    nice and clean property but food not allowed in a room was problematic

    sonam v.couple

    Stay was sweet and clean, property was amazing, pool very clean. But the problem is, I stayed with my partner in a private room so they should atleast let people bring food or snacks in room. Not everyone is comfortable eating outside at their open area with so many insects and worm like animals crawling here and there.

    Poor Stay

    vishal c.business

    Not worth 11k for one night in sea view room. The sea view was blocked partially with hut made in front of the sea. No other facility and no complimentary breakfast. It’s a good hostel for probably choosing a dormitory room. The staffs were cordial but the facilities were not up to the mark.

    The stay is very good. Location was beautiful. Easy access to the beach. The private room with sea view was so amazing and calming. The lounge/working room with Wi-Fi & games was awesome. Even the cafeteria with food and beverages was good. The host and reception was good and helpful in accommodating us and helping out with recommendations in and around the city. Overall it was an amazing experience.

    Had a wonderful stay at this hostel. The interiors are minimalist yet very aesthetic, exactly like the photos. The space feels calm, cozy, and thoughtfully designed. Staff was polite and helpful, and the atmosphere was perfect for both relaxing and meeting other travelers. Great value for money—would definitely recommend to anyone visiting here.

    subash b.solo

    Property was very well maintained and had a good and helpful reception staff. The lounge and common areas were excellent adding to the vibe. The only thing was considering it’s a backpacking community hostel, there were more people travelling in groups of 3 or more which kills the vibe as the interaction and the solo travelling experience goes for a toss a bit!

    Here’s a refined version of your review that keeps your voice while polishing the flow and clarity: --- I had been looking forward to staying at this property and it absolutely did not disappoint. The serene, tranquil environment was exactly what I needed. No unnecessary music or forced entertainment, just pure calm. The property itself was spotless and felt truly premium. One small suggestion: I noticed that while the cleaners changed the bed sheets and pillow covers after guests checked out, the quilt covers weren’t replaced. It would be great if those could be changed as well for added hygiene and comfort. Overall, my experience was fantastic. No disturbances, a well-mannered crowd, and the best part it’s located right on the beach. I couldn’t have asked for a better stay
