If by any chance you are travelling to Darjeeling or planning a trip and looking for an accommodation, I definitely recommend ‘By The Zoo’ homestay. i assure you will be getting the luxury of a million dollar experience, it’s cozy, romantic, free, calm and is in close proximity to all the tourist hotspot in town. Located beside the zoo and the Raj Bhavan, you can have the view of the Kangchenjunga from the room and the main Bazar is only 15mins by walk and the ropeway station about the same. The hospitality of the host Parag was excellent and far from any of the hospitality you’ll get from a Hotel. He’s prepared us a delicious breakfast and even take us for a tour with his car which is super efficient in terms of expenditure and time. Besides, it’s not a hotel so you’ll have more flexibility with the checkout timings (if not in peak season) which is a key factor for a traveller with luggage and stuff waiting for a transport at undesirable time, so you won’t have to worry about carrying all your belongings wherever you go. All in all you’ll get to interact more with the host (locals) when you go for homestay and get to experience the culture and tradition with a deeper insights so it’s undeniably worth it.

The hotel is situated near the zoo but in remote area far from mall.hotel is well decorated but beware of the owner as food is not available in the hotel and he will charge you a lot for low quality food but the breakfast which is provided free is excellent as it is made by his mother also home delivery of some restaurant and dominos is available.and as there is a kitchen you can cook food also. Hotel is not connected with well transportation and you will be exhausted for day to day activity. If you want to stay and relax in the homestay then it is excellent location and well decorated but if you want to explore darjeeling then opt out for other option as the owner or staff are not cooperative.

It's a beautiful place where the homestay is located. And it's quite close to the zoo and very quiet and peaceful. The owner at the homestay took good care and also also was kind enough to arrange tours. Overall a good experience especially on a trip with your friends. As a group of friends we didn't expect anything as we would only be in the rooms for the night to sleep. The rest of the time was spent in travelling and sightseeing. But great room service and the complimentary breakfast really kept us going all through those chilly mornings.

Totally disappointed. The owner man behaviour was very bad ... only the worker boy was very helpful and that's only the good thing except everything here was just worth .. no proper maintenance , food quality was the poorest , gave us damaged foods and no facility Nothing is good here , One cup of black tea is ₹30 ... Never ordered anything .... Totally disappointed ... very very bad service only the working labour boy was totally helpful .
- 2/5Krishna Kumar
not satisfactory. paid for large attic room with breakfast. but adjusted with some other lower grade room without almirah, without any mirror, no attached bathroom and toilet. breakfast provided but paid for the tea@Rs.50/- per cup. surrounding was not good. far away from main market area. no restaurant nearby... for local sightseeing, contact to taxi stand people. they will charge appropriate rates.

Room and staff was nice and cooperative.But hotel was too far from the Darjeeling city.And Room which I booked was one 2nd floor ,room was not so good.in morning it was raining and whole bed was wet bcuz of roof leaking , as it was wood.If you prefer to book room in this then go Deluxe room it is very nice.View from the was very beautiful as it is on top and of hill.

The ambiance of the property was good but the location was not easy to reach as there were no signboards available nearby the property, the services were all good, rooms were clean and comfortable, caretaker of the property was also fine and cooperative.
- 5/5Gautam Debnath
My stay was very nice at zoo homestay. Service and hospitality was excellent. Hotel rooms are very good. Only two think negative about the hotel it is bit faraway from the main town and it doesn’t have a in house kitchen. But money paid is worth

very comfortable homestay. Mr parag and Nirmal is very helpful. the room size is very good. just one point the bathrooms needs to have western seats...else it was very good stay
- 5/5Rajaram Satishkumar
Away from the hustle-bustle but walkable to Mall/Chowrasta and close to the zoo. Rooms are tastefully furnished and kept clean. Good place to take rest after busy trips/treks.
