The hotel entrance is hard to find

Good location and friendly staff

Nothing. Everything was great considering the price

The value for money. Very kind reception staff, which I haven't experienced in any of the 5* resorts in India, and beyond. Value for money, nice big bathroom and comfortable beds. Views from our room and outside area were great. Fresh cakes for breakfast and great cappuccino. 5 minutes walk from the "Dalai Lama" temple.

If there is a spot we can take photos for snow mountains it would be perfect!

The breakfast is good and coffee is very delicious with professional level. Very joyful stay in the hotel.

Well, the only point where we had a little issue was that the Hotel served mostly vegetarian foods. As we are basically non-vegetarian, it would have helped to have some non-veg in the menu. However, we were completely aware beforehand about the food and hence no complain. There could be a few more Tibetan menu in the breakfast to make it more exciting.

My experience in staying Norbu House is quite ecstatic. We booked two suites Yewang suite and Norbu suite for four adults in a family. Although we travelled in a very popular time period (Holi break), I was happy to find the property to be absolutely peaceful. We particularly liked the corner suite (most probably Norbu suite) for the outstanding view. The point of absolute excitation was to get a great view of His Holiness the Dalai Lama residence and the temple. I could carry out my meditation in the morning with the gentle fresh wind from the white mountains and watching the temple of His Holiness all the time. I also wish to mention that the temple is just connected with the Hotel through a very short road and we are grateful to Tenzinji for his kind help as soon as we approached him.

The only thing I didn't like was the cold shower on the first morning as I didn't realise the heater needed switching on - no big deal, certainly woke me up.

Norbu House is situated on a rare quiet road in McLeod Ganj, so provides a relief from the traffic (and incessant horn blowing of Indian drivers). It has amazing views down over the Dalai Lama's Temple and his private residence - the terrace is a fabulous place to eat breakfast in the morning sun. The breakfast buffet is simple, with a couple of Indian dishes, plus western staples like toast, eggs (cooked to order) and there are also 2 fresh backed cakes.. plus excellent cappucino with no additional charge. The MoMos with cottage cheese I ordered one eve are delicious. The hotel is family owned and very welcoming - the owners daughter was particularly warm and friendly, with better English than mine :)

Norbu House is just beautiful. it is located very close to Dalai Lama temple and walking distance of the market, restaurant and temples of McLeod ganj. The rooms are very nice with a view over Dharamshala and across to the white peaks of the Himalayas. The staff are lovely and very kind. Looking forward to returning one day.

Tenzin and the entire family are just amazing hosts. From the moment you arrive till you leave Norbu House you will be touched by the kindness, compassion and the hospitality of everyone there. The views are amazing and you can see the Dalai Lama temple from the balcony and it is only a few minutes walk from the hotel. The breakfast is par excellence and every morning we had a sumptuous feast before setting out for the days adventures. There is everything included in the menu which you can expect at any of the 5 or 7 star hotels and the best part is the warmth with which the food is served and the amazing view of the Himalayas whilst sipping your morning coffee. I would love to go back there any given day.

Nothing!

Staff was so nice and helpful! Location was great! It was practically right in town, but down a cul de sac so away from the noise of traffic. Amazing views and such a peaceful stay! Also have a gorgeous garden!

Everything was great. No complaints.

The name says Norbu House, but it should be Norbu Home. At least that's how I felt during my 3 night stay. The hotel is perched on a hillside just a block or two off the main market street. My room was spacious and clean and had a balcony with an amazing view. The food in the restaurant is great and the terrace provides the same incredible view. The main thing that makes this place feel like a home is Tenzin, who seems to live behind the front desk. He's always there and is so kind and helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

Nothing comes to mind.

Every aspect of my stay was exceptional! The entire staff is committed to guests' needs and comfort. The owner is present to greet guests as they check-in and check-out and is present during days and evenings.The food is excellent and the brunch buffet, that's included, is robust and delicious. The rooms are beautiful, comfortable and the entire facility is very clean and attractive. Did I mention the view? Amazing!.The terrace for dining (and many rooms) overlooks HH The Dalai Lama's temple and residence and lower Dharamsala. There is plenty of space to meditate and enjoy. Thank you for a most magical stay. Hotel Norbu House feels like a home away from home.

Nothing that I unliked.

I liked the entirety of the hotel services, be it the welcoming attitudes of the hosts or the proactivity of the staff throughout the day - very courteous, yet professional in understanding what a guest needs. The rooms were comfortable, and clean, and just loved the fact that towels were changed every day. The location of the hotel is the icing on the cake with such a 360-degree glamorous panorama of the Dauladar range, the beautiful valley of the lower Dharamsala a blissful view of His Holiness the Dalai Lama`s residence, just making our day contented and blessed. Extremely professional service.
