Very cozy house and even better location. Clean and safe for travelling alone as well. Sundari Akka and Aman made the stay even more comfortable and accomodating. Would highly recommend booking them.

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 🌺✨.

Here’s the English version in the “you” form: It’s hard to put into words how special my time with you was. From the very first moment, I felt welcomed and at home. Your place is so much more than just accommodation – it’s a magical retreat that nourishes the body, mind, and soul. Parth, you are one of the most inspiring people I have ever met. Your warmth, wisdom, and openness touched me deeply. I learned so much from you, and these experiences will stay in my heart for the rest of my life. I tried all the nature rooms and can recommend every single one of them. Especially the room with the balcony was a highlight – it’s perfect for meditation and invites you to find peace and connect with yourself. Your place captivated me so much that I stayed longer than I had planned – and I could have stayed even longer. The surroundings are simply breathtaking – perfect for finding peace, connecting with nature, and recharging. If you’re looking for a place where you can truly feel at home, I wholeheartedly recommend your place. Thank you for letting me be a part of your world. I will definitely be back! Does this match your vision?
