Hi Anju, Homestays are great when you are travelling in a large group but if you are travelling only as a couple(i mean only 22 ppl) then staying in a hotel is better. Homestays give you more space to chill out and relax. Sometimes, a homestay will have private swimming pool also.

Homestay will be good if you are travelling in a large group. If you are squad then there is no point of homestay go for good and safe hotel

Hi, There are no pros or cons as such. I believe Homestays offer different experience than a hotel. For example, I prefer homestays when I want to spend time with my family or may be when chilling out with friends is a priority. Homestays will definitely provide you with more privacy, but might offer very less assistance compared to a hotel. However, if your are looking to explore a place in & out or have a packed schedule, then it's better to opt for a hotel, as in some homestays you might actually have to do a lot of stuff by yourself, such as cooking your own food, doing your laundry, etc. However, having said that, there are also many Homestays which offer hotel like services. In terms of security, you can always book through reliable services like Airbnb and find out more about the credibility of the host.

Hi Anju, If you prefer only stay and sightseeing is not your priority , then homestay can be preferred, because mostly they are located at remote locations and far from sightseeing locations. We went to Wayanad in the month of may , its a ramzan season that time , all the hotels were closed in the morning and opened after 6PM. So to escape from these seasonal issues, Homestay can be a good choice if you are travelling with your family especially with kids.

Hi,
In my point of view homestays are good if you are traveling in a large group as this will become pocket friendly for each individual on the other side if you are traveling as a couple then better stay at some descent hotel it will be better and have more privacy. thanks.
