Little Chateau

DharnaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Our stay was lovely and relaxing! The property had a peaceful vibe with a stunning view that made mornings extra special. The room was spacious, clean, and had everything we needed. The host was kind and attentive. One thing that i don't like is about the food we ordered from Taste Buds, which was just okay and took over an hour to arrive. But apart from that, everything else was great and i'd definitely recommend this place for a cozy stay in Shimla!

Amber Vista_Bungalow

sanjeevRating, 5 stars6 months ago
Amber Vista Homestay gave me and my family an unforgettable experience. Right from when we arrived, our host Tribhun Bhardwaj was so welcoming and attentive, making sure every part of our stay was great. The food was amazing, with a variety of local dishes that really added to the whole experience. Every meal felt like a taste of the region and was delicious. But the absolute highlight was the stunning mountain view. Waking up to that incredible sight every morning was something we’ll never forget, it was magical. Amber Vista is perfect for anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable getaway. Whether you’re after relaxing, enjoying the scenery, or experiencing the local culture, this place has it all. Highly recommended for a refreshing stay!

Ravishing 1 bedroom condo with breath taking view.

MansiRating, 5 stars28 months ago
Loved the stay. The property is offbeat Shimla and that’s the reason why it’s so beautiful, away from all the city noise. The balcony view from the place is breathtaking, 10/10 for balcony. Woke up to the sun rising, birds chirping and beautiful mountains. Def recommend this place for anyone who’s coming to Shimla and wish to stay in a peaceful environment. The staff is also very helpful. Thank you Sukhraj ji.

Valley house

TAPANRating, 5 stars6 days ago
Amazing Stay with a Breathtaking View & the Best Host! Staying at this homestay was incredible! The highlight is the breathtaking panoramic view of Shimla—you see the entire city surrounded by lush green hills, creating a postcard-perfect scene. The magic begins at night, when the city lights up, and the twinkling lights against the dark hills create an unforgettable experience. It’s something you truly have to witness to believe. The best part of our stay was undoubtedly our host, Mrs. Meera. She’s the most thoughtful and attentive BnB host we've ever met—genuinely passionate about hosting and always ready to help. From guiding us on sightseeing to ensuring we didn’t miss any key spots, she went above and beyond. She even helped us late at night to board our bus! Her husband was equally helpful, and together, they made us feel at home during our stay. Overall, a heartwarming and unforgettable experience. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Shimla. Can’t wait to return!
