a month agoHad a wonderful stay at Barsey Retreat Homestay. The host is incredibly friendly and always greets guests with a warm smile, making you feel at home from the moment you arrive. The food was delicious, the rooms were spotless and comfortable, and the views were absolutely breathtaking. What truly made the experience special was the hospitality. The hosts treat you like family rather than guests and talk to you like old friends. Their kindness, warmth, and genuine care made our stay memorable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful stay with great food, beautiful scenery, and heartfelt hospitality.

2 months agoOur family had the pleasure of spending four wonderful nights at Barsey Retreat Homestay, and the experience was truly memorable. From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed by the hosts, whose genuine hospitality and kind nature made our stay even more special. The food served was fresh, homely, and prepared with care, reflecting both quality and warmth in every meal. What stood out the most was the simplicity and sincerity of the hosts—they are truly gracious and attentive, ensuring every guest feels at home. The rooms were clean, well-maintained, and equipped with attached bathrooms, geyser facilities, and reliable power backup, offering both comfort and convenience. The location of the homestay is exceptional, with breathtaking 180° views of the valley and surrounding hills. Watching the sunrise from here was a truly divine experience. The peaceful atmosphere, pristine surroundings, and the presence of a variety of birds added to the charm of the place. We also visited Anden Monastery, which is within walking distance, making it a lovely and accessible excursion. We wholeheartedly recommend Barsey Retreat Homestay to anyone seeking a serene and authentic mountain experience, and we are already looking forward to returning during the Puja holidays.
