I have been staying here a week every year and find it one of the best places to stay to relax, ideate, think and write. The home food is wonderful and serenity breathtaking. Good place for "Blackberry or Smartphone Detox" where one can continue to explore the inner self. Highly recommended for writers who want to look for the elusive... More

The hotel has excellent location. Right off the main oad but yet aboslutely away from the rush traffic and noise. Totally gaden and landscaped cottages... all the amenities present except TV... that is desirable!! Step down the steps or climg up, get the magnificient view of Kanchenzonga peak in the early morning. Wodden cottages are a nice place to stay.... More

Their Service , value , hospitality was remarkable and... More

Tranquil...just relax in the surroundings...take time to browse through their library and enjoy stupendous home made food. One won't feel the need to visit out. The owners will do everything to make you comfortable.

This place is amazing: the flowered terraces hosting old fashioned bungalows, the profusion of flowers and perfumes, the beautifully decorated rooms, dining hall and reading hall, the serenity of the place and the warm welcome of the hosts! Everything is outstanding. It is a haven. We loved the town too, due to its people and the nice temple on top... More

Although hotel is located some 10 minutes from the city centre, it feels like paradise garden in the heart of pristine mountain jungle. The bugalows has quirky names which makes initially difficult to navigate to your rooms. You'll no be dissappointed if you walk around, though. Bungalows are surrunded with beautifully maintained garden. Owner is Tibetan, who apparently gives care... More

Holumba Haven is certainly unique in our experience with accomodations in India. Kalimpong itself is not particularly attractive and suffers from the usual Indian experience (polluted and chaotic; aggressive traffic; noise that is hard on the head). But nestled just outside the town is a true haven: Holumba. It's situated in what was a farming area when the family patriarch... More
