    Quiet location with the guest house set in a beautiful garden & yet only a short way to the local shops etc. A warm welcome extended by Gaia the owner extended to the helpful staff. The rooms communal areas and a pristine clean kitchen were maintained to a high standard. A delicious breakfast served every day & I enjoyed cooking in the clean kitchen!!. A pleasurable 3 week stay. No hesitation in returning on a future visit to Auroville.

    Breakfast is great and is included however you need to be organised food wise as it is a 30 min walk - you can order food in.

    This is a garden haven - a magical wonderland away from the bustle of Pondicherry

    i hoped for some fresh fruits for breakfast, but this is whining on a high level. ;-)

    Wow, the garden is beeeeaaaautiful!! as well as the whole accommodation. The communal area (living room, veranda or rooftop) invites to chill, read or do some yoga/meditation. The rooms are big, bright with many windows, clean and super comfortable. The bathroom provides hot shower. The bed is extremely comfortable. And the staff is super friendly - i would come back. :)

    Nothing

    Set in such a peaceful location and within easy reach of Pondicherry centre and Auroville. Accommodation set in beautiful grounds full of wildlife. A brilliant team of hosts - house-keepers and reception staff. I was genuinely sad to leave, loved my stay here

    The staff was helpful but there is room improvement. I would have liked more communicative staff in the reception room. There is so much about the property that they can tell. I would have liked more communicative staff in the accommodation who can ask us our requirements and provide it.

    Breakfast was up to the mark. The property was beautiful. The owners have put their hear in it. The architecture and the garden are outstanding. It's a very peaceful and relaxing and one can just stay in the property and enjoy the ambience. It must be the one of the best properties in Auroville.

    Parking for personal 4 wheelers is a bit tacky. Mine was a weekday stay .. still had to maneuver tight spots. Wonder how it’ll be on the weekends.

    A lovely lodging surrounded by serene gardens, perfect to relax with a cup of tea and read your book. The whole atmosphere is very calming and peaceful, perfect to recharge. The room was exceptionally clean. My room came with the private terrace, which was an added bonus. You definitely need to arrange some mode of transport to get around, though it’s a 15 min walk to the Auroville road, where you can find all the shops/ cafes.

    Beautiful garden vibes...

    It seemed to be a bit more rule oriented than I am used to in such stay places with a common kitchen and community vibe. Two things specifically, 1) breakfast are specific limited items. As with hotels of different budget ranges I have been used to getting a buffet which is all you can eat, sometimes there may be only 2 or 3 items but it's usually all you can eat. Here I got a piece of paper telling me my options - two slices of toast and 1 cup of tea or 1 bowl of muesli or something like that. The portions felt v less, so I wasn't excited abt it much. but I don't know what was the scene in reality becaause I didn't go for any brkfast ... Mostly due to this limited quantities.. I don't like having half a meals. 2) the washing machine costs 400 INR for one use. Plus, the washing is done by staff, so we can't use it whenever we wish. So, if we have some urgency with regards getting clean clothes, it may not be possible. Moreover, I had an issue - my booking mentioned FREE washing machine.. so I raised it with the office staff and he basically said the mistake was from booking.com so he can't do anything abt it. And I have to talk to booking.com directly. I have usually met a lot more accommodative and helpful hosts especially in places with common kitchen spaces and community vibe as this place had. Ashrams however can be quite unaccommodative sometimes, on the other hand... So I think this is due to that.

    The garden is brilliant and also that the rooms are very well ventilated with a lot of windows ... The ambiance of rooms Are well thought out with the garden vibes outside.. We can order good meals from the auroville app. The host did invite me for dinner one of the times.. though I already had plans to eat out that night.
