Great place

Reviewed By MrTravellerG

Second time we've stayed here. Very friendly staff, very tranquil and relaxing place. Great swimming pool. Breakfast is a bit basic, and usually only Indian breakfast of idly's etc. It's also in a great area just outside Auroville itself and about 15 minutes by tuk-tuk to Pondicherry. There's even a cash point now pretty much next door, when there never used to be, plenty of places to eat and Jeffi - the best place to eat in the whole area - is only a few doors down. Great value for money.

Green's Guesthouse

The green colored guesthouse is wonderful; centrally located, distance close to the main road and walking distance the visitor center and Matri Mandir in Auroville. The rooms are very clean in good condition. The staff is very friendly and the kitchen served special healthy yogi-like vegetarian food-almost gluten-free and vegan - yummy!

Powerless in Pondicherry

Reviewed By annesI7154JZ

The garden was lovely and the room spacious. Unfortunately the power went out at night and the generator had run out of fuel. No fan, no a/c. It would have been bearable in winter but in May it was terrible. The hotel was not very apologetic. They were more concerned with our registration docs, which they messed up.

Sharnga Guest House

Sharnga Guest House is located in Sharnga community, one of the 150 settlements in Auroville. Sharnga community was started by Claude and Bernard on a barren land in 1976, first as a farm then as a stud farm having up to 40 horses. In 1992, when it was time to evolve and change once again, the horse sheds were transformed into rooms to welcome new comers into Auroville and guests as a co project of Bernard and Sigrid. Slowly Sharnga Guest House grew into a full-fledged Guest House it is today. The farm also grew into a residential community with each new resident their own work and activity. Sharnga is a “forest” guest house under big trees and in the middle of a lush, green, natural garden. Birds, butterflies, fish, horses, dogs, bugs, also share this environment with us humans. As most animals and insects are shy and seasonal one does not always see or meet them, but if you are quiet and lucky, you might be privileged enough to meet one or more of our co-habitants.

Must go just for serenity - poor customer service, facilities

Reviewed By ruparajgo

I spent 2 nights in Sharnga and this is my honest review. The place is far from the city and in a remote location. It is close to Auroville Main Road and Matrimandir but commute is not easy unless you have a car or comfortable riding a cycle. Knowing the route is a must! Maps misguide you. There is no way to book a cab or auto. The staff in the guest house also are not that helpful. The place looks green and serene - can be exciting for someone who wants a foresty ambience, can be overwhelming for someone who is not used to such an ambience. The guest house rooms are cosy, comfortable and have a good vibe. Breakfast served is decent. No lunch or dinner options. Only black tea and coffee and a kettle available in the common area. If you need more, you have to make arrangements. Swiggy delivery available but may charge extra. Cons There is only one person managing the administrative tasks. The two people managing are helpful and attend to your requests but overall maintenance is an issue. The bathrooms are not that well maintained. There are transparent windows in the rooms and there is always the fear of someone peeking in. Hot water takes some time to come. My room lock wasnt working properly and I had to shuttle between rooms till that was fixed Repeated follow ups had to be done and even when they said it got fixed, it wasnt - there is no attention to detail Random people switch off mains and geyser and you are left wondering if it is a power cut or something wrong The place gets really dark after 6 pm and it is so desolate that you will feel as if you are the only one in the guest house (if you are a solo traveller) The owners are rude and indifferent to some and super friendly to others There is no guidance, assistance Overall the people arent that welcoming, the place has a great vibe though You will be okay if you are super independent and can manage things on your own Also note this is not a resort or a party friendly place!

A very bad experience !

Reviewed By Sherpa563201

we had a detestable experience for two reasons. The management has no concern for the quality of the accommodation or the welcome (when we arrived he spoke to us without looking up from his computer). We always must claim to have a minimum of service. The second reason is cleanliness and hygiene which are very low. Under the pretext "that we are in Auroville" nobody pays attention to you and especially not the director. We had an insect invasion (I took pictures) the answer was : you are in India !

They have a small kitchen within the campus which provides simple but good food. Very beautiful and serene place. Courteous staff, close to visitors centre. Overall, amazing experience and looking forward for my next visit !! Thank you so much.

Amazing, quit place. The family who runs it is extremely nice

Amazing quiet place. Located in a small Forrest. The family who runs the place is extremely nice and helpful, helped us with a bike, transformation and much more. Breakfast is served there, and a bike is usually available for rent so it saves the hussle of finding a rental place.

Ours is the six room boutique resort in calm and quiet atmosphere still it is of the ECR Road and very near to the city. Tariff is very much offerdable with the comforts of the three star hotels.

Bad place to stay if you intend to relax

Reviewed By Avid02traveler

The resort is good looking on the outside but has many many flaws on the inside, Pros- Excellent exteriors and Interiors Secluded spot ideal for a getaway with friends Staff who are very mindful of your privacy Cons- AC not working Frequent powercuts below average cleanliness Shortage of service staff What they lack for the existing staff make up for in attitude and willingness to help. Our bathroom door wouldn't lock and if it did it would get jammed, the staff helped us with it but it was on the whole unnecessary. The place needs more staff and better maintenance
