Zostel Plus Wayanad - Backpacker Hostel in Kottappadi part - Wayanad, India

Very beautiful and the best homestay we stayed till now . It has an amazing view all around it . people who come with group of friends can enjoy all kinds of activities there and even it provides a very good ambience to solo trip person. The rooms were neat and people were nice. Although we request you to have a seperate smoking area because that was only thing which bothered us little except that everything else was good.

We had a lot of expectations from this stay because the other Zostel properties we've been to have been so well maintained and the staff very friendly too. But Zostel plus Wayanad really disappointed us in so many things! We booked the female dormitory for 3 days but left after the first day itself because we just didn't feel like it was worth staying there any longer. - The common areas were unclean and the left overs from the previous night was all over the place. - The dorm was relatively neat but the washroom was super tiny and nothing like shown in pictures. It was really inconvenient to step in and out of the washroom because the closet was right by the door. Also unlike other Zostels, they didn't provide any toiletries. - The cafe at the food was average, and only provided North Indian cuisine plus just regular toast and eggs. Also the coffee was just terrible and tasted nothing like coffee. - The worst thing about the whole place is the unruly cafe staff. Although we are allowed to have outside food in the outdoor common areas of the property, the cafe staff told us we are not supposed to do so and asked us to dispose the food which we eventually ended up doing because despite repeatedly having asked they just didn't allow us to and told us that we can only have food which is ordered from the cafe and not any other food from outside. I mean it's just food, no sane person would ever ask you to dispose FOOD! We even told them that it's just once and we never knew that we couldn't bring in food from outside but they were super arrogant and told us we can't. - There are no fans or AC and the pedestal fan has no plug point nearby to which it can be plugged into and it defeats the whole purpose of keeping it there in the first place. And wayanad isn't as cold as it used to be earlier that one can sleep with no fan or AC. - The pool was not functional and extremely dirty. Overall the only good thing about the place is the location and the puppies that live on the property. Everything else was just trash. Would never recommend this place to anyone at all.

Great hostel with a beautiful outside area! Stuff is very friendly. Good place to stay if you want to hike Chembra Peak. The hostel also organizes many activities. Well, one thing I didn't like it's the food in the hostel. For the high prices, the food is not worth it, unfortunately.

Zostel plus Wayanad really disappointed. Food was not at all worthy. Many of the food which were in the menu was not available. We heard so many No's from the cafe. And only North Indian food was available at the cafe. South Indian people have to go to the town to get their choice food which is 20 minutes away from the property. Otherwise we have to depend on auto rickshaw people to deliver the food. Cafe is not operational between 3pm to 6pm. So to get a tea in the evening all have to wait till 6pm. People will be coming and going in different timings, and also going for trekking and cycling happens in between morning 5am - 7am, everyone prefers a tea or coffee during that time. So cafe should be operational 18hrs. In short, zostel cafe is not supportive. Menu and restaurant timings need to be displayed in the zostel website. Also there should be provision to order through online. Ambience was good. Cleanliness also well maintained. Would add richness if a host/DJ can be kept for the evening get together on weekends.

To hangout its a very nice place. Morning and nights views from the zostel just awesome. To visit chembra peak. Zostel is good stay. Good: Nature Multiple places are there to hangout. Camp fire Music Cafe Service.

Amazing location nestling in the foggy hills. Need to have own vehicle to properly explore the place. Decent food and stay. Warm, helpful people. Very near to Chembra peak. I suggest you booking an advanced stay for the day you plan for the Chembra trek. Must visit community for adult backpackers. Chembra trek. Wild animals could be spotted around. Do not roam around without a group of people. Always ask the reception before leaving after dusk.

The location, food and vibe is simply awesome and I had a wonderful stay... But i didn't like the rude and bitter behaviour of Shivangi (front desk girl). She should definitely apply for the post of a strict warden for college hostels. Being in the hospitality business, where working people come to enjoy their vacation, she should know how to speak politely. Prince, on the other hand, was very warm and welcoming. I absolutely loved everything about the place except Shivangi's rudeness because of which I am not giving it a 5 star rating.
