Surya Kunj Home Stay

A very good and comfortable home-stay. The owner is very friendly, often has exciting conversations about Rajasthan's history and philosophy. Homely food was another great part. But, we did not get free wifi connection as promised on the homestay's page/advertisement. When asked, the owner instead asked me to top-up his internet connection (They would turn off the wifi router everyday in the evening, night and early morning hours). This was quite rude and weird. I had thought of working in leisure hours but all in vain. I fail to understand how such a friendly owner denied us a free internet connection. :(

The stay was a total success thanks to Mr. Singh who gave us good tips on sightseeing and Polo matches. Home-made food was highly appreciated and so were the conversations with the owner. We slept well and had a great time.

owner makes you stay agreeable....a bit far from the fort but good restaurant near by...I stayed there twice...

Surraj the owner makes sure you have what you need and is full of information about the city and anything else....we spent foot time talking about all sort of topics....a nice play to stay..

Surya kunj was a great experience. The owner was extremely helpful n accommodating and very interesting to talk to. The rooms were cozy n comfortable with all required amenities. Definitely recommended !

We enjoyed stay at Surya Kunj Home stay. Extremely clean, elegantly furnished with old style well maintained furnishing, spacious lounge where you have break fast, can sit and read, meet other tourists. Owner, Mr. Sajan singh is extremely helpful in guiding your tour, answering queries and very helpful. I remembered my home stays in scotland. The only area for improvement could be some variety in break fast. I would highly recommend it to women travellers, very safe and nice place to stay.

Sajjan Singh is your host and makes your stay a refreshing change from the ordinary.

Our stay at Surya kunj was ver comfortable. It was a home in an unknown land.Mr Sajjan Singh with his service did his best to make our stay memorable. It was so homely environment and we were very impressed with the hospitality extended to us.

i loved my time at Surya Kunj and it was wonderful meeting the host and his family. the time he spends with you and the wealth of information the man possess is fantastic. he helped me plan my trip around the rest of india and recommended seeing some unforgettable sights and experiences in Jodhpur. he says its a home from home and i cannot agree more. truly comfort and enjoyment is his first prerogative and ensuring you have a good time under his roof. thank you again and i hope to see you in the not so distant future.

This was our highlight in last trip to India throughout Rajasthan. We were upgraded to a "family room" (which costs more than the room we actually booked) without being charged extra. The owner was so kind and helpful to give the best schedule for us to visit all attractions in Jodhpur. The family belongs to an elite class so talking to the owner about various topics, such as history, culture and so on... is always the interesting part of our stay over there. His house is large, having a very cozy and beautifully decorated living room. And he has a pet (a dog, huge but so cute) which is as friendly! We were 2 girls and had to catch a bus to Jaipur at midnight so the owner was so caring that he even drove us (by himself) to the bus station and just waited until we could make our safe departure. Thank you for everything!

Sajjan Singh's home is a delight and his helpfulness and attention to detail is a credit to him and his family.

I travelled with my parents and my wife to Jodhpur and chose this accommodation option on my way to Jaisalmer. We arrived pretty late by train (around 10.30 PM) from Jaipur and by the time we finished our dinner, it was 11.15 PM already. The owner - Mr. Sajjansingh himself drove to the restaurant and took us as well as our luggage back to his villa. We felt much obliged by the gesture and the efforts taken by Mr. Sajjansingh. Next day we took breakfast with Mr. Singh and he chatted with us for long regarding the history of Jodhpur. He himself belongs to one of the royal families and that is pretty much visible through his conduct and his home. You can get different items on different days for breakfast and those who prefer to have home-cooked non-spicy food, this would be a heaven. We were advised regarding the best spots in the city and he also arranged for an auto-rickshaw (which was much more fun and definitely cheaper than the ones we find in Mumbai). The fort and the palace in Jodhpur are perpahs the best in Rajasthan (I am comparing them with Jaipur and Jaisalmer). We had a great time. As the owner says, this is a 'homestay' rather than a 'hotel' and we never found ourselves treated as customers or outsiders. For those who are afraid of dogs, Seba will be a surprise for sure. Extremely cute and loving pet and we were really sad that we could not spend much time inside the house. For those who are unaware of the concept of homestay, please do visit this place once and you will realize the essence.

I LOVE THIS HOTEL/ HOMESTAY. best accommodation in india, we stay in sajjan house, who was very welcoming the moment we reached Surya Kunj, he spent time chatting with us , getting to know us better. their house is big, and clean, with strong wifi, i felt like i was home away from home. he talked to us about many things, whenever we are in the house, he is like an open wikipedia, so knowledgeable. he explained many things to us, with regards to planning our short trip in jodhpur and even arranged transportation for us. breakfast was awesome as well, feels just like back at home, even better than home! he chatted with us while we are having breakfast, and whenever he could when we are at his place. we make special arrangement to have lunch at his place as we heard so much about his wife's cooking, and its really great. Sajjan even sent us to the bus station as we were running late. Half way to the bus station, his Tyre burst and he had to change it on the spot under time constraint. He was sweating so badly, but managed to send us to the bus station on time. Sajjan even stand outside the bus, waited and ensured the bus left before he left. I guess he was worried for us three girls. We were so touched by his move. This place is definitely not a hotel that we usually stay. We felt like we stayed in a friend's place. I would highly recommend this place to all agoda user! Good Job Sajjan, will visit you again soon!

We can highly recommand this place. You feel like at home and get better proposals than somewhere else!

Big clean rooms, very family like atmosphere. Very much enjoyed our chats with Sajjan, the home owner who shared many interesting stories and made the sights more meaningful. The guest rooms are in one part of the house where the family stays in another. There's a living room in the guest area, which makes it good for larger groups too.

a very nice and lovely place with a very friendly owner, who is a great source of information about the sightseeing in and around jodhpur and a great talker. moreover, he and his wife were very prompt to respond to my requests. arriving late at night they prepared immediately a fine indian dish, one of the best i had during my trip in india. staying at the place you also help a small child gets education, which i found as a very commendable cause. the hotel is very conveniently located to the by-pass road saving you from entering the traffic inside the city when you go to the fort. all in all, a very enriching experience.

We booked this place because of the good recommendations. And it did fully live up to our big expectations. It was a very good room and big bathroom with shower. The owner Sajjan Singh gave us a very nice welcome and his recommendations about how to spend the time in Jodhpur was very good and informative. We only stayed for two nights, but we would have planned more nights if we had known about the great hospitally and service that was offered to us. The rooftop terrace had a lovely view. The best thing was to return to the room at the end of our day and smelling the good food waiting for us to eat. We will definitely stay here again, if we come back to India.

warm welcome and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. the owner, gave us lots of tips and even made a reservation for us at a local restaurant. on our last day there me and my wife left early in the mornig and our daughter, who was going back to delhi in the evening, was able to stay with the family all day and even took her to the train station.
