Bathroom was down stairs, no paper provided - not a huge deal

We had a great time here. Room was cute & clean. Good location - short walk to sites and hikes... Hosts were friendly. Breakfast was tasty. Facility was not perfect, but a great value for the money

is along the main road so if you are a light sleeper and in the front room can be a little noisy. but traffic tends to die down to almost nothing at night.

close walk to namobuddha so you can try to catch the goings on at all hours of the day if you wanted to. food was EXCELLENT and some of the best pakodas i've never had in my life. owner and family area kind and always there willing to answer questions with a smile.

If you're looking for a peaceful place in Namobuddha, just steps away from the monastery, Namaste Homestay is the perfect spot! We spent two days in this wonderful place with a beautiful crew, surrounded by local people, amazing landscapes and immersed in the spiritual life of the monastery. (There are three open meditation sessions daily, and it's easy to join in.) During our visit, we had the chance to take an off-the-map trek and discover the authentic everyday life of Nepali and Tamang communities. Prims and Ian (owners of the homestay) are also involved in powerful social projects in the valley, which we had the chance to witness up close.

Can't think of anything!

Lovely vibe with an amazing family running their own hotel stay. Kind and considerate extra touches. Helped us navigate our connections with local bus hops back to Boudinath. Super helpful! Relaxing atmosphere, great roof terrace with views. Delicious homemade food. Seriously delicious! Clean comfortable rooms and a chance to hear about local charity that supports local villages to access clean water supplies. 20 minutes easy walk to the Monastery.

Such a cozy, and homely place. I immediately felt safe after meeting the family and their beautiful children. The beds were incredibly comfortable, shower was great and warm, with a clean toilet, the view and location made it a 10, as the bedrooms can look to either the sunrise or sunset. And to top it off, the food was insane - best Nepali veg curry I’ve ever had.

I loved absolutely everything about my stay! After the hustle and bustle of the main locations in Nepal, coming to Namaste Homestay made my heart sing. the view from the room was amazing and the fresh mountain air just made so happy! Every morning i would wake up super early and look at the scenery changing from dawn to day, it was like experiencing heaven! there is a little garden where you can sit, eat, read a book and sip a cup of tea. They grow their own vegetables and herbs and it feels so good to sit in peace there. The owners are amazing good people, and when i couldn’t find a ride to go back towards Kathmandu, they gave me a moto ride to the closest town. They have a lovely family and there are always kids around that will definitely steal you a smile or a laugh or a little play! The wifi works very well. Namobuddha is reachable by an easy walk and everyone is lovely around the village. What a gem! Definitely recommended Thank you again, so much love, i will come back!

The best homestay I've ever stayed in.. Prem and his family are the greatest people I've met in Nepal ( and I mean it!!). You will have an opportunity to stay with many locals and share about their culture. A lot of cute kids were always playing around, so the place was really lively. The food was excellent and the room & bathroom were sparkling clean! The village of Namobuddha is very authentic and the scenery stunning. If you're lucky enough, you will also have the opportunity to meet Ian who lives there and runs a charity association to provide water pipelines for remote villages. Trust me, go there ...that's the kind of place you will never forget.

We loved everything about Namaste Homestay! My partner and I stayed here for one night on a hike in the Kathmandu valley. Our room was spotless and comfortable with a beautiful view. Prem and Ian were such wonderful hosts - communicative, thoughtful, so friendly and also completely respected your privacy. Prem cooked us an absolutely delicious dinner (with cold beer available!) and breakfast, he clearly put so much effort into the food and it really came though. The bathroom was also spotless and the water was hot. We couldn’t fault this property and would highly recommend it. It was a highlight of our 4 month trip! Thank you Prem and Ian!

After almost one month travelling we found this amazing homestay where we felt like home and had some of our best days in this incredible country. It's been truly a gift to find this beautiful family, the accommodation is just perfect with stunning views of the valley and the monastery, the room is super cute and very comfortable, and the food is delicious. Namobuddha and surroundings are very interesting and peaceful, we came for 2 days and stayed 5! This kind of place remains forever in the heart and its memory will draw a smile on your face when you'll think of them. Thank you to all the family! We'll come back!

I was there in March, and the temperature in the morning was a bit chilly to shower in the unheated bathroom.

Beautiful view from my room. Prim and Ian are more than kind and helpful. The food was great. Excellent value for money.

For a homestay in rural Nepal it met our requirements

It was fabulous! Basic amenities but Prem and Panju and their family made us feel so at home. We will definitely be back!

I wanted to pay using Wise money transfer. It wasn't that straightforward to obtain the correct bank details in time for my departure. I would have preferred to get that out of the way before leaving the guesthouse.

Prym really goes the extra mile to make all of the guests feel comfortable. Both he and his wife are extremely friendly, lovely people. The guesthouse has magnificent views of Namo Buddha monastery and the Himalayas. Prym brought me early in the morning and picked me up at the monastery every evening on his scooter. The bathrooms and rooms were very clean and comfortable. I ate some delicious meals on the rooftop and in the garden. They grow their own vegetables, and brew their own lemongrass liquor. I don't drink, but I heard from other guests that it was wonderful.

Room without baseroom but in the ground floor is a little bit inconvenient, fortunately it's new and clean.

The sunset view from rooftop is beautiful.

An absolute must stay, (more than 1 night!). Whether you visit the Namobuddha Monastery, hike the trails, sit street level or on the rooftop taking in the sights and sounds (which you could do for days), Namaste Homestay is THE spot! Prem and his kind family will make sure you are well fed and looked after.
