    Though I received a call frm the Team member to check my whereabouts before I reach there and they also checked if I had hiked down safely yet coordination part could have been little better especially in the situation like Red Alert.

    I chose to book this place based on the photos, and I must say, it is truly amazing. Despite the challenging hike to get here, the location is fantastic, and the effort is well worth it. If you're a backpacker, I highly recommend visiting this place. We visited during the heavy rainy season and even faced a Red Alert situation, which led to a power outage. However, the place itself is a hidden gem, and the way it has been crafted is truly remarkable, with a strong focus on sustainability. The team members are incredibly friendly and go above and beyond to ensure that your stay is a wonderful experience.

    Nothing negative but be sure to buy all the little treats, snacks beverages cigarettes etc that makes you happy before. Because VistaStay is isolated and far from any commerce.

    Beautiful spot, great team of experienced staff, always ready to help and well aware of other places and hints to continue the journey. Hikings are awesome, sunset spot (30mn going up) or further the top mountain temple (additional 30mn max). Great menu, food is awesome.

    The property is remote, so moving in and out may be a challenge if you do not have a personal vehicle.

    A lot of things. The property is evolving with the efforts of many people including Akash, the excellent staff, volunteers, local villagers, and the visitors into an incredible place. The secluded location, the amazing food, the numerous flora and fauna, the aesthetics of all the constructions, the meditation cave, and the abundance of peace, quiet, and nature - all make it an amazing stay. I stayed there during the weekdays and was working. My days were productive and enjoyable.

    I arrived at the hostel feeling quite unwell and fatigued from 2 months hard-core travelling. Everyone at the hostel was so kind and supportive. Not only that, the hostel is gorgeous, with fabulous mountain views. I had a great time discovering new birds (so many) with the Merlin app. It's a super place for rest and relaxation.

    A bit noisy at times, when there are many guests or some renovation work.

    Excellent location, friendly staff. Good roommates. Quiet place, except when there are many guests. Excellent value for money. Simple healthy tasty food. Great sunrise and sunset views.

    We were violated at this hostel and the host handled it inappropriately. Unsafe.

    We had a serious incident occur whilst at this hostel forcing us to leave 3 nights early. The walls of this place are a couple of mm thick so essentially just a screen. At about 10pm, from the room next door we heard extremely loud (full volume shouting, no effort to be quiet at all) the moans and grunts of a man masturbating. Immediately I shouted EW STOP in fright and I know they heard me because it stopped immediately. To my horror, about 5 minutes later it started again. My partner was now in the room and he brayed on the wall - it stopped for some time, so we thought we could sleep, but again it started the same 10 minutes later. This went on and on, we couldn’t block it out with earplugs or earphones it was that loud, even another person entered and more moaning and grunting and other disturbing noises. At one point I screamed PLEASE STOP but they wouldn’t and this went on until the very early hours of the morning (3am) just 2ft away from our bed - we had nowhere to go, we couldn’t escape and the fact that I know they heard us shouting and pleading they stop made it an act of violence. I was extremely upset and felt seriously violated and assaulted to be honest. We woke up and I told the host we were leaving and explained - this was where it got even worse. Shantanu didn’t handle the situation well at all; making us play detective, blaming other guests, saying it can’t have been from that room etc etc. Then after hours of this we find out the person in the next room was THE CHEF FROM THE HOSTEL! Plus the driver of some other guests. All morning until we left the host was trying to convince us to stay (as if we could be around this man who did this to us) and when he understood we wouldn’t, he tried to make us agree that we wouldn’t leave a bad review. No action was taken at all regarding what had happened - only damage limitation. Shantanu just kept minimising the experience laughing and smiling - he even said he wanted me to forgive the chef!

    Everything here was completely overshadowed by the bad experience we had, however to be fair: the common areas, the view, the birds and the other staff were very nice.

    Food was very simple. Even my college hostel had better taste than this. And it was too much pricey. I paid 220 for simple thali. They can price the thaali meal @100₹ according to thier location.

    I liked the ambiance. Behaiviour of staff was good.
