    Terrible place to stay. Location mentioned is totally wrong.

    rajyalakshmi i.group

    1. It is not a homestay. It is not in Auroville. 2. ⁠amenities mentioned in booking confirmation is not available except 3 beds, Geyser, AC, TV which doesn’t work. 3. ⁠hotel room has cockroaches in all sizes. 4. ⁠under construction / renovation which caused breathing problems. 5. no option to change / reduce stay though I have vacated a day early than booked. Wasted my money. 6. ⁠room do not even have a hot water kettle. 7. ⁠no drinking water is provided.

    Worst

    monupriya m.group

    One of the worst experience i ever faced in my life. So i booked a triple bedroom and called the hotel and confirmed with them and they said that they will block the room. But when we sent to check in they already have given the room to some other and giving random excuses. Totally unacceptable. After the argument they provided us a room which is still under construction and no curtains or nothing in the room just a bed that’s it. Very disappointing. Even though we paid the full price when we booked the ticket they didn’t even give a call before giving the room to others. Please guys don’t visit this guest house. There are certain rules that bachelor males are not allowed and drinking and smoking was not allowed. But guess what we saw. We saw bachelor males and we saw them smoking as well. And felt uncomfortable around them cu z they are giving out the creepy look!

    here is construction work happening, looks dusty every where, when we saw the guest house for the first time, we got disappointed. we don't have any other option. Once the room hand overed, we could see dust in the beds and bathroom. My spouse quarrel-led on the worst smell of the bathroom.

    It was nostalgic. Remembered my college days when we could go and stay at any place. Unfortunately this time i had family. Food is a problem. No service options. Goa rates applied. In general it's a one time go or never.

    Good room with average facilities

    sanjay m.loyalty-iconcouple

    The location of the property is just beside the road only. The rooms are very small and the washroom is also very small without any basin so for washing your face or brushing your teeth you have to use the bathroom. Facilities are good and they have a kitchen room to prepare your own food with refrigerator.
