The Highvill Home Stay

The rooms were clean and so was the surroundings. The host was very attentive and polite. It is also a very beautifully maintained property making the stay very relaxing and pleasant. We were very happy with the service and as women tourists the stay felt very safe as well.

I'd have liked the rooms to have slightly better sound proofing as I could hear the guests from the neighbouring rooms and I'm assuming they could hear us too. While it was not a big issue for us it can be for others. This will not stop me from booking another stay if I happen to visit Khajuraho again.

Eenvoudige, maar netjes onderhouden kamers met een fijne binnenplaats en dakterras. Lekker eten en behulpzame gastheren. We waren ziek (griep). The Highvill was een goede, superbetaalbare plek om rustig weer op te knappen! Er werd voorzien in alles wat we nodig hadden.

Soms werkten dingen niet (de geiser, het electrische kacheltje) maar dat werd steeds snel opgelost. Het beddengoed en de handdoeken zijn aan vervanging toe. Het bed was erg hard.

The homely vibe

No ventilation in the washroom

La struttura è pulita e si può raggiungere facilmente (a piedi) il centro e i templi più famosi. Se si ha voglia di fare una camminata, sono raggiungibili anche quelli ad est. Il terrazzino sul tetto è carino. Le colazioni (omelette) sono buone. Lo staff è molto disponibile.

Staff cordiale ma talvolta invadente nel proporre attività extra. Suggerisco di informarsi bene prima di prenotare i loro tour o spostamenti, poiché i prezzi della struttura sono meno competitivi rispetto a quelli che si trovano facilmente in paese.

La pulizia della camera

La cena non era un granché e il mio compagno è stato male la notte

Questa piccola e accogliente guesthouse non si trova in centro, che però si raggiunge facilmente a piedi in meno di 10 minuti. I templi principali si raggiungono a piedi, max 1t minuti. Le camere sono pulite e confortevoli. Affacciano tutte su un cortiletto interno ben tenuto dove è possibile rilassarsi bevendo un tè o un caffè preparati dal uno dei due proprietari. I bagni ok, puliti e con la doccia con acqua calda sempre a disposizione e un bel getto. I proprietari parlano bene inglese e sono sempre disponibili a dare una mano. C'è anche una terrazza sul tetto dove poter cenare o prendersi una pausa. La struttura, come si vede in foto, offre vari servizi. Ottimo posto che consiglio se si soggiorna a Khajuraho.

Wonderful, friendly staff. They helped us figure out transport and they prepared the most delicious meals for us during our stay. We also really enjoyed the open courtyard with all the plants and vines and flowers. Great location, as it is walking distance to some of the attractions and restaurants but also away from the noise and hustle bustle. I visited with my family and we all wished we could stay for longer!

The staff at the property were amazing. They couldnt do enough for you with a constant smile on their faces. Very helpful with any questions, sorting out transport and booking safaris in advance. The place had a lovely ambience and homely feel.

Nothing to complain about

It’s excellent value for the price paid…it is very basic but what can you expect! If you arrive with the right expectations you won’t be disappointed in this Homestay. We stayed 4 nights & the guys who are really nice, looked after us very well..Thank you!! Going out of their way to try & organise Safaris, to buying our tickets to the Temples, took us to the shops for supplies & more importantly they got us our beer in. We ate breakfast & dinner & we enjoyed some lovely meals & are happy to report we had no adverse effects. Therefore, don’t hesitate to eat here, it was fantastic value as well… It’s about a 15-20 minute to the main temple area passing through the local area, along with the cows, goats etc. No one really hassled us until we got near the town but the hawkers are nowhere as aggressive as Delhi/Varanasi etc In summary we would recommend…

Not so much a dislike…but as we stayed for so long it would have been nice to have the offer of the room floor being swept etc…but what can you expect for the price!
