Weekend's stay at Zostel Homes Kotkhai (Shimla)

10.0

The hosts are very sweet and welcoming. They also offered us Plums from their own orchard as a small gift. Lovely location, peaceful vibes and a great place for someone who's looking for an escape from the city hustle.

10.0

The breakfast and other meals were freshly homemade—simple, delicious, and full of flavour. We got to try a different local dish every day, and the pricing was very reasonable and well thought out.

I liked everything about the place. The hosts were extremely nice people, we had an infant in our group and hosts were very cooperative and supportive.

Bad

1.0

This property is not in Shimla, it is at a different place which is 70km away from Shimla, so do not book it and do not expect any refund from the owner.

The behaviour!
