    Hard to get hold of the people running the guesthouse. They are quite laidback and happy to WhatsApp you, etc but don’t expect an arrival committee!

    Very quiet with nice little garden and people are quite friendly. There is a restaurant on site which is handy. They can arrange tuk tuk for you, although one time they didn’t show up. You are super close to Auroville visitors centre and matrimandir

    No coat hangers or extra floor towel ….. but quickly supplied when asked. Problem that hot water tap was right hand (random in all rooms). Staff did not give clear instructions and problem solved by another guest. Then no hot water, or other issues.

    Easy parking at Lotus Garden and Auroville. Good view of the surrounding Forrest. Friendly, helpful staff and laid back friendly international guests to meet and chat with.

    Staff never around, make it impossible to get any information (or give you wrong information as if he would be new to Auroville). Even to get toilet paper (not in the room when we arrived) was a challenge. It is a pity because with a proper management it could be a little gem. Hot water not working, in case it is important for you. Also, not so close to Matrimandir compared to other guesthouses, despite what they state. You are at the border limit of ‘Auroville village’ and will need a bike (what is great way to move around) or walk 20min++ to get to any main points of the area.

    Nice house with extensive garden. Room was decent with windows over green and quite area.

    The stuff very rarely seen at the site. But communication via wahts app worked good.

    The Guesthouse is nice and very close to everything. I was luccky to be there on a Thursday. The drum session in the evening was really nice.

    It can be maintained better. The management of the service is not very good. Dinesh Restaurant is popular. But again not well-managed. Not very clean either.

    The property is very beautiful. The beauty of the place is in its calmness and serenity. We loved our stay because of the serene location of the property.

    Though the property is inside a forest road the location is good for travellers who wanted to have peace. Property didn't have breakfast but the lunch is good. There is no TV in the room hence one can be away from the entertainment and focus on self.

    The room wasn't that good for the money I paid. The help changed our room to another room that was filled with dust and wasn't maintained well. And the breakfast that was promised while booking wasn't provided.

    The location is quite good. It's inside Auroville that is not accessible to regular visitors.

    The location is a bit off road along a muddy patch, not a very big deal, but something to be careful of when riding a bike during late hours when it's dark. There is not much lighting along the road leading to this property during night time. Since the property manager is the only person working on site, he may be away from his desk when you need him, but generally he is very helpful and supportive of guests's needs.

    The room was spacious, with a big bed and storage cabinet. Staff was friendly and supportive, and gave a good tour of all facilities during check in.

    We stayed for a week, had a comfort stay. The place is fine, very clean. The room is basic but there is space to sit inside the building and outside in the garden. The location is good, inside Auroville (which is actually both an advantage and disadvantage because many cafes in Auroville are for Aurovillians only and regular shops are a bit far; but it's great to have all what's in Auroville in walking distance).
