Guest Reviews

• Toshiyuki (6/5): - 部屋は広くゆったりとしていました。
• Sarah (8/5): - Great A/C Loud family with reels playing until 2am; no one at reception
• Michael (8/5): - Great location for the Taj Mahal and very good value for money. Strong WiFi. A little rough around the edges and communication with the owner was a little tricky but nothing that affected a great stay
• Aubin (10/5): Séjour agréable je recommande - Très pratique, proche du Taj Mahal (~15mn) à pied Pas loin non plus de Kinari Bazar Propre, salle de bain avec le nécessaire Les propriétaires sont très aimables
• Lilian (9/5): -
• Youssef (10/5): - Personnel accueillant, souriant, serviable Proximité de Taj Mahal La propreté des toilettes.
• Rahul t (10/5): Nice staff behaviour - Everything is excellent I liked everything
• Jose Carlos (1/5): - La cama era muy muy dura, horrible para descansar
• Daniele (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent hotel, located on a quiet little street right in the city center, with bars and restaurants just around the corner and only a 10-minute walk from the Taj Mahal. Unusually clean (which we really appreciated). The owners are incredibly kind and helpful. Highly recommended!
• Packer (9/5): Superb - Host was always available to help. Very friendly The toilet failed to flush several times
• Vipin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Vicky (8/5): Very good -
• Richard (10/5): It was a blessing to stay here - It was a blessing to stay here
• George (7/5): Good -
• Clare (8/5): Great budget stay - Great little home stay, very clean & comfy. We were only there 1 night but it was sufficient for our needs. The couple that run it have very little English but were very pleasant & helpful No window in our room! Bit odd but not really an issue for 1 night. A simple Indian breakfast was served in our room but unfortunately it contained peanuts & I am severely allergic
• Richard (10/5): Nice room friendly host good value within walking distance to east gate - Nice room friendly host
• Jane (8/5): We only were in Agra for the Taj Mahal, would stay here again for location, budget and friendly people - Property was excellent location for the Taj Mahal, staff friendly and room was clean Bed was very hard and hot water was a challenge to use
• Sophie (8/5): Very good - The room was very quiet away from the noisy streets. Host were friendly, everything was very clean, in a good location not far from Taj Mahal. Shower is with bucket but it’s ok
• Umesh (7/5): Good - No drinking water No soap/ Shampoo
• Benjamin (10/5): Exceptional value - Wonderful caring staff. Good vibes as soon as you arrive. Relaxed and quiet family atmosphere. Spotlessly clean. No issues.
• Bill (5/5): Great location but needs improving - The location is great, really close to the Taj Mahal and restaurants. The bathroom was a bit grotty, with the shower spraying more upwards than downwards. Unfortunately there was a nasty smell coming from the open street sewer. The bed was very comfy, and the host very helpful especially when we had a panic because our train was running 3.5 hours late
• Hana (10/5): Exceptional - Pleasant, clean, quiet accommodation a short distance from the western gate of the Taj Mahal. The room where we slept had a comfortable bed, where we had a wonderful rest from the city bustle. The hosts are very pleasant, willing to help (arranging a taxi, etc.)We will definitely return on our next visit to Agra
• Bas (7/5): Good homestay, but avoid the transport - The room and bed was comfortable, and good location - in walking distance of Taj Mahal. Easy communication and a nice owner too Do not accept pick ups or drop offs at the station! The tuktuk driver they work with will try and overcharge you
• Viera (10/5): Nice stay - Good location next to Taj Mahal. Owners are realy very kind and friendly, we could have early checkin and late checkout. Clean room with large bed and hot water. The area arround accomodation is clean too. Bathroom could be better.
• Pavel (10/5): Exceptional - This is the first place in India where i slept really well. The room was the in the end of their property away from street , like in a bunker 😄
• Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
• Dharmaseelan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nisar (9/5): Superb -
• Bhargav (10/5): Exceptional -
• Caro (9/5): Recommended - Location is perfect! Quiet yet close to the Taj. Owner is very friendly and can help arrange transport if needed. Rooms were clean. Bathroom is small.
• Arthur (6/5): Great location but questionable cleanliness and comfort - Very close to Taj Mahal, helpful staff Shower didn’t work, towel wasn’t clean, extra sheet wasn’t provided and bath mat was wet on arrival
• Anisha (7/5): Recommend for a short stay in Agra if you don’t mind noise - Stayed here for a couple nights in Jan. The location is great as it is only a 10 min walk to the Taj Mahal East Gate. The room was basic but comfortable (was pretty cold, but it is Winter). Staff are very friendly and quick to reply to messages/queries. Overall room is good value for what you pay. There is no soundproofing so it is very noisy with people shouting / shutting doors from 5am to 11pm. There is also no hot water from the shower, there’s a hot and cold tap under this so we mixed the water into a jug provided and used that as a shower which was fine.
• Das (10/5): Exceptional -
• Franco (7/5): Clean room, great location but terrible bathroom - Great location, the Taj Mahal is a 10 minute walk from the homestay. The room was clean and spacious. The bathroom borders that of the other room, and the thin wall that separates them does not reach the ceiling. This means that in theory it’s possible to stand up on the toilet bowl and have a clear view of the neighbour’s toilet! Even the smallest sounds from the other room can be heard, not to mention the total lack of privacy. No hot shower, hot water runs only from one tap, which makes it very hard to wash yourself. On top of that, to get hot water you need to turn on a gas tank that is outside the room! The sink is so small that even brushing the teeth is hard. Finally, the toilet seat was broken. The bathroom needs lot of improvement!
• Prakash (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent homestay!! The host Mr Rajan is extremely warm, kind and gentle. My stay was comfortable, pleasant and peaceful!! If you are looking for a great place to stay, then definitely go for this homestay!!
• Navruz (10/5): Exceptional - The homestay was amazing, clean and the owner was very kind. The price was great and the location is convenient. Highly recommend to everyone. The water was a bit dirty, maybe it’s the issue of the city itself.
• Barry (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anirban (9/5): Superb - This Homestay is located right next to the east gate of Taj Mahal, just 7 mins walking distance. It has a homely atmosphere. Rajan and family, the hosts are very helpful. There are ample no. of veg and non veg restaurants nearby. The rooms are comfortable, geyser, AC is available and this stay is true value for money. Highly recommended.
• Luna (10/5): Exceptional - Room is very clean. Owner goes out of his way to help you. His wife cooks good food. The only issue is the hot water only goes out from the tap not the shower hose from above so can only take hot shower from bucket.
• Subhamoy (10/5): Exceptional -
• Joanna (10/5): Exceptional - Very good location, only 10mins walk from Taj Mahal, very clean inside, lovely and helpful host. Separated taps for hot and cold water in the shower, extremely hard to have a warm shower
• Diego (10/5): wish all budget home stays were exactly like blessings - great location within walking distance from the taj mahal run by a friendly family that make you feel safe and comfortable. room itself was very hygienic and clean, smelled very good and was decorated nicely creating a better atmosphere than you usually see at home stays for the price. for what you pay for, you get everything you need and more to be in agra! could not figure out the hot water in the bathroom, though i didn’t try asking the host since we only stayed for one night.
• Joachim (10/5): Exceptional - The room was clean and located less than 10 minutes walking from the eastern gate of the Taj Mahal. The host is really nice and will help you with anything

• Deekshith (10/5): Exceptional - Super friendly host, he picked us up early in the morning at 05:15 am (charged extra) and made all the effort to make our trip better. Property was as described and just in the walking distance of the Beautiful Taj.
• Khandaker (8/5): Very good -
• Vilar (8/5): Very good - Clean room. Lovely family. Good location and quiet place.
• Singh (10/5): Exceptional -
• Huseyn (8/5): Very good - Good ventilation and location Bathroom maybe better with hot water
• Debolina (9/5): Will stay again if I revisit - Great location, walking distance from Taj Mahal. Beds were huge, can easily fit 3 people but it is not allowed while booking. One of the toilets was very small, not that big of a problem. And in that one the water pressure was really low. Since we had a short stay, it was adjustable.
• Grace (10/5): Lovely, cosy, cool ensuite close to Taj Mahal - The owner was very friendly and was happy to meet all our needs, extra refrigerated bottled water and taxis to the airport for reasonable prices. The bedroom was comfortable and spacious and the private bathroom was simple and everything functioned well. The shower pressure was quite low but there was a bucket and jug provided to make washing easier.
• Stöhr (10/5): Nice host in perfect location - I liked everything :) the owner is really nice and friendly and made my stay there really comfortable. The room is big and cozy and there is also a coach to have dinner. In the morning his wife made the best breakfast I had since a really long time. As well he took care that the uber motorcycle will pick me up directly at this place. The location is also perfect because you can walk to the Taj Mahal in 10 minutes to be there at 5.30 am to avoid the crowds and the heat :)
• William (9/5): Superb - The family is very friendly The breakfast is good and they will make you discover good veggie food The location, very quiet and close to Taj Mahal but also to a village where the streets and people are nice and colourful! The AC was working quite well The owner also transported me to the train station early in the morning ! The bed and pillow were not comfortable: very tough.
• Sathyan (7/5): Good - Walkable distance to Taj Very narrow way
• Aaron (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kiley (10/5): Very comfortable, excellent location, super helpful and friendly owner - Excellent location. Only a short walk to the Taj Mahal. Very clean and comfortable, however the best thing about the property was the owner Minesh. He was very kind and helpful and could not do enough for us. He offered us food and drink and offered to go to town to get us any food we wanted. He was so kind. When we went to leave we realised that our train had been delayed by 7hrs, Minesh helped us book new train tickets, which as a foreigner is very difficult to do. We managed to get a train two hours later. We are so grateful, thank you. 🙏 Nothing
• Amalu (9/5): Superb -
• Chakraborty (10/5): Exceptional -
• Traveller_prav (10/5): Very good stay near Taj Mahal and big thank you to Host Rajan. - Room was neat and comfortable and very close to Taj Mahal. Rajan is a wonderful host and helped with planing with Mathura/Vrindavan trip as Taj Mahal was clsoed on friday which i was unaware of when arrived. He also helped with tour guiide on Taj Mahal visit next day. We had arrived late night (1AM early morning) and Rajan came personally to receive to avoid any issues in checkin. He is indeed a super host. There is construction going on hence surroubding area was bit dusty. But that did not bother us much.
• Kate (9/5): Superb - The owner is very cooperative and the room was very clean and neat
• Deep (9/5): Superb - The behaviour of the owner. NA
• Yelmurat (10/5): Wonderful owner and stay just walking distance to Taj - Great place near Taj Mahal
• Elliot (8/5): Good place to stay near the Taj - Walking distance from Taj Mahal east entrance. Very kind and helpful owner. So far there is no sign showing the place (the owner told me he's planning to do it soon). The location on Google Maps / Booking map is perfectly correct. You'll see a sign on the house for a chartered accountant. That's here.
• Ajay (10/5): Amazing place to stay - It was an amazing experience staying at this homestay as it's just at a walkable distance to Taj mahal east gate. The host is really good and helpful in providing all the required room services and he has a good understanding of the tourist places in agra and ways to explore them. Highly recommended. Nothing as such.
• Ramiro (10/5): Exceptional - The cleanest place I've been in India! Clean sheets, new towels, new and comfortable mattress. TV, good wi-fi. Hot water 24hrs. The location is great 10 minutes walking to Taj Mahal, nice, safe and calm area, restaurants very close. The Owner is gentle and kind. The best place to stay in Agra. Totally recommendable. Great relation price- benefits
• Simi (10/5): Exceptional - The stay was pleasant, and its proximity to the Taj Mahal was an added bonus. If you're travelling on a budget, this could be the ideal place for you to stay.
• Shilpa (10/5): Wonderful and Excellent stay - Really wonderful person Mr Rajan and his staff. Rajan helped us and very caring for guests. He guided us as if one of our family member throught stay. Had local sightseeing and really enjoyed with him.We stayed around 2 nights , room was clean, well maintained. Thankyou Bhayya Nothing
• Helloseem1997 (10/5): Exceptional - The host is awesome. He gave us all kinds of insider tips, and made our stay enjoyable.
• Starc (10/5): Exceptional - The room was clean as well as the environment was very peaceful and this location is on walking distance to tajmahal . The owner helped a lot and told all about Agra and surroundings and other historical monuments .It was a very comfortable stay there, there was all good.
• Oaindrila (10/5): Home close to TajMahal - The guest house is close to TajMahal east gate, which makes it easy to visit TajMahal early in the morning. The place made me feel like home since it's a homestay & the owner can provide home made food at a nominal cost. He went out of his way to help us and make us feel comfortable. I would definitely recommend this place to anybody who wishes to visit Tajmahal. Nothing.
