Ladakh View Homestay | Rooms & Caretaker

Pros:1. Friendly and caring host2. Breakfast was delivered to our room in the morning because we were getting late.3. Room was clean and warm.4. Walking distance from Leh palaceCons:1. Accessibility issue - the property is in a narrow lane accessible only by walking. The lane is also scattered with dog poop. 2. It is not easily locatable on Google maps, there is no board or signage for directions. We had difficulty finding the property. 3. We didn't find the bathroom very clean. The drain under the basin was leaking and a bucket was placed under it. The hand jet of commode was also leaking. Window panes were broken. The flush was not working properly either. 4. Far from Leh Mall road. There is a small market nearby but mostly grocery stores, no restaurants. 5. We went out at night to have dinner, there were a lot of street dogs in the lane who started barking at us. May be okay for people who are not scared of dogs, but since I am, it was not a pleasant experience.Overall, suitable for backpackers but not for families with big luggages. Recommended to have dinner in the homestay itself, as I didn't find the area safe after dark.

The homestay was in an extremely bad state. There was dirt all around, dust on the furniture, cigarette buds and dirty clothes around the lobby. When I tried getting in touch with the property owner before leaving, she didn't come out. We barely spent 10 mins in the property and left. After 20 mins the property owner called me to ask why did we leave. I informed her about the dirt, litter and the state if the property. To this she replied very rudely that you didn't have to stay in the lobby but only had to use the bedroom. This statement is completely unacceptable and rude for a guest. When I pay for a certain property, I expect to go and chill around other common spaces as well. I didn't just Pay for the bedroom but also for other accessible spaces. Ladakh View guesthouse is the most pathetic property to be in and the host is ridiculous, extremely rude and doesn't make any sense. I would never recommend this dirty place to anyone.

In one word - awesome. The owner of the house, Vilayat is a very nice and helpful person. Rooms are quite good and specious, all the modern amenities are available be it gyser, electric kettle, room heater or electric blanket. our stay was superb. The distance of the main market is just 5 minutes walk. The property is situated just down the Leh Palace. The owner and his wife are always helpful and always takes a good care of the needs. My mother faced breathing problem and he really helped us a lot starting from admitting her in hospital, supplying home foods, tea and snacks etc. Otherwise we would fell in big trouble at an unknown place. He also arranged required permits, cabs for our tour. Must stay at this place.

Pros: i) Will provide pickup from airport on arrival. ii) Will help to plan your itinerary for ladakh visit. iii) Nice garden of homestay. iv) 24 hours hot water. v) internet vi) On demand breakfast. Not limited like 2 parathas only. vii) Mall road, leh palace are at walkable distance . viii) Nice hospitality. Cons: I) Name and location of homestay are different. Real name : City heart guest house ii) Room n bedsheets are clean but you may find stain and hair on them. It was nice experience.
