Sewage Septic Tank
It has proper sewage system.

Garbage disposal area

Cleanliness
There is lack of cleanliness in bathrooms.  There is no dustbin in bathrooms as well as in rooms.

As per survey, everything is perfect as per Homestay norms and the host is hospitable, good, hardworking but there is a lack of cleanliness and hygiene which is very important.  Bathroom corners especially near water outlets are dirty. There is no dustbin in bathrooms. The host must take good care of cleanliness, hygienic and aesthetic upkeep of their Homestay to grow even more in the future. Small effort makes a difference. Good luck!
