Smoking-friendly vacation rentals in West Sikkim

Great stay! Host was very responsive and helpful. Place was very nice with great views of the Kanchanjanga. Very easy to access Mall Road.

I had a wonderful stay at this cozy Airbnb in Darjeeling! The location was perfect—tucked away just enough to feel peaceful, yet close to Mall Road, restaurants, and local attractions like the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute and the Darjeeling Toy Train. The host was incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout the stay, offering great recommendations for local food and hidden viewpoints.

The property was exactly as described and came with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The view from the balcony was absolutely fantastic—one of the highlights of the visit. The location is very convenient, with easy access to groceries, small local restaurants, and even medical services nearby. Just a note: the entrance requires going down about 10 steps and a flight of stairs to reach the third floor, so something to keep in mind for anyone with mobility issues. Overall, a great place to stay and would definitely recommend!

Stayed for 4 nights and must tell you that it was very good experience. The place is comfortable and cozy, easy to reach, prominent location. And the view from rooms is something which very few places in darjeeling may offer. Kitchen was fully equipped. Mr. Aswath, the host, is very helpful, proactive ,very polite. Would recommend to everyone.

Our recent stay at Darjeeling Dhiraj’s Homestay was truly delightful. Despite the homestay being located about 200 meters up a steep hill, it is manageable for us. My family, including my 65-year-old father, had no trouble reaching the homestay, and the effort was well worth it. The location offers a breathtaking terrace view, perfect for soaking in the serene beauty of Darjeeling. The amenities were well-maintained, and cleanliness was up to the mark, adding to the comfort of our stay. One of the standout aspects was the exceptional hospitality. The hosts were consistently responsible and helpful, ensuring that our visit was smooth and enjoyable. Their warm and accommodating nature truly made our trip more meaningful and comfortable. We sincerely appreciate the team at Dhiraj’s Homestay for their dedication to providing a pleasant experience. Looking forward to visiting again!

Nous sommes restés 3 nuits dans cet Airbnb, les hôtes sont très sympathique, accueillant, bienvaillant, à l'écoute, réactif... Ils nous ont bien aidez pour améliorer la qualité de notre voyage. Le lieu propose une très belle vue. Leur restaurant juste au dessus d'où l'on dormait été très bien et proposé des plats délicieux. Pour la propreté, le rangement, la vesselle... Tout était bien fait. Endroit fait pour être en famille, en ami ou même tout seul. Le rapport qualité prix est bien. Je recommande vivement cet Airbnb pour toute ses qualités. J'espère revenir bientôt !

Wir hatten einen schönen Aufenthalt. Die Wohnung hat alles was man benötigt. Sie ist gemütlich und modern eingerichtet. Tshegyal war immer erreichbar und hat uns bei Fragen geholfen. Die Unterkunft liegt in ruhiger Lage, ein bisschen entfernt vom Zentrum. Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Nindiya Host Stay. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by the friendly staff, who made me feel right at home. The rooms were clean, cozy, and thoughtfully decorated, providing a perfect space to relax after a day of exploring. The location is ideal—peaceful yet close to all the main attractions. What stood out the most was the genuine hospitality and attention to detail. It truly felt like staying with family. I would highly recommend Nindiya Host Stay to anyone looking for a comfortable and heartwarming place to stay. Can't wait to come bac

It was our First visit to Darjeeling, and we should say we never felt we were away from home. Thanks to Amit for providing such a wonderful experience through out our stay. food was really tasty and was served hot. Dining area was providing a great view of the town.

We had an awesome stay, the view from balcony is just beautiful. The caretaker are extremely helpful. My daughter had a fun time with Aradhya , she is yogita s niece. The food prepared by them was simple and tasty. They even helped us with luggage and cab booking. Just one advice while reaching the property enter the village from zoo side and not happy valley tea garden bcoz the road is very scary.

If you like to spend your vacation away from the city's hustle and bustle and like to be in the nature lap where birds sound will give you a morning alarm, then this is the perfect place for you. The host was very helpful. Shreya's brother Suraj and his wife were there. When we reached the place, they served us an awesome homemade lunch and tea and then gave us a nature walk around the property. Their very friendly dog was a special attraction for our daughter. Suraj sir has even explained how they pluck tea leaves and dry them to make tea to our daughter. Even on the day of check out, we had to leave early morning, around 6 am, but Suraj sir was kind that he even brought tea on that morning without even mentioning it. It really felt like home. We even saw the sunrise from our cottage view was literally awesome. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place. The only thing is you need to hike a little to enter the cottage, but they will definitely help you with your luggage.

It was pleasure to stay at oasis apartment hosted by praggya lama. First thing it was at walkable distance from all major places i.e zoological park is 5 min away, chaurasta mall road is 10 min walk darjeeling joy ride is also 3 kms from apartment. If you are travelling with senior citizens with knee problem it is the best place to stay. Host praggya was very nice and friendly in nature and helped every way possible also ambience of the homestay is good as shown in photos. Thank you praggya ji it was nice to meet you and will recommend others also in future.

We were extremely happy with the homestay. It is cute and cozy, and the patio is the highlight. The views are amazing. The homestay is a 15 minutes walk from mall, hence the approach is also accessible. It is a great option for people who are not averse to walking a little. We truly enjoyed our stay. Special thanks to Vivean and Samir for their great service

Here's a detailed review from our experience - The place was pretty easy to spot using GMaps and the guidance given by Mr Yougal. He's been extremely generous and hospitable throughout our stay. The house is equipped with possibly every utility one could think of. Every nook and corner has something to offer, extreme attention to detail. For instance, one can even find a large umbrella for those downpours (When you're not prepared! 😛). The living area is laden with items like snacks, tea, coffee, etc nicely tucked into the tight spaces. Location also is pretty central, one can easily find taxis to plan commutes anywhere in Darjeeling. Mr Yougal can help connect with friendly local cab drivers to plan any travel.

Fantastic place. Quiet (which was great as there was a festival on - rock- and this was out of the noise). The stroll into town was so enjoyable (note if walking is hard and being amongst the bustle is key then this might be a stretch). The views from two bedrooms are breathtaking- I’m not sure anywhere else would have this view. It was warm with lots of heating and hot water. Large kitchen. Large Lounge. Lots of places to be together or apart if you needed respite from each other. Very easy to communicate with. Everything works well.

superb place to stay in darjeeling its nearby Darjeeling zoo and have amazing view from balcony.

The place was exactly as described—peaceful, pleasant, and truly enjoyable. Tenjing and Urgen were exceptionally cooperative and helpful, always going the extra mile to share their valuable local insights. My family thoroughly enjoyed the entire stay and left completely satisfied. We hope to visit again soon!

The host: Samridhi is a very responsive and helpful host. The cab driver she referred was super reliable, the tea supplier was excellent. Amenities: The homestay is beautiful, clean and comes with a fully equipped kitchen. Its cozy and very comfortable. It can accommodate upto 3 people. View: The balcony overlooks Happy Valley Tea Estate and the view is gorgeous. Definitely the highlight. Location: Excellent- a 20 minute walk from the centre of the city. Food: Food at the homestay was simple and tasty. The building has multiple flats which makes it a good choice for bigger groups too. I'd definitely recommend Magnolia Homestay to anyone who's visiting Darjeeling.

We loved the place. Host is very responsive. We felt like own home. overall wonderful experience.
