International Youth Hostel and Homestay Kurseong Bazar

Food place hospitality

Nothing to dislike

Location is very nice but road is very narrow and discomfort to reach

House keeping staff should arrive at bus stand it will be helpful for the guests

If the weather was good, it looked like I could see the good view from the room of Swastika, but I could not see clearly even the closest hill because it was too hazy. I heard from local people many times it is very hazy in April. Anyway it's not the fault of Swatika. The family running Swastika was very friendly. They have a small and beautiful family temple on the top floor, which is good for meditation. The location is very convenient, close to everything - SBI ATM, jeep stand, supermarket and tea garden.

Nothing

The view from the homestay was very nice. But one thing if we get a larger room with a balcony that would be good for us.

The stairs, because if we visit with any older person that is a Hesselfor they reach out to the Homestay.

The room was clean, central location.

Several pages of rules in the room with occasional threats of being fined 2000r for various offences, such as having own food, I don't like being told not to stay out too late (at my age), nor that all the restaurants would "close at 4-5pm" so I should eat at the homestay instead (they actually stay open till 9pm). This felt dishonest. Far too many rules for my liking, sorry. I left after one night. Also, one of the helpful arrows to the property is categorically pointing in the wrong direction, yet you will be repeatedly reprimanded that you "went too far"! Strange layout where you walk through a bedroom to access the bathroom. Didn't feel like a homestay OR a youth hostel.

Amazing homestay.
