Reviews of Jwala Niketan Eco Homestay

Clean and quite place. Great WiFi connection.

This Hostel is located in a quite street. People here are friendly and helpful. I as a solo female traveller felt very safe :) I know where to come when in Jaipur.

Location is best and suitable to bus stand, still you won’t hear traffic noise as it is little far from stand too.

There was no window in room i stayed, felt a bit suffocated. Rest was good.

Everybody who works there was lovely throughout, very happy to help with anything you need.

It was complete value for money I can't complain

Very loud. Located near a main road so honking all night long and terrible noise issues with their “cooling systems”. I was next to a room with a cooling system and it was like a leaf blower was turned on all night. Barely slept

Great local Homestay with amazing owners! Highly recommend

The manager was helpful from the moment we booked. He gave us tips for India, and how to avoid scams. He also arranged us a chauffer with car at very good prices. Check-in was quick. Our room was nice and clean with fresh linen. We got toilet paper (which is rare in India) Try Muesli with curd for breakfast, its super delicious and healthy. Banana smoothie is also very good. Thank you for having us.

Rooms were nice and airy. Bathroom was clean. Staff was super kind and helpful. Location is close to most of the places. WAlking around feels safe as a female solo traveller. Bus and metro station is like a 5-10 min walk. I choose to do some tours with the hostel which was very good I can definetly recommend. Safe place with homely feeling :))

Very frieny, helpfull and honest staff. Nice atmosphere and decent maintained facilities.

Staff wanted to increase pricing due to changing the length of my stay, and entered my room between the hours of 1-2 am. I listened to him walk past my door and slowly turn the door handle. When we made eye contact I asked his intentions and he repeatedly apologized.

People were very friendly and helpful. We slept great. Bathroom could use a little remodeling.

Everything, the rooms were really cleaned, all the staff was exceptional really nice chatty and helpful. Best shower I had so far in India, it has hot water. Will come back

Hosts are really welcoming and are here if you need help. Room and bathroom were clean. It's a good place to stay.

Nothing to say.

Located on a quiet street, this charming hotel offers the perfect blend of peace and convenience. Just a 20-minute stroll from the iconic Hawa Mahal and City Palace, Plus, with the bus stand only 5 minutes away, getting around the city is a breeze.

Comfortable room, good breakfast, friendly and attentive host family who gave good recommendations of the area.

Difficult to get hot water in the shower (needed to ask host in advance)

Absolutely nothing!

If I could give Jwala Niketan Eco Homestay zero stars, I would. This was by far the worst stay I’ve ever had, and I absolutely do not recommend this place to anyone. I’m actually shocked at the high ratings this place has received and suspect they may be artificially inflated. When I arrived, exhausted from my flight, I had to wait around 20-30 minutes just to be shown to a different room. The room I finally got had a tiny, barely functional window with no fresh air circulation. The fan was practically useless, the toilet didn’t flush, and there were constant issues with getting hot water. To top it off, the reception area was dusty and unkempt. Not exactly a warm welcome. After enduring two miserable nights, I decided I’d had enough and wanted to leave. However, the owner was incredibly rude and dismissive when I brought this up. He brushed off my concerns, saying he was "busy with Diwali preparations" and couldn’t process a refund. He claimed he didn’t have access to the booking system on his phone, which felt like a blatant excuse to keep my money. His assistant tried to help, but it was clear the owner, Bana, had no intention of providing any customer support or refund. I later moved to another accommodation where the staff was attentive and respectful despite the Diwali celebrations. It’s clear that other places can manage their business without using holidays as an excuse for poor service, unlike Jwala Niketan. After reading other reviews, it’s clear I’m not the first person to have this issue. If you’re considering staying here, I urge you to look elsewhere. This place is simply not worth the hassle or frustration. If the owner can’t manage the basics of hospitality, he really shouldn’t be running a guest house. Save yourself the trouble and book somewhere else. The worst part was when the owner to avoid a bad feedback cheated on my stay dates and moved then to 2025! I contacted booking.

Location is great. Lovely and helpful volunteer

Sorry but the reviews are inflated. The owner charms foreigners to give good reviews but it’s not an exceptional place. It is not worth the price. I have stayed in budget places for a month now (and it’s my 6th time in India) and this was by far the worst one. The place needs serious updating. The room was ok with a comfortable bed but had a flaking ceiling. The bathroom was literally falling apart and the shower had almost no pressure. Had to use the bucket instead. Saw another room and they had fixed a window with cardboard. Do NOT use their taxi servers. First time had to wait half an hour the busy train station, second time the owner didn’t even bother to book one.

Was a beautiful time at Jiwala Nikitan the pink house with cozy welcoming for all kinds of travellers!

Bana was the best host I have every had. He was knowledgeable, kind and helpful.

The property had all the facilities we needed like laundry a/c and a big comfy bed.

Book this place! A huge thank you Bana for being our host and friend all in one. Bana takes good care of his guests and is an excellent source for all things Jaipur. He is sure to make you feel right at home in his guest house. We ended up coming back a second time and booking a room with A/C and it was a great choice.
