+ Best hostel in Srinagar. The beds are big & clean. Very friendly family. Ali is really helpful in giving advice to go around the city. We went for a day trek.

I had an amazing stay at this family-run homestay. Ali was very welcoming and shared a lot about the local culture and the region. He also arranged a day hike and a ski trip to Gulmarg for me. Since it’s the off-season, there weren’t many tourists around, but I felt completely safe and comfortable in Kashmir. For anyone visiting and looking for an authentic local experience, John’s Homestay is the place

Ali at the homestay went above and beyond to help me with everything when staying at the homestay. It was clean, the family is nice and i felt safe being a solo female traveller. They let me check in earlier and helped me book a taxi that took me around Kashmir, for a good price. Best Homestay in India.

+ We received a very warm and authentic welcome from our host family. The daughter and father were very accommodating and chatty. They gave us tips about Srinagar and our onward journey, and helped us with booking. We felt very comfortable and welcome in their home and gained a fascinating insight into their everyday life. The room was large, clean, and comfortable. We liked how bright it was. We also had a balcony. The linens were clean, and the hot shower worked wonderfully. Breakfast was simple and good. We love the house's Kashmiri tea! 😍 Everything was wonderful for us. However, there is a Sikh place of worship and a mosque nearby. Early in the morning, you can hear the prayers and chanting. Keep this in mind if you're a light sleeper. Otherwise, the location was good. It's a bit out of the way. We found this more comfortable. The tuk-tuk is a good way to get to the center. We highly recommend the accommodation! Thank you for the great time and your hospitality! 🙌🏻

+ The son who looks after the hostel is a very generous guy. There is a kitchen that functions as the common area.

+ El personal (que realmente es una familia) es increíble, te hacen sentir como en casa, literalmente. Te dan de comer en un comedor super bonito y acogedor, te explican cosas sobre el lugar, la cultura... Todo está impecable, las habitaciones son amplias y cómodas, el lavabo excelente. Nada que objetar, todo perfecto.
