This homestay is good for students who are used to staying in hostels with a strict and stern warden. Actually, the name should be changed to Garden Villa Hostel. We called up Mr. Raj to arrange for dinner and he said since its late and we had to make our own arrangements for dinner. He did not have any courtesy.... More

It was a good, basic place to stay in Agra. A little hard to find but that seems to be normal in India. The host was helpful in planning the timing of our trip to the Taj.(We opted for sunrise before it gets too hot).

An oasis of brilliant flowers to welcome you. A really nice place to stay, comfortable and quiet and the rooms are excellent. Our host and family were all charming and hospitable - we like homestays in India but this was a particularly good one. Food delicious. Highly recommended

We stayed for 6 enjoyable nights at this very well run homestay. Our host made efficient arrangements for numerous excursions near to Agra and further afield and we were pleased to make use of his extensive knowledge of Indian tourism. The homestay was far enough from the centre of Agra to ensure peace and quiet but near enough so a... More

Did not find it a particularly welcoming place, although it was perfectly adequate. The owner was businesslike, and not particularly warm. The dinner (we paid extra for it) and breakfast were again adequate, but minimal. We arrived at a time when it was quite cool and the rooms were freezing. Although the owner eventually found a heater for us at... More

Very helpful owner (Rajbansh) advised a great restaurant for evening meal. Arranged the rickshaw to take us, wait for us and bring us back, so this made up for the remote location of this lovely little homestay. The rooms were nice, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was omelette and fruit, so not very traditional, but nicely presented. Garden Villa Homestay is... More

Garden Villa Homestay is located in a very quiet neighborhood but not far from the action. Our host Raj is trained as an architect. He provided us with really valuable information. Raj arranged transportation from the train station to his place. We had a very warm welcoming along with coffee on the garden. Raj is a highly educated (he speaks... More

My parents in law stayed here on their recent trip to Agra. We booked it for them as they have never been to India before and I wanted them to stay somewhere they would be well looked after - which they definitely were with Mr Ranjbansh. He organised cars for their day trips, recommended good restaurants and even helped to... More

Knowing what I now know having been to Agra and stayed here I would say that this was probably not the best place to stay for me and probably for many others. I was a solo female and stayed here 2 nights (1650Rs per night). I wouldn't stay here again if I returned to Agra and wouldn't recommend to my... More
