International Youth Hostel and Homestay Kurseong Bazar

Warm, Family-like, and deeply welcoming

nothing to write

I stayed here on a business‑cum‑leisure trip in August 2024. Beyond the homely feel and comfortable, spotless rooms, the hosts provided excellent travel services—help with itinerary planning, local transport, and seamless check‑in/out. The food was home‑style and generous, and Swastika Di’s attention to guests’ needs was exceptional. Ideal for travelers who want warm hospitality with practical support.

Everyone was good

Staying at Swastika Homestays was an experience beyond expectations. Nestled amidst serene surroundings, it offers the perfect blend of comfort, culture, and care. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and genuine hospitality that made us feel like part of the family. The rooms are clean, cozy, and thoughtfully maintained with local aesthetics that reflect the charm of the region. Traditional meals served fresh from the kitchen were a delightful highlight—each dish was flavorful and made with love, using local ingredients. What truly sets Swastika Homestays apart is the host’s personal touch. Whether it’s arranging local experiences, morning walks in the mist, or sharing stories over tea, every moment feels curated with heart. The calm, foggy mornings and peaceful ambiance make it a rejuvenating retreat away from the chaos of city life. A must-visit for anyone looking for a soulful stay that connects you to nature, people, and tradition. Highly recommended!

Nothing to dislike

Location is very nice but road is very narrow and discomfort to reach

House keeping staff should arrive at bus stand it will be helpful for the guests

If the weather was good, it looked like I could see the good view from the room of Swastika, but I could not see clearly even the closest hill because it was too hazy. I heard from local people many times it is very hazy in April. Anyway it's not the fault of Swatika. The family running Swastika was very friendly. They have a small and beautiful family temple on the top floor, which is good for meditation. The location is very convenient, close to everything - SBI ATM, jeep stand, supermarket and tea garden.

Nothing

The view from the homestay was very nice. But one thing if we get a larger room with a balcony that would be good for us.

The stairs, because if we visit with any older person that is a Hesselfor they reach out to the Homestay.

The room was clean, central location.

Several pages of rules in the room with occasional threats of being fined 2000r for various offences, such as having own food, I don't like being told not to stay out too late (at my age), nor that all the restaurants would "close at 4-5pm" so I should eat at the homestay instead (they actually stay open till 9pm). This felt dishonest. Far too many rules for my liking, sorry. I left after one night. Also, one of the helpful arrows to the property is categorically pointing in the wrong direction, yet you will be repeatedly reprimanded that you "went too far"! Strange layout where you walk through a bedroom to access the bathroom. Didn't feel like a homestay OR a youth hostel.

Amazing homestay.

The owner was very helpful, co ordinated the stay really well. All arrangements were taken care by her. The location is also reachable and all amenities, and shops are nearby.

Actually i liked everything about this place Intenational youth hostel and Swastika homestay. Starting from the hostel which was very beautiful and clean, the owner, staffs were so kind and their hospitality was amazing.The food they made was very delicious and homely. We booked a cab with the help of the owner and the cab driver was also an amazing personality. They made our tour so memorable and easy for us. I will recommend everyone to come her once and enjoy the beauty of Kurseong from this place.

Nothing to dislike.

Didi is very helpful and humble. The facilities at the hostel are very good. Very comfy beds and the place has an amazing view. Perfect place to take a break from your hectic schedules.

cozy

Cozy homestay with good view. Host is warm and welcoming

Common area feels bit congested. Although host guides you over the phone, finding the place for the first time can be challenging

Swastika Homestay exceeded my expectations was spotless the staff was amazing and the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in.
