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

Overall everything is good. The rooms are comfortable, the bathroom is good and there is hot water. When you step out of the room door there is always a mountain view, perfect. The food is good, delicious. The location is in the middle of 3 different towns, but it is about 5 or 10 minutes walking distance to everywhere. Close to mountaineering and climbing routes. The environment and people are good. If I go to Mcleodganj again, I will stay at this hostel again.

I recently stayed at this hostel and had a fantastic experience. The highlight for me was the breathtaking sunset views from the hostel. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home. The presence of a café on-site was convenient and added to the overall charm of the place. While it's worth mentioning that there's a bit of an uphill trek to reach the hostel, the views and hospitality more than make up for it. I highly recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a memorable stay with great vibes.

    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.
