Chhotaram Prajapat Homestay

Everything about this experience was wonderful! We enjoyed being able to see what village life was like and felt welcomed from the moment we arrived. We enjoyed being able to learn about everyday life in the village and see how local traditional dishes are made. Both breakfast and dinner were amazing and being able to connect with the family and other guests over meals was very enjoyable. The rooms were a lovely getaway from the busy city and we’re comfortable and clean. We are so happy we found this property for our stay!

Lovely welcoming people, beautiful and clean spaces

Most homely I've felt outside of home. Chhotaramji makes you feel like one of their own family. Everyone we met were polite, friendly and helpful. The huts and bathrooms were clean and tidy. Very authentic Rajasthani countryside experience.

The authentic experience of living with a welcoming and friendly Indian family.

Nothing

There was loud music in the vicinity till wee hours, and the owner of the property was helpless.

We had a very good experience at this homestay and would love to come back. The village is beautiful and located away from city traffic, they also serve delicious meals. Great hospitality too!

Ambience and overall hospitality.

This was by far our best experience while in India, this place is so beautiful. This is a money cant buy experience, we will forever have these great memories from staying here.

The host was mostly on his phone and did not seem interested in talking to us. When I told his wife that my partner and I were unmarried she gave a mean look that made me feel uncomfortable and like she was judging us without understanding the culture we come from. Besides the meals offered, nothing else was offered to really make it an authentic homestay which gives the whole experience the feeling of a very over-priced hotel. We ended up just sitting in our hut most of the time trying to use the WiFi which barely functioned. And on top of all of this the food made both of us sick with diarrhea, stomach cramps, and shivers. My partner also had a headache which could be unrelated but the food was definitely the cause of my sickness because I had diarrhea a few hours after each time we ate. The food tasted delicious but I regret eating it due to the sickness after. I would definitely not recommend this “homestay” to anyone because it is not an authentic homestay. We’ve both done homestays in Peru and Thailand and have never encountered this type of dishonesty like we have here. We were the only ones staying at the time so maybe they just didn’t care but the only cultural exchange besides the overpriced meals that we got was when he briefly showed us weaving techniques but then it was soiled when he tried to pressure us into buying the rugs and what not. I don’t really know what else to say but I just hope anyone reading this will choose somewhere more honest.

This was our best experience in two weeks traveling. There is no proper A.C. so you might want to sleep outside like the family does. We played with the kids and cooked some bread over the fire. Dinner is the whole family sitting on rugs outside eating great farm food. We rode out to see antelope, flamingos, and a random monkey. Then we tried pottery the old fashioned way. We hiked to watch the sun set. This is a really nice family and a chance to see how people actually live, but if you like cushy hotels it may not be your thing. Great conversation with sons.
