Nice hostel located in Auroville and surrounded by nature. Perfect for meeting new people. I liked the creativity area, the smoking area, the fire camp, the yoga rooftop and the shared kitchen.

The property exudes a unique charm, and I truly appreciate the warm and engaging way they interact with their guests. The concept of self-cooking paired with a community dinner adds a delightful and welcoming touch.

Location is amazing! Inside forest but not too far from cafes and main tourist spots. Loved cycling around tree covered roads and birds chirping. Hostel is very spacious with hammocks around hanging on trees.It's very peaceful.Rooms are cozy and clean.Met some cool people there and got to practice yoga with them :). You can easily find your tribe here. Staffs are very helpful. Nitish is the guy for anything you need. Very polite, friendly and helpful! They also provide food for very low price which is prepared by a local cook. She makes amazing south Indian food which I personally loved. There's also community dinner at night where you can show off your culinary skills. Had a really good time there. Would love to come back again!

As a businessman constantly juggling responsibilities, I was looking for a peaceful retreat in Auroville where I could unwind and reconnect with myself. On a friend’s recommendation, I chose HostelExp Auroville, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The atmosphere here is incredibly serene, surrounded by lush greenery that instantly soothes the mind. The treehouse accommodations are a unique highlight, offering a perfect mix of comfort and nature. I particularly loved the dedicated yoga space—it’s an excellent spot to start the day with mindfulness and relaxation. What truly stood out was the sense of community. I’ve made some great friends during my stay, and the warmth of the people here has made this experience even more special. Whether you’re looking to recharge or just connect with like-minded individuals, HostelExp Auroville is an ideal choice. I highly recommend this place to anyone seeking a peaceful yet enriching stay in Auroville. It’s more than just a hostel—it’s a haven for the soul.

New Exp property just built in Auroville. Such a nice place. Enjoy the peace here. Perfect for animal lovers who like to pet dogs too. The dorms and washrooms are big enough. There are a lot of space outside if you wanna chill. Better if you have a bike to roam around because of course its a bit isolated, around 1km from auroville road.
