This place has the maximum freedom. A very peaceful environment. The breakfast I got from them was very tasty and excellent. The advice I got from the manager was very useful for me about the trip. The elephant safari he organized for a very low price was excellent and Ranjith and his family are very reliable people. I can trust them 100%. A very clean accommodation. I wish them all the best and hope that their business will improve day by day. Thank you very much again.

Loved this hostel! The family is so kind, they took us to a festival and it was lovely! Had a great time at this hostel. It’s close to the supermarket and the easy to walk from the bus stop :)

The family there is very friendly and helpful. But the problem is mosquitoes. There should be a mosquito screen in the windows or something. Cold water.
