“Sylvan Sanctuary”

This homestay is worthy of a 11 on 10 marking. The six room-spa- kitchen with cook boasts of classical architecture nestled amidst eight acres of deodar forest. It is located on the hillock near the circuit house and the cantonment which makes it althemore peaceful and secure. We were graciously hosted by Mr Shekhar and was cared by the warm and hospitable Mr Prakash and his team, who cooked us sumptuous meals and made us feel homely and comfortable. Their dogs- Yuri and Oliver provided us with guided tours of the estate in exchange of endless belly rubs and hugs. The rooms were spacious and neatlykept and modern. The pictures wont do justice to the place and one must visit Deodar Homestays to truely enjoy their warmth and hospitality.

“Memorable”

This location, campus & surroundings were superb

Spent 4 nights here, absolutely lovely stay. The place is a short walk to the market, and very quiet with an amazing garden to relax. Feels like a holiday :) The rooms are super clean and spacious, beds are very comfy. All is so well designed, almost feels like a boutique hotel. But the biggest plus: the staff! They were all so nice, do everything to make your stay comfortable, and the food they cook is delicous! Breakfast was different every day, with a combination of indian and continental. And don't miss out on the homemade pizza :-)

“Highly recommend this relaxing homestay with huge rooms, excellent food and friendly atmosphere.”

Lovely old bungalow with huge verandahs and a beautiful garden, sitting up on a ridge looking out over the town below, mountains in the distance. Huge bedroom with mountain view had a large comfy four poster bed, sitting area, fireplace and great bathroom with large shower and a bowl of fresh flowers :) Delicious breakfasts, teatime snacks and dinners with local dishes to order, made by Prakash, who always had a broad smile for us.

“Really lovely homestay with excellent food!”

We loved staying at Deodar Homestay and was well looked after by Prakash. The food was really excellent and we hope to return to Almora in the future

“It was amazing stay in one of the best property of Almora, cool, calm and scenic”

It was nicely cooked and delicious, the service was too good

“The stay was exceptional, and there’s no better food than what’s served here.”

“Our stay for 5 days was very relaxing and very comfortable. The property is located on hill top and is blessed with a gr”

It is a heritage Manor and is kept very well. The owners are very warm and welcoming. Prakash ji who is managing the kitchen prepared the most delicious home style food which made the stay most comfortable. He has a small team who keep running through the day to look after guests at the property. Prakash ji takes care of the meals and honestly we haven’t had better home cooked food !

“Perfect stay. Will surely book again”

The property was clean, peaceful, spacious and located at an easy to find place. We hardly ever left the homestay in our 3 nights and 4 days visit so we had 9 meals there. Every single meal was homecooked, fresh and absolutely delicious. The staff is so professional, soft spoken and on their toes to service us. Prakash ji needs a special mention for his cooking, support to guests and running everything smoothly. I will always book this place whenever in Uttaranchal.

Oh Boy! This place is a GEM... Excellent location, rooms and top class service by Prakash Ji and his team, beating any 5-star place...

PS: Choice of many celebrities as well

“Enjoyed the stay and relished the food”

Amazingly beautiful and comfortable property. Special Kudos to their care taker cum cook Prakash and his team for making our short stay memorable and we did relish the food cooked by him. We were made feel at home away from home. I will certainly stay here again and recommend others too.

“Rejuvenate your senses while you bask in the beauty of the Mother Nature!”

Deodar Homestay exceeded our expectations right from the get-go. The moment we entered the gates, the tall trees probably the Himalayan deodar (makes sense given the name of this homestay already implies) serenaded us with a gentle breeze. For us, this was a weekend getaway and it couldn't have been any better. What else? All we had to do was sip tea, relax with a good book, and have long conversations. Not to forget their two lovely golden retrievers and a cat that added so much to our delight! Talk about the homestay. The room; comfort; cleanliness; staff and overall hospitality - we had it all. While there is no restaurant on site, you can avail home cooked meals. Roads are good and the property has ample space for parking. To sum it all. If I have to revisit Almora, I would choose this property once again, and this time not for a 2 night stay, but for a good week long retreat and may be more. Who knows? :)

“It was wondrous. Far, far beyond expectations.”

Just everything was as perfect as one could have wished - the location, the estate, the gardens, the views, the staff, the hosts, the food, the personalised care, the attention to detail, local knowledge of the owners - superlative in every respect.

“Superlative on every count”

Every thing

“Beautiful homestay with everything exceeding expectations”

Mr Prakash was very courteous and exceptional in cooking and handling customer. Plus the owner took personal interest in all aspects of the visitors stay

“This is the best place I have ever visited.”

This is an excellent property in a very beautiful location ! Room and toilet are spotless clean, excellent service and great food ! Highly recommended!
