Moses was such a lovely host! Helped us book our train tickets, provided us with a meal in the evening, and even gave us a sound bath experience! He is very cool and I highly recommend!

Exactly what we wanted for our stay in Agra! Moses setup great taj majal and Agra fort tours for us, and a great ride back to Delhi. Moses was also so kind and the property was very clean and welcoming

I would absolutely stay here again. This is a homestay, the owner and host is Moses and he is not only extraordinarily helpful but warm and kind. He helped me with directions, helping me get medicine when I needed it, and answered any questions I had. I felt very safe in the homestay as a solo female traveler and this truly felt like staying in a locals home. The Taj Majal tour that Moses does was an added bonus! STAY HERE !!

Had a great stay at Zigzag. The homestay is a short tuktuk ride from some of the places you may want to go to like the Taj Mahal etc, but the upside is that it’s a very quiet corner of Agra. Moses is a great and very helpful host, always answering messages without delay, and his tour of the Taj Mahal was absolutely worth it and made my trip. Thanks Moses!

We LOVED our stay with Moses at Zigzag homestay, Moses was extremely helpful with recommendations every day of things to do and how to get around, and was responsive on Whatsapp whenever we messaged him with a question. The rooms were nice, a little bit warm overnight without Aircon but comfortable enough. Great bathroom and shower facilities, fast wifi and a quick tuktuk ride from most attractions. We would come back if we ever return to Agra, and would recommend this to anyone!

I can’t highly recommend zigzag homestay enough. Run by Moses and his wonderful family I felt truly at home in Agra. I arrived late from Delhi and he was messaging me and waiting up for me to arrive to ensure my safety. Moses is so kind and accommodating. He was happy to help with anything throughout the duration of my stay (including train tickets, Taj Mahal tour, red fort tour, food ect). I cannot recommend this wonderful homestay enough. Thank you Moses for your generous hospitality

Rooms were comfortable and clean. Moses went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable, welcome and informed on all there is to do in Agra, Jaipur and more! Even seeing me out and about he invited me over and said hello. Would recommend staying here:)

I absolutely loved this place! It’s super beautiful and truly feels like home. You can tell it’s cared for with so much love and attention to detail. The hosts are incredibly kind, always attentive and making sure you feel comfortable. They really go above and beyond. The food was delicious as well! They also organize a Taj Mahal tour, which was amazing and such a great experience. Overall, I loved my stay and would 100% recommend it to anyone visiting.

Such a lovely stay here. Moses and his sister were so so helpful and friendly, they even gave me a picnic breakfast for my very early train. We stayed in a nice double room and were given dinner when we arrived late, even though the kitchen was technically closed. A little further out of the centre but this means you see a more residential neighbourhood and is very easy to get to and from. Would very much recommend.

Lovely homestay, with amazing host. Moses is one of the friendliest hosts I’ve had the pleasure of meeting so far on my trip. He gives you recommendations both within and outside of Agra and has a lovely energy. The locations is in the local area of Agra, with local experience but with lots of tasty restaurants a 5 minute walk away. The homestay itself is very clean and the private room has a large and comfortable bed. The tour is super informative, with lots of great pics! Would recommend.

Really nice homestay, Moses was very hospitable and took time to chat to me and organise my transport for the trip onwards. Had an informative sunset tour of Agra Fort and Taj Mahal with John, he took great pictures as well. Good room, perfect for a one night stay. Ate dinner at an external restaurant but Moses organised a thali for me for lunch which was really nice

Moses e Steffi sono stati semplicemente meravigliosi, sempre gentili e disponibili in ogni momento. Ti fanno sentire davvero a casa fin dal primo giorno.L’homestay non si trova in una zona centralissima e alcuni autisti Uber hanno avuto un po’ di difficoltà a trovarlo, ma proprio questa posizione lo rende speciale: è un posto super silenzioso, tranquillo, dove nessuno ti disturba. Perfetto se vuoi fermarti qualche giorno in più e rigenerarti lontano dal caos.Se avete bisogno di spostarvi,...

A fantastic hostel, with a top terrace and perfect location. The private rooms are really clean and cosy. Moses made everything smooth and chill, even with custom, unconventional requests completed. He is also a very talented guide who will make the Taj Mahal visit unforgettable for you. All his family made our stay so smooth and made us feel very welcomed. The Wi-Fi is also excellent. The best parts here are the social atmosphere, cosiness, location and staff. Cheers!

Je recommande totalement de rester dans cette auberge avec Moses comme propriétaire ! Il sera vous aider pour tout votre séjour et même plus. J’ai pu compter sur lui sur mon organisation Agra et revenir sur Delhi. Je vous recommande aussi de réserver son tour du taj Mahal le matin !

Man muss mit ein Tuk Tuk zum Taj Mahal, zu Fuß sind es 3 km, also ungefähr 40 min. Unterkunft war insgesamt sauber und gut, keine Küche. Man kann auch nicht eigenständig rein und raus gehen, jemand muss die Tür öffnen. Preis Leistung ist aber super. Wenn man über 1,90 ist muss man fragen das man das Bett bekommt ohne Eisen an den Füßen. Moses war sehr nett.
