Kyarki Village Homestay & Cafe

What a terrific host and what a beautiful place to spend some quality time. The atmosphere at this home stay is just outstanding. The rooms are clean, and the food is tasty. The only regret is to spend only one night at this place. You may find a better place with more luxury, but to have such a positive vibe in a homestay showered by such soft spoken hosts is rare. Thanks to Paul, Madhavi ma'am, and the most caring shubham for having us at your abode.

We went with family to spend time. There are only two members who are managing this property. Owner is very rude.I requested for some services and asked to improve their services He said that we are happy with what they have.Looks like they are not ready to improve their services. Worst services. Food quality was very happy Hygiene problem was there. We were just waiting to complete our night. Immediately in morning we left without breakfast.

I showed up at the property on 1 May at around 11pm at night. I provided all the documents to the hotel and after that i went inside the room. I did the whole payment that was required to be done and was showing in the app. The payment was of 12k something and i did it. After that some guy called me and started demanding me 1000 more. I declined and said that i have already made the whole payment. He then told me that he was cancelling the booking, abused me again and told he will kick me out of the property. Some heated exchange occured. I was with my wife. He threatened me with consequences and told me to wait there and he was coming there to beat me. I was little afraid because i was with my wife who was very afraid. After that i made the payment of 1000 rupees more. I told him that i have made you the payment, now don't disturb me and let me sleep as i was very tired. He said he don't care about the payment, he would be coming to beat me. My wife was trembling with fear in an unknown place. She asked me to leave. I asked the manager to return my money so that i could leave. He declined to pay. I left the property without even taking the money. I lost 13000 rupees without even staying in the hotel. I want my money back

Roads

The Host and Staff are some of the most beautiful human beings on the planet

The road up the mountain is in bad shape. It's the same road up the mountain to visit Neer Waterfall so it is heavily trafficked

This is an amazing stay in Rishikesh hills for people who need peace . The property owner Paul and his Cook Shubham both showed great hospitality and were quiet interactive. I also interacted with local people and bought organic pulses It's a beautiful calm homestay away from City Chaos.

A beautiful place in a stunning, mountainous area. Despite my short stay, I felt right at home thanks to the kindness of the owner, Paulson, and the guys. It's clear they care deeply about their guests. A big plus is the good and available food, and of course, the company of the dogs. 😅❤️ The road to the place may not be the best, but any car can easily get there, and the views are worth it. I hope to return someday for a longer stay 🙏🤍

The homestay is located in a very peaceful location. Perfect for a weekend getaway. Far from the hustle bustle and crowd of tapovan, yet at a doable distance from the main centre. Food is good. Rooms are decent.

The place where it is located, best host , Good food , overall best experience, we can host spiritual or yoga retreat. This place is really Good for peaceful stay , just 7-8 kms away from Rishikesh, it is close to neer waterfalls . Highly recommended.

Staff and hospitality is awsome.

Homestay is deeply feeling home staying. From the owner, the staff, cooking and surroundings, everything is vibrating of peacefulness. It has been more than a pleasure. Thank you so much. Isabelle💙🌎🎈

An oasis of serenity and peace beside the Kyarki viewpoint, it has beautiful views and excellent food. Take a short break from Rishikesh or stay a month it's perfect for both. Paulson is a wonderful generous host and the stay was the highlight of a four month trip. I'll be back... and soon.

It was such a serene stay. The hospitality by Paul was very warm and Shubham took care in the nicest way possible. Location was very peaceful. Perfect place to have a stay without hustle and bustle. Would love to visit again :)

La struttura è immersa nel verde con una vista spettacolare e comunque con l’accesso facile da raggiungere. La camera molto confortevole e con piccole attenzioni che fanno piacere, tipo le luci soffuse per la lettura, le ciabattine fuori dalla doccia, il tappetino e la bellissima amaca fuori dalla porta.

Io ha la fobia un po’ delle scimmie per cui per me è stato un po’ impegnativo. La strada che porta alla struttura è davvero spettacolare e attraversa una cascata incredibile, ma le pioggia di settembre hanno purtroppo reso la strada accessibile solo alle due ruote per cui ero l’unica ospite delle strutture intorno, per cui non ho fatto nessuna attività come trekking o bagno nelle cascate essendo comunque un po’ pericolosi visto le piogge. Per cui non ho goduto appieno del luogo che potenzialmente è fantastico. Paul comunque mi ha trattato come una regina soddisfando tutte le richieste che poteva. Non avevo molta scelta per il cibo in questo momento non c’erano possibilità di diete alternative (es latte soia, frutta fresca al di là di banane o mele o cucina alternativa rispetto al pharata, ma credo fosse dovuto alla situazione del momento).

Everything about the stay was fantastic, especially the stunning view from the property. The rooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable, and the facilities were top-notch.

The jet spray of the bathroom was not working properly everything else was great 😃

Madhu was an amazing host. All the facilities are really good. Food was great and staff was cooperative.Good stay in the lap of nature with perfect view

Only bugs

The ambiance was truly lovely - we really enjoyed our time! Paulson is a wonderful host. Harpal Singh Ji's food was delicious, and Tamanna was a sweet girl - her housekeeping service was incredible. The furry friends Chill, Mill, and Jill (the cats), along with Fruity and Biscuits (the dogs), were a delightful bonus. We loved the peaceful and calm environment. Looking forward to visiting again!

Amazing place! The people were so friendly and nice!

Comfortable stay, peaceful environment and Generous welcome. Property is very well managed by Paul, must visit place for sunset view point.

Hospitality, service, food and atmosphere

Road towards Kyarki needs repair and lacks public transport

A magical place due to it's location and owners. Just a 20 min drive from Rishikesh to absolute peace and beauty. The apartment is in a great location with views across the mountains, through trees, birds and monkeys! 2 minutes walk from the property is a sunset spot with a small cafe which others travel to from miles around, looking down over the Rishkesh and the Ganges. There are plenty of walks to do if you're feeling fit including Neer waterfalls; all the way downhill to Topavan; up hill with plenty of roadside cafes on the way. Access to Topovan is also easy via taxi or hire a scooter and get around like the locals. This property is not your average homestay, whether Paulson & Madhavi can keep up this incredible level of hosting, I don't know, they put so much energy, care and attention into reading guests needs and ensuring they were comfortable. They introduced guests into more of a social group with the other guests if wanted, but could equally enable a more private stay if that's what suited. This place is their home and you are encouraged to feel at home and part of the family. This is particularly evident with how food is available at the property. Though I know they plan to develop this offering further to create a cafe, at the time we stayed we were provided with breakfast, teas and coffees, and dinner if we wanted it, plus the choice of bottle or fresh mountain water. A delicious group vegetarian meal was prepared, taking into account the differing needs of the guests and we had the option of being served individually at the table outside our room or joining a wider group on the main balcony. Paulson will very generously show you around the area and chat away with much laughter on the way. He will also arrange scooters, airport transfers, white water rafting, friendship! I highly recommend and we would definitely return. I would go on but I've run out of space!

It was unique, I wouldn't change a thing.

Peaceful and awesome. The hosts of this property Paul and Madhu and all staff members are humble and really maintain the property so well. The property was neat and clean,the atmosphere there was magical and peaceful.The haven't put any television there in the room so that you could enjoy the nature. I had the most peaceful sleep there after so many years.

Location.

The hosts were amazing. They are a couple and they make the stay very comfortable

The room was okay, it lacked hooks or a cupboard, a little costly especially for the remote area, there wasn't a hot water shower and I had to use the bucket for hot water which was a little difficult, however the hosts are willing to improve the property and I think that it will become very good, since it is still a new property and they are constructing and improving

The view was amazing, the location was perfect if you are into hiking, mountains, sunrises and sunsets. The hosts were very accommodating to all our needs. This place is situated in a peaceful, serene village (Kyarki) with beautiful people all around. If you want to get away from the bustling streets of Tapovan, then this might be the place for you. cafes nearby, look elsewhere...

My room was not really furnished-- no TV, no shampoo/conditioner, no toilet paper, no body wash, etc. There were flies on the walls, the shower didn't have hot water (we had to use the bucket). No communal kitchen, either. The internet didn't work in my room, but was fast upstairs.

The host

like the ambiance and welcoming gesture, peace on that place

Kyarki homestay is one of the most comfortable place to stay around Rishikesh. Not only is it clean and hygienic but also very well designed by the owners. There are many unexplored gems around to visit, you can ask Paulson to recommend such places. Paul is a very honest host who also does yoga and relaxation sessions. It is more than a homestay, thanks to the passionate efforts from the lovely owners and staff.

Not much to dislike about the place
