Prachi D.
The location might be a problem for some, though it's near the highway. The host was kind and cooperative, and the management and arrangements were great. There’s a fully equipped kitchen, lockers, and beds in enclosed and open areas. Beds outside the open area have a fan, pillow, blanket, and curtains for some privacy. There are books, a pool table, a rooftop, and a wall where you can scribble.

I hadn't tried a hostel before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. This place was lively and vibrant, and every room and surface was as clean as possible. The hosts and other travellers made our stay feel ten times better. It honestly felt like a group of friends sharing a farmhouse. So glad I didn't book a boring hotel room. Loved it 😍💯

We really enjoyed staying here, and my friend was happy with everything too. The hosts were kind and helpful, and guided us around Pondicherry. The beds were very comfortable, with curtains and a personal fan that made each one feel like a private cabin in the dorm. Rooms have air conditioning, and the hostel was peaceful and well kept. You could get cheap home cooked meals if you wanted. There’s a pool table, books, and a terrace that’s great for watching the stars. Would recommend, and hope to come back soon!

The highlight for me was Rahul, the host. He gave great recommendations, helped with everything, and enjoyed spending time with guests or taking them to his cafe in auroville. The rooms are big, the beds comfortable, the showers hot, and there’s AC. I had a lot of fun and made plenty of friends. Definitely worth five stars, highly recommended!

The place wasn't clean, and the property managers looked very shady to me. Even on my motorcycle it was hard to find and reach, and it's well outside pondi city. I don't understand how it has a 4+ rating. Women should definitely stay away.
