Good Stay

Great for solo travelers, found some really nice and friendly people. The host is extremely helpful. The property is a little far from the centre of auroville, so it is recommended to rent/bring vehicle instead of relying on walking. The property is located in a scenic and peaceful place, sunrise and sunsets on the terrace is amazing, and there is always something to do.

Excellent Stay

Woodpackers is always good on vibes. I've been waiting to stay at this place since 2years but finally i ticked it off my list. Would love to revisit this place if time permits. Anuj is a great host, food in cafeteria is too good. Only thing they have to improve is their hygiene, wifi connectivity inside dorms

Awesome location
