Had a comfortable stay overall. The hostel had mostly foreign travelers, but the crowd was decent. It was a little confusing to find on Google Maps at first, but once you know the way it’s actually quite easy to reach about a 400 m walk from the main road, especially if you’re not using a rented vehicle. The hosts were really helpful and suggested some good places to visit. Just not the best spot if you’re looking for a super lively, party-type vibe Otherwise, a calm and pleasant stay.

Best hostel to stay in in Tapovan by far! Great location, easy walking distance to all the good cafes and the ganga. The staff was super helpful with recommendations. The best part of this hostel was definitely the social aspect and everyone I met there and the morning yoga. Will definitely stay again when I’m back in Rishikesh!

I stayed at Back Stayz for a few nights and throughly enjoyed my stay! Staff are great and in a location tucked away but close to everything. Met a lot of nice people from all over and the hostel also puts on activities to help meet people and see the area. Bonus they have a lovely terrace on the top floor!

Nous avons passé un agréable séjour à Rishikesh. L’hostel est parfaitement situé et le personne est très aimbable. Il y a des cours de yoga tous les matins sur la terrasse. La chambre était propre et le lit très confortable. Le seul point négatif est le siège de toilettes qui était brisé dans notre chambre.

Nice and quiet spot. Good vibes. Nice rooftop view. Good accommodations, staff, and privacy. I had trouble finding it(vague address on apple maps) when I arrived which was a little frustrating after traveling overnight but they were able to help me sort it out eventually. The security seemed a little lax, but I guess Rishikesh is chill. No locks on door, no keys, nor lockers. Having one washroom for the shared room was nice. The water was crazy hot and a little tough to manage for showering.

Had a amazing time with backstayz hostel, they ensure that you have a great time in rishikesh by regularly organzing events at the hostel, overall very satisfied with them

My partner and I had a great stay. The staff were very friendly and put on some great events. The terrace was closed for maintenance during our stay and work would often go on early in the morning with workmen often walking through the corridors causing a bit of mess. This was disappointing but unavoidable. Overall we enjoyed our stay but would have been made better by the terrace being open and the place itself being cleaner.

A great hostel if you're looking for a cook they have an open kitchen which is a plus and also have safe parking as I'm on bike

Situated next to Devi Music Ashram and countless places to explore, the location is perfect. The facilities are ok, but the big rooms and cool rooftop make up for it. Staff were very helpful with local advice and booking a taxi. As a group of 6, it was an efficient stay.
