Rooms, food and family vibe

Stayed in July 2025

From the moment you walk into the property, you are welcomed with a comfy loving feeling. The owners on many occasions went out of their way to meet my needs. The food is delicious. Mira is able to make anything requested. Many, if not all, of the ingredients are organic and home grown. I had such a great time hanging out in the evenings whether it be our own dance party or simply sharing a glass of wine. Property is very clean. Much cleaner than I had expected. I’m will miss my new friends but find comfort in knowing I will be back❤️

Nothing!

I assure you that you can please yourself at this wonderful hostel!! I'd love to come back this place in my future, and I recommend my friends who would visit Kathmandu! - Mira & Sudarshan's warm hospitality and thoughtful personalities were commendable. They welcomed me as a real family, and I felt like staying in the real home. I could enjoy chatting with them and other guest over tea or dinner. Following my request, they offered cooking lessons so that I could learn how to cook some traditional Nepali meals (Dal Soup, Curry etc.). I was more than happy, and I'm sure that I would cook after I go back! - Entire building were always well cleaned. Rooms were spacious enough and very clean. - Air-conditioning and hot water were available in the room although it is not so common in Kathmandu. - Small kitchen equipped with plates, cutlery, pan etc. in the room were helpful for me to cook by myself although mostly you can order amazing food :) - Home-made meals were very tasty. They cooked following my preference all the time. ex.) allergy, spicy level, preference of veg etc. - The power went out several times, but there were back up ight in the room, and also wi-fi was available even during the blackout thanks to the backup power. It was soo helpful for me and there was no stress! (blackout happens anywhere in Kathmandu, then you cany blame this place at all :)) - When I had some problems, they were always supporting me very kindly. - There was a cozy rooftop, where you can enjoy great view and fresh air. - This hostel is located in a bit suburb (takes about one hour walk from the central Thamel), but you can find many small shops around. Personally I found several cute cafes around and enjoyed my time there with coffee or tea! I loved them!

Mum's Homestay was a real homestay for me. Great breakfasts and Dinner, lots of chats and the occasional cuddles with Lucky, the dog. I enjoyed walking around in the neighbourhood as well. As a solo traveller I felt safe, and looked after. My room was absolutely spotless and modern with a very comfortable bed. Both Sadarshan and Mira were so friendly and helpful in every way.

Mira and Sudarsan create a home away from home, wonderful and helpful people. I loved having a comfortable base, peaceful and clean but easy access to shops and sights, and went back twice..(also great to have delicious homecooked dinner if you want) Thank you for a fabulous stay.

Everything about my stay was wonderful - I really recommend staying here for a homely experience.

I felt so welcome at Mum's Homestay. It's in a quiet and leafy location, my room was spacious and comfortable, the food was delicious, and I felt really looked after by the hosts. Thank you Mira and family for everything - I'll definitely be back again. ❤️

Great stay. We loved the room, the space, the really comfort bed. But most of all, what a beautiful family this is. We really loved them. They can help you with everything, from store you luggage during a trek to provide a trekking. We already booked through a other organization but next time we definitely book through them. We made friends for life! Place is really good. You can or grab a taxi to tamel or walk around. There are also some places to eat nearby but they also cook fantastic themselves.

The mattress was too soft (personal choice I guess).

Great hosts and place!! cool location, not too central, but much quieter and nicer than the city center, by far. Highly recommend.

One improvement that would be nice is air conditioning, although perhaps at this altitude it is not necessary most of the year. The owners did provide a fan upon request, which I appreciated.

I spent three nights at Mum's Homestay and had a very pleasant stay! The owners are very hospitable and easy to talk with, and they went out of their way to make my stay comfortable, including providing a fan and some complimentary tea. The location is far removed from the bustle of downtown, which I like, although it did take nearly an hour to get to the airport on the day of my departure. While staying here, the owners added a longer desk and seating area in the room, which is a nice improvement. The room and house are thoughtfully designed and decorated, and staying in a homestay like this definitely allows a traveler to better get to know local Nepalis. I can heartily recommend this homestay to all travelers looking for a safe, comfortable and friendly place to work or relax in Kathmandu.

Nothing really.

Mira and Sudarshan were very friendly, thoughtful and caring hosts. Lots of interesting walks can be made from the homestay and it is very relaxing to be away from the mania of downtown Kathmandu. They helped me sort out treatment for a damaged shoulder and were full of lots of ideas of how I could spend my time in the valley. They also attract a wonderful array of guests as well.

Staying at Mum’s Homestay in Kathmandu was an absolutely unforgettable experience. The location is a bit outside the busy city center, which we loved—it was peaceful, quiet, and the perfect place to relax and unwind after exploring the bustling streets of Kathmandu. We enjoyed it so much that we stayed twice! The rooms were spacious, well-equipped, and always tidy. Everything we needed was there, and more. But what truly made this place extraordinary was the incredible hospitality. The lovely couple running the homestay went above and beyond in every way. They offered a menu with a wide range of delicious home-cooked meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner—each dish better than the last! They were always friendly, caring, and ready to help. They chatted with us, offered support while we recovered from the flu, and made us feel so welcome every time we came back. Laundry was no problem either, and every little detail was handled with such warmth. Leaving Mum’s Homestay honestly felt like saying goodbye to family. Both of our stays were truly outstanding, and we can’t recommend this place enough. If you want to experience real Nepali hospitality and feel at home while in Kathmandu, this is the place to be!

It’s a complete and convenient stay. Everything in one place, not too far from thamel but afar enough from the crowd. Mira, the owner is really helpful.

I truly feel like home here! This my first time, travelling that far away alone, seeking a deep connection to not only nature, people or culture but my true self. Your welcoming, caring and kindness really warmed up my heart and gave me confident to explore all the beauty of Nepal. Thank you so much, I’ll come back!

Of course I had to come back :) Best place in Kathmandu without a doubt!!! 100% recommendable 👌🏽

Everything was perfect! Can't be better. Best location, food was better than in every other restaurant in Nepal and the service was outstanding! Thanks a lot for everything 🙏

Our best stay in Nepal. Very clean, neat place with very friendly and helpful owners. Could not ask for more.

I could not find anything to dislike.

I stayed at Mum's Homestay in October 2024 and enjoyed it so much that I decided to return for a second visit. I can only say that it seems even better second time around. The accommodation which is in a particularly nice neighbourhood is spotlessly clean. The hospitality shown by the proprietors, Mira and Sudarshan, is second to none. The food served is truly amazing [and I'm a hard cookie to please.]. Have no doubts or worries whatsoever if you are considering booking into Mum's Homestay. I promise you will not be disappointed.

A meticulously decorated room, freshly prepared food, and two wonderful hosts... what more could you ask for? The closest thing to home you'll find in Kathmandu. 11/10 Thank you for opening your home to me and treating me like family. Sudarshan and Mira have earned a place in my heart.

Very clean room Comfortable bed Hot water Fast WiFi Nice quiet area Great hospitality from the owners who are super nice and make you feel at home

Stayed in March 2025

I have nothing to complain about... We wish we could spend more time there 😀

The building is not in the center of Kathmandu, but the distance is compensated by the tranquility of the neighborhood (much less noisy than the center of Kathmandu) and the hospitality of the owners. Mira is also an excellent cook. For example, it makes amazing soups. As Kathmandu's attractions are located in several scattered areas of the valley, it is a good base for exploring the region using an app on your cell phone to call cheap taxis or motorbikes. It is also possible to reach the center of Kathmandu by bus. We ended up staying longer than originally expected. We quickly felt at home. If you need, the hosts also help plan your visit to Kathmandu or other areas of Nepal.

રોકાણ ખૂબ જ સારું હતું, આ મારો પહેલો અનુભવ હતો પણ કાકા અને કાકીએ મને દીકરા જેવો વ્યવહાર કર્યો, કાઠમંડુમાં ઘરે રહેવાનું શ્રેષ્ઠ હતું, મદદરૂપ થયું, ભોજન એટલું સારું હતું કે જ્યારે હું ગુજરાત આવીશ ત્યારે મને સુદર્શન કાકા અને કાકીની યાદ આવશે, આભાર.

A beautiful stay with a beautiful couple. Lovely, clean and big rooms. Amazing hospitality, we felt so at home!! And even though it was a little far out of the centre, we much preferred it. We loved the neighbourhood and had everything you need nearby, shops, supermarket, restaurants. We also loved the views from the rooftop!

Can’t think of anything.

Location was great especially if you’re looking to cut away from the hustle and bustle. It feels like home away from home. And both hosts are amazing!
