Guloncho Homestay Santiniketan

Warm greetings from Mr. Nandi and the staff, excellent and very comfortable stay, awesome food, the rooms are well decorated and very neat and clean. The location is great, free from hustle and bustle from City life to enjoy the nature peacefully. We have enjoyed the great hospitality of Mr. Nandi which made our stay memorable. This place is really worth for relaxation and to enjoy nature. Would love to visit again.

The location is perfect for staying beside Biswabharati, Shantiniketan; absolutely serene and calm. Mr. Nandi, the host is more than perfect. Its excellent to have a gossip with him, its not only exciting but also it would enrich your perspective since he is a nice and veteran scholar and individual. Moreover, Mr Nandi took care of every detail and went beyond normal for making our stay more enjoyable. He arranged food and local staffs for us as if he knew us for decades. The cook Madhumita is a gem, she cooks so tasty and light that would remind you of your mother. Naru, the caretaker did not say no to any of our requests. Above all I would suggest you to ask Mr Nandi to invite Sanghamitra Di, a veteran scholar and master of folk and ‘baoul’ songs who would give you a lifetime experience by her graceful presence and heart touching voice and performance in the evening at the property. Don’t hesitate to visit here at any time of the year. Will visit again pretty soon.

The homestay is simply amazing. More than the place, what a great conversation with the owner of the house Mr Dhrubo Nandi. The caretakers were so attentive. They literally ran to open the gates each time we got in. There is ample space for car parking. There is hot water. The food is so authentic and Bengali. Plus, the vegetables are organic home grown which adds to the flavour of the cuisine. I wish we had stayed for a few more days. Definitely coming back to this place again.

Loved the hospitality and the home-like feeling that we got there. It is a gem of a place with mouth-watering organic food. One must stay there to experience some of the best moments that we cannot express in words. Everything about this property needs a special mention starting from the beautiful rooms, the hospitality, the garden, the food, etc etc.. Loved the time we have spent there and we would visit again. Loved everything.

In our opinion, this property ranks high on its service, cleanliness and the amazing hospitality of the host Mr. Nandi and his entire team. If you are looking for a very good quality home stay amidst a lot of greenery instead of a usual resort/hotel with all the fancy things, this place is highly recommended. Quality of the food was also very good and home like.

Location was ideal, ambience calm and homely with ample opportunities for cycling and walking around. Mr Nandi was very welcoming, extremely helpful and an ideal host with his personalised care. It was a pleasure to have an ‘adda ‘over coffee. We are grateful for his caring hospitality and the way he ensured my daughter could attend on-line classes during stay with Internet facilities. The food is authentic tasty Bengali cuisine, very recommended. Staff is friendly and always a call away. The stay was certainly value for money. An overall very good experience and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to relax and enjoy genuine Bengali hospitality.

Lovely garden, great food, wonderful host. Overall a true Santiniketan experience.
Great Breakfast.

It was a nice weekend. Lovely ambience with flora and fauna. Cuckoo song and chatters beautifully represent the “Basonto”. Food was homely and less spicy but tasty. And lastly Mr. and Mrs Nandi, the hosts, the beautiful couple. Nice memories to cheer.

The location, perfect for a peaceful weekend, was amidst a beautiful garden. The room was huge, airy, illuminated by sunlight throughout the day, neat and clean with all the elementary amenities. The dining place was spic-and-span, with additional accessories like micro-oven, toaster, etc. The breakfast was pretty decent. In fact the food was excellent throughout. The hosts were a magnificent couple, always welcoming, extending their hands to help. The support staffs were also nice, decent people. It can’t be better than this.

We stayed at Guloncho for 2 days. We got a mind-blowing experience. The ambience of the entire bungalow is superb. Rooms are well maintained and cleaned. Foods are very hygienic, less spicy and tasty too. Mr and Mrs Nandy are very helpful. I like to thank for amazing hospitality of host Mr Nandy and his entire team. Expecting to visit Guloncho again.

The house was great, the host was really nice and welcoming, the facilities were good as well. The overall experience of the stay was positive. We had a very short stay but was worth it.
