Traveller reviews

“Don’t look further, just book this place!”
30 Apr 2025
It was a fantastic experience staying with this lovely family in their beautiful home. The accommodation was clean, comfortable and had everything you need and is in a nice quiet area. The hosts are wonderful, making you feel at home instantly and around for advice or help if you need them. Great food as well. Don’t waste your time looking anywhere else, this place is perfect!

“Stay if you want a memory”
25 Apr 2025
Felt lucky to stay with this host family in a wing of their 180-year old home. All that you need thought of and provided. A bit of a walk up from town, easy tuk-tuk

“Fabulous authentic family hospitality in beautiful home”
13 Apr 2025
We had a delightful stay at House of Merchants with Dhawala and his lovely and engaging family. Their beautiful home is in a peaceful local area (close to the Fort but tucked away from the busy tourist/ local areas), with parking for our rented tuk tuk. The guest accomodation area is spacious with all you need (including great air conditioning - plus open windows and fan if you choose) comfortable bed; reading lounge and fridge) - all with beautiful authentic simplicity characteristic of place and family! Do not miss out on all Sandya’s delicious authentic home cooked meals - the lamprais rice was fabulous! All in all, we highly recommend House of Merchants and Dhawala and family’s genuine hospitality is second to none. Thankyou so much 🌺

“Restful and historic accommodation with friendly hosts.”

Lovely hospitality from family who runs the property including a tour of the rest of the house and even a ride to the bus stop as we left.
