• Vikram (8/5): Very good -
• Vikram (9/5): Superb -
• Anonymous (10/5): Awesome vibe, great staff, and killer rooftop view - The staff were very friendly, and the rooftop common area offered a breathtaking view—definitely a highlight. I also appreciated the accessible kitchen, which made the stay even more comfortable
• Nazre (10/5): Exceptional -
• Regina (10/5): Exceptional - The location was great, very friendly staff. The room was spacious and clean, with big balcony.
• Singh (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tony (6/5): Cheap but can probably find better for similar price - Cool view Cheap Nice travelers around Good food Room not cleaned, kitchen... No water after a certain hour (which no staff told me before the water stop) Poor wifi Lack of services like laundry Lack of some board games/cards...
• Anonymous (10/5): Joyful staff in a nicely decorated hostel - I had an amazing stay here, the staff is really friendly and helpful. The location and the rooftop are top notch to enjoy the evening. It's really close to the Dalai Lama temple too. The cook are making very good and cheap breakfast, no need to go anywhere else. I will definitely go back to Backpacker inn next time I go to McLeod ganj! Everything went well despite the weather thanks to the staff 😅
• Pratibha (10/5): Simple Comfort, Great Value - If you're a backpacker looking for an affordable and safe place to stay, this is it! I felt completely secure as a solo female traveler. Being so close to the main market is incredibly convenient. Just remember, it's a hostel, so set your expectations accordingly
• Pankaj (10/5): Exceptional -
• Khan (10/5): Satisfactory stay. - The staff was helpful at every end. The deluxe double room we booked was super clean and gave full aesthetic vibes. The location is top notch. One can see the beautiful mountains with dense green forests and clouds in between them. Overall worth every penny ♥️ The prices can be a bit lowered 😅. But it's worth the money.
• Luis (10/5): Exceptional -
• Foxy (10/5): Exceptional - Very beautiful place friendly staff & service good view from balcony 🤗
• Mark (5/5): Passable - Not the hotels fault ...but this town is best avoided in June..due to crowds of NOISY Indian tourists.
• Riji (1/5): Bad - I booked the accommodation in Doormetri, while I reached for Check in, they told accommodation is not available and arranged a room in high price, thrice the rate I booked.
• Giri (10/5): Exceptional - Very good view 🥳And peaceful environment and staf is polite
• Kirti (10/5): Exceptional -
• Gaurav (1/5): Bad - Onwer can move your bags when you are out for a trek when you have already paid for your stay. And later say there is jo room because he gave it someone else for more money. Dont risk staying here
• Shivangi (10/5): Exceptional -
• Gaurav (1/5): Bad - The staff is very professional and liars. I have paid for the room and I went for a hike, they took my bags of the room and the staff told me he thought that I wont come back from the hike so he gave me room to someone else. Imagine coming back 11 at night and you are told that you dont have a room, then he called people and got us a really dirty and shitty room somewhere else. Dont risk staying there, worst experience of my life.

• Prasant (10/5): Exceptional - Very good and helpful staff
• Aniruddha (9/5): Superb - The hostel has a great view, both the common areas and the room balcony. It was a clean simple room with a clean bathroom with hot water in shower. Good WiFi. Friendly staff. It's a bit of a hike to access the location, which can also be good exercise.
• Jana (9/5): Superb - Probably the best view you can get in Dharamshala! I had a very comfy bed and loved waking up surrounded by the mountains!
• Sahil (10/5): Exceptional - I think words would be less to share the experience I had, trip to Dharamshala was quite random actually everything happened randomly and it turned out tone one of the best experience of life. This was my first time staying in hostel and it had totally turned my views on hostel culture. From now on will try to choose hostel over hotels. The staff was amazing always ready to help and friendly too. Didn't got chance to meet Ganesh bhai but vishal took care of us in very good way.
• Preet (7/5): Good -
• Varun (7/5): Good -
• Dc (7/5): Good -
• Arpana (8/5): Overall, its a value for money place. - A very cozy place to be.. feels like home. The room was pretty clean and ventilated. The roof is amazing, one can chill and relax and enjoy the cool breeze. Basic toiletries were missing.
• Rishabh (10/5): Exceptional - The staff is super friendly and it was a comfortable stay. I highly recommend if you’re travelling solo or with friends to stay here.
• Rohit (7/5): Good -
• Amit (10/5): Exceptional -
• Chan (8/5): Good for this price. - Staff is nice, price is cheap. Good view . No water for shower for 2 days. Many stairs to get there .
• Deepak (9/5): Superb - Good service and Staff behaviour is very friendly 👍
• Aurélia (10/5): Exceptional - Great location. Staff were nice and helpfull. Great terrasse with beautiful view on mountains. The dormitory was nice with balcony. But blanket was a little smelly
• Ganesh (7/5): Good one -
• Tulip (10/5): Best Place To Stay In Dharamshala - One of the best views ever!!!!!!
• Bronte (8/5): The real deal - I really connected with the place, just what i needed. Loved the staff and the capacity to feel like I could be at home, add to the place and be apart of the art It was laid back and not pretentious, more affordable prices than anywhere else, had yum food that didn't cost heaps and bed was comfy in my single room and super cosy The veiw of my room was so good and I paid a fair price; when I go back to Mcleod I go there It's down the big stairs case so lots of walking when you forget The reception on the top creates an all in one vibe which for some people they may not like
• Liliiis (10/5): Comfy bed and hot shower - Very helpful and friendly staff. Bed was very comfy, hot shower and great terrace view. I would repeat and I highly recommend it All was great
• Alexander (8/5): Best value stay you will get. - The room was large with a balcony and seating area. Beds were comfy and there was hot water in the bathroom. The location is perfect with really great views and a rooftop to relax on. The room is dated and basic but for the price you are paying it is still a bargain!!
• Rohan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Deepali (10/5): Exceptional -
• Bharat (6/5): Pleasant -
• Shruti (7/5): Good -
• Kalhan (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing rooms and view , and a great staff behaviour.
• Skarma (10/5): Exceptional -
• Andrei (9/5): Superb - I stayed in a huge prived room on the top floor with a great view for only 750 rupees. You won't find such a price for such accommodation anywhere. Gigantic bed and very friendly staff. Thanks for the hospitality guys!
• Abhishek (10/5): Exceptional - Good
• Harsangeet (9/5): Superb -
• Samaira (8/5): Very good -
• Vanshika (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tadas (2/5): Very poor - Only thing we liked in this place was mountain view from the window No water for 4 days!!! That means no shower or toilet for 4 days. We were given one bucket of hot water and never ending promises how everything will be great Tomorrow. But Tomorrow never came. We moved to another hostel, which was the best decission.
• Praveen (10/5): These people will make you feel like family on vacation. - Its an excellent property. Everything in an around is good. The staff is very friendly, so is the owner Ganesh ji. The scenic view from the terrace is absolutely stunning. The amount of effort the staff puts to make you feel comfortable and enjoyful is great. They’ll not only provide with the rooms but also can be a great help in arranging treks, hikes, parties, etc. Absolutely worth it. No everything is good. The experience here was more than what I expected.

• Jordan (10/5): Exceptional - We came in at 430am after a night bus, and Ganesh immediately let us into the dorm for a nice nap before even bothering to check us in. The food is great and very reasonably priced and Ganesh is a good host and help with anything needed. Cheers heaps brother!
• Santosh (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lusianah (4/5): Dont book until u see the room. - Nice view from balcony. Fast internet connection. smelly room, very dirty bathroom and I even cleaned the sink so i can brush my teeth there, the floor was never swept or mopped, the trash bin always full.never empty!!!.. I felt like I was living in prison.. the owner always promise to clean and he is hiring 2 cleaner but the room didnt get clean at all... I moved to another hostel right after my stay ended. Sorry bro..i have to be honest ..if u want your business good..u need to CLEAN
• Vishal (8/5): Very good -
• Vishal (1/5): Bad -
• Bhawna (10/5): Exceptional -
• Faruki (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nina (4/5): Disappointing - The view from the balcony and rooftop was nice It was not clean. There were a lot of hairs from the previous guests in the bathroom and on the balcony. The bathroom was in general not very clean and the bedsheets had stains in them. It also didn’t smell good in the room when we arrived.
• Neha (1/5): Horrible experience - Their was no cleanliness in the room. The trash left by the people before was not cleaned. Their were no locks for the lockers therefore it was risky to leave your belongings on the room. The major drawback was the washroom. Their was hair all around. Old empty Shampoo sachets, brush etc was not trashed. Even the toilet pots were not cleaned for I don't know how long. The blankets nd bedsheets given were not cleaned. The rooms were smelly. All in all the conditions of the rooms, washrooms and bunker beds Were totally opposite to what was shown in the picture.
• Yiying (9/5): Cozy room with nice view and reasonable price. - The room is simple and with a balcony, facing a beautiful view, can see the sunrise from the room. Which is a big advantage. The facility is a little bit old but still functional. If not too caring about details, still worth staying.
• Sukhbir (10/5): Exceptional -
• Yograj (10/5): Exceptional -
• Wilson (10/5): Exceptional -
• Medrikson (10/5): It's so silent - Ganesh bro he is always there to help anyone ..he is best host ...so when u r in MC leodganj I suggest people to see the host not the room..n the view from the roof cafe is so amazing...
• Nayak (10/5): Exceptional - The view from the balcony The hospitality The food The ambience Hygiene Services There is nothing which I didn't like about that place.
• Teja (10/5): Exceptional - Management, food etc All good
• Manyata (10/5): Excellent stay - My experience was really good
