    Hobbit House in Rishikesh is nothing short of a magical retreat! Surrounded by stunning waterfalls, serene streams, and majestic mountains, this cozy place offers the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation. The unique hobbit-style architecture makes it so charming and inviting. What truly sets this place apart is the exceptional property manager, Om. His warmth and hospitality made us feel right at home. Om is incredibly knowledgeable about the area, always ready with great recommendations for local hikes and hidden gems. His passion for making every guest's stay special shines through in everything he does. If you're looking for a peaceful escape in nature, look no further than Hobbit House—it's a slice of paradise that you won’t want to leave! Highly recommended! 🌿💧🏞️

    The host is really nice and helpful. It felt like home, food was homely. People were nice. To be honest it was my best stay in rishikesh. It has something in that place that made me feel peaceful. This gateway was required, looking forward to visiting again.

    The hot water is a bit temperamental

    It felt like coming into the living room of a share house, everyone was welcoming and I felt like meeting old friends. The food and chai were delicious and the staff were helpful, the best sleep I had in India so far. The location is peaceful, close to waterfalls away from the busy streets.

    The hostel was excellent, particularly due to the polite and welcoming behavior of the staff. It also provides a wonderful opportunity to meet and interact with other travelers. The only minor issue is its location, as it’s situated on a small hilltop, requiring about a 1-kilometer walk from the main road. However, this shouldn’t be a significant inconvenience, especially considering it’s one of the best budget-friendly options available

    The property is located just far enough from the crowded streets and close enough to listen to the flow of the stream which flows near it. Couldn’t ask for a better place to meet some like minded travellers and share experiences.

    Nah. I can't,nothing to say for real.

    The stay was really good, really really affordable, The location is quite peaceful. More than the stay, The people. I came for a weekend to chill the f out, and i thought i would be roaming around in rishikesh. But guess what the hostel itself was a heaven type thing dude,room / bed was comfy, washroom were clean, & great great common area,BONFIRE was good uff and the songs. The continuous water flowing sideways gave me the calm chills,, secret waterfall nearby, the in house cafe / kitchen for whatever you wanna eat. Loved the vibe. Met some peeps, good friends now lol. Great experience overall!

    Nothing as such.

    The property is quite nice in a secluded place, serene environment. There’s a waterfall nearby so you can hear the sound of waterfall all the time which is quite peaceful. Devyanshu and Om handle the guests and property quite well and they’re friendly as well so you’ll never feel that you’re alone.

    Nestled away from the hustle and bustle of Tapovan, this hostel is well worth the climb and features open views of the nearby mountains with a beautiful river running by setting a very lush vibe. The staff at the hostel are all super friendly and helpful, and they have created a comfortable and friendly environment in which guests can socialize at ease. The dorm i stayed in was clean, well organized, and featured all the functioning amenities one can expect. Finally, the food and drink at the hostel are top notch and fairly priced. Overall, if you’re looking for a genuine hostel experience or would like to see a quieter side of Rishikesh while still having all the sites near at hand, this is the place to go!
