The room and food are excellent and safe but what really made Indian home stay the best place we stayed in our whole trip to India was our host and his family. Sandeep is a truly incredible person who will get you to the best sites, safaris, and foods at the best price and at the best time to enjoy them. He is so knowledgeable of all the secret spots and things to do, not just in Agra but all of India. When we left he helped us plan and book the rest of our trip in India and never asked for anything in return. He genuinely just wants people to be happy and have a good time and will not nickel and dime you like so many other places will. Him and his family were so warm, thoughtful and generous with us it was really hard to leave as we felt so close to them. You will not find a better experience in India than coming here!
Booked two adjacent double-bed rooms via booking.com a fortnight in advance. Owner/manager very obligingly answered phone or called back whenever we contacted from on the way. Large, clean, quiet rooms with all essential facilities and huge beds: can easily accommodate three. Top-floor windows look out on a little park. Room-facing terrace with cooking and washing facilities if needed. Owner Sandip (along with wife Asha - thank you, ma'am) was most welcoming and helpful. Sandip is friendly and gregarious, an avid biker who will be glad to chat whenever he has time on his hands. Even the staff is most obliging. Gave us free breakfast, though that was not promised on the website. Would love to stay here for several days at a stretch next time.

(Looking forward to visit again. Thanks Sandeep & Shubham)
Asha and Sandeep, the owners of Indian Homestay went above and beyond! We originally planned to stay for one night and see the Taj Mahal at sunrise but due to losing a passport we stayed a little longer. They were both amazing and so so helpful! They calmed us down and offered us food. It was incredible what they did for us and the support they offered. Their home was very comfortable, I cannot fault anything. We had a spacious room, comfortable bed and blankets in case it got cold. They were very personable and always made sure we were happy. Thank you for everything Asha, Sandeep and your beautiful children. Enjoy the wedding celebrations, sorry we cannot be with you at this special time. We will never forget Indian Homestay - make sure you stay there of you can!
We enjoyed our stay here very much. The dinner was made with love and it was delicious. Our room felt clean and spacious and Asha and her family were so helpful.
We enjoyed having dinner with fellow travelers. As well as the privacy of the rooftop decks, which were adorned with plants and a fountain.
There was always someone there to offer assistance if we needed anything at all. Asha and her husband truly go the extra mile to make you feel taken care of and welcome.
