Zostel Vagamon

Zostel Vagamon is a backpackers’ hostel nestled in the soothing green meadows of Vagamon, a small hill-town in Kerala, India. Based in a scarcely explored region, it is a travellers’ gateway to Nature in its purest form, away from the tourists and city life.

Untrustworthy Manager/Staff

Reviewed By Shaky_Moon

1) Property Manager: let me start with the property manager. a) Gender Bais b) Language Bais c) He sleeps in 8 bed guest's mixed dorm (if zostel website says a bed in 8 bed mixed dorm, it's only in system, actual status is 7 bed) d) He shouts at his staff in front of guests. It's not a fair work culture e) Drinking alcohol infront of guests 2) Staff: Untrained staff a) Nobody knows how to speak with guests b) Nobody wants wears mask/Sanitizer c) When water gets over, Nobody refills it irrespective asking it d) basic hospitality/services will not be met. 3) FOOD: As Vagamon remotely located, food is the basic need a) We ordered a food at 8PM, and got it at 12pm b) Morning breakfast/tea will not be available. They say no breakfast today without intimation (Thanks to Winter vale) c) It takes minimum 1.5hrs, even to serve tea/Maggi d) As food is a basic need, this is unexpectable e) They organized buffet, and cost was 500Rs. Trust me, it didn't even deserve 150rs. Felt like they trying to recover Covid-19 impact through food! APART FROM SERVICE RELATED ISSUES, VAGAMON PROPERTY IS ONE OF THE BEST ZOSTEL PROPERTY WITH REGARD TO INFRASTRUCTURE, LOCATION, IN-HOUSE GAMING ETC.... ALL IT NEEDS IS, A MANAGER TO ENSURE SMOOTH RUNNING OF BUSINESS/SERVICE.

Awful business

Reviewed By bramhubbell

We made a reservation here and had a family emergency. I canceled the reservation five days in advance, and they refused to refund the payment. They even had the nerve to tell me to “consider the situation from their perspective” without even acknowledging my family emergency. What an awful business.

Small homestay property, great location, limited food and activity options

Mixed Emotions

Reviewed By ben j

I used to book wind valley resort for last several years. the reason behind is rooms where neat. but had a very bad experience during last visit. we ordered food from the restaurant and found a very big insect inside the food(Cooked Well). argued with them for at least 1 hour to reduce the price for that curry which we ordered along with other foods. after that experienced very bad behavior from the staff over there..no more wind valley....saying bye bye to them.

Avoid!

Reviewed By IshanKaushik

We booked this hotel online where it was listed as an Oyo property. When we reached the given address in Munnar, we had to spend about an hour looking for this place as the Oyo sign was not written anywhere & we didn't know that the actual name of the place is Karthika Residency. We were given rooms no 403 & 404. Firstly, the walls were dirty & paint coming off. Bedsheets & pillow covers were all yellowish & dirty. In the bathroom of 403, the faucet didn't work while the basin tap was leaking in 404. We somehow managed to stay the first night. The next morning we asked the manager to cancel our second night's reservation but he offered us different rooms which though better than the previous rooms were still not good at the given price

Marottickal Homestay

Excellent homestay

Reviewed By aathishgopan

Marottickal homestay is very near to Ramakkalmedu and easily accessible through public transport.The rooms are very neat and clean. It was a wonderful experience here with my friends. The main attraction was the unlimited food they provide at reasonable cost. Facility for campfire and DJ are also available here. I give full marks for their service. I haven't experienced such a good service from any other homestays. Chetan and chechi were so friendly and caring. They also provide jeep safari packages at reasonable cost and the driver Binu chetan was so friendly with us and explained well about all the places we visited. I strongly recommend you this homestay once you are visiting Ramakkalmedu.
