Smoking-friendly holiday rentals in South Sikkim

had a pleasant stay

Great stay! Host was very responsive and helpful. Place was very nice with great views of the Kanchanjanga. Very easy to access Mall Road.

I had a wonderful stay at Avinay’s place in Darjeeling! The location was perfect, offering breathtaking views of the mountains, and the cozy interiors made me feel right at home. Avinay was an exceptional host, always responsive and accommodating, ensuring every detail was taken care of. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped. The warmth and hospitality truly added to the charm of my trip. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Darjeeling!

I recently stayed at Dhiraj's Alstroemeria Homestay in Darjeeling with my husband, son, and 60+ year old father, and it was a wonderful experience. The homestay is located just uphill near shiv mandir and walkable to Darjeeling Railway Station—while the climb may seem steep, it’s manageable and adds to the charm of being in the Himalayas. Dhiraj and his wife were incredible hosts, always available and attentive to our needs. Despite our late arrival, they greeted us warmly with tea, which my father especially enjoyed. The homestay itself was cozy and well-equipped with a kitchen and geyser for hot water, making it feel like a home away from home. The view of Kanchenjunga from the roof was breathtaking, and the convenience of food delivery from Zomato and Swiggy was a great bonus. Overall, it was a memorable stay, and I highly recommend it for anyone visiting Darjeeling looking for a peaceful and welcoming retreat.

We stayed 3 nights in this Airbnb, the hosts are very friendly, welcoming, welcoming, attentive, responsive... They helped us improve the quality of our trip. The place offers a very nice view. Their restaurant just above where we slept was very well and offered delicious dishes. For cleanliness, storage, bedroom... Everything was well done. A place for families, friends, or even alone. The value for money is good. Highly recommend this Airbnb for all its qualities. I hope to return soon!

“Great stay! Tshegyal was a fantastic host—responsive and welcoming. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and conveniently located. Highly recommend!”

My family and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Heyagriva, and it was truly a delightful experience from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, Paulzor welcomed us with warmth and hospitality, making us feel right at home in his beautiful abode nestled amidst the scenic hills of Darjeeling. Paulzor's attention to detail was evident in every aspect of our stay. The accommodations were not only immaculately clean and comfortable but also thoughtfully decorated, reflecting the rich Buddhist culture. Beyond the accommodations, Paulzor went above and beyond to ensure that we had everything we needed for a memorable stay. From helping us prepare a perfect itinerary to offering insider tips for navigating Darjeeling and surrounding areas. Overall, our stay with Paulzor exceeded all expectations. I highly recommend staying with Paulzor. We can't wait to return for another visit in the future!

The place is extremely good and had an amazing stay with a good night sleep. Thanks to our Host Susanna who is extremely professional and very friendly in nature. The best part is we didn't had a language barrier. She is very good in English and her communication style is great and easy to understand. Whilst during the stay I did see tourists Britts, Spanish and Singaporeans who did not had any issues with communication and even we shared a small amount of time for a drink at the restaurant where they shared their amazing experience and few things about their culture. This place is extremely friendly with all the amenities and well suited for international clients and tourists. So I highly recommend them to viewers. Thanks again to my lovely Host Susanna you made the stay amazing and memorable and definitely would like to visit your place in near future ❤️

It was our First visit to Darjeeling, and we should say we never felt we were away from home. Thanks to Amit for providing such a wonderful experience through out our stay. food was really tasty and was served hot. Dining area was providing a great view of the town.

Swaroop has an amazing place - spacious, and thoughtfully decorated. Most importantly, Swaroop is an amazing host, the best. He was prompt in helping us out with anything that we needed, very friendly and cool to hangout with and great in communication. It felt right at home! Highly recommend!

What's special about this place? EVERYTHING!! 1. Hospitality: to be honest ...it didn't feel like we were away from home for even once. The owners are very warm hearted, loving and take care of everything without even leaving anything to complain about. They even invited us in for traditional drink - Tongba (I am sorry, if i have murdered the spelling). It was really inspiring to see how they have preserved their traditional values like this. 2. Location: This place little bit off the main road which leads to the most amazing feature of this place - serenity. You will listen to the rooster at 4 in the morning, the moment sun rises , birds starts chirping. The impeccable view of sunrays falling on the kanchenjunga peak is beyond explanation. And the lush green surroundings with Rhododendrons all over the place will make you fall in love with this place. 3. Food: They cook the food with lot of love and nutrients. Although, sikkim is an organic state but their food quality will make you lick your fingers everytime you take a bite. Cleanliness: Sparkling clean!! That's all I want to say. I just want to give one example about how they took care of every teenie tiny thing when we were there: "They put one pair of scissors for cutting the coffee sachets in the room. " I have never seen such gesture anywhere. I just loved this place .

We had an awesome stay, the view from balcony is just beautiful. The caretaker are extremely helpful. My daughter had a fun time with Aradhya , she is yogita s niece. The food prepared by them was simple and tasty. They even helped us with luggage and cab booking. Just one advice while reaching the property enter the village from zoo side and not happy valley tea garden bcoz the road is very scary.

Amazing property. One of the best AIRBNB’s I have stayed in. Amazing view from all the rooms. Not to forget the mesmerising view of Kangchenjunga from the property. Rooms are amazing, eautifully decorated and very cozy. And the best part is the hospitality of the host. They have been responsive and very helpful. You don’t need to get out to taste the best food around as they themselves serve pretty mouth delicious food. Thanks a lot to the beautiful couple for hosting and providing with the best of experience.

If you’re looking for a remote getaway that offers privacy and the charm of village and farm living, this is the perfect place. My friends and I absolutely loved our stay here. The property is beautifully maintained, and the hospitality provided by the host and their family was exceptional. From the homemade, organic food to the locally crafted liquor, everything was delicious and healthy. The barbecue prepared by the host was a highlight—absolutely “yum yum”! They also went above and beyond to assist us with local sightseeing, making our experience even more memorable. A special mention goes to the host’s sweet grandmother, their lovely niece Neema, and their adorable dog Snoopy, who added so much warmth and joy to our stay. Thank you, Dwakapa, for an unforgettable experience in Yuksom. We’d love to visit again someday!

Extremely nice place for holidays. Very peaceful place to enjoy the nature and it's beauties. Host Shreya and her brother Suraj was very responsive & helpful throughout the stays. We had homemade meals from host almost all times which were delicious. Enjoyed every day's stunning sunrise from the varandah was something like once in a lifetime!

From a fantastic view from the balcony, to clean and spacious apartment and nearby shops for necessacities, it makes the place a very comfortable and peaceful stay.

Here's a detailed review from our experience - The place was pretty easy to spot using GMaps and the guidance given by Mr Yougal. He's been extremely generous and hospitable throughout our stay. The house is equipped with possibly every utility one could think of. Every nook and corner has something to offer, extreme attention to detail. For instance, one can even find a large umbrella for those downpours (When you're not prepared! 😛). The living area is laden with items like snacks, tea, coffee, etc nicely tucked into the tight spaces. Location also is pretty central, one can easily find taxis to plan commutes anywhere in Darjeeling. Mr Yougal can help connect with friendly local cab drivers to plan any travel.

Fantastic place. Quiet (which was great as there was a festival on - rock- and this was out of the noise). The stroll into town was so enjoyable (note if walking is hard and being amongst the bustle is key then this might be a stretch). The views from two bedrooms are breathtaking- I’m not sure anywhere else would have this view. It was warm with lots of heating and hot water. Large kitchen. Large Lounge. Lots of places to be together or apart if you needed respite from each other. Very easy to communicate with. Everything works well.

Excellent Host..... Good peaceful location ....... Hill view is amazing in the morning as well night ...... I recommend the appartment ....

Kitchen well equipped which helped us quite a bit during the stay. Heaters were promptly provided. Cozy living room as well with a smart TV. All the amenities were thoughtful and appreciate host for thinking through the last detail. It's slightly uphil and away l from centre. We got lucky catching beautiful Kanchenjunga views from the balcony. Only suggestion is to clean and improve the staircase access to the flat and add lights. It was inconvenient in the night.

We had an incredible stay at Samridhi’s place in Darjeeling. The accommodation was cozy, beautifully arranged, and felt just like home. The highlight of the stay was the sunset and the breathtaking night view of Darjeeling town — truly a sight to behold. Samridhi was a wonderful host, always available to offer guidance and make our stay more comfortable. A special mention goes to the homemade food, which was absolutely delicious and beyond our expectations. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Darjeeling. Thank you, Samridhi, for making our stay so memorable!

We loved the place. Host is very responsive. We felt like own home. overall wonderful experience.

We had an incredible stay at Khagesh sir's homestay! The moment we arrived, we felt like we were part of the family. The hosts were warm, welcoming, and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. The homestay itself was immaculate, cozy, and had everything we needed. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the shared spaces were perfect for relaxation. What truly made our stay special, however, was the hospitality and kindness of our hosts. They were always available to answer our questions and provide recommendations We highly recommend this homestay to anyone looking for a genuine and unforgettable experience. Thank you for making our stay so memorable!"
