Second, I was totally sharmed with the every evening music which we did with locals and guests. It was super amazing!!!🎼🎹🎧🎤🎸🎺🎷🥁I did change my doormatory room with 6 person to the private room because of different needs of bodies. Black body want cold fan + AC, my white body looking for warm, really warm conditions. That's why if you same as me - try to book a private room immediately. Private room was on the first floor - during the night you can enjoy with singing tropical birds, and real (not AC!) fresh air from windows.🦅🦉🦇🐦 Everywhere a moscito nets on the windows so is good. Although this place not belong to AV, the location is quite good, very close to main points of AV like Solar Kitchen, like Dinesh resto - so you can find it - in the forest in the night (!!!) - quite easily. 👍 Stuff (Babitta Ojas and Parit (this names I can spell not correct) are super helpful and friendly - they will offer to you bikes and other transportation they have, they order a taxi to Chennai for me. Sooo, quite nice guys! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰Price for rooms are super reasonable and even this guys gave me 10% discount for private room because I stayed one week there - what make me sooo happy because I was to this moment at the end of my trip - this loyalty was important for me. And a size of hostel and outside kitchen - all is clean and beautiful as in old colonial houses. Everywhere marble and beautiful pictures - sooo also artistic enough as I like. It is create a beautiful atmosphere around you. So, I can recommend this hostel for individuals and couples (because it is private rooms exist). See you in the future guys....hug all the hearts of you. Elena. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
