We stayed at this homestay from 24th January 2026 to 26th January 2026, and our experience was very good. The rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable. The stay is well-equipped with all essential amenities, including a kitchen with a fridge and microwave, which was very convenient. They also provide toiletries and house slippers for all four guests. The host’s behaviour is very good—polite, helpful, and responsive, which made our stay even more pleasant. Free Wi-Fi is available and works well. The location is excellent, very close to Sriniketan and Visva-Bharati University campus, making it a perfect place to stay for visitors. Overall, it truly felt like a home away from home. Highly recommended.

Aayna Homestay is a truly special place to stay. Owned by the renowned artist Sanatan Saha, the homestay reflects art, culture, and warmth in every corner. The house itself feels like a cultural space—tastefully done, peaceful, and inspiring. The rooms are spotlessly clean, and the environment is quiet, calm, and perfect for relaxation. What makes the stay exceptional is the awesome hospitality by Mr. Sanatan Saha and his wife. Their behaviour is extremely polite, caring, and welcoming, making guests feel completely at home. The home-cooked food is delicious, prepared with love and great care. Overall, Aayna Homestay offers not just accommodation, but a beautiful cultural and heartfelt experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for comfort, peace, and genuine hospitality. 🌿🎨
