A true cultural experience

5.00I had a wonderful stay at Charubala Homestay. Sawon and his family were very welcoming and I felt safe and comfortable as a solo traveller. I did a couple of day trips with Sawon exploring beautiful waterfalls, mountains, tea plantations and local villages. We even spent an afternoon at a local politician's football game! It was a true immersive experience in Bangladeshi culture that I am grateful to Sawon for sharing with me and I highly recommend.
Great experience with locals in Bangladesh

5.00I really loved the moment when I was in the Homestay. They are lovely and tell me Bangladesh stories that it can find from only natives. The food was great. Even I visited some places nearby. I played badminton with local students! I want to visit again:)

5.00Our stay at Charubala homestay with Sawon and his family was like being reunited with long lost family. Even before setting foot in Bangladesh, Sawon was already helping us organise a myriad of things, from transportation to trip logistics, which was invaluable help. Once we arrived in Sylhet, Sawon met us at the airport and took us around for a grand tour of the area, meeting different tribes and villages along the way to his village home in Juri. The house is an authentic Bangladeshi farmhouse, complete with crops and cattle. Even though we were hit with a freak rainstorm at night, the house is very sturdy, so we barely noticed it, apart from the thunder. Home-cooked meals were made with love and care. We also had the fortune of seeing a Hindu worship ceremony at the nearby temple, with Sawon explaining and bridging the communication with the local residents. All in all it was a great stay to experience the raw authenticity of village life in Bangladesh. Truly memorable. Thank you so much Sawon and family!
A wonderful experience as a lifetime memory!

5.00While I was travelling around the world, I met Shaon and became friends with him and had him give me a tour of the homestay, traditional food and Siret on a motorbike, which was a great experience. It is still a vivid memory and one I will never forget. Shaon's family were all kind and warm and very welcoming and it was amazing. It was really good to experience it because it was all things I couldn't usually experience as a Japanese. I want to go back and see my family again someday. Wishing your family and Shaon a healthy and happy life ☺️✨

5.00What an incredible experience had with Sawon! In just 2 days we were able to do so much together : hours exploring on motorcycles, meeting local tribes, observing migratory birds, meeting all his friends and family.... He's really an incredible guy, interesting, caring, respectful and very ambitious, with great plans for the future. This experience made my trip to Bangladesh even more unique and it is for this kind of experience that I travel ... thank you for these unique moments and see you in 5 years!!! If you travel to Bangladesh, you have to meet him ... you won't regret it believe me

5.00My time in the charubala Homestay was fantastic! First of all, Sawon, was an excellent host, guide and most importantly, friend. He made me feel comfortable wherever I was, and insured I was having the best experience. His family was lovely and fed me great food and he himself took me to many places and we spent some great times together making memories in different villages, and having a truly authentic local experience. I look forward to revisiting Sawon, and making some more stories with him.
An unforgettable, truly authentic experience in Sylhet

5.00My stay with Sawon was hands down one of the most special and unique travel experiences I’ve ever had in Bangladesh—meeting him is a must if you come to this region. I stayed at his place in Sylhet, where I got to meet his friendly housemates and immediately felt at home. From there, we travelled together to his village, where he introduced me to several indigenous communities and I even got to celebrate Holi with them. It was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to experience authentic Bangladeshi culture and meet the most wonderful, welcoming people—especially his family—whom I never would have met if I were travelling alone. Sawon is a very special host: incredibly warm-hearted, attentive to every need, and genuinely committed to his community. You can really feel how much he cares about both his guests and the people around him. I’m wishing him all the best with his homestay project and I highly recommend staying with him if you want something truly meaningful, not just a place to sleep. Thank you again for everything—I hope I can host you someday too!
Local hospitality, tea plantations, and unforgettable memories

5.00I stayed with Sawon’s family for three nights, and even though Sawon himself was in London at the time, everything was perfectly organized and smoothly coordinated. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with great warmth and hospitality, which immediately made me feel comfortable and at home. During my stay, I had the chance to explore the surrounding area with a local friend: we visited a Khasi village, a beautiful waterfall, and several tea plantations, making for a truly enjoyable and authentic experience. On another day, we explored more tea plantations and visited a nearby nature reserve, where I was fortunate enough to see migrating birds, a memorable and peaceful experience. Many thanks to Sawon and his lovely family for their kindness and generosity. I highly recommend this experience to travelers looking for genuine local hospitality and meaningful cultural encounters.

Everything was perfect: great vibes, delicious and relaxed meals, discovering the surrounding area and local villages, and even an amazing jungle hike. Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and for sharing your home and your culture with us. These few days will stay in our memories for a long time. Truly a beautiful experience with beautiful people.
