As said, party hostel and loud music until late in the night when other people were in bed. Some hostels have this vibe, so it's not a criticism - just be mindful when you book you may have some disrupted sleep. Also, there are several dogs at the property. All fine with me, but I did hear them barking loudly at other guests

Incredibly spacious private room in hostel. Really well thought out shared spaces, with a friendly and welcoming vibe from all. Location is so-so - a bit of a walk into town, but closer to other bits. Did have a great sleep the second night, as it wasn't so loud, but bare in mind it seems to be a party hostel.

Music goes on for a while in the evening. The location is a bit out of the way from the town centre, however it is closer to other sights.

Great for getting to know other solo travellers around a campfire. Staff provide train timetables and advise on local activities. The option of female only dormitories was great.

The staff are very welcoming. They were always helping us out with everything and they were taking care of us like family. The dormitory 6 beds is spacious, the room has a locker. The shower works great. There is fast wifi on the fridge! The location is great, the garden is nice, they also have a firepit and lovely dogs and a injured squirrel. There is a fly catcher, so they will CATCH THEM ALL They have a lovely bar with huge speakers!! The party is like a crazy nightclub. It stops till the last person gives up, after that you can go to sleep.

Rooms were not the cleanest

Nice hostel to meet others!

Stayed in February 2024

Bathroom was not very clean and blankets too thin for the cold nights. You can get a second blanket if you ask. Music rather loud up to midnight. They do not organize tours to Horton Plains.

It's not a party hostel but they have enough space inside and outside to sit together, chat, play and drink a beer. Nice breakfast you can select individually and yummy family dinner. Nice hikes possible from the hostel. They have 4 dogs:)

Kitchen cleanliness, pets entering the kitchen and the common spaces.

The dinner arrangements and the recommendation to explore the palce.

Cons - Thicker duvets needed as it was quite cold and you only get a blanket. All the guests had gone to bed and at midnight the owner and his friends started blasting music. It wasn’t modern/new, it was ‘lived in’. Dogs are harmless but they ferociously bark at you so if you’re scared of dogs I wouldn’t stay here.

Pros - HOT water

Stayed in January 2024

dogs frequenting in the kitchen and eating the leftovers from the cooking wares kept for cleaning. General hygiene due to 3-4 dogs staying in the hostel.

veg home food Nice and friendly owner the atmosphere in the hostel

music was heard from rooms but we went to be early

We stayed at this hostel in a private pink room for 1 night. We had alternative plans but the atmosphere of the hostel seemed like lots of fun, sit chat, have a drink and play with the dogs sounds perfect. We wanted a coffee in the morning it did take about 30+ mins to arrive which felt like an eternity waiting for my morning coffee. The bathroom was abit damp but so are most places we have stayed

Anytime I spoke with the hosts, they seemed a bit distanced in interacting with me. Because it is a very social hostel, then there is always a lot going on and not always super clean, but it did not bother me. My bed was badly located in a room with the windows towards the sun, so I woke super early with sun in my eyes (could have used curtains)

A hostel with nice atmosphere, WARM SHOWERS and free, filtered water! That is cool. The rooms were quite nice.

Nothing, everything was good for the price. The only suggestion would be to get some curtains or blinds for the room.

We stayed in a private double room with en-suite bathroom. - friendly and helpful staff - dogs in house (6 of them - beware if you don’t like dogs) - great layout and atmosphere (party scene at night) - comfortable bed - great shower with good temperature and water pressure - nice food both dinner and breakfast

Ants and mosquitos in room. Regarding washing situation while travelling it is a downside is that sitting outside your clothes get full of dog hair. I was unlucky with family dinner. First night I ate earlier and second time I was the only one signing up, which was sad not only because of social aspect but also because I was looking forward to once being able to serve myself while traveling but couldn't and was a little pricey for that (compared to other hosts food and local food shops).

Relaxed vibe. In off season apparently not too much party, but still easy to socialize, which I liked. Everyone coming there seemed to be interested in connecting. Room just spacious enough for luggage, big bathroom for each dorm. Use of kitchen and free water. Big hugs to the dogs, there are so cute and cuddly, directly felt like home!

personal supi! cooler vibe, loved it a lot!!!

It’s a bit of a walk to the town but there was a shop close by for snacks.

The hostel is very social and the rice and curry dinners were good. The room is clean and a nice hot shower. It was great that I could refill water for free so I didn’t need to buy plastic bottles.

Stayed in October 2023

The room I was in was not the great. A lot of humidity and there is not a real option to dry your things when they get wet or humid, which they will. This would be the main inconvenience of the hostel, something they could definitely upgrade

The hostel has an amazing vibe going on. Staff is really kind and helpful, the common area is just very cosy and homie looking, great to meet people and chill. The common areas are very comfortable, the breakfast has many options and is not expensive.

Stayed in October 2023

The dorm and the bath were super mold and not really clean. The room smelled pretty bad, had to sleep with an open window (was cold)

Nice hostel vibes, good place to hang out and meet some people. Also a lot if group activities in the hostel

Stayed in October 2023

It's not necessarily bad if you intend to drink booze and listen to music late into the night. Evening activities invariably involve drinking games and the culture at the hostel is similar to being back at university. If you prefer a more quiet relaxed stay maybe stay somewhere else.

Very relaxed hosts, good food, friendly and helpful staff, perfect if you want nights of party, music and drinking. Hosts are good at giving advice about the local area and making you feel welcome. Rooms are what you get for the price - beds are comfy.

Five big dogs . Little far from. Main city .

The vibe is very vibrant and lively . Perfect place for young solo travellers. Met a lot of friends. There are activities games etc . Walking distance from eater falls ..

Stayed in September 2023

big downside is one of the rooms which is really humid, moist and moldy. no chance to get your things dry and everything will be moist and smelly after a couple of hours. this is only one room though. rest is really comfortable

so nice people and awesome vibe. probably the best hostel I ever stayed in. there will be family lunch each evening (for 1000 rupies per person) and games and talking afterwards.

Met some great people for my short stay

The breakfast wasn’t too great for their prices and some guests may not be comfortable with the music playing till night. There are dogs who always come barking ferociously at you when you enter but keep in mind that they are trained ‘not to bite’ but just bark so if you keep that in mind, you’ll be rest assured that the dogs will only bark at you only while entering. Once you’re in, they’re the most docile and loving set of dogs.

Very social hostel with extremely friendly staff. The owner was also very helpful. The setting of the main table is such that everyone can sit and converse with each other. Lovely music playing up until midnight which I personally enjoyed. Truly felt at home.

Stayed in September 2023

We stayed in the private room. It stank of damp, there were no curtains on the windows, the shower curtain was covered in mould and looked like it had never been changed, and we found a cockroach on the floor. Also we were there on a Saturday night and the music didn’t stop until well after 2:30am.

The staff working there were really friendly and chatty and made us dinner the first night even though we got there really late. There was a great atmosphere and buzz about the place.
