Most friendly and helpful receptionist and staff ever, lovely and great first impression of hotel. Everything about the hotel was exceptional. It was clean, stylish, roomy with excellent service in where we had dinner. Food was good and great value for money and service was attentive and efficient. Room itself was well equipped and comfortable. I was very pleased with my stay. I hope to be back for a longer visit in the future

The room was clean and included with all facilities which are mentioned. Staff behaviour was pleasant. The view is good from the stay and nearby places, good for a morning walk.

The place is good for the view but a bit (3.5 km) away from main road. You must prefer a rental vehicle or taxi to reach.Also there are not many restaurant options available near stay, you need to find them on the main road.

It was very nice staying here. All facilities were good. Room was so clean and clean. The owner was very friendly and helpful.

I liked everything in the stay. Everything was so good host was so friendly just like a family member. View was very beautiful. It was very peaceful and cosy. I would suggest everyone this stay

It was a very good Home stay. And location is very atteractive

Nice place

The Hosts are amazing. I mean it felt like I have gone to some already known people's house for a staycation. Aunty(Seema Sood) and Kartik Sood(The owner) immediately respond to any call and queries and solve in a minute. They brought clean water to drink when asked immediately.

There is nothing like not to like. I mean it's a hill area and we can't get everything everywhere.

Everything

Nothing

Location of the property is good, outside views are charming. Value for money stay.

Room was nice with clean sheets and quilts. Geyser , WiFi (could be better though) and drinking water was also available. Seema aunty received us, as soon as we reached and called her. There was no to minimal intervention from the owner which was nice. There is a shop right outside where you can buy groceries or any dry snacks if needed. There is a cafe and dhaba also nearby if you’re hungry. Kartik, the owner helped us with cab services as well.

Our stay was located quite a distance from the main area of Shimla, making it essential to have our own vehicle for easy exploration. Plus, the roads leading to the property is currently under construction. Fortunately, Kartik, the owner of the accommodation, assisted us in arranging a cab driver. It seems they have a collaboration with the stay, which made the service both affordable and cheaper than other options in the area. The highlight of our trip was undoubtedly our cab driver, Pinku Bhaiyya. He was not only kind and funny, but also incredibly helpful. He dropped us off and picked us up whenever we needed to go out, and he took us to popular spots in Kufri. At the end of our stay, he also ensured we reached our final drop-off point at MC Car Parking safely. Overall, his support greatly enhanced our experience in Shimla.

Perfect homestay for family.Very neat and clean rooms with a nice kitchen with all facilities.We loved our stay as the host were very kind and helpful.Thanks to Seema Aunty and Kartik.🥰

The host was very helpful

They don't have staff to assist with the luggage and the stairs to reach the apartment is not that easy for older people. but thats normal for a hilly area I guess. they should arrange a nearby parking area for the vehicles as currently the vehicle needs to be parked a bit far and on roadside.

Had an absolutely wonderful experience. The host was incredibly welcoming and hospitable, making sure every aspect of our stay was comfortable.I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to relax and enjoy a peaceful getaway!

Host is very friendly and helpful Room and bathrooms were properly cleaned Feels like home

-

The rooms were really clean. All ingredients to cook were available in the kitchen. You can cook anything. The host is supportive. The view is also good.

Host were really very good & helpful. Feel like home & hosts were nice & hospitable. I recommend others to stay here & make your trip memorable.

I like there's hospitality, I stay there with my family. All are very helpful and caring.

The property location is out of town, but if you love to nature, you must stay there.

Everything was good 👍. And home stay family members were very polite. We didn't face any kind of problem.

None

hospitality, location and value for money.

Thanks to Aunty for such a warm welcome! Highly recommended. Beautiful homestay. Thumbs up for the cleanliness. Serene view. It’s one of the best option whether you are coming with family or friends for a peaceful stay. It’s just 20 mins drive from mall road and you can easily get cabs from ‘Auckland Tunnel’ towards location at a reasonable price. The owners are helpful and friendly. A grocery store is just adjacent to the property where u can buy everything. Overall I had a wonderful experience staying here.

There’s nothing to not like or worry about.

Behaviour is good and friendly.

Nothing is there to not like ,everything is good.

Peaceful location

All good

Nice Mountain View apartment…. Very peaceful @ clean place

Rooms are clean and spacious.and owner is also very supportive

The room was very clean and spacious. All the facilities were available. As we were all girls, I had a safe and good stay with Residence Inn.

The property owner is every cooperative . He helped us in arranging a good cab with a good driver for tough route. Budget friendly. And all amenities are also good.

Owner behaviour, rooms, tidiness, view(from one of the rooms)

The place was super clean and exactly like in the pictures. It has a great view over the city and the rooms are warm and cozy even at night. I'd surely recommend staying here.

The stay was great. The market closes early @10 so I would recommend having necessary requirements handy for late night.

View is fantastic

Everything good

Comfortable homestay with ample sunlight and good valley view in shimla, great budget option.

Breakfast available nearby hotel & small restaurant, It is very good for stay.

Location is away for Mall road but good stay here

Members were good. Rooms were good and clean

The location. Much interior. Its almost 25 stairs down the road difficult with luggage bags. Faced problems with those. Though they helped but as no stuff for these thing only family members available there it was difficult to handle or tell them to carry our bags

Host Karthik is very nice and called me soon after I booked from booking.com to understand my arrival and stay details. He is polite and very helpful. We landed in shimla early in the morning though my booked stay not available at that time his mother arranged an alternative stay to freshen up without any extra cost. They treated us like extended family while we are around, the best part here is well maintained kitchen with required utensils, attached balcony, smart TV and free wifi. Other thing I forgot mention is very next door you can find departmental store for your all needs.

Behaviour of the owner. It's was very excellent. View from the homestay of shimla was so nice. Enjoy every minutes of the stay. Owner Mr Kartik help me out every time when I needed. The rooms and basic amenities are very excellent. I wish when ever I got chance to visit shimla again, I will go with residence inn homestay.

Family is very good. Home is well maintained. Overall, very good and peaceful.

Family could have provided with toiletry, towels, heater in service. Also, home was 2 floors below road..little inconvenience for disabled people with luggage.

The stay had all the necessary stuff we could ask for, from hot water supply in a clean bathroom to a cooking space for cooking our own food with cooking gas and utensils provided too. It also has a balcony to sit and relax outside. If weather conditions are not great to step out then the room is also equipped with wifi and a smart tv. As the place is slightly away from Mall road, you would get a proper feel of wilderness to it too while taking casual walks outside in the pine forests. But that does not mean it is too far - buses stop right outside in an interval of every 30minutes that could take you to the city. Lastly, the stay owner Kartik and his family have been very hospitable and took care of any queries or requests we made. This overall is a great stay - that too at a reasonable budget!

Nothing to complaint about!

The place and view was great from Homestay.

The stay was great and peaceful.

Warm welcome of the homestay and rooms were excellent👌 Homestay Owner's Mom came and greeted us before handing over the keys. Aunty's sweet gestures and words is what made us feel like we are in our own house. We were given a refreshment room once reached hotel a little early until they finished cleaning the room which was alloted to us. We had water heater both in kitchen and bathroom for 24 hours everyday. Private and safe for couples or family even solo travel.

Location was interior called dudhli which was like almost 10KM from ISBT bus stand and no immediate transportation were available to reach destinations. We need to book a private cab and see all sightseeings. No Uber or Ola at hotel place. Sudden power outage may happen if too much snowfall or rain.

The host Kartik was pretty amazing.... He was coordinating with us from the day of stay till we left.... He was available on call at any time... Room was quite clean and spacious....

I would like to thank karthik and his mother for the exceptional support and care. The stay was wonderful ,clean and well maintained. The view from the room is mesmerizing. Looking forward to visit again soon.

Really unexpected place and good family peoples. So friendly and kind. I never forget my shimla memory. If anyone want to visit shimla just go and stay here. Thank you Mr.Karthik and families. 🙏🙏🙏

Very comfortable stay . Auntie ji, Kartik ji both are very caring. Neat and clean rooms washrooms. Well equipped kitchen, we cooked our own.

Nothing..

The people handling the property were extra helpful and very friendly. Place was very clean.

Given the budget of the property, place was great

Lovely hosts.. Kartik helped in organising our trips. He was clear with his communication. Uncle and Aunty were really nice. Aunty even cared to make some coffee, tea to our liking.. The room is sufficient for a family of 4 for couple of days.

Nothing in particular..

Clean room good view and all the facilities are there as per describe while booking

The room was nice and clean and exactly what we were looking for. The Host of the Homestay was very accommodating for everything. Overall, we had a great time.

Staff there was best we can't call them staff, the family who owns the place is very supportive and friendly.

Price for group of friends/bachelor's is high but it is best place for couples and family.

Owner was supportive and stay was clean.

No parking available and location was bit away from shimla city.

Room was in mint condition. Both in cleanliness and organization. Internet speed was very good as I was using 4 equipments at the same time and it was running flawlessly.Both Kartik and Seema mam were one of the best host we have ever faced.
