Reviews of Zostel Rinchenpong (Pelling)

Beutiful location, nice staff, clean rooms and very affordable

I had a comfortable dorm room to myself. There's a good choice for dinner, important as it's a longish walk into town. Staff is lovely, and the bonfire at night made for a nice social gathering spot.

Waking up to the breathtaking view of Kanchenjunga in the morning was an unforgettable experience! The staff were very friendly and helpful. Overall, it was an exceptional stay!

The road condition from Ravangla to Rinchenpong was quite rough, which made the journey a bit taxing. Also I wish there was a lift from the room to the outhouse/kitchen, as climbing up that hill was quite a task!

Location,staff and view..good bonfire and nice chill vibes

The view.

1. No cleaning of the room. 2. No person at the counter 70% of the time 3. Bathroom ventilation does not close which caused me to get a fever and a very bad cold during my trip 4. Our room was just below attic room so we couldn't sleep as there was too much noise all the time. The owner angela also did not do anything after we told her the issue. 5. Location of the zostel very far from Rinchenpong or pelling town 6. No proper heating in the room. A very small and inaffective heater provided on demand. 7. No wifi or electricity backup provided in such a huge fare. 8. When we reached ( during afternoon) there was no electricity or electricity backup, making us take baths during the night and I fell extremely sick which ruined my trip. 9. The food order took 1-2 hours to complete 10. No heat in the common rooms either. No cleanliness. Both common rooms open making it really cold.

Everything! I cannot mention a single thing that I did not like about the property. Super super comfortable beds, spacious and airy dorms, hot drinking water available all the time. Amazing staff, every single one of them, Anu, Sahil, Lawrence, Binay and especially Chef! I'm an avid traveller, and I haven't come across such amazing, sweetheart of a staff! And the view from the rooms and the outpost near the space is to die for, the entire Sleeping Buddha will be visible on a clear day. And if you're an animal person, you'll have the time of your life with Charlie the catto and Hobo the doggo! Honestly, I can go on and on and on about how great my stay has been at this place, it became home for me for the 6-7nights I stayed. And I'm definitely coming back every single year now!

Zilch! There was absolutely absolutely nothing that I did not like!

A lovely, new hostel with all the conveniences, an attentive, friendly staff and a good cook, Zostel is about 2.5 km outside town, so if late you'll need to take a taxi. The dorm was spacious with good window curtains to block out early sunrise, and the bed cover was cosy. The food was tasty, but breakfast was a bit pricey.

If you're coming from the north, it would be helpful to have information about how to arrive My query was answered only by a standard text that didn't answer my question.

this is a cozy getaway for anyone looking to kickback and relax. visited in November and it was pleasantly cold.

No WiFi!! this is a major drawback for any zostel. Also, buy a new carrom board.

Everything is great about this property, Angela and the staff are such nice people! The food, vibe, everything was amazing. They even told us about some great secret local stops around which became the best part of the trip.

Staff and Location.

Nothing as such.

Food, Location, staff

No wifi

My friends and I had a great time here. It was so chill and the staff and owners were really nice and friendly. Even the food was great!! Those chilly potato were to die for!!! Also if lucky, you get to see Kanchenjunga from here as well. Thank you so much for everything. 💜✨

The location is great. Its a new property, so fairly clean. The balcony is great, as I stayed in a solo room and not the share dorm.

The staff are fairly young and not managed by anyone. As such at times the property has not someone specific to attend to guests. Needs someone with experience to manage the people. At times groups of guests were loud through the night, which wasnt something I was looking for at a secluded spot.

The food is very tasty.

The food and the staff, simply amazing

Stayed for 2 nights, spent the entire second night without electricity. In addition to that, there are way too many bugs in the room. Location is isolated as well.
