Great homestay in Agra. Moses went above and beyond to make me feel at home. Good facilities and nice breakfast that's included.

Kieran Australia

The ambience of the homestay and the family is amazing. One should visit ZigZag homestay if you guys are planning for the Agra trip. I had my breakfast there and the breakfast was damn tasty. Y

Ajay India

Felt like home! Also a few minutes walk to Taj Mahal. Location is excellent. Also near lots of restos and shops. Owners Moses and John were so accommodating and helpful. Loved the secret sunset tour the most! Highlight of our trip❤️

Aisa Philippines

Very nice stuff, extremely helpful. The hostel is located walking distance to Taj Mahal.

Martyna Poland

Everything about this hostel is great. Good room. Great location and the best staff

Triparna India

The people who own the hostel are very nice and hospitable. They helped us out with our sightseeing plans and suggested places to go to for food as well. The location is excellent. Cabs drop you off at the Oberoi Amarvilas and from there you need to walk 2 minutes to Zigzag. Taj Mahal is an 8min walk and you can see it early morning easily. It is cheap and offers good facilities for the money. They also gave us a heater when we asked for it because it was cold at night in January when we visited.

Vashi India

Very hospitable place and the Rosario brothers are super helpful. Comfy beds and good food at reasonable price.

Baloo India

The food was amazing, the location is 10 min walk from the Taj Mahal and the staff are simply amazing. Also I recomend the sunset tour!!

Paula Brazil

John was a great host so kind and helpful! The bike tour to the 'secret spot' was really nice. Easy walk to the Taj Really nice chill place, really recommend!

Mairead Ireland

A very calm and nice place. The owner is very helpful and friendly. It's nice to chat with him and get advice when needed. One of the best accommodation in India. There was a clean room and a clean bathroom. We highly recommend it!
