    Such a peaceful part of India. Nice big dorm room. Couple of fans. Location is nice and quiet. The meals prepared but the chef were amazing for the price! Highly recommend

    Nothing at all

    Crossroads is one of the best places I've stayed in. I came and it felt like home and I extended my stay for 10 days. The property is beautiful, converted from an old house, beautiful furniture & art with fruits trees and fields all around. Very quiet and peaceful surroundings and easy to reach by public transport too. The best part about it is the wonderful people running it, Aflu, Manu, Gayatri, Sundar, which made crossroads feel like home. Sundar makes a variety of amazing and food ( eat his bread omlette)and Trance is the loveliest dog you'll meet! I had my 'summer vacation' chilling on the hammock,walking around in the village, playing games and eating, soaking in the serenity and I loved it! Manu also took me for a run and it was fun to run through the open fields with the sun setting. But if you'd like to go around, there are plenty of spots around and the hosts will help you with it. WiFi is great. Budget friendly stay and food too and serves both long and short term travellers. Varadoor is not commercialized so it was good to see an authentic glimpse of Kerala's village life.If you are a nature lover, crossroads is hard to beat!

    Amazing vibe! They have the most gracious hosts and an amazing cook! Trance is a beautiful dog who will protect you as long as you stay there. Lovely place to have a quiet and peaceful trip. Made my journey extremely comfortable and fun! They also have another branch in Mysore which I'm sure is as amazing. Would rate it 10/10 and will definitely go again. Highly recommended!

    1. The location was a bit tricky to reach initially. The host will guide you, just follow their instructions. Also better to have your own vehicle. 2. Walls are thin I guess, I could overhear music and talk from the adjacent room. 3. The room was somewhat small, but it was shown similar in pic I guess, I realised this later. 4. The storage/cupboard was not there in the room.

    1. Great Hosts. Abhishek really helped me a lot in terms of where and how to go to various places. Also, thanks for those conversations where we talked, fought, learnt and bonded. 2. Awesome food. Kerala is famous for its food, and I didn't have to go anywhere to search for local flavours. Everyday, Sundar used to prepare those delectable meals for everyone. Honestly I was skeptical about the taste initially, but just one bite changed my mind. Also, the pricing is very very reasonable. 3. Center of I think it is quite equidistant from all waynaad attractions, so yeah perfect for your waynaad sightseeing trip. 4. Peaceful environment. Most of the waynaad is peaceful, and Crossroads did complete justice to it. Surrounded by greenery (trees, shrubs and farms). Very few houses nearby, so not much external noise. You can just sit and enjoy the solitude, especially mornings are so calming. 5. Lot of open spaces. Unlike most hostel, where they try to fit a lot of rooms to accommodate more people, here there are more open spaces. You can bask in the sunlight, even enjoy the rains. Common area is shaded though. So, whatever your poison, you are bound to enjoy here. 6. They have hot water and a washing machine available too, so that problem is sorted too.

    I had the perfect stay at crossroads, amazing vibe and the setting was perfect. Can easily hire a bike if u want to explore Wayanad or sit back a relax, really felt like i was home. I could of easily stayed for weeks even after extending my stay. Hospitality was so nice and the food served by the chef was amazing with huge portions and with little cost. Oh and theres a dog that will follow u around if u feed him biscuits 😃 see u soon guys!

    We were doing a road trip around the south with 10 people. We were fortunate enough to find the best stay in Wayanad through Booking. We liked the hospitality of the host Afla. Who took care of us like their own people. The stay was so peaceful as we were craving for. It was clean, fresh and so mesmerizing. We happened to meet a few bagpackers as well. It was such a heartful experience to meet new people and discuss each other's experiences. Overall, I would suggest anyone who is planning to wayanad should give it a try to Crossroads Hostel.

    Loved the place

    Crossroads Hostel 1957 was such a welcoming place to arrive at. Aflah really took care of me on arrival as I was exhausted from a long journey from Kochi and Kozhikode. My room was upgraded and Sundar promptly made me a delicious lunch. In fact Sundar was a master in the kitchen, and all meals are prepared for guests. It is a very chill place to visit, grab a bike or pick a book to read enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Oh and Trance the dog will adopt you immediately, he is so gorgeous.

    It was not as remote as I’d hoped, so you need to travel quite a bit further to get close to any raw nature.

    Secluded, restored farm house with minimal approach. Very cute private room. Very good food, hosts very welcoming and amenable.
