Stunning building, very friendly staff and tasty breakfast.

Not worth mentioning

The hostel is very spacious, clean. Staff is large, involved and there's a great atmosphere created by them. It's a good place for volunteers, as well! I'm not a volunteer, I am actually a digital nomad and I am very glad everyone was understanding that. 😁

Favourite hostel in India! Huge, historic property and Dani was the best - he helped us with everything we needed.

The hostel was really nice and so clean! Everyone is very friendly and really helpful when planning activities/transport. Very sociable with places to relax and meet other travellers. The breakfast was also so tasty! Would recommend staying at Dutch Square to everyone coming to Alleppey.

By far the best hostel I’ve stayed at in India! The rooms are absolutely huge, everywhere was spotlessly clean, breakfast was lovely, the common areas are stunning, the rescue kittens are adorable, the staff are amazing and it really feels like a family away from home! Honestly could not recommend enough

The location was good, everyone working at the property was very nice and helpful, they were able to assist with booking tours and gave great local recommendations.

Big old ancestral home converted into a hostel. Loved the interiors and the fact that house managed to retain its old world charm. Our host and the property manager, Danish, was helpful throughout- helped in arranging for the bike, recommended local hang out spots, where to buy spices and of course, the 'secret beach'. The in-house breakfast which was usually a local kerala delicacy was absolutely delicious- especially more so after the morning swim. Loved lounging in all the nooks and corners of the house and chatting with the other travellers staying on property.

Nothing

Breakfast was delicious, the staff is amazing, the location is perfect (walking distance to restaurants and also to the beach), the converted bungalow is GORGEOUS, the common area makes it easy to make friends. One of the best hostels I've been in. I'll be back!!

If there’s any downside it might be the location, as without tuk tuk or scooter it’s hard to get anywhere from the hostel. But the manager makes it super easy to rent a scooter and it’s also just a vibe to chill in the common area and garden of the hostel.

Hostel in a beautiful house/villa with very nice and welcoming staff that helps out with organizing all kinds of things and makes sure the guests have a nice stay. It almost gives the vibe of staying in a big family’s house compared to other rather impersonal hostels.

Slightly out of the way of things to do in middle of summer (when walking a lot is very hot) & kitchen slightly messy. But I’m being picky there, overall if these are big things to you then spend a lot more on a hotel or houseboat in Aleppey etc

Great hostel vibe and friendly hostel staff made it a great experience to stay here. Nice little things like being able to use fridge, book swap, free water, help with excursions and lot of common areas with fans was a real plus. Dorms very spacious and clean, AC rooms great in particular.

Dutch Square Hostel is an absolutely stunning property. The interior makes you feel like you’ve entered a home not a hostel. It’s managed by amazing people who make each guest feel welcome. The rooms are comfortable, clean and spacious. The breakfast is included which is a bonus and it’s delicious! I ended up staying 2 weeks after staying just booking 1 night initially. After that I also returned. Highly recommend this place. You will get to experience real life in Alleppey.

Unique and clean with retro and vintage vibes. The space reverberates with its history and past. The private rooms are spacious, lush and characteristic. Dorms are well l t, airy and clean. Amazing space for backpackers and couples to socialise and anchor while at Alleppey.

I couldn't think of anything that I didn't like.

Such a wonderful host They go above and beyond to help. Took me to backwater and then for lunch. The host is a kind person, who paid for the meal as well.

The property itself was a stunning building and grounds, alongside that Dutch was the most lovely, hilarious and welcoming host. We had such a great time bbq’s dinners the lot. I’d love to return one day :)

If you are outside mosquitos can irritate you.

Service, people,rooms and ambience was amazing.it was like a home. Like many of others I also extended my stay by 1 day. I wish to visit Alleppey to stay at this place only.

Best hostel I ever stayed in. The vibe of the place the morning breakfast Spacious rooms That old house vibes That greenery Everything was beyond my expectations Best for solo travellers .

Stayed in January 2025

Nothing in particular. Other reviews indicated mosquitos are around, they are. It’s not the properties fault.

Beautiful old home which has a great host in Danish and his team. Warm and welcoming throughout with lots of laughter. Breakfast each morning is to be looked forward and the experience of staying was lovely. I would gladly recommend this to family and friends. I stayed in a non AC Dorm and in the absence of high humidity in early February it was a comfortable nights sleep.

Nothing really to be honest
