This is a very unique experience where you go to be with nature and to contribute to a way of life based on understanding yourself and your surroundings. This is not a hostel, is a place that gives you the space to think, learn and reflect.

The host was kind and welcoming, but I unfortunately fell ill so I had to leave early. It is a peaceful environment - unfortunately, there weren't any guests staying at the hostel during the one night I was there. I didn't get a chance to attend the yoga class or eat the food, but it seemed great.

Fairoze is a wonderful host, and the location is conveniently close to the host and Jungle Beach. The timetable is flexible, allowing you to immerse yourself in the local culture while enjoying plenty of free time to explore the area. I had a great time with Fairoze and the other volunteers. I highly recommend this place for your stay!

My stay at the host was a transformative experience. Surrounded by nature, I enjoyed daily yoga classes, meditation sessions, and especially meaningful conversations. The tranquil environment provided the perfect space for reflection and personal growth. The food was delicious and the overall vibe was peaceful and rejuvenating. Highly recommend!

This is not the place where to come in change of free accommodation, don't ruin this opportunity looking only to save money. This is a place where looking for your mental peace, sharing views of life and experiences, share the way of your inner growth. For me was a gift stay here, almost like at home of one of your friends even if I do not like create social media contents. But I think Fairoze doesn't care a lot of that part, I think in the host Hermitage the real focus is find guys who are really looking for something different in this life, an interior happiness, a mental freedom.
