Value for money
Average

Good host
Husband and wife both are hospitable couple.

Hygiene
Poor hygiene.  Rooms and bathrooms are not hygiene.

Organic food
They don’t have kitchen garden. So, all vegetables and fruits are from main market.

Sewage Septic Tank
It has proper sewage system.

Garbage disposal area
Department of Urban development garbage vehicle come every day except Sunday to collect garbage. So, host keep their garbage at the front of their house gate and the Deptt. worker collect them.

Cleanliness
There is lack of cleanliness. Linens are dirty. The bathroom corners especially near water outlets are dirty. There is no dustbin in bathrooms.

As per survey, everything is average.  The host is hospitable, good.  but there is a lack of cleanliness and hygiene which is very important. As per my experience I found that linens are dirty. There is no wardrobe in the rooms. 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  great difference. GOOD LUCK
