    Starting with dorm, cot was not fixed well, but it was clean and have all the facilities that we need.. toilet was neat with water heater, view was amazing. Looks wise property was amazing at both day and night. Food was okay but after the trip I got stomach issues and many with me at dorm said the same thing. There is no restaurant nearby too. Poomparai town is the only option but it's off-road so you won't think to go all the way there everytime. Campfire and trekking activities conducted here which was good. Overall nice property but just it needs some changes in food quality and management.

    Not safe

    muthu r.group

    I will not recomend this to anyone.. it is too interior. 7km off road , if your going by car , definitely it will get damage. Family it's not safe , we should pay first there is no refund policy

    The property is well maintained and the location is awesome. Worst part is food here. It's crazy expensive, very spicy and bot at all tasty. There are no food options near the property within 4 kms. They are taking advantage of this. Secondly a zostel cab costs 500 bucks just to travel to poombarai which is only 4kms away. They are making more money from food and commute than stay. Not recommended for longer stays, good vibes to visit for 2-3 days.

    Amazing location with a great view. The host was very helpful and sweet. The cafe has some delicious food to offer. The voltage in the room was a little weak though. The lights kept flickering and the hot water came out of the shower for barely 3-4mins, I'm guessing the geyser is of a smaller size. These were the only downsides to the stay.

    It’s one of the best zostel stays I have been to. The crew there is amazing. Kudos to Zayn Bhai from Viggy’s Cafe - he was helpful all the while and his recommendations were amazing as well! The zostel could have more games like snooker and all since it is in a secluded place. But overall it is definitely worth it - I dont think any place else can match Zostel Poombarai’s vibe
