Really great hostel / guesthouse. Perfect location - just a few minutes walk away from the busy main street which is close enough, but also far enough away to be a bit calmer and amongst the orchards. Nice sociable common area where travellers hang out. Great food service as well, you can order breakfast to your room! Brilliant views from our balcony (see pic). We had a double bedroom with ensuite and everything was v clean and comfortable, hot water shower etc. Varun was super helpful with all questions we had and tips for the area.

The most relaxed atmosphere at a hostel I’ve ever encountered. The food is amazing and the hostel is clean. It’s nice being away from all the business of India and the location for this is perfect. Very sociable too and the hostel atmosphere was really nice, there’s a nice sofa area at the end of the garden where there are two girls sat the entire day. U can talk to them if u dare…

Best place to stay for solo travelers. Common Area table is never empty. Best conversations, variety of games and good food! Cant ask for anything else. Planned to stay for 1 night, stayed for 5

Behave gud

Best vibes I found in Manali. Varun makes it a point to have a vibe everyday. Doggos in the hostel make the place feel like home! ❤️ Definitely coming again.

Neighbours kept asking everyone if they wanted to stay there which was very bothersome.

Great location, really pleasant and clean rooms, but the thing that makes this such a good place to stay are the staff. All of the people are incredibly helpful and generous with their time and advice. i travelled with my friend. The ambience of the place is great it doesn't make you want to go home. I have been to Manali 4-5 times but never got a stay at such a nice place really nice property

I cannot recommend the Hostel of Manali enough. The combination of exceptional hosts, delectable food, cozy accommodations, and an inviting atmosphere made for an unforgettable stay. Whether you're a solo traveler or in a group, this hostel will undoubtedly exceed your expectations. I look forward to returning in the future and creating more cherished memories in this beautiful and welcoming place.

Good garden space for kids to play in. Rooms were clean and view is good.

A little bit walk. Staff does send people to help you with luggage but it's a little walk from the main road.

We had a little doubt about the property since the price was a little cheap then other properties but we went with the rating. It turned out to be the best experience in Manali! Rooms are great, food is surprisingly good. Pancakes are to die for. Varun makes it a personal goal to ensure a good stay. Vibes in the common area are great.

More bonfires needed! Property does 2 bonfires a week on the house but more would be recommended. Asking since its a great way to spend an evening. :)

The property is away from the chaos. Small area construction. For the price can't complain. Hostel vibes were missing during my stay.

The property has been my go to for the last 4 years. Beautiful place for travellers with amazing views of the mountains and orchards. Varun has managed to keep it up to the same level if not better in that time.

The menu used to be a little bigger previously but the food is good regardless.

The location is perfect. it’s close enough to access the services but at distant enough to be away from the hustle bustle. The short walk down the property is beautiful. Room is spacious, bright and cozy. Food is also tasty. The people are very welcoming.

Wonderful people and atmosphere at the hostel. A place where a one night stay turns into a week or two.

Very hard to leave!

This may be the best hostel I ever stayed at. I had an immediate home-feeling. The hosts are very sweet and welcoming which ensures that there is always a good vibe around. The food at the hostel is also amazing and you can even get it delivered to your room! All of this even let me to coming back to Manali just for the hostel.

walk to the property is super awesome. it takes you through this beautiful trees and flowers. The chill out area is Uber comfy with all the quality travellers staying at orchards house.

The location was lovely and great hospitality. The food and the room were amazing.

-The property was absolutely beautiful. The garden and the hangout areas were so peaceful. I loved it. -The staff were friendly and helpful and the place had incredible atmosphere

The dorm room I stayed in was really cramped. The lockers wouldn't open so you couldn't put your stuff in them. The bathroom was dirty, and although it was a 4 person dorm, other people kept coming in and out of our room to use the bathroom- I'm guessing some of the other bathrooms were out of order? The sheets on my bed also were torn and had holes in them.

We were a couple in a two bedroom suite, so we had plenty of space which was great. We were able to switch rooms whenever we wanted. The kitchen was huge, two stoves for cooking and a large fridge as well. We cooked our whole stay there. The view from the room and the property itself was amazing!!! The shower was awesome, a lot of hot water.

There were a lot of cooking utensils in the kitchen, but they were all completely dirty, we had to wash several times and soak in soap and water. The suite is located on the third floor out of 4, and because the ceiling was wooden we constantly heard steps, knocks and voices from above both during the day and at night, the luck was that there were 2 bedrooms and we could somehow avoid them but it was not pleasant(We did not quite understand why the suite is not on the top floor if it is the most expensive and prestigious in the property). The way to get to the property is not particularly convenient, there is a cumbersome walk of about 5-6 minutes, but it was not a big deal.
