Response from the owner Dear Marc, Thanks for your review. The Golden Bird's homestay has Student volunteers from all around the globe who comes from the different volunteering agency but, we also focus some guests who come to us from different OTA markets. We charge USD 12-15 per day which includes accommodation, 2 meals & tea, coffee. so this is not a hi-fi lodge and we generally give sharing room to our customer. We also have a homestay rule that our guests need to come around 10pm because this is not a hotel and we care our guests saftey and secutiry as well. You are leaving in a Nepali family and we have to setup the rules as you will be staying with our family. Extremely sorry if you feel this inappropriate. We have a wifi which have a resonable speed. I understand it is not comparable with the speed with other countries but we can get what the current technology is inside the country. Regarding the booking.com we are trying to fix the payment invoice because it is harder to pay this sort of invoice from Nepal banking system. We also have solar backup system for wifi to our home but sometimes we used to have loadshedding that's why you might get some problem. Have a great time. Kind regards Dharma
