    Property location is good, in front of the river. The cafe of the property is on riverside. Dorms were clean. But, the property didn't seem to give a hostel vibe. It was more of like a homestay

    Hii Akangsha Sharma, Thank you for your kind feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed your stay overall. As mentioned, our property is located about 20 minutes from the main Kasol market in an offbeat riverside location, which offers peace and natural beauty away from the crowd. We’ll surely keep working on improving facilities to make your experience even better. Regards, Team Wabi Sabi Hostel.

    The stay here at Wabi Sabi was great with all the amenities. It is by the river which makes it even more beautiful. It has a cafe as well called Wabi Sabi Cafe which has great food. Totally recommended for affordable and fun stay.

    Great location, tasty food, bit unclean

    pranav m.group

    We stayed here as a group of 5 for 1 night. The property has a good riverside location and tasty, fairly priced food. The cleanliness of the room and attached washroom could have been a little bit better. The bedsheets were not changed for us after the previous guests. Floor was dirty/muddy. Filter water was not clean and had food particles or something like that floating in it.

    "Wabi Sabi redefined Kasol for us" We were a group of 8 adults travelling to Kasol for the first time. If we hadn't found Wabi Sabi, we wouldn't be taking back the true soul of Kasol. Micky bhai was being the warmest host, by making sure we were getting the best vibes that we could carry back. He also runs a cafe beside the hostel with the best food and has the most beautiful view of the river. Next time you are in Kasol, check-in to Wabi Sabi for a full experience!

    Worst Experience Ever. We booked the stay thinking it was reachable by vehicle because there was no mention of it not being reachable by car and you to walk 2 kms on not so safe road woth all your luggage and they don't even send any assistance to help with luggage or anything.
