    Not well isolated, mosquitoes come in quite easily. Also it was unfortunately not so busy, but that’s not really the host’s fault

    Really feels like a homestay and the property is deluxe

    I wish someone could assist me in the kitchen in the early hours.

    The staff is super cordial and ready to assist any time. The bed was the way I wanted it to be, cozy... The locker was big enough to take my bag.

    The sheets on the bed were awful to start with. So I grabbed some normal cotton sheets and changed the bed myself.

    The staff were helpful and patient esp regarding the language barrier. It was a good location near shops and not too far from restaurants.

    A chilled out and great place to stay if you are a traveller and looking for a hostel without a dorm system. It's more of homely and friendly setup. The owner is genuinely nice and the hostel food is delicious. A big thumbs up.

    The location, so far away from downtown with only 2 buses. Took me 2 hours to come back during traffic jam. The roomates... They are Indian thus don't respect at all others sleep!(one hour noise at logging and at night per person!) You must remove your shoes into the entire place. No one is here to deal with you. The manager was only here to receive me and my money. Then in 2 days i saw no one here... Non professional. The place is empty and no vibes at all. This is why no respect for others. It's actually a place for Indian people only.

    The space of the room, the ac, the 'restaurant' part and small little things quiet also

    Maybe have a bit of fun games to play during free time, otherwise all good....

    The hostel is very spacious and in a peaceful location. I loved the bunglow. The staff is also very nice ,Vipul and laxman were very helpful and accomodating with any requests I had. It didn't feel like I stayed in a hostel, felt like home. The stay was very comfortable. There are single beds not bunk beds,personal cupboards,side table and each room had its own washroom which is something I really liked. Even the pricing of food is quite reasonable.

    A peaceful cozy bungalow except for Sanjay

    1. Even though it was mentioned that breakfast included I have not received it on either of 2 days I stayed at the place. On day 1, cook Sanjay was sleeping all day, not brothered to cook. On day 2, I specifically asked for breakfast at around 9.40-9.50 AM. But Sanjay said he hasn't cooked yet and now it's very late to cook and I will not get my breakfast. 2. Sanjay was very unwelcoming for couples. Even though I understand that ID is mandatory for all adults, staff need not know who the person is and what is the relationship. My partner came a day after check-in and Sanjay immediately started questioning who the person was even though I had booked the room for 2 people. This made my partner and me very uncomfortable. Also, handing over my ID , my partners ID and personal details to person like Sanjay, didnot feel like it was a private checkin as mentioned in this website. He would click a photo in in phone and he has all flexiblity to misuse it. Being narrow minded and unwelcoming to couples I would be cautious on exposing personal info to him.

    Good location. The Metro and business area of Pune is easily reachable. Nice cozy bungalow, lot of open area to relax. Very good and well behaved owner.

    There‘s nothing you can like, it‘s a shabby place, i haven‘t expected much but I got less, no blankets on dirty beds, no towel, no Nothing, couldn‘t pay by creditcard, they had no cash and never came along with the change (only 50rp, so don’t mind) they didn‘t know about offering free breakfast, not before 8am they said, so I asked for at least a coffee in the morning, what was promised, 8:20 there was still no hope for coffee so I left. Nice fellas though, but not again.
