The staff were very cooperative.

Google maps location needed

The food was delicious, and the ambience of the lodge truly felt like home. All the staff were incredibly friendly, warm, and always ready to help. They were proactive and paid attention even to the smallest details to make sure we were comfortable and at ease. They would often remind us of things, offer helpful suggestions, and genuinely go above and beyond to make our stay special. It’s a quiet and peaceful place, with vibrant and beautifully decorated rooms that instantly refresh your mind. Overall, it was a warm, comfortable, and genuinely homely experience. Thanks a lot Rimli and staffs

Location,staff behaviour, cooperative staff.,neat and clean property,well maintained...I wasn't well and they cared that's the best part of the hospitality Owners daughter meet you personally to check on ur stay and that was so welcoming

Just a request that washroom needs to ve an exhaust fan it needs to be a little ventilated...but washroom are clean and hygienic

Flawless stay – exceeded all expectations! Everything about our stay was exceptional. The check-in process was seamless, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The room was spotlessly clean, modern, and offered stunning views. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the blackout curtains guaranteed a great night's sleep. Breakfast had a wonderful variety of fresh, local options. The location is unbeatable—close to key attractions yet peaceful at night. We will definitely return!

Nothing at all—it was perfect. No complaints whatsoever. Zero issues during our stay.

Location is good.

The staff were very cooperative and the chef uncle was a gem. The ambiance of the rooms and surroundings are great. Worth staying at the homestay. Great efforts by the team. Thanks Namaskar Lodge and Homestay for the hospitality 🙏🏽

Property is nice

Its good

Location was okay. I walked to the river but really just use local transport

I got violently sick with the food from their restaurant. It is not suitable for westerners as too spicy. Reported the issue to management with limited response Room extremely hot. Fan stopped working during the night and it was cooler when I opened the door

Very sweet place and people. Food available is really good too. Absolutely well balanced prices.

The staff and hospitality were excellent. The rooms were clean. It's value for money.

For me, everything was good. It meets all of my expectations.

We stayed here for 1 night 5 members.. the staff was so helpful and kind towards us.. they carried our lugguages to the room.. water tea was served as per request. They made sure that we are comfortable.. they prepared authentic thali for dinner where fish fry so so good that my team had first fish in guwhati.. and also mprning since we have to leave early asked for breakfast to be served by 7.30 and that was so perfect they called and served us at tge right time..the owner was so kind and she herself came to checkin on us and to make comfortable.. Overall 5 out 5...

Specially the hospitality nd staff behaviour was out standing ,all were so cooperative nd humble specially owner , they treat their guest as a family members it was pleasant stay.

Only one thing the furniture can be more good

The staff was super friendly and helpful. The rooms are also nice and clean with the lodge located very close to the train station

The stay was pretty nice and the route was easy to find and it's close to the paltan bazaar. The staff was really nice and helpful and made sure everything was perfect. I would definitely recommend you to stay here

We had a good stay at this property. The owner is very friendly and tries to help you in the way she can. The food was also very good. It comes in a little quantity but was very good.

Good location

Very tiny rooms and bathrooms

Lovely family behind this homestay and lovely staff running it. Rooms are nicely decorated, and the whole place has charm. Upstairs there’s a nice area to sit and have tea and food. Also in a good location- near to station and other attractions but doesn’t feel hectic. Would recommend if you’re looking for a value-for-money, homely place to stay in Guwahati

Amazing - value for money, clean, and easy going. Nice place totally recommend.

A bit off the city but still worth it!

Clean, great location, good food and a friendly family who helped me with transport onwards. Would stay again!

Good vibe

Nothing

Nice and afforable place. The hosts are very friendly and happy to help with any questions. We had a tasty breakfast in the morning on their rooftop.

Don't expect anything fancy. The room is clean and the bed comfortable. The shower is cold but a hot shower is a luxury anyways and this is not a luxury hotel.

Homely meal . Really tasty .

Staff is good and friendly. Location is good. Room was clean.

Excellent hôtel joliment aménagé. En retrait de la rue, au calme. Les salles de bain communes sont propres et entretenues. Le gérant donne des informations et aide à réserver des transports. Le petit restaurant familial en rooftop est de bonne qualité et bon marché.

Les chambres single sont de taille réduite, mais vu leur petit prix pour Guwahati elles sont parfaites.

The stay was super comfortable, location on point, the host was very welcoming .. Everything superb !!

Wonderful experience and located v close to good locations for sight seeing and food

Clean rooms with polite staffs.

Food

Everything's best of what a person can expect and get. Would recommend it to everyone 😁😁

I had a wonderful stay at Namaskar Lodge and Homestay. The place truly feels very homely, comfortable, and welcoming. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, and the overall atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing. The hosts were very polite, helpful, and made sure everything was taken care of during the stay. The property is beautifully maintained with lovely plants and a cozy vibe that makes you feel at home. It’s a great choice for anyone looking for a comfortable and budget-friendly stay in Guwahati. Highly recommended! 😊

it would be good if u guys also add a tv

The location was good.

Ich bin am Flughafen Guwahati um 23:40 gelandet. Anjan die Kontakt Person von Namaskar Lodge, hatte für mich ein Taxi bestellt das mich am Flughafen abgeholt hat. Das war sehr angenehm zu der späten Zeit mit einem Fahrrad im Gepäck. Der Anjan ist sehr bemüht und setzt alles in Bewegung für einen angenehmen Aufenthalt für die Gäste!

Flowers pots in the entrance area. Owners are very communicative and remain available for any questions you may have. Rimli is a great sales lady. Although it is a very old building but is maintained fine.

They increase the price on the day of arrival. When you are exhausted by a long trip and travelling with family, it’s quite easy to take advantage of. I know Rimli will not agree and reject by saying it’s a booking.com bug, we cannot give you cheaper price. Well, even if I consider there is a bug, why didn’t you reach out at-least one day in advance or cancel the booking? To this question, she said she didn’t see the booking earlier. Why do I have to pay for your mistake while you make profit when the family arrived exhausted. She also offered the option to cancel the booking.com booking to get discount since they have to pay commission. I have screenshots to back my claim. Receptionist have the attitude of not my business. When we ordered the food from them, we ordered vegetarian and non-vegetarian food since some of the family members were vegetarian. To my surprise they served both together in the same plates. We ended up wasting lots of time in the morning and left the lodge hungry and ate somewhere outside. When we complained to Rimli, she rejected by saying we don’t see behaviour from our staff in the past. Lastly, I lost my cool when I saw an email from Booking.com where they tried to marked the booking as we didn’t checkin at their place. I have the proof of receipt and photos that I stayed there. This is where I decided to put the review to help other family travelling avoid these discomfort. If they remove my review I will post on Google maps.

Rimli’s mother was polite and welcoming, and the property has potential if managed with care.

Honestly, If the situation had not escalated after my first review, I might have ignored it and moved on. But instead of handling feedback professionally, I received insulting remarks and hostile messages from Rimli, the main contact. Her polite public response does not reflect how she actually communicated with me privately, which was deeply disappointing. The issues I raised were real: the price was increased on the day of arrival after my family had already traveled, and 3 week later one of the confirmed booking was wrongly marked as a “no-show,” creating stress and potential credit charges even though I had stayed there. And last but not least, there is 500 rupees Extra charges for Air conditioning, that I am not saying wrong, but it should be documented in the booking.com listing. These actions left us feeling taken advantage of when all we wanted was a peaceful holiday. The property itself also did not entirely match the photos - cheap finishes, poorly maintained bathrooms, may show mismatch between presentation and reality. I am adding photos for reference. The souvenirs were also not a simple gesture of kindness. They were pressed on us with lines like “I am like your mother, you must take this present” even after we politely declined several times. It felt less like genuine hospitality and more like pressure not to leave negative feedback. Rimli could learn humility from her mother, who was at least polite and tried to be accommodating. Her own approach - insulting guests, reacting impulsively, and then playing the victim in public - does not help in hospitality business. I also have screenshots and audio recordings of the hostile communication I received, which I am keeping as proof. If my experience is denied or misrepresented again, I may share them in my next review on Google Maps so that other travelers know the full picture. Sadly, what should have been a memorable family stay turned into a stressful and disappointing experience.

The property has character. It is peaceful, clean and cozy. Staff is great. Highly recommended.

Staff was really friendly and helpful. Everything was decorated nicely with flowers and colour. Many room options available and breakfast option menu also had plenty of options. Good contact through WhatsApp.

Basic stay, good value for money, but wouldn't stay many nights. The bathroom smelled bad, at 7 am the construction work started even though breakfast starts at 8.30. No toiletpaper and bedsheets (though these last two are common in this part of India).

La propreté, l’emplacement et le rapport qualité prix

Le rappel de laisser un bon commentaire, Les bricoles à deux roupies qui ne sont pas faites ( porte de la salle de bain qui s’effondrent, la principale qui bloque) Pas très à l’écoute des clients

Very friendly and helpful staff, good location in the city. Nicely decorated, cozy room and delicious food available from their kitchen. Even though it’s in the city, it’s quiet and peaceful as it’s set back from the road.

Room is very congested

Mujhe yahan ka staff achcha laga owner ka nature best laga. Ye gust ka dil se swagat karte h, ye ghar par food dete h, taste bilkul ghar jaisa, price bahut hi reasonable, paltan market walkig distance par, location bahut achchi night time bhi auto call karo to mil jata h, neat and clean, ha geenary bahut jyada, man dubara moka mila to usi jagah jarur rukenge highly recommend hotel and comfortable😎😎😎😎

Yahan ke log bade milansar h

Excellent location, excellent staff, very warm feeling staying here. Breakfast lunch dinner on the premises excellent room for the price good hot water, Internet Wi-Fi, excellent service I strongly recommend if you are in this price range

Excellent location, staff, and amenities.

Very clean environment with helpful stuff.Mrs Das owner of the property is a very nice lady she monitors every aspect of the property to make the stay is a memorable one.

The property is really good and made me feel like i am at home every single day. The food is especially great and feels like its made at home. The chef creates food according to your needs and each dish is perfect. I would like to stay here every time i visit Guwahati

The staff where really really nice, caring and helpful!! The place it self was really cute looking, and in really amazing location. Must admit that that most of my good ratings goes directly to the staff

It didn't felt clean at all, the covers of the pillow of the bedsheets felt used and had yellow stamps on it, Also the bed made me really itchy everytime I was on it.

Staff members are incredibly kind and eager to help you anytime, especially Namaskar, the owner. Even when she wasn't at the reception she just comes out of her room quickly and gives you any sorts of advice. Your room is kept clean and equipped with mosquito repellent, making your stay comfortable. Meals are authentic and reasonable.

Just part of Indian culture but you have to bring your own toilet paper. Also, as there aren't a lot of hooks in the shower room, you might find some difficulty placing your clothes while bathing.

I orinalky booked for two nights but stayed for five because Namaskar has such a cosy, homely feel to it! The decor, furnishings and attention to detail really stand out and it's obviously been done with love and pride. The staff are so welcoming and helpful and they serve delicious food on the top floor dining / lounge area. Single rooms with shared bathroom or large doubles with en-suite, all budgets are catered for. Great location for sightseeing, I would thoroughly recommend to single / family or group travellers...😁👍

No improvements need to be made, everything was great!

Good value for money. Anjan at the front desk was helpful and accommodating. Rimli was also very helpful - thanks

Too many mosquitoes at the restaurant but I guess it’s probably the season / those little suckers are everywhere in the city.

Have taken only basic omelette

If laundry service would be available

Clean house with good behaviour staffs

Very centrally located. Really clean, safe and quiet. Comfortable beds. Nice covered rooftop where you can get food and drinks. Great responsive communication from owner. Highly recommendable.

Nothing

I had a lovely time with my family. Location was good, staffs were supportive & even allowed us early check-in. They also helped us with arranging trip to Meghalaya. I would stay here again if I am visiting Guwahati. Thanks Team :)
