+ Very remote. It would be worth going to a remote property only if it really is clean and peaceful but this property isn't.
- The person who sits at the reception(who calls himself the owner) is very arrogant. He has no sense of hospitality at all. He has no clue on how to talk to the guests. He talks to guests as if he is talking to his relatives. For those who do not understand, he has no sense of professionalism. The bathroom in the dorm is very unhygenic.

- Very inconvenient to reach. Very far from the main road. Can't carry suitcases. Not condusive for family or kids. Only ruck sack travellers. No car or two wheeler parking
I had a very disappointing experience at this hostel. I booked a private room and received confirmation immediately after making the reservation. However, upon arrival, the receptionist informed me that I had booked a dorm instead. When I showed them my booking confirmation for a private room, they claimed they couldn't do anything and told me to speak with the manager. When I contacted the manager, he admitted there had been an error in the system and that the room had been double-booked. With...
+ I really loved the room and the view
- The manager was extremely unprofessional
+ Staff were very helpful
- Beds were quite hard and shower head didn’t work properly
+ The view
- All the people were more concerned about taking and smoking drugs Very cold and dirty. Shared room and there was only half a bathroom door as it had rotted and broken. Other people not from the room was coming in to use bathroom and had to wait for them to finish and they had used last toilet roll without refilling Way too far off the road with uneven paths to wheel luggage and difficult to find

Warm and welcoming place and the people who host. Nestled away from the noise. You meet interesting people, can practice slow living, get to hike around in nature. Do your thing. Or better just move here for a workation.
I had a great time at Orchards House. The hostel itself is quaint, with the staff here being a highlight of my stay. An indoor common area would make this place perfect.
Great value and friendly staff. Very comfy bed and blanket, slept well. Good food and nice peaceful location. We visited at the end of winter and there wasn’t anywhere warm to hang out which made it slightly uncomfortable at times. But not a problem really.
+ Great staff, relaxing and comfortable rooms
Great spot to chill. Nice cosy atmosphere.
+ I liked the friendly, openminded, very serviceminded and helpfull staff. Komal, the manager, is making every effort to make everybody feel welcome and “at home”, and are even bringing travellers together. The food and the surrondings is astonishing! We should have stayed 4 days, we stayed 7…
- Liked everything!
+ Couldn’t fault this place - a perfect location and perfect team. Property manager (Komal) made us feel so welcome and catered to every need. She welcomed us to their Holi celebrations and was always up for a social game in the evening! Food was great, toiletries were always made available and can’t fault the rooms or the gorgeous view. Would definitely return.
- Can’t fault the location but be sure to message the team if you have an issue finding once you get dropped off!
+ Manager was rallye helpful and nice
- Way to the accommodation
+ Peaceful location in Old Manali

My stay at Orchids was fantastic. From the moment I arrived, the hosts, Komal and Pranav, were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Special mention to Komal for organising events like board games and movie nights to make sure everyone was enjoying their stay. The hostel has a perfectly relaxed vibe—exactly what I was looking for. I highly recommend Orchids to anyone traveling solo or with friends!
+ The location is too comfortable, and the vibe is too peaceful. I came for 2 nights, and ended up staying for almost a week. Pranav is a very nice host and always only a call away. Ideal for staycation/workations. Would definitely come back here!

+ Great stay! Clean rooms, peaceful surroundings, and super friendly staff. The walk up from Old Manali is a bit steep, but totally worth it once you reach the property. Would definitely stay again!
- The only thing to keep in mind is that the way up from Old Manali is a bit of a climb, especially with luggage. But once you reach the property, it’s totally worth it for the calm and views you get.
