Très belle homestay, chambre très propre avec vue sur le lac. Le personnel très accueillant et très bonne cuisine végétarienne copieuse. Le soir on a eu une expérience avec une lunette astronomique avec le propriétaire qui est un passionné. Je recommande surtout dans ce charmant village de man.

Very good stay. We were accommodated in the new annex. We spent one night here and would definitely stay here again. Very nice hosts, very good accommodation with private bathroom and toilet. And great food. Thank you very much.

1. Loved the warmth & hospitality of the guesthouse owner's dad & the housekeeper. We had booked 2 rooms so were lucky to get the lake facing room which was heavenly, we could even see a sky full of stars from our room at night. 2. Very clean and comfortable & I was happy to get airtel coverage at the guesthouse. That's the only network currently working. 3. The simple yet delicious home cooked meal was just what we needed at an elevation of 13,861 feet, with AMS just around the corner.

− 1. While booking.com says Astrostays as the name of the guesthouse, signboards in the village say Bukpa Homestay, so do keep that in mind when traveling or you may get lost. It's right at the start of the Mann Village. 2. While the description does mention bathrooms are outside the room, would appreciated a lock and key to be handed to guests so as to avoid any other person using the same washroom. We had 2 bathrooms but unfortunately ended up using just one as we found a tribal folk using one of the washrooms the following morning. 3. While the place is called Astrostays and description said the owner had a telescope for some star gazing, we didn't end up meeting the person who owned the telescope as he was working elsewhere and "might" have come back at 11pm that night, a slight disappointment as we were looking forward to a good night of star gazing.

I feel compelled to warn you about this place.

Beware! Beware! Beware! Astrostays refused to refund my advance payment when the road was inaccessible due to weather. They also ignored Booking.com’s request on my behalf. Ladakh is a wonderful place and Ladakhi’s are deeply kind and honest. Sadly, Astrostays prioritizes cold hard cash and is a stain on Ladakh and Ladakhi goodwill.

− My only bad experience in Ladakh! The road to Astrostays was inaccessible due to weather. Despite multiple texts back and forth, Astrostays refusal to refund my advance payment. Their addiction to cold hard cash over customer goodwill leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
