Cottages are really great. They give authentic hampi ambience. They also have some cool and friendly pets. They get along really well. Location wise also it has some good spots nearby for sunset and other activities. Overall an amazing experience. Totally worth for money.

Only thing I didn't like is that they don't have dedicated room service even for private rooms(not dorms). There was a bottle broken in my room and I reminded them number of times to clean it up. For my entire 2 days of stay those broken glass pieces were in my room. Also no one came to change the bed sheets. These are some services people expect without even asking. So atleast for private rooms they should have room service for cleaning and maintenance every day.

The location is just amazing. Right next to the mountains. One can just climb and watch the sunset or sunrise everyday. All the staff members make you feel like a family ( I am not just saying that) Vikrant Srikant Krishna Payal ….you guys are doing a great job. I literally felt sad while leaving. The food is reaaalllly good here too. I tried so many dishes and none of them disappointed me. The owner and his entire family is very kind. They helped me with my EV charging without hesitating even for a second. They are animal lovers…so the place is no short of a zoo(Trust me…they have various animals at their property). This actually makes the place and it’s environment very friendly, loving and enjoyable. I am already dreaming about going there again…haha.

The wifi connectivity was very poor. Please improve on that.

We had a private room with aircon which was extremely comfortable. The room was clean, the bathroom could have been a tad cleaner (was still wet all over the floor when we arrived). It’s a beautiful location filled with lots of animals and plenty of other travellers. There’s options to hire bikes or have a tuktuk driver for the day to take you around all the Hampi tourists spots and see all the temples and ruins (we did the Tuktuk and it cost 1800 rupees for the whole day). Our favourite thing, which isn’t advertised at the hostel is the sunset boat ride at the lake around the corner (go outside and ask one of the tuktuk driver to take you, we paid 300 rupees each but can haggle).

You must bring PLENTY of cash to the hostel, they don’t take card and there’s no ATM for miles. We wish we had known this before coming as we had a real issue trying to pay for our dinner. It’s an eco friendly hostel so you must be okay with animals and wildlife (dogs all over the hostel, which we loved, and a lot of lizards and bugs that you may find in your room, didn’t love as much). The staff at the front desk weren’t overly friendly but by no means rude.

The location is a peaceful retreat, far from the hustle and bustle of Hampi, surrounded by rocky landscapes and open fields. The space is spacious, clean, and beautifully designed, offering a relaxing yet lively atmosphere. The cafe offers a variety of activities throughout the day, ensuring there's always something to do if you're not working. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and will definitely be returning. Hoping they build a pool because that would be the cherry on the cake!

I would have liked a variety in the cafe's playlist as they offer a QR code to choose from, good initiative though.

Property is beautiful and has lots of animals making the stay just perfect. Food is really good and the staff is super friendly and helpful. Had a great time interacting with Sam, Shrikant and Tinku. The property felt safe as a female solo traveller.

Since its pretty inside, a shuttle service to sangapur would be great as travellers are paying minimum Rs 150 for rickshaw which becomes expensive for solo travellers. There can also be a bit more activities for fellow solo travellers to bond.

Spacious room. And large toilet. You won't have to fight for space if you have multiple luggages in the family room. Restaurant (Goan corner) was surprisingly good! Aglio Olio mmmm. Pizzas too! No gst levied if you pay for the food in cash, so bring enough if you wanna save money

There was not enough places to hang our towels. Behind the toilet door and another rack in the toilet. Would be great if there were hooks in the room - makes it faster to dry! Water pressure. I had to bucket shower cos the shower head was dismal. It is far from the main hampi sites but we still went back and forth four times a day. You get used to the drive. It's pleasant enough.

The location is very apt. The food is amazing.. The host is courteous and very accommodating, my spl thanks to the entire team. Spl Jacky for the night walk he arranged, Anadndita for keeping the stay lively by planning events, every day had some activities planned which made the stay memorable... And the serving boys to keep up the smile all day long and serve us tasty food... Spl thanks to Sharmila aunty and the chef for making yummy foods... In short a memorable stay ... Worth every penny.

Nothing specific. Just the commute the roads to the property needs to be sorted but again that is something they are working on... Rest all good...

The staff was good and helpful. There was a very friendly atmosphere. We had a good time chatting with people and also got very good recommendations for places to visit. There are a lot of animals so if you are a pet lover, you will enjoy it.

There were issues of water supply, electricity and in the rooms, sunlight was not very properly blocked by curtains. Also, maybe not an issue for many people, but just fyi.. Lot of dogs and cats also mean lots of shedding.

The location, albeit far from Hampi town, is great, surrounded by a rocky landscape. We stayed in the mud cottage, the room was spacious and clean.They have a lot of beautiful dogs, ducks, a parrot and cats on the property - always a plus! The food was decent, there was a lot of variety on the menu. The place is run by an incredible woman, absolute badass! What a joy it was to chat with her!

Beautiful scenic place to stay with paddy fields on the way. The hosts are welcoming people, friendly staff and lot of cute in house pets. Mud cottages are in a valley kind of area and are well kept. It was a good stay.

Since the area is in interiors (around 10km from Hampi but village traffic makes it 45-50min drive), there is no access to public transport, no tuk-tuks readily available. The ones in house have drivers who only speak kannada, and will not make an effort to understand what you communicate.
