I stayed at Hostyard for three nights and truly enjoyed the hospitality. Each and every staff member was kind and supportive. The team made sure to arrange whatever was needed whenever possible. The food was good, and the limited options actually made it simpler and more pleasant. The location is in very scenic spot and the best spot to enjoy the hostel is from the backyard

The Truth About HostelExp in Auroville… (From Someone Who Stayed Over a Week) I booked HostelExp for just one night but ended up staying over a week. It’s one of those places that’s easy to settle into—comfortable, quiet, and thoughtfully run 🌿🛖. The yoga shala was a real highlight 🌳🧘‍♂️. It’s clean, peaceful, and felt like a great place to start each day. The whole property is well-maintained, and you can tell there’s real care behind the scenes. Everything from the rooms to the common spaces had a calm, intentional vibe 🍃. What I appreciated most was the balance between community and personal space 🍂🪷. There were always friendly people around, but it never felt busy or overwhelming. I could join in or take time for myself, and both felt equally supported. Nitish was really helpful before I even arrived, sending clear directions and making the whole process simple 🛤️. Once I got there, he made sure I felt welcome. Lucky, who helps take care of the space, was kind and friendly too 🌼🙂. For what’s offered, the price is very fair 🍀. If you’re heading to Auroville and looking for a quiet, conscious place to stay, HostelExp is a great choice. I’d definitely come back 🌺✨.

Everything was amazing. The hosts were super welcoming and hospitable. You can rent vehicles directly from the hostel, there are several plug points in the hostel, there is a functioning kitchen for those who prefer to cook their own meals, the rooms are clean,etc. I personally found the hostel safe as a solo traveller.

Broad Lands was fantastic, clean, and had charming colonial architecture. Its location made visiting key attractions easy. A tip for future visitors: use the Metro from the airport. We found it much cheaper and more convenient on our return trip. I highly recommend this hostel for its cleanliness, charm, and convenience.

The location was stunning, with the property right on the beach. The cafeteria was good and budget-friendly. The entire staff was very helpful and friendly. The overall vibe of the Zostel was excellent—safe and relaxing. I’d definitely visit again.

Great hostel run by super friendly staff, the rooms and bathrooms are clean, the common area is perfect for chilling and socializing, and they serve homemade meals for a very good price. The location is good and it was easy to find with the staff's directions, lots of food options nearby, and it's right next to the Little Mount metro station. The only down side for me is that it was a bit pricey for my budget, but I really enjoyed my stay ;)

Big hostal in Auroville and great location near first entry point. Staff there all the time ready to help or advise points of interest.So much space in common areas with lots of lounging beds on various floors and games to play.Some activities planned for some evenings.Small kitchen area with drinking water available. Dorm beds with curtains,charger and light.All clean linen. Definitely worth a visit at such a good cheap price.

The Hosteller is located in a great location to explore Fort Kochi. The dorm was clean and comfortable, with excellent AC which was much needed. The rooftop area was a nice space to relax in.
