    We stayed at Elite. Very good value for money and conveniently located near a Grace supermarket. We stayed here at the end of our trip, it was convenient to the airport and provided all the facilities we needed. Martin the caretaker and his family are friendly and helpful. The instructions on finding the homestay, including a video, are spot-on.

    A recently redone room, we had our driver stay here due to proximity. Mr Rajkumar was very prompt in responding to our requests. He was very open and honest about the rooms shortcomings as well and his plan to address the same. Very good host!

    I have been to Sam and Marina's homestay many times. And its always a pleasure to come. I feel at home. The room is so nice and clean. The food is amazing. Sam and Marina are so nice, and always helping to make sure you have a good time. They are more than good hosts, they make you feel like family
