One of the most scenic Zostel locations.

10.0

The location is amazing and worth the travel. The sunrise from the community area was amazing. You do not have to worry about food as the kitchen serves some of the best food I have had at a Zostel to-date.

The road to Zostel is awful. But, that is not the properties fault. In my opinion, it is worth the travel.

Decent hostel with great views !

8.0

The View from the rooms !! It has one of the best sunrise view from the rooms . The staff try their best to entertain the guest with some local sightseeing (with a cost though , which is expensive)

The path to the Hostel from Poombarai is horrible, There is no Public transport to get here. One has to hire a car (preferably a 4 wheel drive because of the potholes) I hope the roads get ready in the coming months. The lighting in the room is quite dim., With the power fluctuation, it gets worse. The food is average and there are no restaurant options nearby. The seating at the breakfast section is uncomfortable as it is too low.

10/10 for stay and cleanliness. 0/10 for food and hospitality

6.0

Location was exceptional. Place was clean.

Food tasted the worst worst ever had, though it was over priced. Even after mentioning about how I want my food to taste and be made when I ordered, I received the same way they cooked previously. When asked, one of the restaurant staff arrogantly said "this is how they make it" and cannot be canceled or changed. We have no other option other than having food here as To reach local shops and restaurants, we must drive almost 3kms off-roading to Poombarai where you get authentic tasty local food and other stuffs.
