Awesome-Spectacular-Adventurous
Pros:

Every single thing about this property was spectacular. From the room to the view from the room, from the food to the way it was served, from the cleanliness to the hospitality-everything was top-notch. Uncle and Aunty were the sweetest hosts. I’m glad I chose Hermit Retreat for my stay during my visit to Darjeeling after 25 years.

There are quite a few stairs from the main road to reach the property, but that only added to the adventure. I would highly recommend this place for your stay and would love to visit again. 🥰

Cons:

Not a single thing to mention.

A great choice at a great location and price.
Pros:

The atmosphere, the standard of the accommodations and services, and the host's friendliness were all very appealing to us.

Cons:

The complimentary breakfast was not that good. We had Chole-Puri. Puri was fully made up of maida. Also, the quality of tea and coffee should be improved.

Exceptional hospitality in a tranquil location
Pros:

This is an exceptionally good homestay, as the reviews here indicate. We enjoyed the hospitality, local knowledge and helpfulness of the hosts, with Mr Trogawa doubling as trek organiser, transport manager and driver. The quiet location away from the centre and down from the road was a big plus (tranquillity, superb views and starry nights). There was no need to find a restaurant as the home cooking was so good. The steps up and down from the main road and the walk into the centre weren't a problem for us but if you have a lot of baggage, are unfit or want to hit the town every night this might not be the ideal property.

Cons:

Nothing.
