    Nothing to dislike .. an abosolutely perfect stay !!!

    The location was awesome.. one of the best decisions I took for a solo travel. A serene atmosphere with neat and clean surroundings where one can find ultimate peace in the midst of nature. Add to that the facilities of The Hosteller Kareri was top notch and Ashok ji maintained everything beautifully. The food was awesome and delicious. All in all a wholesome experience.. woukd definitely recommend to visit and personally would love to visit again.

    I visited this place around Dec 26. Rooms were really cold. They provide two blankets which keep you warm in bed but given other excellent things about this hostel, I would also provide a blower to keep room warm during winter

    Location, staff, view from top, bonfire, delicious food at canteen

    Outside of summer make sure you have lots of layers or a big jacket for evening and early morning. Common area / restaurant is same temperature as outside which was pretty cold at night in November.

    Comfortable accommodation in a very rural and beautiful farming/shepherd village. Rooms clean and comfortable most/all with sunny balconies. Comfortable common areas with beautiful views of the snowy mountains and daily village life. Restaurant serving unexpectedly fantastic Indian food and hot drinks all day. Perfect area for hiking, walking, soaking in nature and quiet, learning about village mountain life and relaxing. Very little else to do but pure bliss if this is what you want. Short walk to a beautiful river with deep pools to swim in. Lovely short or long walks in every direction. Staff who can give advise on activities/hikes or call others to help you if needed.

    The place was cleaner than I expected. Beautiful place. Must visit. A little far from the city though and roads were also not that great, but the property was amazing & even the food was great.

    That I haven’t spent more time there!

    Incredible location with an unparalleled mountain view. Hanging out on the hostel’s rooftop terrace is pure joy. Everything is clean and tidy, the staff is warm, welcoming, and helpful with anything you need. The kitchen offers a great variety of delicious meals for great prices. One of the highlights of my trip to India so far, hard place to leave.

    We really loved our stay there. The area is very calm and surrounded by beautiful landscape. Rooms are basic but the price is very fair. Terrace is amazing and restaurant has great food and fair prices. Perfect place to go and relax and perhaps hike a little bit.

    The food menu was a bit limited, but there is a good cafe opposite.

    Really helpful staff who helped to arrange whatever we needed. Kareri is a beautiful small mountain village. It's a great base for trekking and to enjoy the surrounding nature.
