    Great Vibes and Nice location

    ruchir g.loyalty-iconcouple

    The Hostel has great socialising vibes and feels great. But the price is too high for the private room with no amenities. The rates are equivalent to that of a luxury resort but here there are no toiletries also in the room

    You will have a very comfortable stay here at the hostel. It also has lots of fun activities going on in the hostel premises. Only thing they should improve is food order preparation and delivery time. If you place a food order, they'll take a minimum of 35-40 minutes for the order to deliver on your table.

    dolly s.loyalty-iconcouple

    Good place to stay. We faced an issue with network in our room but outside it was fine. The food is good. Staff is good. Everyone’s really sweet and helpful. They have cute kittens in the hostel. They org-anise several activities like ping pong games or movie nights. Would recommend this place.

    It was amazing - starting from the property to the hospitality everything was top notch. Even the location is so close to anjuna beach and the visitors we met there were so chill too. All in all this place made our trip a 10/10.

    The property is very big and the staff are very polite and friendly. Shout out to Akash for being a great host too. The guests who visited are also friendly. Stay was peaceful except for a group of guys who for some reason would talk very loud. But that’s how the hostel environment is, you get to meet all kinds. As someone who has stayed at a hostel for the first time, I’d say the experience was very good and I will come back again. As an introvert, it does sometimes feel lonely in a company of people but that’s how we are! :) Also, if you love cats, you’ll love this place. They are reason I extended my stay! If you don’t love em, be warned. But come on, give them a chance. They are adorable!

    The stay was good, the environment was very good and the staff were friendly. Although overall experience could have been better if they had power backups for at least charging the phones and a fan during power cuts.

    The facilities were run-down, the cleanliness was subpar. The staff seemed indifferent, unhelpful, rude and the overall atmosphere was lacking. It's safe to say i won't be returning anytime soon.

    My stay at the funky monkey hostel was really good. The room was clean and comfortable. The food was delicious. It was very close to the anjuna beach which is a big advantage. The staff is very helpful and provide great service. Since i travel-led during hot summers, i was okay with having no hot water for showers. But maybe they can make arrangements for hot water in all seasons. Not everyone is comfortable with cold showers. But it wasn't a hassle. All in all, a great place to stay! i highly recommend it.

    The road to the property is bad however the hostel is good from inside. The food is also tasty and rooms are spacious given the price. It's a few minutes away from the beach and one can reach easily by walking.

    Worst Possible experience. kindly avoid this place at any cost.

    vikas m.couple

    Less than zero stars if possible…. - Since it’s a private room booked at a comparatively high price, one at least expects water in the room same as any other hostel/hotel around India and other countries. - There’s no table in the room, not even a bedside - Only one charging point in the whole room - The AC remote not working. - No towels were provided when we arrived. - What’s the point of the windows when they are with clear glass which directly opens on the bed of this so-called private room? The moment you move the curtain inside, people outside starts staring at you and they can literally see everything inside. - Never heard of a private room (even in a twin bed room) where toilets are separate and they are accessible through a common corridor. - Staff is definitely not welcoming and accommodating. - Every hostel/hotel allows food and alcohol from outside but here, they have fine for that. To my feeling, all the decisions are taken just based on the maximising the earnings and not the quality of service provided. No point mentioned here is wrong as I am in the room right now and I can get it checked.

    As a backpackers hostel, we aim to create a social & eco-friendly environment for solo travelers and backpackers. The twin private room you booked is specifically designed for 2 friends traveling together and seeking a social vibe. For privacy, you can use the curtains. Regarding the water, we provide free water refills to reduce plastic waste, and guests are welcome to bring their own bottles. All our hostel team works very hard to create a social and friendly atmosphere at the Hostel. Please do not expect Hotel-like services from a Backpacker’s Hostel - thanks.
