Hibernest Chembra - Backpacker Hostel in Kunnampetta - Wayanad, India

They take in the booking and then say that all rooms are booked and ask us to cancel it on our end. There is no option of cancelling it on the website and the amount doesn't get refunded. Fraudsters.

Booking got done but room wasn't given. No refund as well.

Marvelous place! I stayed here for two nights while motorcycling my way across the country. The backpacker hostel is located in a quiet place with stunning hills for a backdrop. Bunk beds, pillows, blankets, and sheets are clean and comfortable. Bunks have lights and charger points as well as curtain separators. Rooms have an attached bath, lockers, and a good amount of space that helps with unpacking/packing. The property has a number of spots inside and outside where one can sit and read or mingle with other travelers. Used the kitchen as well, which is always great to have. Don't miss the beautiful flowers and the sunset behind the hill. Do bring mosquito repellent and some basic food supplies with you if you do not have a way to get around.

If you want to have a frugal yet neat stay then this place is highly recommended. It is about 10kms away from the chembra peak and it would work out well if you had your own transportation arrangments. Wayanad can be explored by staying here. There are 3 rooms with rack beds which are extremely comfortable. There is a kitchen with cuttlery which travellers can use and is best if you make use of it while there. The food can also be ordered but is a little on the expensive side. Overall great place if you are a group of 4 or above people.

The path from the gate to entrance is quite bad for a car as it is basically gravel and is very steep. This led to the car literally burning some rubber trying to get traction to climb up the path. The room is pretty nice with 4 huge bunk beds along with lockers with keys for 4 people to store important stuff. The bathroom is big and has a geyser for hot water but the sink is in a common area outside the room. The top beds of the bunk beds were quite dirty and the sheets had to replaced after we arrived. Although they were dirty initially, the beds themselves were quite nice with those huge pillows. There is a common kitchen along with a fridge available and it is needed because there is no food available in a radius of 1km from the place, so don't forget to bring some ready to eat stuff for breakfast and other meals. The mornings are peaceful but they don't have an amazing view to look at.

I slept like a baby: matress & pillow are so comfortable... It's a quiet place with a nice host, and if you need anything, the owner respond you directly with a great english. Hot water & free drinking water are pros. Only bad point, wifi is not working very well..

The dorm is located in a small village Kunnampetta, a very beautiful and serene place in the midst of nature and plantations. This place also offers a scenic view of Chembra peak. There small temple nearby, where I used to sit and read after exhaustive treks. Dorms, Kitchen & Bathrooms are neat and we'll maintained. The care taker of the property, Mr Sandeep, is very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this accommodation to the travellers who likes to stay in a silent & peaceful place away from city.

A nice, economic home stay with clean rooms, bunked beds, open kitchen and clean hygenic toilets. The place also offers mesmerisong view of the chembra peak. It is a bit outskirt by its location but that peovides tranquil and serene atmosphere. Has a hammock to lay down and spent the lazy afternoons
