Best experience at this homestay.would highly recommend to anybody seeking a relaxing stress free escape amongst the scenic mountains

Best experience spending a friendly get away with friends at Ridhabhi Homestay. Great location.you're exposed to nature's most wonderful creations like scenic skies and the greenest flora. Incredible hospitality.absolutely wonderful and extremely welcoming owners. I would highly recommend for a much needed get away from the bustling city life and hectic everyday schedule to a serene and beautiful place amongst the prettiest mountains. Each and every facility is available, including mouth watering meals, clean and tidy rooms, clean and sanitised washrooms with hot water 24*7 and amazing bonfires. Had a gala time there and would recommend it to everyone looking for accomodation at an affordable price.

Just amazing place to visit
I strongly suggest this resort.
The greenery, the view, nature sounds.
It was all just amazing and fabulous experience

Very nice place to stay close to nature, rooms, food and service was excellent. If you want to enjoy nature then it is best location to stay, also had fun playing pool and table tennis at night.

The place is away from city noises and very peaceful location. Rooms r good and airy. One can enjoy apple orchard and tracking etc. The food is good and very economical. My overall stay was very economical and good.

Very nice place to stay for couple of days in apple farm and also cherries. The only thing is last 4 km is unpaved road and u have to drive slow. Homestay is neat and clean.value for money

Everything including the location, cleanliness, and hospitality were satisfactory. As others mentioned, the road to the property is unpaved and rugged but it wasn't a let down for me. In fact, I was looking for such a place and a bit of off-roading did add some rustic aura to the stay.

Peaceful place to stay and is natural place. Very good stay for two days. This place is just 12 km away from Mall road and only 45 minutes drive. Cheap n best.

I recently stayed at Ridhabhi Homestay for three nights and it was an incredible experience. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed with the excellent service provided by the staff. The rooms were clean and comfortable, providing the perfect atmosphere for relaxation after a long day of trekking.

Our host, Mr. Rajesh Verma, was outstanding. He went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was enjoyable and memorable. He guided us through the Shiba Trek, sharing his knowledge and expertise of the area. He even organised a bonfire one night, which was a fantastic addition to our trip.

The food at the homestay was also very tasty. The staff was super accommodating and helpful, ensuring that all of our needs were met. Overall, I highly recommend Ridhabhi Homestay to anyone looking for an authentic, comfortable, and unforgettable stay in the area. Thank you to Mr. Verma and the entire team for making our trip so special!

Nice place to stay for couple of days. Place is surrounded by apple orchard and green forest. Value for money.
Rooms r spacious, neat and clean. Washrooms r good.

The location is something out of your dreams. The perfect solution for a rustic escape from city life, chopped wood and bonfires all evening and night. My dog was always waiting for the next morning sun so we could walk in the lush forests spread under huge 100 ft tall pine and deodar groves. Wide expanses of greenery for you to play around and get the fresh mountain air. Not a single sound from the city life, huge windows opening to the entire mountain, breathtaking to watch from the comfort of your rooms. A very straightforward and quiet caretaker helping you out with everything while you have 5 star cooking from a well known chef and youtuber, Mrs. Verma (the owner/host). Had I waited for a few more days I could have witnessed fresh snowfalls too. Anyway, solar water heating all day for scalding hot water baths 24/7 that youd love during winters. There are two ways to get to the place - one is a very long 25+ km pakka road route with a 1 km of kachha road at the end. The other is the much much shorter 5 km kacchha road that requires a little patience and a well serviced car. In all everything I had hoped for and more. We witnessed cute loveable mountain dogs chasing monkeys, homemade jam, and crunchy buttery parathas, anda bread, pakodas, kadi, rajma, bengun bharta, delicious delicious tea, feel like going back already!

Homestay is 4km from main road with horrible/broken approach road, Our taxi driver gave up after 2 km and said he cant go any further as it is too dangerous and bumpy for him, I would not recommend anyone to take risk of going on such dangerous road.

This is really a gem of a homestay! Hosted by a loving couple, this home is amidst apple orchids. You can experience the calm and serenity in nature. Organically grown homemade food, a fully equipped playroom with pool table and tennis makes it the perfect getaway for couples or family. Bask in the afternoon sun, or gather around the bonfire for perfect memories! Must visit!

The Location is awesome and adventurous.
Owner is helpful, kind and very humble ️.
Food either dinner lunch breakfast everything is damm good and tasty

This place is now my second home.the hospitality.the atmosphere.the food are all blended in a way to rejuvenate your soul and body. People who like the quiet and off beat places this is paradise for you. The property is surrounded with apple orchids, plum and cherry trees.every meal is prepared with extra love and care.along with good memories we always bring back a lot of love and affection.love the family.love the place.:)

I have stayed here twice with my family. Very friendly staff and has a nice home feeling to it. Located within the forest it is perfect for those who want to get away from the city life. Will 100% recommend it.

Excellent place to stay if u want to spend ur time with real beauty of nature. If u want to skip the hustle bustle of cities then u should come here for peace and happiness. House is surrounded with apple, cherry & plum orchards. Small waterfalls are coming out of mountains are really beautiful with fresh and herby water. Best place for treking because it is situated inside of the forest. Owner is awesome, friendly and caring. Food cooked by her is better than any restaurant. Service is also very good. Me & my friends enjoyed there very well. We would like to go there again and again.

Very beautiful place.rooms are neat and clean.food is delicious.reasonable prices.surrounded with lush green trees. Had a amazing stay would love to visit again

The homestay is situated between lush green pine forest. The road to the homestay is un metalled which makes the destination an adventures trip. The rooms were very spacious and had a great view. The staff is very friendly and its feels like you are in your own home, that is far away from home. The owner's of this homestay are very nice and has great ghost stories of Shimla, which gives the chill while around camp fire.

View, staff, owner, stay everything WS excellent. Beautiful Adventerous place to Visit in d calmness seniority n peace of nature.

Very nice place to stay in touch with nature, surrounded by APPLE ORCHARDS. Experience and nice staff. Awesome food. Owner and his wife are nice.

Loved the place.and got lovely hospitality from people.it takes 25 minutes to reach the homestay through the kulcha road but the stay covers for everything. The weather is a perfect break from the hustle bustle of the city life. Always relaxing!

Very nice place to stay in touch with nature, surrounded by APPLE ORCHARDS. Experience and nice staff. Awesome food. Owner are nice. Best view for photography. Rooms condition is excellent.

The experience of vacationing with family at Ridhabhi Homestay was very sweet and memorable. Between the skyscrapers of cedar trees, passing through the unpaved and narrow road (which they have given full details on the website), it seemed as if you had come to the world of silence. When we reached Ridhabhi Homestay with the chirping of different types of birds, all the tiredness of the journey was removed after seeing the decor and cleanliness of the rooms. Overwhelmed by the hospitality of the Verma couple, the operator of the homestay, we enjoyed a very delicious home-like meal. The joy of staying at Ridhabhi Homestay amidst the fruit trees of apple, palm, nectaryan, peach etc.was something else. I will give five marks out of five and recommend everyone to visit Ridhabhi Homestay Mashobra (Shimla) once.

Perfect location and great services. Saroj mam is very humble proactive and helpful. I really recommend Ridhabhi Homestay.

Peaceful area, no pollution, no voice, no crowd. Total green area with fruit trees and devdar trees.we are very happy to see the peaceful area. We fully enjoyed our second-time off-road driving (5KM) from Mashobra to Ridhabhi Homestay village Rachhol. Food quality is very good.and The owner, ma'am is a very nice soft-spoken person Verma ji is also a nice person. Thank you so much ma'am for the good services and foods.

The best experience ever! Had a trip down from Australia, booked nd finalised over the phn, great place to enjoy the fun of camping whilst staying indoors in the wonderful furnished rooms… delicious food nd the most mesmerising part of this stay are the hosts. What a wonderful people to come nd live with.
Love from Australia

Awesome people, awesome food, awesome stay and great ambience. It was so peaceful staying up here, morning hikes and also had fun playing pool and table tennis at night.

A nice offbeat location far from all the crowd of shimla. Good outdoor activities, nice staff. Overall a must visit place!

Awesome location.surrounded by APPLE ORCHARDS.it was awesome experience to stay in ridhabhi homestay.

I would like to add few points regarding this homestay so that people can know the truth of this particular homestay.
1. This homestay is illegally constructed without the permission of the co-owner of the property and when informed to the authorities, the authorities do not took any step regarding the issue because the husband of so called owner is misusing his power of being a officer in the state.
2. Most of the reviews of 4 and 5 star are not from tourists, they are actually from friends and relatives of the owner family.
3. The condition of the road is not only adventurous but also dangerous for the people coming from plains. The road is a lonely single lane unmettaled long stretch of 5 km wholly offroad.
4. Most the fruits they show to the tourists like strawberry and cherries are also not theirs.
I am writing this review not because I hate these people but there is a system of doing things. If you want to earn money than don't destroy other sources of income. And for tourists its a humble request dont go to this place unless you can drive in worst of conditions. If something happens to your car in that road, even insurance cannot be claimed. So Beware of these kind of people who just for the sake of money can risks other life in danger and destroy others' source of income.

Very beautiful place.stayed with family for two days.road was very adventurous. Amazing and wonderful experience to stay. It's really nice and rooms are neat and clean.it is located in jungle, home stay is surrounded by Apple farms, beautiful views and awesome location. Have fun!

Road was adventurous.best experience ever.service is good.staff was friendly and nice.awesome location

The place is amazing with the best hospitality.:) thankyou for giving the best time of my life?

One of my favourite place to stay near Shimla, it is located in jungle, home stay is surrounded by apple farms, beautiful views and nice hospitality by care taker but the route of hotel is very narrow and rough, i can say way of hotel is dangerous or adventurous, depands on you.

*Everything is good about this place. One thing to keep in mind is the access road to the property. It is 5kms of off road"

Loved this place. The location is right in middle of forest with full greenery around. The host are good and very helpful. The rooms are spacious, bed cots are comfortable with warm blankets. Huge sitting area just outside with building with apple trees around. Also, an additional sitting area around 20 steps away from group gathering and hangout.

I was pleasantly surprised when the owners came up with a complementary bowl of hand picked cherries from their organic farm.

Good dining area as well.

Had the most beautiful experience. Beautiful lush green mountains, peaceful and solitude with rooms with a view to kill. Not recommended for families and children. Go with friends and couple friendly.

Very beautiful place.stayed with family.road was very adventurous. This is only for nature lover and adventurous people.staff was cooprative.awsome tripwith family.

If you stay there then you are going to get some best memories of your life. The only issue is the road but hard road leads to beautiful stay. ️

The only disadvantage is the access to this hotel. Only book when you can reach hotel before sunset. Also there will be places on the road to hotel where only single car can pass by. Traveller will have much difficulty to reach. It is in a remote area so peaceful and calm place for rest. The service was awesome.

Beautiful homestay in sky touching pine trees.the road leading to home stay is very adventurous and u can enjoy jungle safari while driving to this homestay. Rooms are good and washrooms r neat, clean fitted with all kinds of bath fittings. It is worth the price and value for money.

No access to hotel without car.
It is amid hills.
Lonely location.
No inverter facility when light goes.
Water guiser is only for morning time.
5 kms far from mashobra bus stand.

Reaching the hotel is like going to death You won't feel good there it feels suffocated. If the car is not in best condition, death is for sure. I would like to say that it is gud if u are tracking but worst if you are travelling on vehicle. Hence, it is a sure Death Route

Not a place worth visiting, food preparation is very poor, track to reach is bad, if even then anyone wants to come, drive in day light only. Rooms are new and good.

Great Experience with Ridhabhi homes management, best affordable place to stay and relax. Have visited twice with family. They make u feel like u are at ur home. Recommended to everyone who are looking to stay away from those over crowded and noisy shimla hotels.

वाहःक्या खूबसूरत जगह है ये । हरी भरी वादियो के बीच बसा ये होटल मन को मोह लेता है । अगल बगल चीड़ के वृक्ष झूमते हुए लोगो का स्वागत करते हैं । यहाँ आने पर सांसारिक चिंताओं से मनुष्य मुक्त हो जाता है । मन में एक उत्साह सा उठने लगता है ।शरीर मे स्फूर्ति सी आ जाती है। होटल का स्टाफ आप को अपना मेहमान समझ कर सेवा भाव करता है । खाना उत्तम होता है । कमरे सुंदर और सलीके हैं ।

Stayed in Jan 2019. Beautiful location and rooms. Rooms r spacious and clean. Washrooms with modern bath fittings. Perfect for nature lovers.

Nice palace but it is 10 km away from Shimla and kufri so u have to in morning it is in like jungle so DNT go at night stay there is so adventures and road is damaged on that way so be careful

Awful experience and worst customer service. The place deeply routed 4 kms into the jungle with no guideline on the way and road is so pathetic.

I would recommend all travel agents and other travel sites to do a reality check before listing this kind of properties.

Worst and aweful, poor service, owner was disrespectful. Pathetic rooms, washrooms almost broken. I recommend not to visit this place.beware customers not our kind of property.need negative rating to rate this property.

HP Tourism Board need to take such hotelier into check and take some action
