The Truth About HostelExp in Auroville… (From Someone Who Stayed Over a Week) I booked HostelExp for just one night but ended up staying over a week. It’s one of those places that’s easy to settle into—comfortable, quiet, and thoughtfully run 🌿🛖. The yoga shala was a real highlight 🌳🧘♂️. It’s clean, peaceful, and felt like a great place to start each day. The whole property is well-maintained, and you can tell there’s real care behind the scenes. Everything from the rooms to the common spaces had a calm, intentional vibe 🍃. What I appreciated most was the balance between community and personal space 🍂🪷. There were always friendly people around, but it never felt busy or overwhelming. I could join in or take time for myself, and both felt equally supported. Nitish was really helpful before I even arrived, sending clear directions and making the whole process simple 🛤️. Once I got there, he made sure I felt welcome. Lucky, who helps take care of the space, was kind and friendly too 🌼🙂. For what’s offered, the price is very fair 🍀. If you’re heading to Auroville and looking for a quiet, conscious place to stay, HostelExp is a great choice. I’d definitely come back 🌺✨.

Probably one of the best hostel experiences I’ve had so far. Coming here feels like coming to a home. The owner is just an absolutely incredible person who will make sure you have the best stay depending on your desires and he will be able to help you with pretty much anything! He brought me coffee every morning and was continuously making sure I was having a good time.
I was there during my birthday and I couldn’t have felt more taken care of. The owner had bought a beautiful cake and made the other guests come sing for me together with himself and his family, as well as having a birthday dinner at a restaurant together with everyone in the evening. A friend of him who was also staying at the hostel cooked an amazing lunch for us. Can’t even describe how grateful I was for all the celebrations and him being so considerate!
The location is great, near the main streets as well as the ferry. Facilities are new and fresh with nice A/C in the rooms. Comfy bed and pillows. Nice kitchen and common area and it has a rooftop where one can do yoga, meditate, dance (there’s a speaker even), or just chill with other people in the couches.
The owner also knows all the best tips and tricks around the area, as well as of Kerala, and will be happy to share! He even helped me figure out my continuing travels over the phone after I had left the hostel! Very happy I came here.

A really really cute hostel, with lovely architecture! Rooms and beds were really comfy, and the AC was incredible! Great location for tourist needs, good food nearby, and a cheap Uber to the palace etc. Space to sit outside and in the common area, as well as having great kitchen facilities and dining area! The security guard on 24/hrs made us feel super safe and was also a great character, always willing to chat and hang out with us despite not knowing much english, he was a great laugh and asset to the place!
The best hostel I’ve stayed at throughout my whole trip of India. Had originally booked two nights, and ended up staying a week- if I had the time I would’ve stayed for a month! Great location, super helpful and friendly owners, and a really comfortable feeling The around the place. Highly recommend. Plus the hostel has recently adopted a couple of adorable puppies!
The staff is amazing. Friendly, talkative and really helpful. There is a great atmosphere. The dorm for 8 people was quite comfy. Very tasty and quite cheap meals in a hostel restaurant. Great location if you want to be near very calm beach. There are available some board games, hammock... in general, very chill atmosphere. Thanks!
A surprisingly good hostel for all the international backpackers. A simple but spacious dormitory room, a breathtaking view from the rooftop. The location is calm, compared to other nearby hostels.
Possibly one of the best hostel I have been so far in India. I was in a 6 bed dorm with air condition and the room was very spacious. Toilet was also big and very clean. Very cheap laundry and you can rent bikes to go around or kayaks. The view from the hostel is beautiful and you can observe fisherman nearby every morning. The host can provide with dinner and lunch since around the hostel there is not much. Munroe Island itself is super quiet and very relaxing so if you are looking for many activities this might be not your place.
The best hostel for solo backpackers
Good location, good staffs. When I reached to the hostel, they wanted to suggest me another option of the lower bunk bed in another mix dormitory(Ⅰbooked 1 Lady dorm but already occupied lower bunk beds). More over, after arguing with other inns, when I was suddenly told that I wanted to come back here, I was warmly welcomed immediately.
