Ailyak Stays and Cafe, Shoja, Jibhi

The trail while reaching the dorm and kulfi also the overall stay was pretty

The food was really expensive from my side as a student but overall stay was totally worth it.

The property was exceptionally set up with walking distance from riverside. The vibe is amazing and the food is top notch. I was working when i stayed here and they have 2 wifis which made my work smooth. The hosts make you feel at home with their hospitality and their stories. All in all it was what i was looking for in the mountains. peace, vibes and close to nature

There’s nothing which i dont like about the stay and the people i met there.

Easily one of my best stays in Himachal! The place is surrounded by stunning views—nature, a peaceful stream, and all the mountain magic. But what truly makes it special? The hosts. They treat you like family. Add to that the amazing food and warmth, and you’ve got the kind of stay that stays with you ❤️

There’s honestly nothing to dislike about this place. The only problem? Once you come here, you’ll definitely end up extending your trip. It’s just that good—peaceful vibes, amazing food, and the kind of comfort that makes it really hard to leave.

I stayed at Ailyak Shoja as a solo female traveller, and it genuinely felt like one of the safest and most comforting mountain stays I’ve experienced. From the moment I arrived, the hosts made sure I felt at ease never intrusive, always present when needed. As a woman travelling alone, that balance matters a lot, and they gets it right. The property feels secure, respectful, and grounded in care. Being a riverside stay, electricity can be a little erratic, but what stood out was how thoughtfully this was handled. A light inverter backup was available, and they even provided a power bank something I’ve rarely seen hosts proactively offer. It showed how much they actually think about guest comfort rather than just mentioning “power cuts” as a disclaimer. The views are calming and beautiful with lush greens, the sound of the river, and a sense of slowing down that’s hard to find elsewhere. Mornings felt peaceful, and evenings were cozy rather than isolating. The food deserves a special mention which are simple, fresh, and made with care. It felt nourishing, especially after long walks or just quiet days spent doing nothing.
