- Fazil (10/5): Exceptional -

- Bhoomi (4/5): Not satisfied - The owner was nice but had multiple restrictions. We were not allowed to wear our footwear inside the room, we were not allowed to eat comfortably there were insects in the room. We paid 3.8k for 1 night and yet no water bottles or tea/coffee and dental kit were provided in the room. The cupboard was locked and kept as a show piece. His pet kept running on the terrace which made us stay up all night. Music was played really loud unnecessarily. Breakfast was also not included in the amount.
I would rate the overall stay as 2/5 as it was not worth the money
- Karan (10/5): Exceptional - Krieve, (Hostel Manager) and Fransisca has taken very well care of me. They provided Hospitality with their Love and affection with full of emotions.
