Mysa Maya Homestay 12Mins Walk to Mall Road

Quiet environment. Nice view over the city and over the mountains (unfortunately it was cloudy during our stay)

Too far from the city centre because the car traffic is always jammed. It's better to walk though not very nice because of the road conditions.

Good staff. Excellent driver

Access road could be better

Aaryasangh and his team went above and beyond to make our stay in Darjeeling fantastic. Aaryasangh personally took us to St Joseph’s North Point to see where my father-in-law went to school. His knowledge and experience made the day special for my wife. The team organised trips for us to Tiger Hill, tree plantations and local pine forests and on our last day we made momos together which was fabulous. I couldn’t rate them more highly.

Very comforting and accommodating hosts. Aarya and his father both ensured that our pre arrival travel needs, stay and local sight seeing was taken care perfectly well and gave us good homely breakfast as well. Decent and clean room and they provided us a heater on nominal daily charges as the cold was not bearable for us. Nice cozy and warm place and we felt like home.

This is a challenge one has to be prepared when staying on a hill station and that is to climb a few narrow stairs. I enjoyed but a bit tricky for my family. But we all adjusted very well as there are two entrance points and the other one has barely 6 stairs and a 40m stretch of gradual slope which is comfortable.

I recently stayed at what was advertised as a homestay but turned out to be more like a subpar hotel. Here are the main issues I encountered: 1. **Misleading Description**: This is not a homestay but rather a hotel without any room service.Everything available at extra cost even room cleaning. 2. **Unclear Directions**: There were no proper guidelines for navigating from the homestay to the main road, making it difficult to find transportation. 3. **Exorbitant Cab Fees**: The owner charged 3500 for a cab from Darjeeling to Bagdogra airport, even though the standard rate is 2500. After a verbal confrontation, he reduced the price to 3000.Homestay owner takes commision on every Cab bookings.God knows how much he loots foreigners. 4. **No Room Service**: There was no room service, and basic amenities like a kettle or glasses were missing. 5. **Unreasonable Charges**: I was charged 100 rupees for bread and butter, which is excessive.Also you will have to buy drinking water that too in double price. Never experienced this in any of the homestays where ever I stayed. 6. **Poor Maintenance**: The room was not cleaned during our three-night stay, and the bed linen was never changed. 7. **Lack of Kitchen Access**: Despite booking a homestay to access a kitchen for our baby, we were denied access.It is always locked only owner can access it. 8. **Inadequate Facilities**: The bathroom is very small, the shower didn’t work, and one night there was no water available, forcing us to use cold mineral water for our baby, which was unacceptable. Netflix does not work its outdated TV. 9. **False Advertising**: The pictures and reviews online are misleading. This is part of a group of homestays with no personal attention, and you will need to call them on their phone for any assistance.( only if they pick up the call in the first attempt otherwise keep trying ) 10.

Very cozy, the owners make you feel like home

The host are great in terms of addressing your queries. They assist you well with the local tourism. Help you manage the cars and are well connected with good drivers who take you around for site seeing.

There was shortage of water for sometime. The bathroom needs little better arrangements. The hand faucet is not correctly placed. It is inconvenient to use. Also they just provide one small soap which we have to use for hand wash as well as bath. I think they should put a dettol liquid handwash for good in the bathroom.
