Pibo Homestay

Nice location, good staff specifically john. Host is very kind and nice person.

Everything good, except AC is not on power backup.

Cleanliness, location

Pibo homestay is a very nice place to stay for a family in port blair. It is well maintained and clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The owner of the property helped us in booking of local travel, Jolly boy ferry and guided about the visiting places nicely. I definitely recommend this homestay.

Aesthetically the location is good and the rooms are spacious and with big sturdy and comfy beds. Enough space for four family members. The good thing is the AC has a UPS power supply. The place is pretty clean and materialistically the rooms look good as per port blair standards. Except you don't feel like it's a homestay. It does not have the vibes of a home stay. What I think is they profile guests and treat them accordingly could be slight discrimination. In the morning sunrise and at evening sunset time the view looks good from the balcony and its full of greenery. The Wi-Fi connection speed about 50mbps to 60mbps and which is good. Sufficient parking place.

There are five wall power sockets in the room and only one of the socket will have power supply and the rest of the sockets do not have power supply when the main supply is cut off. so the inverter supplies power to only one socket. If you have multiple devices then it will be hard to charge. Don't get confused when some of the wall sockets are not working when there is a mains power cut off. I asked for kitchenware. They said the kitchen is not disposable for guests. I was like what. They listed these facilities on booking.com. At the time of writing this review they corrected facilities. I ordered food on swiggy and got it delivered. When I sent them the booking.com facilities that they listed then they said that I can use the dining room and everything is available on the first floor. By that time I had already started eating from the swiggy parcel box. I was disappointed and felt lonely. I didn't feel like this was a homestay. What I can say is that it doesn't really matter how materialistically the place looks outside and when the owner of the house is not welcoming and you don't feel like at home. then one doesn't want to stay. I lived in a few home stays and never experienced something like this. If its your first booking to any place then go with only 1 or 2 days then experience it yourself. So that if you experience the hospitality is not expected then you can leave without trouble.
