Happy Panda Hostel Arambol

Very weird ambiance! The place is not that clean and the dormitory are extremely small no place to move! If your looking for a place to meet people, this definitely not the place! I booked for 5 days and after one night I left because of the weird vibe! Definitely not recommande

Great stay for relaxing in Arambol! Nice social area and clean rooms.

Nice and clean place. Only thing is the road that is very loud and the atmosphere is actually not like on the pictures.

Location is next to main road of Arambol, so the traffic noise was bothering if you want to sleep. Room ok size. The brothers of reception are very helpful and polite. Common area is nice. Enjoyed my stay and new friends.

Despite smallish communal areas, it was really easy to meet people. Cosy rooms (slightly pokey, very high beds) and barebones facilities (no cafe) but near enough to good cafes. 15 min walk to beach and 30 min walk to most nightlife cafes with events. Bare that in mind if you want to be right in the action. Worth spending a couple nights here.

Nice place lovely jubbly

Well-run hostel with brilliant internet, in-room facilities & beds. Love the guys that run it, the bar & music.

Good hostel

Great well run hostel in a fantastic location very close to Arambol and Mandrem beach. They had cooking facilities which was brilliant and a great atmosphere with lots of people always around. Would recommend!

It's good to meet new people, but bit hyped place.

Amazing place food is good plus the owner is very chill highly recommended

Amazing place, cleaness every morning and they served very good food there. I have broken the energy plug from my bed while sleeping,in two days it was fixed and no extras added . If you wanna enjoy North Goa this is the right place.

I love staying at Happy Panda whenever I’m in Arambol. It’s the perfect hostel - great staff, cheap food and drinks, and a social vibe. The facilities are immaculately clean, and very comfortable beds with curtains. Saurabh and Karthik are very friendly. And Ambary helped me out when I lost (and then found) my iPhone and I really appreciated that. Highly recommend staying here.

Fantastic location and really kind staff! As a solo female traveller, I felt really safe and made loads of friends here :)

Happy Panda is a hostel made for solo travelers and Backpackers who wanna met people. The beds are comfy and the stuff is making you feel welcome from the start. 100% recommend

Really fun and social hostel, was there for 5 days and loved it!

I couldn’t rate this hostel higher. Loads of experience staying in hostels and this one will be the most memorable. The guys that run it are so friendly, helpful and welcoming. The hostel is super clean (thanks to the guys that look after it all day long), there is water, a fridge, great showers with hot water too. The prices for beers in the hostel are super cheap, as well as the food which is excellent. But the vibe is what you should come here for. Excellent chill space ❤️

really nice place to stay. social vibe, games, karaoke and clean bathrooms! good menu also! only the towel service is little exexpensive.

Easily best hostel in Goa. Been here twice with 2 different people and they both loved it as well. Coming for a 3rd time now. Parhom and Karthik are best hosts and help with anything you need - events, scooty hire, taxis, good beaches etc. The atmosphere makes it easy to meet people here always a vibe! Will be coming back again soon!

You really can't complain. It's very social and the two owners are very kind. Don't get me started on the food! Most of the dishes are very affordable and tastyyy! They even changed my bed to the female dorm for no additional charges, just for safety. They have a laundry service that charges per piece, free water and basic kitchen utensils. The staff cleans the rooms so often, it can't even get dirty. The location is very convenient, maybe a bit far from the beach. Good vibes

Very friendly hostel, good food and welcoming by the owners who run the hostel. Great for solo travellers who can meet people from all around the world. It was clean with plenty of Washrooms and the beds are changed daily

Every aspect of this hostel makes it the best hostel ive been to. I spent a month there with a broken foot and i literally couldnt have gone through that in a better place than this. They clean EVERYTHING everyday and they stay on top of anything that requires their attention - i saw a bolt was unloose and 2 days later even that was fixed without mentioning anything. The owners are amazing, it really shows how much they love what theyre doing and how much care they put into it. Im very grateful ...

This is the place to be at in Goa. I booked the hostel for 3 days and ended up extending it for another 4 days. The hosts Karthik and Sourabh are very nice. The rooms are clean and the food at the cafe is extremely nice. It's a great place to meet more travellers. Highly recommend the hostel.

This is my second time staying here, and it’s always awesome. Both hosts are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The hostel is cozy, clean, and has a great vibe. You meet amazing people, and everything is conveniently nearby. Highly recommended…and the only hostel I would choose whenever I’m in Goa.

Amazing place. One of the best hostels I’ve been in. Saurabh and Karthik make it feel like a home. If you are in Arambol this is the place to stay.

What a place!! This is honestly the PERFECT hostel for solo travellers and making likeminded friends to explore and party in Goa. Great atmosphere, super friendly attentive staff, happy vibes and excellent food on site. Could not have asked for a better place to kick off my India backpacking trip. Huge shoutout to Karthik and Saurabh for making this hostel a 10/10 in every way. I will definitely be back and can’t wait to see your new location in future. Thank you for everything ! ✌🏼

I had a truly wonderful stay at this hostel the host are warm, friendly, and always ready to help. The hostel itself is very clean and hygienic. The dorms are well maintained, and the beds are spacious, comfortable What I really appreciated is that the rooms and common areas are cleaned every single day, which makes a huge difference, especially when you’re staying in a dorm. The location is also perfect, as the hostel is very close to the beach.Overall this hostel strikes the perfect balance ...

Loved staying in the place. Food was really good. They renovated this house so felt like a home family atmosphere. The cafeteria was small but it made people come closer. Made friends from other parts of the world and people were very friendly and welcoming loved my stay here!

nice hostel, perfect vibes. kartik, the owner, was always helpful whenever needed. would i go back? absolutely!

Great hostel, super clean and the perfect atmosphere for solo travellers.
