Great, friendly and helpful staff. They organised a tour to ride a camel in the desert that was superb. The food served was plenty and tasty, unmissable!! Even in the rain, yes it has rain when we were there.

Desert boys is a great guesthouse in Jaisalmer. They offer free pick up from the train station and even though our train was 4 hours late they were still there to pick us up. The guesthouse is actually in the fort which is pretty interesting, so most of the things to see are within a 5 minute walk. The rooms... More

Everything about Desert Boys is awesome. The location, the views, the rooms, the food.....and most importantly the staff. It's owned and run by 3 brothers who have put their hearts, hard work and friendliness into everything they do. Everyone will treat you so well that you'll feel like family and won't want to leave. Also, you MUST organize the desert... More

When we got to Jaisalmer, one of us was sick and we needed to get into a hotel fast. We ended up in the Desert boy guesthouse, which has been wonderful. The staff is very helpful, they do not try to force any camel safari onto you. They are standby litterally 24h. The place is very nicely decorated, and it's... More

We've been in Jasailmer in July 2012, we arrived by car after a long night travel. We've been looking around for places to stay, we've checked out quite a few before we found Desert Boy Guest House. Right from the start you would be surprised of how beautiful the place is, right inside the fort, with amazing terraces and views... More

Value for money, amazing hospitality! They organized the non touristic safari for us, ensured that we are comfortable throughout the trip. Cooked food, organized the tents in the middle of nowhere in the desert. I know it's their job but the dedication and the involvement of these guys was terrific. Highly recommended!

The Jaisalmer fort is one of the few living forts in India, so don't miss the opportunity to stay within the fort when you're in Jaisalmer. Each room is uniquely and adequately furnished to look like a heritage hotel. Most importantly, the bathrooms are clean and there is hot water from the taps for the most part of the day.... More

We came to Jaisalmer with night train, tired and exhausted. With our last strenght after 2weeks of traveling, we took some time and check 6 or 7 guest houses in Jaisalmer. This one was the best, and we didn't regret our choice. Complite house is beautiful and clean, with 3 teraces with town view, atrium, and cute little restaurant with... More
