Great place to stay! The rooms were clean, the staff was friendly, and the location was perfect for exploring the city. Good value for the price. I’d definitely come back!

Everything was perfect

I had the pleasure of staying at west point backpacks hostel for 10 days, and it was truly a memorable experience. From the moment I arrived, the owner made me feel like part of the family—warm, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything I needed. It genuinely felt like home throughout my stay. The place was spotlessly clean and hygienic, which made it even more comfortable. One of the little things that made a big difference was the unlimited tea available in the room—such a thoughtful and relaxing touch. The view from the property was absolutely beautiful, offering a peaceful and refreshing backdrop every day. I couldn’t have asked for a better environment to unwind and recharge. Overall, I had a fantastic stay and would absolutely love to return. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a homely, serene, and well-cared-for place to stay.

This hostel is perfect for travelers looking to connect with others, away from the chaos of the city center. The host is incredibly thoughtful, and on a clear day, you can even see Kanchenjunga from the hostel. I’d highly recommend it just for the vibes.

Nothing as such.

Rebecca was such a warm host. She made the entire stay so comfortable and guided the near about location. My sweater got drenched in rain so she offered me some new warm clothes. She and her brother has lots of heartwarming stories to fill your soul. Will come back again 🫰🏻

It can get very loud, it‘s directly on the street. So cars start honking a 5 am in the morning.

A neat and clean Hostel about 2 km from the centre of Darjeeling, easy to get to with a shared taxi (in front of the house). Lovely staff, very welcoming and friendly. Rooms are spacious and clean.

Nothing to say

We had an amazing stay. The hosts took exceptional care of us. The room was spacious and cozy. The location was convenient (few steps away from some main attractions).

Our stay at Rebecca's hostel was perfect! We stayed there for about a week, as the location was great. It's located a bit away from the city centre, but the shared jeeps goes right outside the door, and works like local buses. The tea and boiler in the room was such a nice detail, that helped a lot in the cold march mornings. Thank you so much for the hospitality and warmth! We will remember our stay at Rebecca's in Darjeeling 😊🙏

None

I had a wonderful stay at this homestay in Darjeeling for the second time, and it truly felt like home. Rebecca, the host, was incredibly warm and welcoming, making the experience even more amazing. The complimentary breakfast was delicious, and the breathtaking view of Kanchenjunga from the balcony was the perfect way to start the day. Highly recommended for a cozy and memorable stay!

Not negative per se and not specific to the accom but something to keep in mind: Darjeeling can get quite cold! The room has no heating so gets quite chilly in very cold weather like I had during my stay, please consider that if you are affected by the cold! As I said above, the electric mattress heater kept me warm, though sometimes Darjeeling has electricity problems and you may be left without :) When this happened to me, the lovely staff provided some boiling water from the gas stove upstairs so I could still make myself some tea to warm up.

The room was large, comfortable, and clean, and the electric mattress heater, on the very comfortable and cosy big bed, was a lifesaver in the cold weather. I am sure the view is great when the weather is clearer, but the location was still very good - it is easy to get anywhere in Darjeeling and it was fun to see and hear the Toy Trains going past. The staff are so lovely and helpful and go above and beyond, with all recommendations and information, and amazing Darjeeling tea and handmade chocolates provided! Thanks for having me!

Decent location with a very good mountain view from the room. Host/Owner and her manager was very nice and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay.

Highly recommend. The rooms are lovely, with beautiful views of the mountains in the distance. We spent our time enjoying the view while enjoying the complimentary Darjeeling tea and homemade chocolates on the balcony! The service is incredible, with the hostel owner and manager going out of their way to ensure you have a comfortable stay. Both are very knowledgeable about the area, with loads of recommendations. Thank you again, Becky and Subu, for your care and thoughtfulness that made our stay so special.

Our host , Rebecca and Shubhanjali made me feel like family with their warm smiles and genuine care. The hospitality was unmatched—they went above and beyond to ensure every moment of my stay was comfortable and memorable. The hostel itself is a haven for travelers, with clean and cozy rooms, beautiful decor, and a welcoming atmosphere

I can't think of anything. This is probably nitpicking but the walls could be a bit thicker I suppose. We think we accidentally woke up our neighbour a couple of times.

I had high expectations going in, having read the reviews at Booking.com and having chosen this place because of its high reviews. But my actual expectation ended up exceeding those expectations. We ended up having a medical emergency (unrelated to our travel to this venue) and needed to change our plans last minute, hoping to salvage the trip. Rebecca and Shubhanjali (the manager) were incredibly understanding, accommodating and helpful, and helped us make the most of the trip, even when the requests bordered on unreasonable. Look, on a trip like this, it matters a lot where you stay, and the kind of equation you have with the host. And for us, that was the key difference. The place is nice, warm, and inviting, and ended up being just what we needed. The view is unbelievable, and on clear days you can see the vast expanse of the Kunchenjunga range towering over the city on the hills. You get drinking water from the tap, which is always a bonus. The water is from a mountain spring and can be really great for your skin and palate. We had darjeeling tea in our room with a kettle, to sit and unwind with after a tiring day of exploring the alleyways of this mystical city.

West point backpackers has been my favorite place to stay so far on our trip. When we first arrived in December, the power was out across the town, so we were a little worried about heating as it was pretty cold. We were assured it would all be fine and it was. By the evening the power was back and our bed was so warm and cosy heated by the electric blanket. The family offered to buy a heater too, if we needed it, for a small daily fee, we chose not to in the end, but we're happy the option was there. The views from our balcony are incredible. Our hosts left delicious homemade chocolates for us, Darjeeling tea and bought us a little present of homemade crisps half way through our stay. Sharon, Shubanjali and family were the perfect hosts and really understand the meaning of hospitality. Rebecca, was not there, but was easy to contact and gave us lots of useful local info. We enjoyed so much our delicious breakfasts with them and conversations. The family will go out of there way to make sure your comfortable and we even hitched a lift to silguri at the end of our stay with them. We enjoyed exploring around the town, going on treks, which we could reach the start easily by foot. The property is set next to the road, but we worked around that and found the nature close by when we wanted. I personally love the vibe of Darjeeling and the influence from Nepalese and Tibetan culture. Happy Christmas everyone!

There's nothing to dislike.

The view of Mt Kanchenjunga from the balcony was something that we didn't expect to see. The owner as well as the manager were very sweet and kind to us. Rebecca, the owner, gave us yummy momos to eat as dinner as a sweet gesture during our last night. She was constantly in touch with us through her manager asking us pur well-being and our day. I would love to visit again in future. The place is clean and cozy. You may ask for extra blanket (only during extreme cold months).And the hand-made chocolates provided by her in our room was cherry on the top.

The room was rather dark, humid and cold, the bathroom was VERY cold and without any natural light. Towels remained soaking wet throughout our stay. No place to hang stuff where it would dry. The shower is bucket style only, which was OK for us, but maybe not so comfortable if you want to wash your long hair. The hostel is situated about a 30-minutes walk from downtown Darjeeling, at the mainroad, which is heavily congested and polluted, and the traffic noise is just terrible, even at night.

Rebecca, the host, and all her family seemed to be very nice. They provide you with tea and homemade chocolates in the room and they give you some very useful information about Darjeeling. Breakfast was homemade, fresh and delicious and one could even ask for some more. The room was clean, the double bed very comfortable. Rebecca helped us a lot with finding out about how and where to do the ILP for Sikkim, as the information was very contradictory and confusing. Thank you!

Nothing. The only thing to keep in mind - the hostel is on the main road away from the Mall, you can catch shared taxis right in front for just 15 INR. I think a 10 minute ride.

Great place and an amazing host, Rebecca. Super thanks for hosting us. She is very knowledgeable about Darjeeling and a lovely person, and took care of us as a family. We loved her efforts to make the hostel sustainable and highly appreciate her views on the environment and especially the future of the hills. The location is great, we had the best views of Kanchan Junga peaks right from the balcony. The hostel is on the main road, still away from crowds, walkable distance from the peace pagoda, Batasia, monasteries and the toy train goes right in front. Pro tip - don't miss breakfast with her.

It is very comfortable to stay here with beautiful mountain views. Darjeeling tea and thoughtful welcome chocolates are provided in the room. The owner Rebecca is a very enthusiastic and proactive person and provides very sufficient information about Darjeeling. Helped to solve any of my problems. I recommend to everyone who comes to Darjeeling to experience the enjoyment of staying here. I will come again.❤️❤️❤️

I did not plan for peak tourist season in Darjeeling. This is my fault of course. However, because of the traffic, I found it easier to walk than to take cabs to the city center. Also, the mountain air is not as fresh due to the vehicle traffic. Also, once again my fault, but if you live in South/West India or in a warmer climate, bring a jacket as Darjeeling can get a bit chilly.

Nice property with clean bedding. Wood panelled walls Amazing owner and management staff that are extremely responsive and have plenty of recommendations for travelers of all stripes. The owner is very familiar with international guests and has a cool background. The room had delicious handmade Darjeeling tea, which comes in handy on a crisp Darjeeling night or morning. Also, there is an awesome guy across the street who makes delicious momos, rice, and other fare. He will bring the food to your room, but I recommend you go to his shop to interact. On the last day, even got a peak of the mountains. One cool thing about Darjeeling is that unlike others parts of India, the people are not pushy. You can say no to a shopkeeper and it will not be a five minute ordeal. Also, the people seem warmer towards or at least more curious about foreigners than other parts of India.

Traditional style charming building by the main road. Quiet at night. Comfortable, very clean and well maintained. The hospitality of the owner is just amazing, and her advices priceless. We spent hours talking about everything, but especially about tea. If you come for tea, I think there's no better place. Feels like home, no: better!
