"I’m pretty sure when Alice fell down the rabbit hole (Alice in Wonderland), she arrived here. This is a magical place with wonderful caring owners, the most amazing garden and fantastically located to explore everything in Yuksom and beyond. The food is prepared with great care and I found it hard to leave. Just book!"
"Placed closed to the Coronation Throne of the first Chogyal amid high mountains, this place is a rest for the soul feeling part of the family. This is not a typical hotel atmosphere as the socialising with other guests made it also very cosy and interesting."
"With Karoke nights, allowing me to try my hands in making momos, harvesting potatoes in their pretty garden, and taking part in their rituals and ceremonies, I had a memorable time. With morning walks to Dubdi monastery, the market, and the coronation throne, I made long term companions here and found a place to cherish. The lovely maintained lawns in the front and the sweet, prompt staff made it feel like a home more than anything else."
"Great ambience with mountains surrounding you on all sides accompanied by a very well kept lawn and greenery all around. Rooms are big and tastefully done with great views.
