It is a homestay rather than a hotel (and we have rated it on that basis) - which as a family of four we really liked. My children scored it 10/10 for friendliness. The hosts and staff are very calm and helpful - our rooms were very clean and big and we had use of a small garden terrace. We messed up our train booking to Delhi and the owners swiftly helped us make alternative arrangements which was very appreciated. Their food recommendation was also fab - dosai, mocktails and ice cream sundaes a few mins walk away. It is on a nice quiet street with the Taj Mahal about 1km away. There is also a Pizza Hut at the end of the road which the children loved.

Water is provided in small plastic bottles.

Absolutely the best room in Agra! I stayed at Bansi Home Stay and had an incredible experience. The room was Super BIG, cozy and clean, and the breakfast was SPECTACULAR! The hosts were super friendly and helpful, providing great recommendations for exploring the city. Bathroom was amazing too, shower was the best. The reception team was very receptive and helped organize everything for us. But what really made our stay stand out was the warmth and kindness of the people. They truly made us feel at home. We would return without hesitation - in fact, we're already planning our next trip! If you're looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay in Agra, look no further than Bansi Home Stay. Highly recommended!

Nothing

The homestay is located at the end of a small and quiet street yet all attractions are just a short tuk tuk ride away. There are also plenty of Shops and Restaurants within walking distance. If you dont want to walk, there are plenty of tuk tuks waiting at Subrata Road, 1 minute away from the homestay. The rooms are equipped to a high standard, spacious and the house itself is beautiful with a wonderful, green terrace on the second floor and areas to sit and relax. The Breakfast is freshly prepared and contains indian breakfast but also eggs in all variations as well as toast and jam. What made our stay special was the hospitality and care of the host Mr. Burman. He arranged tours for us, gave us general tips about India and even helped us get Indian SIM cards. Thank you again! If we ever come back to Agra we would love to stay at Bansi Home Stay again.

Nothing, we really enjoyed staying at Bansi Home Stay.

Burman, the owner and his charming wife Karen, run a lovely operation. He's ex-India tourist department and still very well connected. So when we asked for a guide and a tuk tuk for half a day he got us one of the best guides in the city (in IMHO 😉). The house is classy and intimate, like a boutique hotel. You eat breakfast with the other guests and a good opportunity to swap experiences. There's a very pretty secluded roof terrace if you opt for a room in the second floor. No hesitation in rating this a 5*

Can't think of anything

The homestay is just another home away from your home. The owner Mr Burman is a very nice gentleman who takes care of guests like his own children. The housekeeping staff are very friendly and caring. They will try their best to keep you comfortable. The breakfast was simple, homely and excellent.

Nothing to complain

Just to feel good The Bansi Home Stay is not just a place to stay. Located in a quiet side street, equipped with large and clean rooms, with fully functional AC, complemented by a varied breakfast, the Bansi Home Stay convinces with the friendliness and hospitality of the owners and their staff. How I enjoyed listening to Mr Burman's stories, general guidance and recommendations. No question was too much for him. He and his wife did everything to ensure that my stay in Agra and in India in general will always be remembered as a wonderful time and such a valuable experience. For me, the Bansi Home Stay is a home away from home. Lisa from Germany

The breakfast was great. The location was also great with a variety of restaurants, shops, pubs, transportation and banking needs nearby. The property itself is immaculate and charming. But what makes Bansi Homestay great are the wonderful and helpful owners. All my sightseeing needs were managed by them with honest tuk tuk drivers and car services. Staying at the Bansi Homestay is the best decision to make when visiting Agra.

N/A

An absolute gem of a place - I cannot recommend this guesthouse highly enough to anyone staying in Agra. Firstly it’s super clean, one of two cleanest places I stayed in India in 5 weeks. Secondly Its location in a very quiet area for a good night’s sleep. You can walk or it’s a short tuk tuk ride to Taj Mahal and take tuk tuk to Agra Fort. If you wish the host can arrange an electric tuk tuk with a very safe driver. The guesthouse staff are welcoming no matter what time you arrive, flexible with requests and serve an excellent breakfast - eggs done anyway you like, freshly squeezed orange juice and delicious aloo parathas. The location is also very close to a very good authentic restaurant (recommended by the host), shops, an ATM (and liquor shop if you need it). Wifi is excellent. The host is the heart of this guesthouse. He is a lovely man and highly knowledgeable with professional background in tourism who responds very quickly to queries. He went out of his way to help us arrange transport within and out of Agra and accomodation (wonderful) at our next destination. Absolutely no hard sell of anything here. We loved being there so much we extended our stay.

There is nothing to dislike.

What a gem ! Lovely exceptionally clean homestay in a great location , 7 minute drive to Taj gate or 20 minute walk. Everything you need or have been craving is within a few minutes walk. Restaurants, Icecream, bakeries, coffee and yet it is down a lovely quiet residential street. The rooms are spacious and super clean and breakfast of freshly squeezed ojuice with best homemade paratha we've had in India. More like a lovely hotel . Cant recommend highly enough.

Nothing negative to say.

Finally I decided to see Taj Mahal. My twelfth trip to India but first visit to Agra. Staying at Bamsi Home Stay was an unforgettable experience. Very nice and clean rooms, delicious breakfasts. The hosts were caring almost like parents. Ultimately the three days spent in Agra were some of the best I have ever spent in India.
