Pros:

Our stay at Di Lac Retreat was truly a memorable and relaxing experience. The homestay itself is beautifully maintained, clean, and thoughtfully designed, offering a peaceful atmosphere that makes you feel instantly at home. Every detail reflects care and comfort, which added greatly to the overall charm of the retreat.

What made our experience exceptional, however, was the outstanding service from Alisha and Akash. They were incredibly welcoming, attentive, and always ready to help with a genuine smile. From ensuring our comfort to promptly assisting with any requests, their hospitality went above and beyond expectations. They made us feel valued and well taken care of throughout our stay.

Thanks to the wonderful homestay and the dedication of Alisha and Akash, our time at Di Lac Retreat was both relaxing and heartwarming. We would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with excellent service and warm hospitality.

Pros:

We stayed here for three days and everything was perfectly clean.
The location is excellent — quiet, peaceful, and with a beautiful view of the city.

We recommend choosing a room with a balcony — it’s the best place to sit with a cup of tea and watch Gangtok unfold below.
The hosts are incredibly kind and helpful, always ready to assist with anything you need.

A memorable stay wrapped in love and comfort
Pros:

Our four-day stay here was absolutely wonderful. Among all the places we’ve stayed, this one truly stands out for its exceptional hospitality. A heartfelt mention to Aleesha, our caretaker — she was simply amazing! So warm, caring, and always there for us with a big smile. She made sure we were comfortable every single moment and went above and beyond to make us feel at home.A special thanks to Akash, who prepared our breakfast today morning — cooked straight from the heart, served with warmth, and full of flavor! You could truly taste the love and effort in every bite. It was the perfect way to start our day.

The view from our room was just breathtaking — waking up to those serene landscapes and peaceful surroundings felt like a dream. Every morning started with calmness and beauty right outside our window, making our stay even more memorable.

Highly recommended for anyone who wants a stay filled with care, comfort, and heartfelt hospitality. 🌿✨

Excellent séjour, très agréable accueil et service
Pros:

La disponibilité du personnel au quotidien. Il nous ont arrangé notre prolongation du séjour chez eux et des besoins de transport. Les repas aux choix et tout fait maison.

Très proche à pied d'un magnifique point de vue: Ganesh Tok

Cons:

Les vues sont excellentes depuis l'hôtel mais il est un peu loin du centre ville pour y retourner à pied (la pente est incroyable). La descente à pied permet par contre de découvrir la ville et ses ruelles et passages cachés.
