2 years agoWe had an excellent stay in the homestay. The owner is very helpful, I would recommend staying at this property if you are visiting Lachen. The only con is that there is not a lot of variety in food, my advice will be to keep some local food items in the option as well since most people visit a homestay for the local experience.
