This was one of the BEST places I stayed at during my week in India. Coming to see the Taj Mahal is a once in a lifetime experience. If you get to stay overnight in Agra, don't hesitate to book your stay at Zigzag Homestay. It truly IS a lovely homestay and a welcoming place to enjoy an experience (not just a bed). Everything here is clean, convenient and well maintained. Moses (the host) is extremely knowledgeable and helpful and can organize anything you need. He knows all the secret spot and has access others don't have. Traveling as a solo female, his advice prior to arrival, during and even after departure, was reassuring, kind and very helpful so don't hesitate to ask. What an amazing home cooked dinner Moses's mom provided. Will definitely try her cooking class on the next visit.

The hotel is run by a warm, hospitable family, with a cozy living room for the reception area. My room was comfortable, with cold AC. You walk downstairs for the bathroom and toilet, but that was not a problem for me. The best part of my visit was the sunrise bike tour of a nearby village. It is a traditional village, an authentic experience of rural India, with no automobile traffic (mostly bikes and rickshaws), friendly locals, and no other tourists.

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

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

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❤️

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.

Really nice vibe and super helpful owner. He organized everything like Taj tickets, train tickets and tuktuk drivers for me. Really cozy and friendly place.

Our stay here was amazing! We arrived at the horrible time of 4:45 am and Moses kindly let us in with all our bags and showed us somewhere to keep them and sit. About 45 minutes later he came to talk to us about some ideas of what to do that day in Agra and booked us a tuk tuk to the Taj Mahal to see the sunrise and gave a great recommendation for breakfast afterwards. When we returned we were shown to our room by John (who was also lovely). We had dinner cooked by Moses and his mum (which was absolutely delicious) and a wonderful chat with Moses about India and some of its history. We enjoyed it so much here we didn’t want to leave and we wish we had know about their cooking classes and bike tours before as we would have LOVED to have done these! Couldn’t recommend staying here enough!
