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!

Get the chance to witness a township that is a world of its own, create memories for a lifetime.

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.

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!

Dharmakanni Tropical Huts

AMAGICAL PLACE! ???

Reviewed By Veronicamiami

Dharmakanni tropical huts is a place very well located just steps away from Auroville beach. It is a hidden paradise where the traveler can sleep in a beautiful treehut while enjoying the night breeze coming from the sea, listening the enchanting sound of the ocean waves as well as the birds singing. One can also take a rest in a hammock or get lost in the exquisite decoration of its gardens. I would say that the whole place is a piece of art, a beautiful demonstration of human creativity. It was also amazing to enjoy a wonderful meal along to other travelers around the bonfire. Carmelo, the artist behind the decoration and a great European cook  is a fountain of perpetual artistic ideas not just related to the beautiful ambience in the place, but also in the fashion area. I spend also a precious time with the owner's wife who is a very sweet lady from Malaysia living in Germany. I was DELIGHTED with the experience. It was beyond my imagination! I recommend this place very much!

Crowded beach

Reviewed By Kristine_dancer

The only reason to stay there is if you want to surf or swim in the sea. Swimming on your own in the sea may be dangerous unless you booked a professional swimcoach such as Auroswim. All in all, I expected a bit quieter atmosphere.

Refreshing Private Family experience

Reviewed By muralivasu

Disclaimer : This is run by a friend. It is not easy to find a easy relaxed space in Tamilnadu. Outside the city of Pondicherry on the Tamilnadu side of the border, in the edge of the Auroville forest, Inn Pondiville is a great family getaway. We found the swimming pool to be a highlight. Almost private, clean and well maintained one can spend hours in the pool. We did all meals in an outside canopy. Breakfast is the typical Tamil spread freshly cooked everyday. One of the secrets in this place is to ask the staff to cook off menu for yourself. Ensure they make the local food, local fish, chicken. A highlight in Kara Kozhambu, spicy with lots of garlic, it is a delight with rice. A nice and clean beach is 5 mins drive, there is plent of cheap booze which one can drink in private. Wifi is spotty - but didnt bother us at all. Ask Pravina for good recommendations around the area. If you have your own bicycle, then Auroville can be delight. Excellent value for money, we are bound to go back for long weekend. Enjoy this place
