    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.

    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!

    Best place to stay in Kasol, period !

    anirjeet b.loyalty-iconcouple

    Absolutely the best place to stayover when you're in Kasol. This Hostel is on the other side of the river bank, is around 20 mins of walking from Kasol Market (Cab is always available) through a beautiful and enjoyable road amidst Pine trees which makes the location perfect. The Hostel is located exactly on the river side and has an absolutely beautiful view. Go there, Visit Wabi Sabi, stay over, enjoy the serenity of the place and the river sound, enjoy the beautiful landscape view from the balcony and enjoy the freedom of being yourself. The accommodations are decent enough for you to stay over and survive 12 months of the year. Food is good, a bit expensive but good. You will get multiple cafes in front of Wabi Sabi so you will never run out of options.

    Disappointed

    nilesh p.loyalty-icongroup

    Hotel Wabi Sabi, Kasol – Disappointing Experience I recently stayed at Hotel Wabi Sabi, Kasol, and unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. The room service was terrible, with no staff available when needed. Basic necessities like toiletries were missing, which is unacceptable for any hotel. Despite the promising location and ambiance, the lack of proper service significantly impacted our stay. I hope the management takes immediate action to improve their services, ensuring future guests do not face the same inconvenience. Definitely not recommended unless improvements are made.
