The garden is brilliant and also that the rooms are very well ventilated with a lot of windows ... The ambiance of rooms Are well thought out with the garden vibes outside..
We can order good meals from the auroville app. The host did invite me for dinner one of the times.. though I already had plans to eat out that night.
It seemed to be a bit more rule oriented than I am used to in such stay places with a common kitchen and community vibe. Two things specifically,
1) breakfast are specific limited items. As with hotels of different budget ranges I have been used to getting a buffet which is all you can eat, sometimes there may be only 2 or 3 items but it's usually all you can eat. Here I got a piece of paper telling me my options - two slices of toast and 1 cup of tea or 1 bowl of muesli or something like that. The portions felt v less, so I wasn't excited abt it much. but I don't know what was the scene in reality becaause I didn't go for any brkfast ... Mostly due to this limited quantities.. I don't like having half a meals.
2) the washing machine costs 400 INR for one use. Plus, the washing is done by staff, so we can't use it whenever we wish. So, if we have some urgency with regards getting clean clothes, it may not be possible. Moreover, I had an issue - my booking mentioned FREE washing machine.. so I raised it with the office staff and he basically said the mistake was from booking.com so he can't do anything abt it. And I have to talk to booking.com directly. I have usually met a lot more accommodative and helpful hosts especially in places with common kitchen spaces and community vibe as this place had.
Ashrams however can be quite unaccommodative sometimes, on the other hand... So I think this is due to that.

Très beau jardin, environnement calme et agréable. Emplacement pratique proche de Auroville avec accès à Pondichéry facile. Service lessive et location de scooter moto sur place: pratique
Réglage de l’eau chaude.

Love the garden, the rooms are nice and spacious, well ventilated too.
The power kept going all through the day and night. We were there during a heat wave and couldn't handle the heat outside or indoors. The air conditioner wouldn't work most times due to low voltage or a faulty stabliser. The fan wasn't over the bed in one room making it difficult to sleep or even relax in. Despite multiple complaints on the same, the owners weren't willing to fix the problem and offered an insincere apology when we were leaving. We were offered a partial refund for a room which we are yet to receive.
Disappointed as our past stays at Gaia have been delightful.

We checked out before the scheduled breakfast time. However, the staff at Gaia's Guest House arranged for bread, butter and jam for us. So it was very kind of them.
It's a bit far from Matrimandir and slightly remote with no street lights. So travelling alone after evening may not be safe.

Excellent stay in the lap of nature.
Breakfast could be better. Better make your own breakfast in the kitchen. But considering everything, no complaints.

The property is very beautiful. 10km from Pondicherry and 6 kms from Auroville, easy to find with google maps, has car parking, and scooters are also available with them for rent, it is surrounded by tree and ponds and greenery from all sides, it has many rooms, some on ground floor, first floor with terrace and suites also. If you want to enjoy nature with peace ,this is the perfect destination. It has a good kitchen which is fully functional,(you could make your own tea or coffee anytime of the day) a decent living room and dining area, it also has a verandah on the ground floor overlooking the pond with lounge chairs, excellent for rainy days. cleanliness is good, rooms are maintained and are of decent size.
1)Breakfast was basic , could have been better,

The concept behind and the details
4.5 / 5.0
This guest house exceeded my expectations. They have a big beautiful property that is maintained very well. The rooms very spacious and the outdoors are to die for. The view from the big windows in the rooms gives you a feeling of jungle stay. The gracious hostess suggested us many places in auroville to visit and to eat.
It is in the outskirts of the town.
