It was a great experience being my first time as a BNB guest.. Harpreet was really helpful from day 1 and the place was really comfortable and felt just like home. Definitely going to come back and stay with them. Cheers

Mrs Singh was very helpful. She gave clear instructions on how to go about exploring the city since I can't speak Hindi. When I was at the Singh's, Mr Singh was in the US but he constantly checked on me with updates before I could arrive. And oh! Mrs Singh's dad was very sweet and he agreed to tie a turban for me which is something I wanted to try for a long time.

Amrit&Harpreet are really gorgeous!! We felt so comfortable and as if we were surrounded by family! They were like parents for us!! Amrit did everything possible to organize our stay in Amritsar, Harpreet is an amazing cook, her paranthas are beyond amazing and the best we have ever eaten!! The room was clean with a beautiful terrace. We can totally recommend this place if you want to experience a genuine stay in Amritsar. Thank you for everything! We will miss you and hope to see you again!! Best wishes, Sani&Katrin

Amrit and Harpreet's place is friendly and welcoming. The room was very clean and private. I enjoyed every moment I spend. Amrit helped me plan my days made everything easy. All the food I had was cooked fresh and was delicious. Harpreet was a fantastic cook. I would definitely recommend to everyone.

Wow! What can I say. Amrit and Harpreet are sensational hosts. They really make you feel like part of the family. Harpreet's cooking is sooo delicious. The room is comfortable and as a single female traveller I felt safe and that if ever I needed anything, my new Punjabi family would be there. I will definitely be back! If you are in Amritsar- this is the only place to stay! Thankyou my fabulous hosts

The room is on the top floor with a balcony outside , it's clean and comfortable. Amrit and Harpreet gave me full information. He help to plan my days in Amritsar and even next destination! It's my first time traveling alone in India, Amrit and Harpreet made me feel like coming back home. Definitely recommended! Just one thing need to be noticed, if you want hot water shower, asked Amrit and checked in advance. During my stays there's no hot water... but it's ok since the weather is hot. Still enjoyable stay!

I had a brilliant experience of staying with Mr and Mrs Amrit and Harpreet. My deep respect to both of them the way they treated me. It never looked like I was a guest there, always felt like a close family member. It was a great stay. Very caring and helpful host Mr. Amrit is. As soon as I booked his place, he started interacting with me and helped me designed my Itinerary, helped me with how to travel to locations in most cost effective way. Although this is not my first time to Amritsar, but definitely my first time alone and I did not wanted to stay is close door hotels. The room with balcony looked like the room I was looking for. As soon as I informed him about my arrival to his location, he came out and guided us to his place. He understood my day schedule and ensures that I follow my schedule. He knows the place very well and guided me on step by step where and how to go. I was visiting Amrtisar from delhi for 1st Marathon being organised and as I had to leave by early morning 4 AM, he called up like an alarm to leave on time. Then post run home Lunch at his house was just awesome and mouth-watering. Just can’t thank enough Aunty ji on the way she treated us with food. And as he shared with me, all locations are nearby from his house, golden temple is just 5-10 mins away and as he says all locations in Amritsar are just 15 mins away. There are local shops nearby and one can get all necessary things as required. And then the last day of departure, although I had booked my cab which would have come in easily, but he dropped me to Station early in the morning at 4 AM on his bike, hats off to this gentleman’s attitude and love and care for his guests ! I would sure love to stay here on my next visit to Amritsar and also recommended this place for a safe and stress free stay. Thank you once again !!

My stay at Amrit's and Harpreet's homestay and it is a homestay not a hotel was very enjoyable . Their hospitality and wealth of information about the area make it easy to experience Amritsar the way it should. Along with Harpreet's absolutely delicious home cooked meals and the comfortable homey feel make this homestay a must if journeying to Amritsar. Would definitely stay again!

Amazing location and very helpful staff. Definitely a budget hotel, but worth the money.

Had a great stay at the Nest. Room was clean, good wifi reception and value for money. Very helpful, kind and friendly staff for all the assistance provided, even if you are not feeling well (Mr Gurvinder Singh, Shorta and the rest). Good location, walking distance to Golden Temple. Good place to make friends with people from around the globe.

It was my first visit to Amritsar and I decided to stay at Backpackers nest. I am extremely pleased with the choice I made to stay there. The hotel is situated in a great location, just walking distance to the Golden temple. Plenty of little restaurants and shops around. Raman and her staff have been extremely kind, helpful and friendly. My room was spacious, clean and had all the basic necessities. Shower was cold water and I believe this is normal. This was never a problem for me. Staff member Singh was very friendly and helpful and he arranged me to get a taxi to the airport. He also arranged few of us to get a shared taxi to the Wagah border. Streets can be a bit loud at night but this was not an issue. They were doing some sort of building work in the downstair dormitory rooms and this was loud in the night and early morning. Again this was not an issue for me. There was a stable wifi all the time. I met several other wonderful travellers during my 3 days in the hostel. I recommend anyone to go with an open mind and take in the experience with equanimity. Overall, i am very pleased with my stay.

The room was clean and safe! The staff there were very helpful arranging transportation and recommending restaurants. Location was prime as well. Super host. Would stay here again and recommend!

Backpackers Nest is a decent stay option. The location is just next to the Heritage Street, the Golden Temple and other places to visit in Amritsar. The host was reachable and helped us with the directions. The check-in and check-out procedures were smooth. The washroom was clean and well equipped. The rooms were cozy and small, and the place is ideal for travellers who want to crash-in for the night and spend the better part of the day outside. My suggestion would be to include some indoor activities or a chilling area, if space constraints aren't there. Overall, we had a comfortable stay. Thanks Raman!!

I would definitely recommend staying with Gurinder if you want to see Punjab and learn about the Punjabi people. Gurinder and his family are lovely, welcoming hosts. They made us feel very much at home. His house is located in a quiet neighbourhood - it was nice after the hustle and bustle of downtown Amritsar to return to a home. He went out of his way to ensure our trip was pleasant: picking and dropping us off, explaining about his culture, taking us on tours, feeding us, etc. Meals and tours were at an additional cost. The two tours of the countryside and the trip to the Pakistani border were great. His place is family-friendly - our children had a great time at his house.

Nice and quite neighborhood, a little far from golden temple (20 minutes by rickshaw). Gurinder was friendly and helpful in all moment, we felt very confortable.

Une bien belle expérience chez Gurinder Singh et sa famille ! Une grande chambre à quelques kilometres du centre et de son agitation frénétique et bruyante. Gurinder est passionné par le Pendjab et n'hésitera pas à vous conseiller . J'y ai été reçu comme un ami et serais volontiers resté plus longtemps que ces 4 jours.

I had a wonderful stay with Gurinder and his family. It was an interesting experience to stay in the outskirts of Amritsar away from all the craze of the city. I appreciated the interest the host took in me and figuring out all the transportation to and from his place. Would definitely recommend (along with some real North Indian food!).

Gurinder and his family provided a fantastic experience and insight into the daily life of a Punjabi family. As soon as we arrived, we felt at home. Gurinder was great in communicating with us before our arrival and picked us up from the airport and, when we left, dropped us off at the bus station. He was very helpful in providing info about the Golden Temple and buses etc. We had some good fun times with the family. All was as described and met our expectations. The garden was a real plus - the amount of different birds was amazing - great for nature lovers! We had breakfast and dinner made by Gurinders lovely wife and both meals were incredible! Staying outside of the city is a plus - it is quieter and extremely easy to get into the centre.

Gurinder's home was lovely. It's out of the hustle-bustle and the constant honking noise of the city, and in a peaceful neighborhood. We stayed there for 4 nights, and had a great time! He was very helpful in recommending where we should go and helping us arrange a ride around Amritsar. The driver he arranged for us, Vikram, was also very helpful. Best of all, Gurinder's family was just the warmest people you can meet. I miss them already!

Accueil très chaleureux, chambre avec salle de bain, maison propre et agréable. Gurinder nous a offert ses services de guide et fait découvrir des endroits magiques. Conversations très enrichissantes.

Assured cent per cent Punjabi hospitality. Homestay located in a beautiful & quiet locality but inaccessible by public transport, even Ola.

i very strongly recommend to stay at Jagdev ji singh's house in amritsar.Absolutely brilliant stay.....................

It was such a wonderful stay and we had literally felt in home and all due to such a wonderful hospitality by host. it was so convenient and very quiet and beautiful surrounding...whenever you are in this holy city don't miss out on this place to stay :)

First things first. Amazing set of people you'll meet. Mr. Jagdev has a lot of patience. Our train got delayed by 3 hours and he was still available at station waiting for us. Good cooked by his wife was great. We loved their company! As far as stay and comfort was considered, it's the best place. However if you are planning to stay in this place, please get details of fares. The quote mentioned here is only of staying. Food and transport charges will be mentioned only if you ask. Don't forget to try the Dhaal which his wife makes. Amazing. PS: someone named Rifle will be there. Meet the person. You'll love!:) Last but not least. Great value for money.

This is the most amazing home stay ever. I didnt feel like I was staying with someone new - it was like staying with my own family. Being a single woman traveller, I was so well taken care and felt very safe. They showered so much care and affection and fed me with delicious food until I could eat no more. Jagdev-ji also took me shopping and showed me what to buy - which was a boon as I didnt know the difference between genuine and fake. More than anything else, I was so touched that they followed up with me on the phone until I reached home safely. My train arrived and left Amritsar at odd hours and Jagdev-ji waited for me at the station for more than an hour patiently and didnt show the slightest irritation. They both welcomed me into their house with so much warmth. Jagdev-ji also helped me plan my day and took me all around Amritsar. I couldnt have done all the sightseeing and shopping without his help. Their house is large, wonderful, aesthetically decorated and so pleasing. The room alloted to me was spacious, clean and comfortable and had everything one could want and even better than a hotel room. I experienced true Punjabi hospitality and warmth. I would highly recommend any visitors to Amritsar to stay with Jagdev-ji. Dont miss their delicious home cooked parathas, lassi and mutton seekh kabab!

Beautiful place with marvellous hosts, very much enjoyed our stay n definitely recommend everyone if you want home atomosphere with all facilities.

Once you are there you dont need to do anything. Its like coming home after long time and forget everything. Just enjoy home made food and do what you feel like.

We stayed at Sukhmani Niwas, Amritsar on April 25th for one night and it was a wonderful experience. Mr. Jagdev Singh and his wife Was very gracious host. It was a pleasure to meet them and it is certainly a pleasure to say how wonderful our stay in their house. House is very nice and the rooms are very clean and spacious, located in very peaceful and calm area. The dinner was enjoyable and food was delicious and the service was great. The host family was so hospitable and warm, I wish I can stay couple more days. We will definitely come back !!! And I will recommend to everyone who will visit Amritsar.

The room is in a hotel located on a bustling side street, near many small businesses, a chai café, and a very nice restaurant. It is also an easy walk to the Golden Temple, via the market-lined avenues and streets of old Amritsar. It is chaotic, lively, and a feast for the senses. It is worth diving right in! Sachin and his family were very welcoming upon my arrival. I was a bit ragged after a delayed flight and taxi ride, but they quickly plied me with some food and refreshments to help me get settled. Very quickly I was able to relax and settle in. Breakfast was very (URL HIDDEN) requests were nicely accommodated. I took my lunches at the Golden Temple langar. For dinner, Sachin recommended the Crystal Restaurant just around the corner, which I visited for three consecutive nights. While a tad fancier and higher priced, it was nonetheless quite good, and takes credit cards. The room was very clean and spacious. There was plenty of space to store belongings and generally seemed secure. The room was maintained by a very kind man, who kept it very clean. My visit came during Demonetization which has caused challenges. Sachin was very helpful with his recommendations about the better banks/ATMs to navigate these difficulties. Overall, this was a very good AirBnB experience. I would definitely recommend it. You will be in good hands with fabulous, committed and helpful hosts.

I read the below negative review before staying here and appreciated Sachin's response.. so booked the room. The room is basic, but equipped with everything you'll need. If you're looking for a 5 star fitout, book somewhere else. BUT, if you're looking for some of the most friendly and supportive hosts one could hope for, and you want an EXCELLENT location, this place is for you. Sachin and Bindiya and their team are always available with advice, support, travel tips, and conversation. They'll check with you all the time that everything is as you need. The guy in the comment below obviously didnt take them up on an offer of support. Everything we asked for was available, including a great breakfast each morning. One last tip, make sure you eat at Bubby's during your stay - amazing food. Thanks again, Sachin & Bindiya!

Arun and his family were very welcoming from Day 1 of my stay there, and helped me to get a good taste of traditional Indian culture. the room allocated was beautiful, and they made every effort to make sure my stay was as comfortable and homely as possible. Arun was very helpful in introducing me to the local sights, and having him bring me around helped to get better prices for foods and gifts, which I am very grateful for. Highly recommended for solo travellers or couples!

Fantastic host ... helped us along the way and made double sure all is well ... beautiful family and large modern room...

Arun and his family, including his precious grandmother, made us part of the family. They are a spiritual family filled with love and caring. Arun arranged several excursions for the two of us, also making sure we got a fair price for everything. In fact, we liked Arun so much we often invited him to join us. The upstairs flat was not yet ready, so we stayed in a room, with a private bath, in the downstairs flat with the family. This was actually a bonus. It is a quite area, far enough away from the main tourist area to make it so. Tuk Tuks can be had at the end of the block for 100 rupee to the Golden temple for example. All in all it was a pleasurable experience.

Arun is one of the most incredible host ever!! He was very kind and thoughtful all the time. He guide me from the airport to his house and provide me with everything I need to find the place. The room is exactly what you need to have an incredible time at Amritsar. The AC works perfectly, the bed is so comfortable and his family is lovely!! His grandmother is such an incredible and sweet person!! And they also share a delicious dinner made by his mother!! This is exactly what I'm expecting when travelling around the world: get in touch with new people, find friends abroad, share traditions and have a wonderful time. One of the most amazing things that Arun made for me was to call for a safe an cheap taxi (Tuk-tuk) to travel around the city. The driver, a very nice guy, took me from Arun's house to the Golden Temple, waited for me 2 hours, then take me to the border between Pakistan and India, waited for me for another 3 hours while I watched the border ceremony, and then took me back at the starting point. Simply amazing, cheap and safe! I've no words for this incredible experience. Nevertheless I just stayed for two days I must say this place is your best bet is you're going to Amritsar. I'll definitively recommend this place! Arun's family has a warm and special place in my memories for all their kindness. Hope to see them once again!! Good luck with all your professional ambitions, Arun!! You are amazing and will achieve whatever you dream! Thank you so much for all!!

It's a home. Stay at Arun's place if you are visiting Amritsar. Super friendly hosts. Arun's mother gives you nice food and drinks, his father and brother helps you to go all tourist places.

Fellow Airbnb Members, I had been yearning to travel to Amritsar for the past four years, and I finally but the bullet and went. Amritsar was in incredible place in India and the world. However, what made it so special was Aruns Brother Anuj, his lovely father and his beautiful and kind mother. The family was so lovely, assisted with travel arrangements, shared family meals (breakfast and dinner) together, experienced Lunger with Anuj and I couldn't be more happier with my stay in Amritsar. The home was beautiful, clean, well organised and truly felt like a family home. Thank you so very much to Anuj, Satya and Madhu (and of course Arun who is currently studying abroad) for your hospitality, love, and for an amazing stay. Peace Out

Mr. Arun and his family made me feel at home. During check-in, i was greeted with ice cold water, coke and bananas. Later when I was going out for dinner, they offered me to eat with them. I enjoyed fresh homemade food with their family. During dinner, they gave me many tips about the city. Morning started with bed tea and biscuits. They have me a nice hand made map of the city. They hired me an auto to take me around the city. In short, they went above and beyond what was the contract. I would definitely recommend them and would love to stay with them whenever I visit Amritsar next.

Fellow Airbnb Travellers, I am currently being hosted my Aruns Family (younger brother, and his parents) in Amritsar. I am checking out tomorrow and it is really sad to be leaving Aruns family. I have been travelling around India for the past five weeks and may I say, my stay here in Amritsar has been one of the main highlights. Reason being is that Aruns family are very caring, kind, considerate, welcoming and his mother showed unconditional love (which I missed as I've been away from home for a decent period of time). His brother Anuj and I went to a temple and shared in my first Lunger experience, and took me around the town one evening. His father organised a private driver for me for a day to take me to the main sights in Amritsar before driving me to the Wagah Boarder Ceremony. The accommodation was beautiful and it was an absolute pleasure calling Aruns family home as my home away from home. If any members of the family come to Australia, my door is always open to them. Once again, thank you Arun, Anuj and his parents for an amazing and humbling stay in Amritsar. You will be missed.

The hosts don't stay at the location but they have a very capable and genial manager. He took care of every little detail for us and did his very best to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. He was our 'go-to' person and guided us with daily plans, activities and even organised our local transport (airport to airport). We have a lot to thank him for a really satisfactory visit. The property is relatively new residence. An independent two level building with a third level rest area for drivers etc., .. pleasing and reasonably well maintained. The (4) bedrooms are large and comfortable - all with individual a/c, cable TV, king sized beds, plush linen, seating and attached modern bathrooms. The decor and ambiance are pleasing. All that we missed was a storage wardrobe in three of the rooms. The property is a two floor building with two bedrooms, a large hall and a kitchen on each floor. The kitchens are provided with all conveniences (microwave, water kettle, toaster, fridge, RO plant, basic cutlery, pots and pans) .. There is a slight decay in the modular kitchen furniture and needs to be spruced up. There is also a de-odorisation need especially when the kitchen has not been in use for some time. The location is a tad out of town but in a very quiet, serene and scenic setting. We had a great early morning walk. There is a convenience store about a km away with all essential foodstuff and toiletry. The house-help smilingly took care of our laundry needs (at a small fee). There is a restaurant about 4 km away that home delivers some great food. It even arrives hot and aromatic :) ... What we sorely missed was a DG power backup that could operate all a/cs and lights. There is a UPS backup that powers some of the lights and ceiling fans. We had frequent power cuts during our four day stay (we had the whole building as we were 8 pax) both during night and day and it became a little difficult to brave the humid weather. What is important is to improve on the facility maintenance over time. We could see the very early and wee signs of wear - not of much worry or significance now - but could devay faster if not checked in time. Bottom line - We simply loved the place and the setting. Enjoyed our stay thoroughly and would love to go back again next year.

My stay at Silver Leaf apartments was fantastic !the place is a huge house ,in a very good neighborhood. We rented both the upstairs and downstairs units ,since we needed 4 bedrooms . For a smaller group ,one apartment would be very comfortable . The bedrooms were huge with big beds ,extremely comfortable !very nice modern bathrooms ,hot showers etc.All the rooms had Air-Conditioning ,which is great in the summers of Punjab The place is about a 20 minute drive from the golden temple ,which to me was not an issue since I had rented a car for three days through the host of this place .THE car and driver was at the gate waiting to take us where we needed to go .To rent an AC innova for our group was quite inexpensive . I feel the place is very well priced for the facilites it offers ,more over the area around the golden temple is too crowded and I preferred staying here . Bir Singh the manager was around for any help we needed and was extremely pleasant and helpful. I will definitely come again and recommend to my family and friends .

The apartment was very spacious and comfortable, and thus we felt at home throughout our stay. Our family consisted of five members and we booked the two bedroom apartment which was more than sufficient for us. The house was clean, well maintained and there were maids that come every afternoon. The manager of the apartment was very friendly and helpful and tried to resolve any problem at the earliest possible. The apartment is located slightly far away from the main city, and moving around with the help of public transport is a little difficult. Though, the manager helped us in renting a car for our stay in Amritsar which made it convenient. There might be slight problem with privacy during the day as the manager's office was in the third room in the same apartment, but it wasn't a problem for us as we left early morning and returned home at night. But overall the stay was great and we enjoyed our trip to Amritsar and our stay at SilverLeaf Apartments!

The bedrooms are very nice. Kanwar was also a very helpful host. The location is decent, and close to town.

We were travelling a family of 4 adults and 4 children(3 infants) and we found the apartment to be a replica of our requirements. Huge and spacious rooms, neat and clean bathrooms and a good kitchen and dining area. Perfect for a family. Need to make arrangements from a local grocery store for the snacks/milk for quick bytes. There are great places to eat in Amritsar and weather being hot in April we got all our food back to the apartment. MR. Bir Singh is a good facilitator and a representative of the Host at the apartment and he is available at any time of the day to resolve any issues. Get your transpiration sorted out before you arrive. Mr Bir can help you on this. Please check the condition of the Car(Read non functioning AC) if you are travelling in the Summer months. Overall a great place to stay who don't like the intrusion at hotels. Great Apartments and Great Host.

Place is good and clean... calm locality and a great Host

Location was perfect for the main spots, golden temple and waga border. Apartment was clean, spacious ans perfect for a family. Bir (property manager) was excellent he made us feel welcome as was always on hand to help with planning our trip. A lovely stay and would recommend to anyone when visiting amritsar.
