We spent two weeks in Himachal Pradesh and this place was our favorite because it has all the things you want and none of the the things you don't! The mountain views were beautiful and uninterrrupted by other buildings. It was quiet and peaceful - no hustle bustle or air pollution (it's 12 km outside Simla.) We took the chairs... More

My friend and I spent 3 nights at Aapo Aap in late April and met with a warm welcome and great support from Shivi Who went out of his way to make us at home,lending us an Indian phone, ensuring we always had what we needed. The only down side was a malfunctioning pipe in the bathroom which gave a... More

3rd - 5th April 2013 - Arrived from Dharamshala to a lovely place to stay. Rooms were clean and of good size with nice, comfy duvets - not just blankets. Hot water worked well and bathrooms were clean. Breakfast was nice but with 3 other couples staying, we would have preferred our own table rather then having to make small... More

We stayed here as a party of three adults in two rooms. Shivi had not had many guests to stay recently and Aapo Aap appeared rather 'shut up' when we arrived. The rooms are functionally furnished rather than homely, and the terrace was devoid of any furniture - disappointing given the stunning views. We took breakfast and dinner in the... More

I have been travelling extensively throughout India and this is the best place I have ever stayed in: large, comfortable, very clean! rooms and extremely well kept in a quiet location. There is a large terrace with a very nice view. The manager Shivi is extremely nice and will do everything to make your stay as pleasant as possible. Unfortunately... More

Very quiet home along a ridge outside of Shimla. You will need transportation into town. Peaceful and restful. Unfortunately, the weather was very cold, but Shivi provided heaters, and an electric blanket so I was very comfortable at night. Did not get to enjoy the terrace, but it has a beautiful view of the valley below. Meals were excellent.

At a distance from the crowd of Shimla's Mall road, this is another home in the lap of nature where you can truly rejuvenate your inner soul. Large sized rooms with adequate furniture and heating facilities, classy bathrooms, big verandahs where you soak in the sunlight during the day and gaze at the stars at night is what this place...

I spent two nights at Aapo Aap homestay and thoroughly enjoyed my time there. Shivi was an excellent host, providing suggestions on places to visit and drawing maps of where I might want to walk. The rooms are really spacious and also have a kitchen and communal area. The view from the terrace is beautiful. My thanks to the cook:... More
