Avoid This Homestay – Poor Hospitality, Unprofessional Owner, and Disrespectful Customer Service
Extremely Disappointing Experience – Poor Hospitality and Unprofessional Behaviour
My experience at Sangita Backpacker Homestay was extremely disappointing. As a solo traveller, I expected basic hospitality, a comfortable room, and responsible communication. Unfortunately, none of these expectations were met.
The room was extremely small and cramped, barely leaving enough space to move around comfortably. The overall experience was nowhere near what I expected from an online booking.
I had informed the owner in advance that I would arrive in the morning. However, when I reached, her phone was switched off. I tried calling and messaging her for almost an hour without receiving any response. Eventually, I had to find another contact number on Google just to get assistance. This is unacceptable, especially when a guest has already booked and informed the host about their arrival.
To make matters worse, they were apparently unaware that I had booked a single room. The owner's mother took me towards the dormitory and asked for my ID before properly showing me the room. When I asked to see the room first, she told me it would only be available after 12 PM. The entire situation was disorganised and unprofessional.
What made everything worse was the owner's attitude. Instead of addressing my concerns, she blamed me for not checking the photos and criticised my English, suggesting I should have asked questions in my mother tongue. The irony is that when I called her, her own communication was difficult to understand. 😂 Funny how quickly someone judges a guest's English while failing to communicate clearly themselves! Basic respect matters far more than perfect English.
Her message was condescending rather than helpful. I have attached a screenshot so others can judge her response themselves.
I understand that rooms may not suit everyone's preferences, but that does not excuse poor communication, an unprepared host, or disrespectful treatment.

Best-in-class stay in Siliguri! Excellent value for money and located in a prime location. The room was spotlessly clean, peaceful, and completely free from outside noise, making for a very comfortable stay. The aunty who manages the property is incredibly humble, kind, and welcoming. Her warm hospitality made Me feel right at home. Highly recommended, and I'd definitely love to stay here again...

From SNT bus station head south (right) 1.8 km along Hill Cart Road just out front, to Hasmi Chowk, 20 rp shared taxi, or walk. This homestay not on google, but right next to Joi Store Venus More, search. No sign out front.
Three bed dorm is dark, quiet, even though main noisy chowk outside. Ceiling fan good. Good geyzer/shower water pressure. Standard toilets clean, with sprayer, no paper. Handsoap, sink.They dont always change sheets after guests, they changed mine. Good location at main intersection of Hill Cart Rd and Bidhan.
