About The Awards

about

MakeMyTrip India's Favourite Homestays Awards (IFHA) are a people choice award brought to you in association with The Times of India to recognize the best in the homestays category.

The final winners will be selected through a combination of jury assessment and consumer votes. The Grand jury will include an eminent Interior designer and a favourite of millions, Twinkle Khanna along with Industry experts.

We invite you to help us choose the best homestays across India by voting for your favourite villa, apartment, hostel, vacation rental or even unique stays like igloos and houseboats.

The Cherry on the cake – Each voter gets a guaranteed discount on homestays. If your chosen homestay wins, you get a chance to win a Rs 20,000 MakeMyTrip Gift Voucher for your next holiday! 50 winners will be selected across the 12 categories.
