The Bougainvillea - Bed & breakfast in Amritsar - Amritsar, India

A peaceful stay in very comfortable accommodation. Everything was clean and the shower was nice and hot. Breakfasts were absolutely delicious and we enjoyed trying some home cooked Punjab food. One particular favourite for me was the Gargal Pickle - yummy. The hostess helped to organize our taxi to see the border ceremony - an entertaining event! As the B&B was a good walk away from the busy centre it was nice and quiet. There are restaurants nearby, though we didn't visit any, and plenty of tuktuks at hand. Sometimes we felt customer service could have been a little friendlier but overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others.

Overall, my experience was the worst I had during my trip to India. The room and the bathroom were very dirty, even the facilities in the bathroom were broken. It looks like the owners are trying to save money instead of offering great experience for their guests. There was no hot water when we arrived because the heater was not turned on, so we needed to wait some time for the water to come. Moreover, there was humidity in the room, and all clothes became wet from the first day. Everywhere in India, the hotels offer free bottled drinking water, only in this one the water was not. If you should take a rest from the busy day of your trip, this is not your hotel.

As Amritsar if filled with standard or pillgrim hotels, The Bougainvillea stays apart. This bed and breakfast will make you feel at home with a small garden and nice bohemian atmosphere. The team is friendly and delivers a perfect service. All this close to the old town but in a quiet lane. A sure choice.

Very neat and clean place. The interior is done quite thoughtfully. I loved the way every corner in beautifully decorated. The hosts are very kind, hospitable and helpful. We were 23 people but never faced a single issue. Very good breakfast. Overall it's a very nice place for staycation or vacation. I would highly recommend.

We were greeted by a comment about our race me being caucasian my partner asian. "Very controversial, These days" said twice ! Ignored but set the mood as uncomfortable from the beginning. The room was very dark with zero natural light, also with a damp musty cave like smell. The toilet drain also smells very strong. The place has the feeling you are under scrutiny all the time with no where to escape. We also asked to cancel our last night giving over 30hrs notice. Despite the guest house being empty (only one other family staying) the owner refused to allow us to cancel and insisted on full payment. A greedy and unnecessary way to act. Far from the center and attractions, overall we were just glad to leave If you don't like sunlight, like to be made to feel uncomfortable this place is for you! More of a 1000 a night place ! Not recommended

I would've rated it in the negative if given an option. The place and the people managing it are an absolute nightmare. The manager is too ignorant to look after the people who have paid money to stay. The beauty that is visible in the pictures is a cloak to the suffocation one feels in the property. Rooms are too small with zero ventilation. You will feel choked up with the weird smell in every room. The garden is an absolute mess if you think you could sit there comfortably. The top floor of the property looks like a haunted mansion. The manager switched off the lights that led to the top floor giving it an even creepier vibe. When we expressed our dissatisfaction to the owner, she snapped at us like we did something wrong. The property is too overpriced for the stay of quality. My Amritsar experience was ruined because of this uncomfortable stay. I had a horrible experience and I would not suggest this place to anyone.

Stayed here with my family in early December, 2021. We loved every aspect of the place. The rooms and bathrooms are simple but all very clean and welcoming. The outside seating areas are beautiful. Payal is a wonderful host. She recommended some great restaurants to us and helped us book reliable cabs. Hans who works at the property is a sweetheart and always willing to help with everything. If you're used to the luxuries of a hotel then this may not be for you (my parents took some time to warm up to the place) but if you're okay giving that up then this is the perfect place to stay!

The property was excellent... The deluxe room is mot as worth but i upgraded for the second night suite with garden view The room was cozy had a good vibe all over Had a good time spending half of my night at the garden only. Cleanliness was upto the mark. Breakfast was delicious though we missed for the first morning Staff (especially Hans uncle and aunty was very polite) 5 star to this property Will do stay back whenever I'll be back in Amritsar next time
