All wonderful, the place is away from civilization and you can have a really chill and relaxing time. There are some small hikes also around this beautiful area. Their food is excellent and the staff is so kind and aware of all our needs.

Dreamwoods is a beautiful place in the midst of nature quite close to dhramasala but far enough so you feel a totally different vibe. although i didn't spend a lot of time roaming around the property and sitting at the cute cafe that they have because it was offseason monsoon season, i was impressed with everything i saw. adarsh the owner and anu take care of every need and there is a real friendly and family-like atmosphere which is quite rare these days in hostels, plus they cook amazing indian food. overall a great experience and definitely recommended to those who look for something a bit different away from the hustle and bustle of dharamsala

Genuinely loved my stay here. In such a peaceful spot with the magnificent Mt The Dhauladhar Range directly in front of the dorms and terrace Perfect location if walking is no problem for you. 5-10 min walk from Bagsu 10 min walk from Dharamkot 10-15 min walk from Mcleod Ganj 20-30 min walk to the start of Triund, Gallu waterfall trek. Fantastic staff. Loved uncles smile. Really chilled out and super friendly guys. Price per night can't be beaten, value for money is an understatement. It definitely can be a social place on the terrace, but not demanded of you.

What wasn't amazing? The owners, Ishan & Ishan, do an amazing job a creating a relaxing vibe in the hostel. The views from the balcony or rooftop terrace are marvelous. All the different food we had was delicious. We went on a small expedition with the owners (real naturelovers and experts) on a unknown track and had a beautiful experience full of nature. Last but not least, the bed was really good :)

Arriving at the property under the veil of night, I was greeted by the graciousness of Ms. Sadhu, the esteemed owner of the hostel, who swiftly arranged for her dedicated employees to extend their helping hands, despite the late hour. Throughout my stay, these two gentlemen were beacons of assistance, ensuring my comfort and well-being until my departure. Nestled in an enviable location, the property boasted not only convenience but also a level of service that exceeded expectations, leaving me thoroughly impressed. My gratitude extends to the employees for their outstanding dedication and warm hospitality. Although my schedule limited my time at Vibe Hostel, I eagerly look forward to returning, knowing that a haven of exceptional service and comfort awaits my next visit.

When the monsoon rolled in unexpectedly, my husband and I were seriously considering cutting our trip short. But staying at Hostel Stories turned everything around for us. The manager was incredible... calm, reassuring, and genuinely kind. He made us feel completely at home and told us not to worry about our plans. He even let us stay and decide on the fly when we wanted to leave, never once rushing us for payment or pushing for a decision. You rarely come across hospitality this warm and honest. Honestly, that alone deserves a 10/10. The vibe is peaceful, the people are lovely, and the views of Dharamkot’s lush green hills make it a perfect retreat. Highly recommend this place, not just for the stay, but for the people who make it special. We'll definitely be back.

    We spent a few days at Thrillomania and were pleasantly surprised by the kindest of the staff. We spent some time with Rajesh who was so kind, he helped us with anything we needed help with and guided us with things to do in Dharamashala. The hostels in a great location, with a short walk into each 3 different areas of Dharamashala, which was great for us. Definitely would recommend this hostel if you’re coming to Dharamashala!

    This is the perfect hostel to stay. I fully enjoyed my time there. Big thanks for management. They were not only friendly but also caring. As a solo girl traveler, I felt very safe and like at home. The common area is very comfy and cozy, we watched movies, played games and overall had a lot of fun. The food was very tasty, and you will have enough options. The room and bed were clean and pretty well designed. You can always meet new people and make some new friends. Good people and good travelers community are there.
