Its a home away from home! Absolutely fantastic and memorable. The staff were absolutely amazing!

If you're looking for a wonderful stay in Shimla, look no further than this place! The staff took such good care of us that we felt like we were staying in our own private resort. It was truly a haven, a place where we could relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of Shimla. Overall, our experience was fantastic. If you're looking for a wonderful getaway, this place is definitely worth considering. The people, the place, the atmosphere - everything was perfect. The food was freshly prepared and served like home. We couldn't have asked for a better stay, and we can't wait to come back again. Highly recommended!

No inter-connected rooms however, we got next to next rooms but they were not connected that's all. Probably a little more powerful room heating system would be a nice thing to have especially in a place like Shimla.

A very good stay.

The room, the staff, the location and the view from the balcony for the suite room is top notch. The food we tried was below average (Mutton curry) as the meat was tough and fatty (Maybe it's made this way in the region. Not sure). The breakfast was okay and nothing to write home about.

My only issue was that I requested for a half board option which i was ready to pay to extend my stay a little longer maybe till 4 or 5 PM as my bus back to Delhi was at 9 PM however i was told to pay the full day charge if I were to avail this option. I maybe wrong but I believe the homestay was empty and I think we were the only occupants and hence I don't know why I was told to pay for one full day when a half day payment could have easily been arranged and hence they could have been more accommodating. Apart from this my stay was comfortable and the place is great.

Nice place for few days

The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with a nice view. The home made cooking is really tasty with enough variety for few days

The hotel is far from Shimla and with no car service hence better to come with your own car. For site visit, trekking, etc. Plan before coming, there is no information available at the hotel.

Spacious and comfortable modern suites

Very spacious clean modern room. Large comfortable bed. Balcony with fantastic views. Very generous meals and accommodating hosts. Overall we really enjoyed our stay.

Depending on your reason for travel, slight downside might be distance from central Shimla, about 25 minutes by car. Accommodation requested Indian bank money transfer to confirm booking, which we could not do as visiting from overseas but they kindly made an exception for us to pay on arrival.

Clean, well maintained, good food. home away from home.

Its an amazing property, located away from the hustle bustle of city facing greenery and snow clad mountains. We could see Hassan Valley (one of the densest forest of Asia and Anglo-British age water reserve). We are thankful that we opted for the property and reclaimed serenity.

They cater for families and they are bit strict when it comes to hooliganism and late-night parties.

Best Homestay in Shimla!

Everything! The Staff, especially Tarun, could not do enough for us. Really made us feel like we were at home. The location is amazing with a stunning view from the balcony. First time i stayed in a Homestay and it was fabulous! I will 100% be back and I loved every minute of it. Would absolutely recommend The White Haven a must stay if visiting Shimla. Really is out of this world. Thank you again to everyone who made our stay so memorable 💖 Sinéad, Margaret & Catherine. Visited from Ireland 🇮🇪

One of the most welcoming and wonderful place to stay.

The location and setting around the property is perfect. The staff and food quality is outstanding. Above all one of the best hosts who pay particularly attention to details. From the selection of decorations to the quality of bed/pillow to choice on menus, all meticulously executed. And the flexibility to tailor small things to your liking. And if you are cricket fan, this is place to be. Owners listen to customers and look after them, so please have a conversation about anything you’d like to know about.

There’s nothing I would like to change.

Lovely Place to chill.

Property is way above the rest of the homestays in the region. I will compare it to the 5 star hotels there in shimla. Staff was from Himachal itself and were very hospitable. There is a small garden where I did Yoga in the morning, Property is value for money. I just had breakfast and it was very delicious. Also, got to know that the property had hosted many celebs including Cricket star MS DHONI. It was a cherry over the cake getting to know this. I will surely visit here again and will recommend it to all.

Suite Rooms are bigger and have a balcony. Standard rooms don't have a balcony. Next time, I will book the Suite for sure.

Very good

Our stay was for 2 nights in March end. Location - This is located 20 mins away from the main market and tourist attractions. Not a difficult way to reach till you reach almost outside the property. Knowing how the roads of mountainous region, there is a narrow lane which you have to enter in order to park and locate the property. It would have been good if there was a board on the main road. That was the only glitch in finding the property. Food - They provide the home cooked food and menu is pretty much fixed. The food is undoubtedly well prepared and tasty. No complaints on the dinner. They also served warm breakfast in the morning. The quantity of poha and the sabji was more than sufficient for 2 people. The second evening we ordered food from a newly opened restaurant (Taste buds) and it was very good too. Rooms - The best part of this stay was the size and beauty of the rooms. Very spacious and luxurious looking room with hot water kettle, TV, AC, heater etc. The view from the room's balcony was serene and absolutely perfect for morning breakfast or evening tea. The abundance of sunlight from the glass windows made it even more bright. The furniture was all wooden and gave a luxurious feel. Cleanliness - On point for cleanliness, nicely kept room, bathroom and balcony. Amenities - The reason for 1 less star is the low wi-fi connectivity. Toiletries were provided with clean towels too. Due to the cold weather, the water heaters were not very effective even if you kept the heaters on for 45 minutes. Staff - Polite and supportive staff. Very cooperative and accommodative with our requests and questions. Quite informative as well on our queries. Parking - Once you enter the narrow lane and find their property, you can see a parking lot with sufficient parking space.
