What a great place to stay! It's a very traditional Indian house, all the family lives there so my boyfriend and I were able to see their routine. We arrived in the afternoon, very welcomed from the family. We went to our room, rested for a bit and came down to have dinner. Great food, best Dal ever!! The owner... More

I stayed here for three nights with a friend on a trip round northern India. Arriving on a train very early in the morning we were greeted by Mr Singhs son and daughter in law. The bedroom and bathroom were clean and comfortable. The breakfasts and dinners were plentiful and delicious. The most important point is that the family were... More

We stayed with the Singh's in October 2011 and really enjoyed it. The family were very welcoming and spent time chatting with us and explaining Indian culture - we even got to see their daughter's wedding pictures! The food was also really good - homecooked Indian. Far enough from the centre of Agra that you didn't get the noise but... More

This is very basic accommodation. The rooms lack ambience with furnishings, bedding and linen of poor quality. There were no toiletries and the family do not have a hair dryer to loan. Plastic table and chairs in the room doesn't help. Breakfast was dry toast, jam, eggs and a fruit box. We were not offered the option of Indian food,... More

Lovely large basic rooms with very friendly and accomodating Singh family. Overnight train was 1.5 hours late but only needed a call on arrival and we were picked up. Extra breakfast very welcomed and happy for us to crash out to get some rest. Trips to the Agra fort, Baby Taj all arranged through the family with lovely driver. He... More

The Heritage homestay is a fantastic B and B style accommodation run by an extremely friendly and helpful family. It was great to get off the train after a long journey then relax in the homestay grounds with a cold beer chatting with the patriarch of the family. We opted for the dinner which was a brilliant move as this... More

Staying with this family was a very interesting and memorable experience. During our five week trip to India we stayed in 3 different home stays, and it was always fascinating to see the different generations living together. This family was very willing to share their lives with us their guests. I really enjoyed this aspect of staying here. The home... More

My boyfriend and I stayed in this Homestay for 3 days... 3 days might be a little too much to visit Agra, but staying at this Homestay made it perfect! Ever since the initial booking, everything run smoothly. Pick up at the train station, arrival at the house, greeting by Mr. Singh and his wife, with a cup of tea.... More

We only stayed one night and the Singh family were very welcoming and the rooms clean, though basic. The location is quiet too. The biggest issue was the large number of mosquitos, we were very glad we had our own nets to put up!

The owners of this homestay couldn't have been kinder to us. The location is on a quiet, residential street not far from either train station, or the Taj. Veenu will prepare either an Indian or Western breakfast each morning. We ran into some difficulty when trying to catch our train to leave and ended up staying an extra night. They... More
