Do not trust the 9.4 rating or the pictures on Booking.com. The photos are completely misleading, and the property itsel

2.0

Nothing. The experience did not match the expectations set by the listing.

I booked this property expecting an experience that matched its 9.4 rating on Booking.com, but I was severely disappointed. The reality is completely different from what is advertised. The photos online are highly deceptive, and the actual condition of the place is neither well-maintained nor clean. As a solo traveler, finding a reliable, comfortable place is a priority, and this property failed on all fronts. It is absolutely not worth the money being charged, and it is baffling how it maintains such a high rating on the platform. Save your money and look elsewhere.

Good stay, friendly and helpful property owners.

8.0

The double room was comfortable and the property was easily accessible. The owners were very friendly and good hosts, even though they were unable to be physically present. They ensured all amenities were available even during their absence.

Property has only 1 parking slot, but perhaps more vehicles can be parked on the nearby roads and alleyways.

Great place with great views from the terrace, comfortable rooms, and super friendly & helpful host!

9.0

Host (Anil) was very responsive and attentive, always making sure my stay was comfortable. He also gave me several recommendations on places to visit and eat it in the area.

Would've been great if chai/coffee and simple breakfast was available since the hostel is a little isolated and there aren't any food options immediately outside the hostel.
