Tucked away in a serene setting, this homestay is managed by Mr. Surendra, a seasoned professional with a background in high-end hotel management. His exceptional hospitality began even before our arrival, as he maintained continuous contact to ensure a smooth journey to his residence. Despite our train’s late arrival at midnight, Mr. Surendra’s diligent communication and the warm welcome from the caretaker, Mr. Suman, made us feel at ease. Mr. Suman’s politeness and attentiveness ensured our comfort, even in the late hours. Our brief stay in Jodhpur was enriched by Mr. Surendra’s expertly crafted one-day tour itinerary, which highlighted all the must-see locations. He also recommended the best spots for shopping and dining, and took the time to share fascinating stories and insights with us. Embodying the spirit of “Athithi Devo Bhava” (The guest is equivalent to God), Mr. Surendra graciously insisted on preparing a packed breakfast for our early departure, despite our protests. His dedication to hospitality was evident as he had personally handed over the packed breakfast and saw us off in the morning. The meals, crafted in the homestay’s kitchen by the gracious family members, were a culinary delight, evoking the essence of home-cooked perfection. We indulged in both breakfast and dinner, which were exceptional. Additionally, the considerate gesture of a packed breakfast for our early morning travels was a thoughtful touch that was much appreciated. The care and affection we received from Mr. Surendra and Mr. Suman were reminiscent of familial bonds, a rarity in today’s world. Their perfect blend of hosting and caretaking made our stay unforgettable. It left us longing for an additional day to bask in their exemplary hospitality. This homestay, surpassing many five-star hotels, comes with my highest recommendation. Best wishes!
