Guest Reviews
- Jiří (10/5): -
- Jamie (10/5): Love this homestay - Very homey that I really did feel like im home away from home. The place is very clean, the comforter was definitely comforting. the owner was very accommodating and helped us even during wee hours. The location may be a little hard to find for some especially if you’re arriving at darker hours and the streets are a little too narrow. But the owner will give you instruction and you can ask the cab driver to talk to the owner too for the location.
- Xu (10/5): - The hosts are incredibly welcoming and helpful (providing a SIM card, bank details, transportation, a day trip, and everything else I had questions about). I immediately felt at home. It's a very comfortable place to stay; nothing was lacking. I received many helpful tips, and we chatted like friends. I would definitely stay here again if I have the opportunity to return to Kathmandu. Thank you so much, and I hope to see you again soon!
- Kerli (10/5): Perfect choice - Very cosy stay with everything you need. The host was also super friendly and helpful. Everything good.
- Mary (10/5): Felt at home, great host, highly recommend. - Breakfast at Swagat Homestay was excellent,fresh, delicious, and made even more enjoyable by the host, whose engaging stories about Kathmandu kept us captivated.
The location is very convenient, close to the airport, with easy access to transportation. Many temples and restaurants are within walking distance, making it simple to explore and get around the city. There was nothing to dislike, we truly felt right at home throughout our stay.
- Maria (10/5): Oase van vriendelijkheid en rust in de hectiek van Kathmandu - De homestay ligt in een rustige buurt en toch dichtbij alles. De familie is heel warm, vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Het is een heerlijke plek om te verblijven in de drukte en hectiek van Kathmadu. Geen minpunten
- Cosima Maria (10/5): Best hosts in Kathmandu! - The hosts Roshani and Sugat are the best, kindest people!! It was an amazing start to my trip and they truly make you feel like family - they sat down with me so I didnt have to eat breakfast alone both mornings and helped me out even after I had left.🙏 True and lived hospitality! Everything was good - the location is perfect if you want a non touristy, local, residential area. It is close to the airport so also great for arrival and departure but to get to the sites you would need to take a short (10min) taxi ride, but thats no issue with apps like InDrive and Pathao, just ask the hosts!
- Saurabh (7/5): -
- Natallia (10/5): Tolle Unterkunft, tolle Besitzer. Bin gekommen wie ein Gast und gegangen wie ein Freund! - Die Unterkunft befindet sich nicht weit weg vom Flughafen, etwas weiter vom Tamel, aber es ist kein Problem mit Taxi das Centrum zu erreichen, und wer längere Spaziergänge mag, kann unterwegs viel sehen.
Ich habe ein Zimmer mit eigenem Bad gehabt. Das Zimmer war sauber, gemütlich, mit kleinem Balköncheen. Es gab immer heißes Wasser!
Die Besitzer Sugat und Roshani — herzens liebe Menschen!!!! Haben mich mit allen Informativen versorgt: wie man von A nach B kommt, wohin man am besten Essen geht etc., Kontakte gegeben für Bus fahren von Kathmandu nach Pokhara, Chitwan…, Trekkings Unternehmen. Ich dürfte meinen Koffer in dem Homestay lassen, als in die Trekking gemacht habe und andere Städte besucht habe.
Ich habe mit bei Sugat und Roshani wie zuhause gefühlt! Dafür bin ich sehr dankbar! Und wenn ich nächstes Mal in Kathmandu bin, weiß ich schon, wo ich bleibe!
Sie besitzen noch ein Restaurant, da kann man auch gut essen gehen.👍🏼 —

- XEVI (10/5): Días Familiares y acogedores. - Ambiente cálido y familiar, lugar acogedor para utilizar de campo base en Katmandú. La familia que lo regenta os apoyará en todo lo que necesitéis.
- Makiko (8/5): - とても親切でした! 少し寒かったです。
- Indira (9/5): Lovely, comfortable and peaceful place to stay in Kathmandu - We had a lovely stay at Swagat. The location is great, conveniently near the airport but tucked away in a residential area. We were the only tourists around so all the locals knew that we were guests here and were super friendly, the area felt really safe. Sugat and Roshani were great hosts and the rooms were super comfortable.
- Han (10/5): Very cosy in a real Nepali neighbourhood and friendly hosts - Breakfast was very good host was very friendly and informative. Besides that: the location is very good especially when you want to stay in a real Nepali atmosphere and neighbourhood out of the tourist zone.
When my wife had an ankle injury host immediately reserved groundfloors appartement without extra costs.
- Kadir (10/5): - Staff and close to airport
- Julian (10/5): -
- Zac (8/5): - It felt very traditional and not very touristy. The shower experience wasnt the best.
- Iona (10/5): Wonderful hosts, quiet location. - Friendly hosts who were happy to help with everything! Room was spacious with everything needed. Breakfast was a very tasty omelette. Location was a little out of the tourist area which we liked as it was very quiet and you felt very safe. Nothing!
- sigrid (10/5): Es ist wie in ein warmes Nest zu fallen - Alles- besser geht es nicht!! Unglaublich freundlicher Empfang und Betreuung . Eine selten so erlebte Gastfreundschaft.
- Iván (10/5): Atención excepcional! - El hotel nos encantó, pero lo que realmente marcó la diferencia fue el gerente. Siempre dispuesto a ayudarnos y a darnos sugerencias sobre qué ver y hacer, hizo que nuestra estancia fuera mucho más fácil y agradable. Un día incluso nos preparó un desayuno local para sorprendernos y hacernos sentir especiales, ¡todo un detalle! El ambiente es acogedor y el personal muy amable. Sin duda, lo recomendamos para quienes buscan un lugar con buena atención y un toque personal que haga que la estancia sea memorable.
- sigrid (10/5): Ein herzliches Willkommen an einem so schönen Ort im quirligen Kathmandu - Alles!! Habe mich selten so wohl gefühlt!!
- Cristina (10/5): - I made the best decision to book at Swagat homestay because my stay was perfect. The location is outside Thamel which I like because the area is quiet and safe.
Sugat and Roshi were the warmest and kindest hosts. They welcomed me into their home and made sure I was comfortable, safe and having a great time in Kathmandu.
They were also kind enough to store my luggage while I go on another trip. The place is secured and homely. Stay was short. I'll make sure to stay longer next time.
- Cafarova (10/5): - I spent 1 night there after a very long travel. Sugat and his wife were so kind and helpful to me. It was my first travel to Nepal. I had a delicious breakfast and get very good information about country from them. Room was clean and quiet. It is a lovely place to stay. I recommend.
- enrico (10/5): Amazing!!!!! - Struttura perfetta e famiglia incredibile. Colazione super
- Darek Florczak (9/5): - Not in the tourist trap
- Elvira (10/5): Uitstekend - De gastheer en gastvrouw voorzien je van alle informatie die je nodig hebt! Ze reageren snel op WhatsApp. De homestay ligt in een rustige en veilige buurt. Het is geen toeristische buurt en dat vinden wij fijn. Wij vonden het soms wat lastig om een restaurant in de buurt te vinden. Een taxi rit lost dit op.
- Yi (10/5): Exceptional - had a wonderful stay at Swagat Home Stay in Kathmandu. The location is excellent — tucked in a quiet alley in the heart of the city, it offers a peaceful retreat while still being close to everything you need. Unlike the busy Thamel area, staying here gave us a more authentic experience of local life. Shops, food stalls, and daily necessities were all just a short walk away.
What made the stay truly special was the warm hospitality. The host lady prepared delicious homemade breakfasts for us every morning and always welcomed us with a smile. She took time to chat with us, sharing stories about Nepali culture and giving helpful travel tips. Her kindness and care really made us feel at home.
If you’re looking for a place that’s affordable, peaceful, and filled with heart, I highly recommend Swagat Home Stay.
- Marion (10/5): Great place with very nice host 🤗 - Nice and cosy place with very welcoming hosts!
We had great talks about lots of things!
Big plus : there is a small kitchen where you can cook ;-)
- Anurag (10/5): Exceptional - Ideal location and very well maintained
- Pál (10/5): Exceptional - The overall feeling is like to have a sleepover at your friends house. Welcoming family, always smiling and have kind words to everyone.
The owner prepares the breakfast and after asking where can we find mangoes she bought for us the next morning. If you ask for recommendations from the owners they can advise which places worth visiting. (temples, restaurants, Bazaar, and more)
Fabulous place, RECOMMENDED 👌👌👌
- Luca (10/5): Exceptional - I had the pleasure of being hosted by Sugat and Roshani. I was welcomed more like a friend than a guest. Thank you, it was a fantastic experience, I can't wait to return.
- Mateusz (10/5): We had a great time, very hospitable family. Next time in Kathmandu I will choose this place again. - Delicious breakfast, big, clean and comfotable room, everything was perfect.
- Russell (9/5): A great place to start your Nepal adventure. - so glad I read reviews and chose Swagat homestay as my first stop in Nepal. everything was great from pick up at airport till when I left 4 days later. Away from the tourist area you get the feeling you are accepted by locals as just another person. A reasonable hike into town if you like walking or there are options to make it easier. Sugat and Roshani are a fountain of info and really personable. I will come back here after my stint at Kopan Monastery. Nothing to complain about, I suppose a bit of a walk to restraunts but discoverying more as time passes.
- Petr (10/5): Exceptional -
- Alessandra (10/5): Exceptional - The owner was very helpful and gave us all the useful information, truly a pleasant person!
- Pol (9/5): Superb! - Location and the reviews made me stay there and it was a good choice!
Sugat is helpful and attentive.
- Oscar (10/5): Exceptional -
- Valentina (10/5): Warm hearts, real places, and the best breakfast! - It’s like visiting the home of super friendly friends who give you great advice, are incredibly welcoming, and even make you a delicious and healthy breakfast! We had such a great time. The neighborhood felt so genuine, full of real places and people, not some fake tourist version for Westerners. Really happy we stayed here! -
- Jacob (10/5): Perfect stay in Kathmandu - I had a lovely time staying at this homestay. Sugat and Roshani are amazing hosts and made me feel very comfortable, and they are great to chat to in the mornings over breakfast. They also kindly kept my luggage safe while I went trekking. It’s a beautiful house in a nice relaxed neighbourhood. It’s also very close to the airport so a perfect place to stay after or before a flight. Everything was perfect
- Marta (10/5): Exceptional - Homstay owners are super nice.
The owner gave me a lot of useful information about the area, currency exchange, bus to Pokhara. It is possible to pick up from the airport ($ 15) and there was no problem with early check in.
The room was very cozy with warm water. And tasty breakfast
The neighborhood is quiet and safe.
- Michael (10/5): I would highly recommend this wonderful guesthouse. - How extremely helpful the host and hostess are and the property’s location for me was splendid. Breakfast with a smile and a chat each morning. I will be back :)
- Dolendo (9/5): Superb - The owner was so caring and treated you as a family member. The facility is so cleaned and comfortable. Besides that it is near to the airport.
- Jean (10/5): GREAT stay by very friendly helpfull hosts - GREAT, GREAT that was our stay and to short. Sugat and his wife are the PERFECT host. Near the main street but no traffic noise. Sugat explane everything you want to hear and is very helpfull.
We where the first guests off 2025 so we get a free room update.
Also he has on 7 min with taxi a very good restaurant.
Recommend Swagat Home Stay 1000% to everyone
- Dmitry (10/5): Exceptional - At this hotel, you’ll feel not just at home but like part of a close-knit family during your stay.
The friendly couple who run the place go above and beyond to make you feel welcome, offering care and support with anything you might need.
The rooms are spacious, spotless, and well-equipped, with comfortable furnishings and a modern bathroom featuring a hot shower. Electricity is reliable, and the internet connection is fast and stable.
Breakfast is excellent, and there’s always free drinking water available for guests.
The hotel is located in a quiet area, tucked away from the noise of the main streets. It’s about a 30-minute walk to Thamel and just a 10-15 minute taxi ride from the airport, which typically costs 500-700 rupees.
This is a wonderful place to stay, and I can confidently recommend it. You’ll leave with only positive impressions!
- Matúš (10/5): Great place for stay in Káthmandú, Sugat and his wife will do everything for you - - nice breakfast
- free update for a better room
- nice location, just in the middle of Káthmandú
- Anne (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rubina (10/5): Homey, comfortable and relaxed - Cosy, and homey. Sugat and his wife Roshani make you feel like their home is yours. They are so personable with you and always ready to help, be it by making a fresh breakfast each morning or give you tips on Kathmandu or anything else you may need. This really is the perfect relaxed and welcoming place to stay in Kathmandu. Nothing.
- Gerhild (9/5): Superb - Sugat was very helpful, friendly. It was a pleasure to meet him and his family.
- Anthony (10/5): Very good - swagat homestay - All was good. The owner and her wife was very kindness and we laughed a lot. He help us when we arrived and all was very easy after that.

- Chris (8/5): Very good - Lovely people - nice room. Not much by way of cafe/bars nearby.
- Aurélien (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing homestay in Katmandu. Sugat and his wife gaves me a wonderful welcoming. He proposed to pick me up at the airport whereas I arrived very late and they helped me to plan my trek in the Annapurnas. Thanks a lot and see you soon!
- Mark (10/5): If you get a chance to book this homestay do not hesitate you will not regret it - The breakfast was nice and reflected the price I paid for the room and was value for money,sugat and rosia couldnt off been more helpful,they went above and beyond to help me,with sim card for my phone and my trip to trek the annapurna circuit,as I was traveling alone for my first time in nepal I couldnt of chose a more perfect place to stay There was nothing I didnt like
- Lilian (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderful family homestay in the heart of Kathmandu. The owners are so kind and helpful, we loved our chats in the morning. The homestay is located in a lovely calm non touristy area. Take the small streets to walk to durbar square or Tamel and you will be able to see the local life - we loved it!
- Alain (10/5): Exceptional - Sugat and Roshani are marvellous host taking care of everyone and ready to share about their country and culture
Super good breakfast
Don't forget to go to their restaurant Jaracanda Tree Garden a cool place with tasty food Nothing
- Johannes (10/5): On Top - This was really a very beautiful stay in a very quiet corner in Kathmandu. Sugat and his wife are so neat
and heartful, they really have won a place in my heart. They help you in any kind of wishes and make a
stay in their house so wonderful.
The rooms are so beautiful and very clean, they offer a nice sitting space and the Wifi is strong..
Their home has a fixed place in my mind, and when I come back to Kathmandu its the place I wanna be.
Thanks from my heart for this experience.
Johannes from Germany Absolutely nothing negative
- Filip (10/5): Quiet place in hectic city - We stayed cor one night only. The room was clean, modern and comfy. Sugat was very helpful with arranging us a taxi to the airport and very thorough with welcoming us to his house. We definitely recommend this place.
- Pauline (10/5): Exceptional - Had a great stay at the Homestay! The owners are very friendly and helpful. The beds are comfortable and the room and bathroom are very clean.
- Johan (9/5): Excellent homestay in Kathmandu - The location of the homestay is very good as it's central but in a residential area where it's calm. Staying at a homestay is a great way to get an idea of how locals live. Swagat means welcome in Nepali and having stayed at this homestay twice during my trip to Nepal I must say that the name is very fitting. The owners - Sugat and Roshani - went out of their way to ensure that I had a great time in Kathmandu.
- Dieter (10/5): Exceptional - The owner family is fantastic, so friendly and helpful. Breakfast is good. Pickup service from the Airport is possible.
Thank you so much!
- Anthony (10/5): Exceptional - Very welcoming and helpful Family
Good accommodation
Very clean
Good breakfast and advice!
Thanks
- Roy (10/5): Accommodating, friendly! - First and foremost we couldn’t recommend a stay with Sugat (the owner) any more!
Very welcoming family, with it being our first time in the area and not knowing much we required some help, with Sugat it felt like we had our own local guide with the amount of information and guidance he gave us!
We felt he went the extra mile by booking our bus/taxi journey out of town for us, also accompanying our taxi drivers over the phone to locate his place for us! (As it is a remote area).
We would also like to mention mention the food at his second hotel, notably the buff mo mo dish was incredible! Highly recommend heading there!
Would most definitely return! Absolutely nothing! Great stay!
- Clara (10/5): Warm family caring - Swagat and Roshani made me feel at home. Cozy, welcoming and caring family. I arrived super late at night from a log bus trip that was delayed and they where expecting me and keeping track of my journey. Really appreciated. The room is big and super comfy, amazing hot shower and friendly breakfast with small talk every day :) Even though I just stayed for 3 days I would rather spend more days. Well located to explore the est of Kathmandu, and close to Thamel (30 min walking). The neighborhood is calmed and beautiful to discover the city off the center.
- Eliška (9/5): Superb - Family accommodation, very nice owners, nice and clean rooms, accommodation in good distance from the airport.
- Isabel (10/5): Best place to stay in Kathmandu - I highly recommend Swagat Homestay for long term trips. The breakfast is really good and the family is so lovely and helpful! I actually stayed here for two months, and I found the entire experience very convenient. There's lots of local restaurants around and a local vegetable market about 5 minute walk from the homestay. There's also a kitchen which I used every evening to cook dinner. Sugat and Roshani are wonderful people and gave me loads of advice on what to do during my stay and how to get places. I had both a friend and my father come and stay with me at different points during the two months I was in Nepal, and they also loved their stays:) I'm really going to miss it here! nothing.
- Marit (9/5): Superb -
- Regina (10/5): Great stay and very nice people - Everything perfect. Lovely environment Anything!
- Mauro (10/5): Exceptional - The support received from the owners is incredible !
- Theophile (10/5): Exceptional - Very welcoming and helpful family. The rooms are comfortable and clean. It is also located in a quiet part of town, for a better local experience and cheaper prices, while being not too far from the center either. 100% recommend for relaxing after a trek.
- L.m.m.van (10/5): Great Homestay! I would recommend it! - They where so friendly, kindly and welcoming!
They tell you all about the area!
- Arbin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Cabral (10/5): Exceptional - Very kind staff and great breakfast, I would definitely come back
- Sini (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect. I loved my little colorful room. Good bed, good sleep. Nice location and friendly hosts. Very clean whole house and the outdoor terrace area was so cool. Warm water in the shower. I stayed three nights but could have stayed longer. -
- Lenka (10/5): Exceptional - Great accommodation in a quiet place, but still close to a main road. Sugat and Roshani are very kind and nice. All was perfect.
- Moritz (10/5): Exceptional - Very friendly
- Vikki (10/5): Excellent value - Nothing was too much trouble, went above and beyond to help plan our trip Nothing
- Sapna (10/5): Exceptional -
- Emilie (10/5): Excellent - The hosts are super helpfull and welcoming. They told us everything we needed to know about nepalese culture and gave us advice on what to see.
- Floris (10/5): Sugat and Roshani will naturally make you feel at home. - For me the best part were Sugat and Roshani, whose Homestay it is. Every morning at breakfast I would speak to one or both of them which made me feel welcome and at ease. It also made it very easy for me to ask any questions I had about for example where to go for a specific bus or place to visit, or even having Sugat help me book the bus to Pokhara. While I was gone for a few days, I could leave my bigger bag at their place.
They were a fantastic support! 🙏
- Vollaard (8/5): Very good - Very kind. The owner picked me up at the airport. Nice conversations. Very good price. De luxe studio was perfect. De place was away from te noises. And you can sit in the sun on the roof.
- Manohara (9/5): Superb -
- Jahangir (10/5): Jahangir - Freindly ,courteous, and helpful owener.so neat and hygienic.
Reasonably priced. Nothing
- Jose (10/5): Very pleasant stay - What I liked the most was how helpful the hosts are with advices, sorting things out for us in regards to day trips and super available. I feel like you can get an experience closer to what living in Nepal is as oppose to go to a standard hotel. Meeting his family was without doubt a magnificent surprise. The breakfast is outstanding as well, and you should definitely try Sugat’s restaurant, the food is amazing and the venue has the best environment, relaxed and romantic as well :)
Thank you for time we spent there!
- Gunnur (8/5): Peaceful, comfortable place to stay out of the city center. - The owner and his wife were so friendly and helpful. They have answered all our questions and they gave us great advices about Katmandu and Nepal. We were generally happy about the property, the only thing that you need to be mindful is the main door that’s hight is pretty low.
- Shu (10/5): Exceptional - The very friendly host, who is the owner, provided me with a lot of advice on traveling around Kathmandu. The breakfast was on par.
- Domenico (10/5): Exceptional - I asked for a late check in since my flight was scheduled in the night, and they allowed it without problems!
Good environment inside and outside the property.
- Terry (10/5): The perfect Homestay! - Location is in a quiet area, it was “just like home” with Roshani and Sugat. Nice to return to the quiet at night, away from the business of other Kathmandu areas. Roshani and Sugat are both very accommodating and kind. Was easy to communicate via whats app before and during stay.
An short walk to main road and from there, walk, (or taxi) to many of the points of interest in and around Kathmandu. Roshani and Sugat were very helpful with directions, banking, SIM card, use of taxi app, places to eat and see etc etc. Lovely hosts!
- Adarsha (10/5): Exceptional - I recently enjoyed a delightful 4-day stay at a homestay in Kathmandu, and I must say it was a fantastic experience. The rooms were not only aesthetically pleasing but also comfortable, providing a perfect retreat after a day of exploring.
The hosts were exceptionally helpful, offering us valuable suggestions for exploring the best of Kathmandu and its surroundings. Their insights added a personal touch to our trip, making it more memorable.
Overall, our stay was very good, and I would highly recommend this homestay to anyone looking for a cozy and welcoming accommodation in Kathmandu.
- Chiara (10/5): Everything was perfect ! Thank you for let me use the kitchen early morning before my leaving ! Super nice welcoming pla -
- Samuel (10/5): Exceptional - Really friendly owners. I left the luggage at the homestay while trekking.
- Cissy (10/5): A new home in Kathmandu - We loved our stay with Sugat and Roshani, it was amazing! The first day we arrived in Kathmandu Sugat could pick us up at the airport and we immediately felt at home. They have a beautiful garden and it is a very quiet peaceful place in the middle of the city. Sugat and Roshani went out of there way to help us with everything: buying bustickets to Pokhara, places we should visit, organising the trekking, getting a sim card etc. And Roshani made every moring a delicious breakfast for us! We had super nice conversations and they are very interested and caring. We liked our stay so much that we came back 4 times during our 7 week stay in Nepal and it really felt like coming home. Sugat and Roshani, thank you so much for letting us stay with you and we will definetely come back again! :DDD
- Rolf (10/5): Exeptional homestay - Very nice and helpful people, nothing is missing in the room, kitchen outside to be used my eberyone

- Nadine (10/5): Exceptional - Sugat and his whife Roshani are really friendly, warm and helpful people. Communication with Sugat in advance was perfect and he gave me a lot of information about his homestay. In generell they gave me a lot of advices for my trip and a lot of information about the culture in nepal. I loved to stay there, so that I booked more nights to stay with them. Thank you. Nothing
- Christine (10/5): Welcoming, comfortable, clean, and calm oasis in Kathmandu - The house is a tranquil oasis in a busy city. It’s not in the tourist neighborhood, so I got to see the daily life of Kathmandu residents. The hosts are kind and helpful, and the cleanliness and comfort are impeccable. I will return on my way back through Kathmandu!

- Lisa (10/5): 10 out of 10 all the way and then some! Highly recommended, great hosts who made our stay in Kathmandu a lovely experien - A very clean and comfortable room and bathroom in a good location plus an excellent breakfast. The outstanding element is the warmth, friendliness, helpfulness and kindness of the hosts Sugat and Roshani, they went above and beyond our expectations in help and advice during our stay, helping with a Nepali SIM card, topping it up for us, telling us where best to exchange currency, booking the bus to Pokhara for us when we had difficulty with the bus website, suggesting restaurants, sites to visit, organizing a taxi to nargakot, endless kindness. We also ate at the restaurant they have in Patan called the jacaranda, excellent food, a lovely setting and good prices. We can highly recommend other travelers to stay at the Swagat Homestay. There was nothing disappointing at all.
