a year agoThe view and the hotel is very nice. But the behaviour of the cook and the food is worst among all the home stays I stayed in Sikim . We stayed empty stomach at dinner and left the food at table. The chicken was not cooked well, some had still raw blood ,the roti was like made of leather. And only a small boy was serving food who had no knowledge of the guests food order.food is very important in hills as u cant have them at night outside.

a year agoOnly good thing is the location and view. Cons: Rooms are pretty small No ventilation in bathroom Staff behavior is pathetic, actually there are no staffs in this property to help out guests. You can get a room in 1st/2nd floor and be asked to carry your own luggages. You are asked to get your own water for room from ground floor dining area. Anything you ask for, son of the owner who sits at this property will say "this is self help" Property.( sits like a king"). Added a photo of bathroom, where pipe from washbasin is kept open. When I checked, used towel was kept hanging inside bathroom, which means rooms was handed over without cleaning at all. So, overall not at all recommended specially with family trip.

a year agoThe homestay is located in front river Rongpo. The great river view rooms are truely mesmerizing. You can enjoy river view from the hotel room. The staffs are cooperative, food was good, room was clean. But some rooms are without geyser facility, you can request them to provide hot water when needed. The place is calm and peaceful.
