I have hosted many Indian guests and would like to share with you my experiences and impressions--
1) I would say *most* are quite good, very respectful and quiet, but the percentage of not-so-okay ones among them (treating your home like a hotel) is definitely worth noticing. I was told it depends on where they are from in India.
2) They normally don't drink coffee, and if they do, it should be Indian instant coffee.
3) They drink Indian masala chai, which I have at home for them for free.
4) They call all instant noodles "Maggi." Many eat "Maggi" pretty much everyday. I do tell them that it's not healthy. But there are also some who order takeout from Under Eats everyday.
5) One thing is pretty confusing to me: Quite a few of them thought that my food and drinks in the refrigerator and fruits on the kitchen counter top were for them. I don't know what makes them think so, and why most of them don't?
6) They consume much less toilet paper, and I have bidets installed in each bathroom and they all appreciate it. If you don't have a bidet, you should get one! You will find it hard to get back to using toilet paper only!
7) They love talking about Hindi movies, P.K, Three Idiots, Pad Man, Secret Superstar, Pink, Aamir, Khan, etc. etc. and the Telugu movie, R.R.R. Since I am relatively more familiar with Indian culture than most fellow guests, it always makes me a popular host to Indians.
