What can I say about Kinlay’s place!!! Words cannot do justice to what the experience was. Simple traditional home-very traditional and exactly what was described. But the real deal was Kinlay and her family (Yonten, Kayto and the three dogs - Dema, Aktu, Choktu)- they made the stay brilliant - they made us feel so comfortable that it was like living with close friends - home made food, long chats till late by the fireside sipping Ara. You have set the benchmark in homestays for me and I doubt if anybody will ever better this. I saw one or two negative reviews about this place - I don’t know what they experienced but I would think it is a case of mismatched expectations - if you are expecting luxury, the sanitised professionalism of a hotel then this is not the place you should book. If you are looking for a simple comfortable homestay experiencing the local way of life-then look no further.

This is a very spacious, clean space to spend in Paro. The hosts are hospitable though we didn't have much time to talk with them due to our busy schedules. The rooms are comfortable and the heater is good to have as it was cold for us. The view is also very beautiful from the rooms. The dinner was a bit disappointing - we had ordered for soup, paneer and rotis which took more than 1 hour to prepare only to find that the soup was a packet soup and paneer and roti were just about ok. The breakfast was nice though a bit expensive for the quantity served. The hosts were gracious to accompany us to the annual festival and let us be a part of it with them as our driver was unable to find parking. They patiently explained the significance of the festival and that helped a lot. They also were generous to drive us back to the lodge. We wish we had more time there. We would recommend at least 3 days stay if you want to experience the place properly.

the village stay is right in the middle of Chimi lakhang village. the host welcomed us in their traditional Bhutanese culture. Food was prepared in authentic Bhutanese cusine. 100% homely food. we stayed in top floor it had 1.5 bathrooms (Not attached to room) which was really neat and clean, upto any good hotel standards. Traditional Bhutanese homes do not have the concept of attached bathrooms. the room was a cosy place, though small, it just felt home, clean and tidy. There are no cots in the room & that is the traditional Bhutanese way of sleeping on floor with a really comfortable matress. we had their home made local Arra wine and had a really great time till 11pm at night talking with the hosts in their front porch. it is a stay in Bhutanese Home and it is authentic to just that. they have all the required comforts you need. But if you are expecting a 3star hotel like stay, then you are in for a disappointment. if you want to experience Bhutanese living, this is it.!
