No blaring music. No loud crowds. In fact, no crowds at all. Just peace and quiet. You might hear birds chirping, wind rustling the leaves, some distant voices… it’s all very peaceful. You can spend some quality time with your family or friends. Even when alone, this is a good way to gather up your thoughts and enjoy the time. Mindful vacationing all the way!
7. Delicious Food
At our homestay, we take great pride in our kitchen, where we prepare delicious and healthy meals using locally sourced and organically grown ingredients. Our menu is customized to your taste and preferences, and we cook in traditional styles to provide an authentic and homely atmosphere. Many of our dishes are our family recipes, passed down from generation to generation, and we have also learned some interesting dishes from our guests.
We believe in running an open kitchen, where guests are welcome to observe, ask questions, and even participate in the cooking process. Our motto in the kitchen is “the more, the merrier,” and we are always happy to share our knowledge and learn something new. So if you’re interested in cooking or learning something new, feel free to join us in the kitchen. We love to create a warm and inviting atmosphere, where guests feel at home and part of our extended family.
8. Revel in Good Company / Make New Friends
At our homestay, we value the importance of building personal connections with our guests. We see ourselves as close friends, always available to offer help or company. However, we also understand the need for privacy and respect your personal space. Our team members are readily available should you require any assistance, ensuring that your stay is as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
Moreover, our homestay is located in a friendly village, where the locals are always eager to welcome new visitors. You can expect a warm and inviting atmosphere from the villagers, who are more than happy to share their way of life and traditions with you.

Plus, you get more space at a better value compared to hotels.
10. Homestays are Cool
Each homestay is a reflection of its host. Homestays have a personal touch, a homely vibe, and warmth. The place is very different. Seasoned vacationers and families now find staying in homestays cool. Far more cool factor than other standardized hotels.
