Testimonials

The location is in North Kolkata with beautiful surroundings and easy walkable to different hot spots. (Vivekananda’s birthplace, Scotish College – one of the oldest, College Street, Old Theatre). The place is real heritage with a beautiful architecture and vibe. The terrace is very nice and you can enjoy the night – before ending the day – or for having a beautiful sunrise or sunset.

Nandini and Gaurav are great people, friendly,

responsive, right there for you.

If i’ll came again to Kolkata, definetely i will stay here! Totally recommend!

A true haven of peace in the middle of the tumult of Calcutta. As soon as you walk through the door, you completely leave the hustle and bustle of the city to enter a calm, harmonious and soothing space.

The accommodation is spotless, comfortable and decorated with taste. We immediately feel good there. The host is attentive, professional and available, while remaining discreet.

A precious address that we recommend without hesitation, and where we will be happy to go back.

Thank you so much for offering a place like this:)). I had a great stay, particularly quiet in the terrace apartment with the birds, the sunset, the light, the trees. It’s a great opportunity to have this opportunity, and also to be able to meet other people in the house with whom to exchange or share a meal. Mana and Saikat are always there to help us if needed, and Gaurav holds a central place in this beautiful house, he is very kind 🙂 The house is located in a very beautiful and authentic area, not far from one of the branches of the Ganges where you can drink an exceptional saffron chai.

I highly recommend this place, which is a lively place, in the colors of India, where you can feel deeply safe. Thank you very much Gaurab, to you, Mana and

Saikat 🙂 I hope to see you very soon, I will come back to stay with you, that’s for sure!!

Merci infiniment de proposer un logement comme celui-ci:)). J’ai passé un séjour formidable,

particulièrement tranquille dans l’appartement terrasse avec les oiseaux, le coucher de soleil, la lumière, les arbres. C’est une grande chance d’avoir cette possibilité, et aussi de pouvoir rencontrer d’autre personnes dans la maison avec qui échanger ou

partager un repas. Mana et Saikat son toujours là pour nous aider si besoin, et Gaurav tiens une place centrale dans cette si belle maison, il est d’une grande

bienveillance 🙂 La maison est siituée dans un quartier très beau et authentique, pas loin d’un des bras de Gange où l’on peut boire un chai au safran, exceptionnel.

Je recommande vraiment ce lieu qui est un lieu vivant, aux couleurs de l’Inde, où l’on se sent profondément en sécurité. Mille Mercis Gaurab, à toi, Mana et Saikat:) au plaisir très bientôt, je reviendrai loger chez vous, c’est sur!!

We didn’t expect to feel so good in this place. The house is amazing, quiet and with a special energy, like that of its owner, after all. We felt welcomed, the services are perfect and there is also the possibility of receiving lunch and dinner on request. The owner, available for everything we needed, is like a brother and is truly an interesting and nice person to meet. This house has enriched our stay in this wonderful city and made it even more special. The wifi works perfectly and this makes it an ideal place even for long periods or for those who have to work online. We will definitely come back and recommend it to everyone!

Had booked this place for my boyfriend’s birthday, and it was absolutely magical, just like Gaurav had assured me.

The house is so well planned and is filled with repurposed items, like I have never seen before. Kitchen shelves and tables made out of window grills, brass plates made into lampholders, wooden planks as a headrest, we were imply in awe! The attached terrace is filled with plants, most of which I was seeing for the first time, and there was not even one mosquito in the terrace or in the house despite of it being rooftop! The house is filled with secrets and wonders, which you need to visit to find out. It was beautiful to witness the sunrise from the terrace right at our doorstep. The staff was also very cooperative and fed us very tasty food. Saikat the little child of the primary caretaker of the house, won our hearts with all his stories!

It didn’t even feel like we were in kolkata, it felt like a faraway magic mystic land. “best birthday ever” my boyfriend says 🙂

Bhubanbari is an experience 🙂 It is the quintessential Kolkata experience. Time moves slower and calmer here, and you can do nothing all day, happily. The room I took was beautiful, complete with stained-glass windows. Everything was clean. All basic amenities are in place. The location is convenient for visiting all Kolkata must-dos including Jorasanko, New Market, Park St etc.
Bestest of all though, is the food at Bhubanbari – the thali the caretaker makes – you can’t get better home-cooked food in Kolkata and that’s saying quite something.

I’m glad I discovered Bhubanbari on my first trip to Kolkata, and I look forward to returning here many many times.

Room is nice, traditional style in old house in North Kolkata, great for walking to Kurmotoli and the river ghats. Has a funky, artsy vibe.

Absolutely loved our stay and we were sad when it was time to leave this gem of a stay. We loved the ambience and how artsy and hippie it felt. The bathroom was very clean. Host was very amicable and cordial.

Loved the big rooms, high ceilings and design. The area is gentle and authentic. I had delicious food and a warm welcome.

Very nice host and food from the homestay was cooked delicious

Bhubanbari Penthouse apartment. The place is private and peaceful and the well- maintained roof garden is like a little oasis in the middle of a big city. The caretaker Mana and her son Saikat are lovely (the boy who is 9 speaks fluent English). I’ve ordered dinner every night and the food was delicious, very cheap and was delivered up to the roof. Gaurab who’s the owner but not always physically there is always available to sort things out if necessary as he’s very responsive (just send a message if necessary); if you happen to bump into him try to strike a conversation as he’s a real intellectual and a fascinating person from whom you could learn a lot about the house (where he was born) and on Kolkata. Overall, a first class place to stay in northern Kolkata – Highly recommended.
