• Mathias (10/5): Je recommande les yeux fermés - Le lieu est magnifique, les chiens sont très gentils et le couple hôte sont adorable et très disponible
• pridhvi reddy (10/5): - One of the finest stays located in the midst of Auroville, Pondicherry. I really loved spending time there with very good hosts , pleasant surrounding and big property with each unit at a good distance from one another making it more private n peaceful. Tidy bathrooms and well ventilated room with a cute sit out below . They even arranged me cab at 4am to visit a place 3 hours away and also auto to drop me at bus stop. As a regular visitor to Pondi Cosmorama would definitely be my first choice to stay and I recommend 💯.
• Sylvia (8/5): -

• Renjith (9/5): Our stay at Cosmorama was truly peaceful and refreshing — a beautiful place to slow down, relax, and connect with nature - The stay was very peaceful and the environment was absolutely beautiful. We really loved the natural surroundings and the calm atmosphere of the property. More than just a room setup, this kind of stay is something everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime. It gave us a unique and refreshing break from our busy routine and helped us truly relax and connect with nature.
• Sushant (8/5): Perfect for backpackers - The comfort and peaceful surroundings na
• P (9/5): - It was a different life experience staying in a hut and connecting with different lifestyles. If there were some more activities over there to explore it would be more great.
• Nava (7/5): -
• Kothuri (10/5): -
• Devendra (10/5): - It wasn't just a stay..it was a home... Meenakshi has been a great host...gives u all the family vibes...place is serene..raw, close to nature and beautiful... Would definitely visit again. An experience you should not miss. I travelled with son and wife, it was pretty comfortable to us.
• KISHORE (10/5): -
• S (9/5): Aesthetic and value for money hostel. - The place was such a pretty place with warm hosts. Loved the cottage style dormitories. There were lots of dogs, games, a kitchen for simple cooking and common area to chill. Overall loved the stay and the value for money. No airconditioner and the common bathroom might get busy if housefull.
• Snehali (9/5): A great place for finding peace and grounding - The location is spectacular, full of silence and nature. The vibes are toooo good. The caretaker Minakshi is a gem of a person. That I couldn't stay longer xD
• Momin (10/5): Literally feels like home away from home. - Super peaceful place and the hosts are also so sweet and fun.
• Anonymous (6/5): Pleasant -
• Mirza (6/5): It was OK kind of stay. I have had better hut experience at BOP. Many things can be improved. - The breakfast was served on time. Host Meenakshi was great help to an extent and also upon request helped with new blankets and sheets to be used as screens Hosts can pre check the facilities of the room and ensure its all clean and tidy without any bad odour. Also the huts can be more livable by adding amenities like mirror, having curtains (people still prefer privacy when changing), adding along a rope that can act for safety when climbing up and down the stair of hut.
• Sweety (8/5): Very good -
• Kala (10/5): Exceptional - The host Minakshi is such a pure soul!! She helped us with everything. She is soooo kind hearted. Never met someone like her. The rooms are great, the location is great. The place is very peaceful. One should book the place without a doubt! Highly recommend!!
• Mohammed (9/5): Superb -
• Sandra (9/5): Superb -
• Abin (10/5): I really had a great time there, the place, the people, the food and dogs. Very peacefu -
• Sheikh (8/5): Very good -
• Allison (10/5): Exceptional - Experience the serene beauty of Cosmorama Farm Stay where natural huts blend harmoniously with Auroville’s peaceful surroundings. Must not miss out the wonderful home-cooking dinners prepared by the host, yum! https://www.instagram.com/cosmorama_farm_stay?igsh=MTBtY2t3NTI5aTdk
• Kumar (9/5): Superb -
• Marie-kristin (10/5): Exceptional - Feels like family! Best place to stay. Very calm. Everyone is very helpful
• Varsha (10/5): Mesmerizing place - The first time I booked, I wasn’t sure what to expect since I’d never stayed in a hut ambiance before. But the moment we arrived, it was such a refreshing experience! The peaceful surroundings, the warmth of the place, and the hospitality of the hosts made it truly special. The dinner was absolutely delicious, and the common space had such a calming vibe—perfect for relaxing. Meenakshi baked cake for the 2 of the guests like us, surprising them for their birthday. At night, the place turned magical with clear skies for stargazing and even fireflies glowing around. ✨ The rooms were cozy, well-maintained, and the restroom was very clean, which was a big plus. Even after two months, I still think about this place like a dream. Can’t wait to go back! 😊 I have recommended it to many of my friends already. Give it a try guys!
• Hegde (10/5): Exceptional - Hospitality was great and really liked the place
• Maan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Yaswanth (8/5): Worth it - We have a nice stay. The hosts were really good and helped us to get rental bikes too. The place is so calm and peaceful. The only drawback I would say is that the location is really far from the white town
• Sidharth (9/5): Superb -
• Eugenio (8/5): Simple but cozy hostel that makes you feel like family - They place is very calm during the day, and allows you to relax and do your own activities, whether this are working, reading, meditating, etc… They provided mosquito nets over the dorm bed. The staff was very nice and welcoming and made sure I had everything I may need. They cook their own food and you can eat it with them. On top of that, when they don’t cook, they offer to order and pick up food from outside for their guests. A nearby temple that had been inaugurated recently was broadcasting loud announcements or chanting multiple times during the day and even at night. That didn’t make my sleep enjoyable.
• Jed (10/5): Exceptional - A great vibe with amazing staff that are happy to help in any way, food is great and the farm is so quiet!
• Sambhavna (8/5): Very good -
• Rao (10/5): Great stay, wanna go back again - It was everything we wanted. Staying in a hut that is so clean and friendly host who guided us through it all was amazing. It was a very different and beautiful experience
• Sandhya (7/5): Good -
• Saravanan (10/5): Had a great stay! The hosts, Minakshi and Ameen, made the experience even better -
• Agrim (9/5): Superb -
• Alex (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ilaria (10/5): Come in una fiaba - The host is nice, available and very helpful in any situation. The Place is comfortable and clean. We stayed like at home! Nothing
• Umesh (10/5): Exceptional -
• Avril (8/5): Very good - the room was a very cool upstairs hut like camping, but comfortable, very nice and helpful owner, cute dogs, can rent a scooter.
• Sharma (10/5): Exceptional - The property is amazing, how they design it's really good. host were very welcoming. I had a good time there.
• Mohan (6/5): Different experiences - Natural Very silent
• Sanjay (10/5): Exceptional - The stay was very peaceful and the staffs were very friendly❤️
• Mira (10/5): Exceptional - The property and the huts are just beautiful. There's such a peaceful atmosphere, the perfect place to get away from the hustle. There's a few lovely cafe's nearby and the surrounding area has a lot of nature. The hosts are just exceptional, a warm and welcoming young couple. They went out their way to make us feel accommodated and provided us with tips of places to visit. Staying here really was a great addition to our trip. We're so grateful to have come across Cosmorama.
• Vivek (10/5): Simply amazing - The hospitality of the hosts. And the peaceful area. The creativity of the hut's infrastructure is amazing. The washrooms were very clean. It's a little difficult to get food during the night, but Zomato delivers from a few restaurants
• Busa (10/5): truly memorable and beautiful - It was just a serene experience being on the property; everything is so beautiful there, even the property owners. One can be at peace and in love with the place for sure. The hospitality and the aesthetics, comfort of the place is super amazing. I guess one wants to spend more time in the bathroom than in the room(lol). Nothing as such that is not like-able.
• Yash (8/5): Very good -
• Thenna (9/5): Superb -
• Rahul (9/5): Superb - Liked the location. Though it's pretty far, it's worth the stay. Quiet and serene. The tables and chairs under the hut could have been better.. Since it was uncomfortable to sit and cannot keep plates and glass on the table.
• Manavalan (9/5): Superb - Home like feel throughout th stay. Peaceful and tidy place for a perfect hideout! Lovely dogs companions are added positives :)
• Mafren (10/5): wonderful host ,peaceful ambience a must visit place if your looking to take a break and relax.. -
• Ankur (10/5): A humble stay to explore and experience all that Auroville has to offer! - It’s a beautiful property being run by warm hosts. The cottages are a marvel and offer good comfort. All hangouts in and around Auroville are easily accessible from the property. Moreover, staying in this place is an experience in itself, particularly, the mesmerising view of the night sky. The hosts are quite open and willing to go out of their way in making your stay pleasurable. So, if you find yourself in need of anything, do not hesitate to ask!
• Vignesh (10/5): Serene hut stay - This is a beautiful hut stay. The owner is very professional. Hospitality was great. There's fan and lights fitted inside the hut. It is naturally cool inside. There are 2 bathrooms which are shared by all the guests. This place is quite new and the bathrooms were clean. The Google location was wrong but the owner shared the location later. Food is available in the nearby market but cleanliness is an issue in most shops.
• Mojo (10/5): It's was a wonderful experience - Ambience Common Restroom
• Sai (9/5): My Cosmorama farm stay experience - Hospitality (Minakshi): ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Minakshi’s warm and attentive hospitality left a lasting impression. Her kind treatment enhanced the overall experience. Location: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The peaceful surroundings contributed to a serene stay. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the tranquility. If you plan to go out and return, aim to be back before 6:00 PM or 6:30 PM due to the dark road. Cleanliness : ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Neat washrooms ensured comfort and hygiene during stay. Improvement Areas: Insect Control: ⭐⭐ While Cosmorama’s hut-style concept is charming, addressing insect issues would enhance guest satisfaction. Ventilation (Fan): ⭐⭐ The humidity challenge might explain ventilation concerns. Ensuring proper fan functionality is essential.
• K (9/5): Superb - We had an incredible stay! The hosts were exceptionally welcoming and went above and beyond to make sure we felt right at home. They were always available to offer helpful tips and local recommendations, which made our trip even more enjoyable. The accommodation cozy. Thank you so much for making our visit so memorable! We can't wait to return.

• R (10/5): Exceptional -
• V (9/5): The property was so good...Hut was so nice ....a different stay and very gud place to spend.. - A peaceful hut stay away from city life Proper pathway should be planned
• Radhakrishnan (9/5): Superb - A very cute, comfortable place . Felt so at home away from home
• Shajahan (10/5): To wake up to the birds and the lovely dogs, have slow morning making your cup of coffee and read, do my sketches, loved - The sustainable and into the nature lifestyle. The sun touched mornings and evenings. A big land with cute huts with lots of positive energy. The friendly and fun Minakshi and Ameen. The cute dogs Foxy and Reddo. The sounds of birds which i wake up to. And the best, the open shower under the stars. Honestly there is nothing I can complain about. Being in a place like Auroville, this is the vibe I want to be. Maybe not everybody’s cup of tea, for me I loved it.
• Roos (10/5): Exceptional - The place is very open and dreamy, and I had an amazing stay! The hosts are so kind, and really made me feel at home. I was afraid that the nights were gonna be very warm (it was 35 degrees Celsius during day time when I visited), but the breeze cools down the huts surprisingly to a very pleasant temperature. Both the kitchen and bathrooms are well constructed and clean.
• Karthik (10/5): Excellent ❤️ - I have traveled and stayed in many places but i just spended a day in here and this property is awesome.. this is one of the unique stay experiences i had . The staffs were too good and they literally have 24 hours front tesk .. I went almost around 2 Am but they welcomed me with a smile .. when u almost travelled half of india u dont expect people to be tired welcoming u .. as i like to say first impression is best impression ❤️ i will suggest u guys to stay there for atleast 2 or 3 days to get the real feel of the day ... i sure im coming back soon❤️
• Varsha (10/5): Exceptional - The stay was really wonderful. The hosts were sweet and helpful. Meenakshi was really a great host and helped us to plan out our itinerary as well. She even suggested places and restaurants that we could explore . We would highly recommend Cosmorama to anyone looking for a unique experience.
