Great hosts. Nice and peaceful location

תאריך שהייה: יולי 2025

We especially enjoyed our conversations with the owners, Mr. Shankar and Ms. Kavitha. They supported us with our requests and answered our questions tirelessly. Our room was big, clean and comfortable. The location, tugged a little away between the rice paddies, is very peaceful and ideal to explore Hampi using a mode of transportation such as a local auto rickshaw. We would certainly love to come back.

The room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. Kavita and Ramu were extremely welcoming and helpful in organising a driver to aid us in seeing all the sights during our stay. Kavita also recommended restaurants for us to visit whilst in the area. Breakfast was tasty.

Ramu and Kavita were wonderful hosts! We felt welcomed from the start as they showed us our lovely room! They helped us organise a driver for the two days to see the sites in Hampi and sorted out food orders with the local restaurants for dinner. Breakfast was a delicious masala omelette and toast which was cooked in house. The home stay is set in beautiful greenery. Thanks for a wonderful time!

Our original room was not available but the substitute was fine.

Hosts gave us a warm welcome and made us feel at home. They were flexible and very understanding when we found all the ATMs were closed due to the festival. They arranged a guide who showed us around the area. They proved a good breakfast and cooked us dinner one night - delicious! .

Nothing I can think of

Great homestay Ramu and his wife couldn't have been more helpful. Food was outstanding. Ramu is a great chef. Just be aware you need a car, or hire a motorbike or use the excellent Krishna, the house tuk tuk driver. Lovely guy. He took me to the motorway junction at midnight to try to find my overnight but which never came. He waited with me and took me home when we realised it wasn't coming.

Leaving

The food, the room, the staff, everything. Kavitha and Ramu treated us like we were old friends, rather than simply guests.

We had a great time here at Shankar’s homestay. The hosts reached out in advance to ask if we would like help organising a rickshaw which they happily provided! We arrived very early and they were very accommodating and helpful. We were short for time and they helped lll us decide the best options for our limited time in hampi. The location of this homestay is perfect as it’s at the centre of all the core sites to see and very close to a lovely village called Anegundi which we explored renting bikes from a local shop near the homestay. Rooms were very spacious and clean. I would recommend this as your go to accommodation for your stay in Hampi! We can’t wait to visit again, thank you!

Really nice little pace

תאריך שהייה: מרץ 2025

Charming home stay set in lovely gardens, less than 10 minute walk to the village and around 2km from Hampi which is an easy cycle ride. Your hosts are generous and warm, helping to organise activities and providing meals as well. The room I stayed in was cool with ceiling fan working, it was sufficiently cool that AC wasn’t required by me but is available in the rooms if needed. Overall excellent location, lovely surrounds and fantastic hosts. I would gladly stay again and extended my stay for a further three days after my initial three day booking was complete.

Fabulous location, beautiful garden, really comfortable room, lovely host family, and good to meet other guests too. The terrace outside our room was wonderful and we loved the birdsong snd watching the monkeys playing. Kavita and team were so kind and made us feel completely at home. Her cooking is superb. Also big thanks to Krishna the tuk tuk driver - excellent driver and helped us when we mislaid something. Kavita and Krishna also arranged tours for us which were really good. Highly recommended.

Nothing

Where to start, from the wonderful warm welcome to the moment we left Shankar was like a home from home. Kavitha and Rama are the perfect hosts and we will never forget the evenings we spent chatting to them in the garden. We were here 4 nights had breakfast everyday and 3 evening meals, the food is fantastic. Also need a special mention to Anji our guide to Hampi in his tuk tuk and a part of the family. Don’t hesitate this place is something special

Nothing…

A real little gem! Ramu and Kavitha couldn’t be more welcoming… the location is rural, peaceful, set in a beautiful garden… the rooms are big and airy, and clean. We had a room with a balcony which faced the garden and some massive boulders. Ramu cooked an amazing curry for us on one night and Kavithas Dosas for breakfast were a real treat.. we were lucky to be there on a festival day which tied in with their son’s birthday. All the guests were invited to the party! The house is a minute walk from Happy Hampi Restaurant which I’d also highly recommend. Friend of the family Anji, took us around to see all of the sights in his Tuk Tuk.. he was such a lovely guide/person/driver.. would highly recommend.

Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. It is a true experience and everyone went out their way to make our stay special and to help us with all our questions. Thank you for the wonderful food and the Tuk Tuk tours around Hampi.

Nothing is better in travel like the warm welcome we received from Kavita. She is a gem and hard to find in this world. We loved the vegetarian thali she made for dinner and couldn’t believe she did our laundry without charge. She created such a great atmosphere that it helped us connect with other travelers—A+

The solar hot water didn't work well. We wish there was a bathing soap.

The owner was friendly and willing to accommodate our needs. The breakfast was excellent. The ambience of the place was nice with a lot of trees. The location was ideal. The rooms were nice and large.

Literally nothing that we didn't like!

We had an amazing experience staying at Shankar Homestay during our trip to Hampi. It’s one of the best homestays we’ve come across in terms of cleanliness, comfort, and the overall vibe. The rooms were spotless, with beautiful interiors, soft and cozy bedsheets, comfortable blankets, and warm lighting. They even provided toiletries, which was a thoughtful touch. Everything felt well-maintained and worth every penny. The outdoor area felt like a mini farmhouse—clean, peaceful, and with a charming village-like vibe. It was the perfect place to relax after exploring Hampi. The hosts, Ramu and his wife Kavitha, were amazing. They were friendly, warm, and always ready to help, which made us feel right at home. The location is great—away from the noisy tourist areas but just a 4-minute drive to all the main attractions in Hampi. A special mention goes to Mr. Anjaneya, or Anji, a family friend of the hosts. He drove us around in his auto-rickshaw and was more than just a driver—he was like a guide. He took us on a tour of Hampi, suggested the best places to eat non-veg food, and even helped us rent a bike. His tips and guidance made our trip so much easier and more enjoyable. Shankar Homestay is a perfect blend of comfort, great hospitality, and a peaceful vibe. We highly recommend it to anyone visiting Hampi!
