Meera K.
The compact pods felt congested, and there were quite a lot of mosquitoes. Interiors are minimal, but for this pod setup the lack of a TV or other entertainment didn't bother us. It's more suited to a quick 1-2 day visit, an Auroville trip, a marathon stay, or backpacking than a spacious or luxurious holiday. Check-in and checkout were easy, and the place felt safe and simple. We stayed for the Auroville marathon and wanted a budget place near the visitor centre, about 1.5-2 km away. The concept is unusual, with pods among green gardens and a few cute cats. The whole property runs on solar energy, which was nice. Each small pod has a bed, attached bathroom and toilet, and personal table fans for each bed. We visited in February, so AC wasn't needed, though I don't know how it would be in peak summer. Ventilation is limited. The fan blowing straight at your face was uncomfortable at times, especially if you're sensitive to airflow or have breathing issues, but turning it down made the small pod feel a bit suffocating. Pricing was average. It was an okay experience, with a different concept and peaceful surroundings. I'd rate it 3/5.

The property is nice, but definitely not worth the money. We booked through Airbnb and checked out the same day. We were fine with no AC because it was described as naturally ventilated, but it didn't feel that way. With mosquitoes everywhere, keeping the doors open wasn't an option, and by evening it was unbearable. It became extremely stuffy, so we decided to leave. When we raised our concerns, they didn't make a fuss and respectfully let us go with a refund from Airbnb.

Mr. Ravi was a lovely host, helping us get a scooty and arrange an auto. The surroundings are beautiful and so peaceful, with greenery to sit and enjoy over a hot cup of tea, and board games to play too. It's a unique stay, and the view from the door is calming. Being close to Auroville makes it a perfect place to stay in Pondicherry. The hosts were incredibly warm. We enjoyed every bit of it. Big thanks to them. 🙏🏾

The place is quiet, neat, and the serenity is well maintained. Host Ravi was friendly. The rooms were clean, with all the necessary toiletries, though it's a pod so a little congested. That didn't matter to me.

I travelled solo and felt very safe, with the warmth of the pet cats around the property. The host and manager were extremely helpful, going the extra mile to share details about activities happening in and around Auroville that day. Everything was coordinated on time, and they offered what you might need under one roof. True value for money, and the whole experience was seamless.
