Reviews of Sunrise Point Homestay

- The staff was friendly - They bring the food you ordered to your room - It's a family business, and they have this hotel as their way of living

- it's 1'5 Kms to town, but walking stiff up the hill all the way. - There is nothing around, no shops. Which is good if you don't need to get something, but otherwise, you have to walk up 20-25 minutes - If you want to eat something, you have to order it well in advance, because they don't keep food there and they have to get the things. I came at 4 pm after having walked for 4 hours up a mountain, and was very tired, having not eaten anything that day, and I had to go to town... Again walking up. - The bed was uncomfortable. Very thin mattress over a wooden bed base

Location and friendly staff. Peace and quiet until Friday .

Don't expect peace and tranquility.... Initially very accommodating.. peaceful until Friday Local boys from Katmandu arrive for all night party and drinking/ smoking...continue into following day It was not pleasant as a solo female traveller.

distance from this homestay to the center of Nagarkot is more than 0.6 km. However, the view from the place is very nice. We booked the cheaper room, which did not have slippers, toilet paper, or a mirror inside. However, the shared bathroom had hot water. There was also no sink with a tap for washing hands. The food was relatively tasty, and the prices were almost the same as in town. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful.

Lack of a sink, slippers, and a mirror in the room

Peaceful home stay in the mountains. Delicious food, friendly staff and we felt a part of the family. Loved the authentic Nepali village vibes 😁

Everything is perfect here, the owners, the food (literally each dish was the best I had in Nepal), the views, the ambience… There are some hikes around, town is walking distance, cute local villages too! Stayed 4 nights but I’d definitely stay even longer next time!

A nice home stay with great views to valley and rice fields . Big room, two double beds, nice balcony. Attached restaurant very convenient and food is tasty. Value for money. We did nagarkot hiking trail and we enjoyed marvelous views. Trail starts behind nagarkot village view hotel (300 meters from hotel uphill) and goes straight doing a circle. Path is flat. At the end either you turn left, to find asphalt road, walk uphill 30 minutes, cross village and return homestay, or you return same way.

We had the impression that nagarkot was flat. It's the opposite. Only the main village, approximately 500 meters long is flat, everything else is a steep uphill or down hill . Home stay is minimum 25 minutes down hill. If you want to have lunch or dinner and you don't want to use their restaurant, which is very good by the way, it's not that simple. Don't expect to see sunrise or mountains summits. Usually, there is no visibility in the morning and poor visibility in the afternoon( that was the weather all 20 days we were in nepal, i don't know for other seasons l) Of course you can enjoy the landscape around which is very nice.. Bathroom is very small, hot water pressure low but nothing is a big issue.

Staying here was a truly unique experience. The staff were incredibly welcoming and took the time to teach us about Nepalese culture, making us feel right at home. On top of that, the food was homemade and absolutely delicious. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic and heartwarming stay

Polite and helpful staff, great food. Nice view and WiFi strong. Everything you need.

A wonderful and peaceful location, a warm welcome, and excellent food!

Lovely hosts Wonderful views from room Excellent food....all freshly cooked with home grown ingredients Good basic accommodation with comfortable bed

A little isolated Lots of steps Needed mosquito repellent

The location could not have been better. The sun rose outside our window. We sat on a bench outside our room to watch but we could have seen it from our beds. The staff are wonderful, nothing was too much trouble. They arranged everything we needed. And the bus to Khatmandu stops directly outside.

The mattress was a little hard but it didn’t stop me having a wonderfully restful night’s sleep.

Beautiful view, tasty homemade foods with good prices, amazing and helpful family 😄

Nothing

Friendly homestay, great view!

I had envisioned that Sunrise Point Homestay as the perfect stay for a peek into the universal place that is the Himalayan range. And I was not disappointed. This place reminds us that life thrives with simplicity. You will find a beautiful family in the Kumar family, who all run the guesthouse as their family business. But be respectful, their family house is next to it. They generously allowed me to visit parts of it (animal shed, rice drink produce by the matriarch and more). The sunrise exists and it is glorious. You actually get front seats for it if the weather allows so, surrounded by the sounds of nature and, sometimes, the Tamang language spoken by the Kumars (who also speak English and Nepali). Will go back someday, for sure. Let´s help them thrive.

As a future endeavour or business idea for the Nagarkot community (not just the business owners): is there any way for getting a taxi or similar transportation in the case a tourist wants to go to the Homestay after nightfall? (the road is quite dark at that hour to go on foot to the Homestay).

Everything

The view and the food was fantastic!

It was my second time at this place. The owner’s family is very welcoming. I wish I could stay longer.

This homestay is a beautiful spot. Very laid-back atmosphere, lovely garden around and very friendly host. The Food was excellent and cheap, one of the best we had in Nepal! You have to wait for it a bit tho, but it's all cooked fresh. We are bird-watchers and the amount of birds you can spot from the terrace or balcony is just amazing! We really loved our stay here and would come back anytime! For that price, this is an absolute gem.

The only minus point would be the bed. The rooms with a shared bathroom have a very thin mattress on top of a wooden board, which was just too hard for us. I don't know about the ensuite rooms tho. If they would invest in some good mattresses, this could be heaven!

Was there for 5 nights but could have happily stayed for 2 weeks. Food was amazing and almost all home grown. Location also perfect (just outside the town, with a beautiful view) and lots of nearby hiking trails/tracks/villages to explore. Probably my favourite place in Nepal.
