Get better rates then ONLINE BOOKING WEBSITES by talking and booking directly with Hotels in India

Okay so listen...
My friend Meena once went to Coorg for a solo trip. She didn’t wanna stay in hotel – she wanted something homely. She booked a homestay online. But when she reached, owner said, “Sorry madam, not available, maybe website mistake.” 😑
She sat on a bench for 3 hours with her backpack. Alone. In a new city.
That’s when she called me. I gave her a number of a lady I knew who rents 2 rooms from her house nearby. Meena called her, went, stayed 2 nights – made lemon rice together, played with her dog, sat in garden.
Came back happy. Said, “Bro, next time only booking through call. No app drama.”
That’s the seed of this site.
Find Homestays In India – where you don’t just scroll and guess... You call. You talk. You ask about food, safety, rules, pets, family, all of it. Then you book.
There are many websites online, sure... but most don’t give contact number of host. You click, book, and then pray someone responds. Some places even cancel last minute.
Here? You get phone number of the homestay. You call the aunty, uncle, or whoever owns the house. Ask about:
Wifi?
Parking?
Is dinner included?
Can we bring our dog?
Do they allow unmarried couple?
Like you talk like normal people. No fake bots. No “Support Ticket Created” nonsense.
So yeah... this is not fancy site. But it works. Best site if you want human-style booking.
Finding good homestay in India is like finding good chai – you ask locals, not reviews.
Here’s what to do:
Open our website
Type your destination (like "Darjeeling" or "Homestay near Haridwar Ghat")
Scroll through homestays
Click on one
Get number. Call them. Ask all your doubts. Book.
That’s it.
You can ask the host if it’s family-friendly, safe for solo women, or if they can cook local food for you. Sometimes they also help plan local trips – for free!
Many people told us they liked this style better ‘cause it feels like going to relative's house, not some hotel lobby.
You ever stayed in a room where outside your window is all green hills, birds chirping, and a aunty bringing hot paratha?
That’s what makes a beautiful homestay. Not just fancy bedsheets.
We list homestays that are simple but beautiful. Like:
Wooden cottages on hills
Old Portuguese homes in small towns
Farm stays with cows and mango trees
Homes near waterfalls, rivers, or rice fields
One guy from Pune called a homestay near Wayanad. It didn’t have swimming pool or AC. But he said, “Best sleep of my life. Birds woke me up. Not alarm.”
That’s what real beauty feels like.
So yeah, check photos, talk to host, ask what view they have.
You want something hatke? Like not boring hotel with white bedsheets and same toast in breakfast?
We help you find unique homestays across India, where you get experience, not just stay.
Some examples we got:
Houseboats in Kerala
Treehouses in Maharashtra
Tibetan homestays in Spiti
Old Havelis in Rajasthan
Bamboo huts in Northeast
Homestays in caves (yes, real one near Badami!)
These are not 5-star hotels. They are 5-star memories.
One couple told us they stayed in a remote village homestay with no mobile network... and they said, “Best detox ever.”
So yeah, you want something different? Just search, find, and call the host.
Yeah, our site works online. You can search homestays on mobile, laptop, anywhere. But don’t book blindly.
All listings got direct contact number. You can call the host, say “Hello aunty, we’re 3 people, coming next weekend – can you give us ground floor room?”
You can even bargain a bit, ask for extra beds, or early check-in. Hosts are people – they say yes if you ask nicely.
Booking online is fine. But booking after talking is smarter.
Some people say, “What’s the price? Is it cheap? Is it worth?”
Our listings show approx price range. But actual price you confirm on call.
Why? ‘Cause hosts change price based on:
Season
Number of guests
Weekday or weekend
Meals included or not
Group discount maybe
One college group saved ₹1800 just by calling and saying “We’re 5 people, any group rate?” The aunty gave them 1 extra mattress and ₹300 off per night. Done.
So yeah, you want clear price? Just call the host. That’s our way.
Big sites like Airbnb, Booking, MakeMyTrip show homestays – but not all. And many hosts don’t even know how to use app properly.
That’s why many real good homestays don’t show up online.
We’re building a site for that – only homestays. No big hotels, no paid ads. Just people opening their homes for travellers.
And our process is simple – if you own a homestay, you can list for free. Just need photos, location, and your mobile number.
We don’t hide contact. We don’t force bookings. We just connect people.
Most homestays in India are not big companies. They’re small families with 2-3 rooms.
But some groups do manage 4-5 homestays together. We’ve listed those too. Like:
Tribal homestays in Meghalaya
Heritage stays in Tamil Nadu
Eco-village stays in Uttarakhand
Coffee farm stays in Karnataka
Some also offer things like cooking classes, yoga sessions, or farming experience.
If you're a traveller who likes real desi stay with home-cooked food and stories, this is the best way.
And again – call first. It helps build trust.
Okay let’s be honest.
Apps are cool but they mess up sometimes. Last-minute cancellations. Wrong map. Host not picking up. Price mismatch.
When you call and talk to host, you get clarity.
You can ask:
“Can I bring my dog?”
“Do you have hot water?”
“Is it okay if we reach late night?”
“Is there power cut issue?”
“What do you serve in dinner?”
Once you talk, you feel more chill. You reach the place, host welcomes you by name. Like a relative. Not a stranger.
That’s the vibe we’re creating.
India is huge. And homestays are popping up everywhere – not just in tourist places but also small towns and villages.
We list homestays in:
Hills, plains, forests
Beach towns, deserts, tea gardens
Near temples, forts, caves, rivers
Even remote areas where you go for silence or writing a book
We adding new places daily. And not just famous spots. Many users say they found hidden gems using our site.
So yeah, if it's in India – chances are we got a homestay there or we adding it soon.
We adding a new feature – “Call Now” button – just tap and talk.
Also, soon we adding WhatsApp contact so you can directly ask homestay bhaiya, “Send me room photo please?”
We don’t wanna become techy startup. We just wanna make human booking easy.
Because we love homestays. Like real love.
We stayed in them. Ate poha with hosts. Played with their kids. Sat near bonfire. Heard old stories. Slept in quiet. Woke up to birds.
Hotels can’t give that.
This site is for people who want real travel with real people – not just rooms and ratings.
So yeah, next time you want to find homestay in India...
