The Beachside Hostel Anjuna

Everyone was so friendly and the vibes were great ! The staff were amazing (esp Ted)

Stayed here once in March, was so good, came back again in April. Urja is one of the best hosts, and an amazing human. The activities they organise very interactive. Uber can be tricky to find, so it’s best to rent a bike and they help you with that as well. The views from the hostel in the evening are immaculate, the vibe is even better. Huge shoutout to Ted, Nemo, Emily, Adil, Sam and Muslin cause they surely made our stay memorable. Needless to say, i will visit again! Highly recommended.

While the hostel is perfect if you are open to a noisy crowd - it just wasn't my cup of tea, they turn off the AC for 2 hours between 7-9 which also kind of irked me a little. woke up from a good sleep in a pool of sweat. the location is great. the beds are great and washrooms are great as well. but would only recommended this place if staying at the beach is part of your itinerary. not really my cup of tea as I was looking for a calmer atmosphere.

It’s a great pick if you’re looking for a chill, budget-friendly vibe in Goa. The location is the biggest win — right by the beach, so you wake up to the sound of waves and can just walk out for sunsets. The whole place has a very social, backpacker-friendly atmosphere, making it easy to meet new people. Downsides: dorm beds are a bit cranky and the AC could be more chilled.

Loved the stay and the crowd. Big thank you to Sohail for the easy checkin and checkout . Kitchen can do with some improvement though Shout out to Chloe, Nemo , Ted and Oorja for making it a wonderful time there.

Legitimately the best hostel experience I've ever had. The staff, the vibe, location are simply unbeatable. There's a bar in the joint that serves food, and the biggest rave in Goa is less than 5 minutes away (Shiva Valley). Beach bars and restaurants are all seconds away. You can see the ocean from the patio- it doesn't get better than this!!

Goa is hard to get around in without a vehicle, so be ready to rent or ride a scooter or taxi. The beach is truly close by. Curtains on beds and lockers under the beds, decently reliable hot water (the first room I stayed in had good hot water, the second not so much, but that might have been the time of day). The excursions were a bit unorganized and never left on time, sometimes they were teased for hours and ended up never happening. Loud music in the courtyard every night till midnight, ...

Great social hostel with friendly staff! Good location to the beach and not far from lots of food spots.

Perfect mix of somewhere good to sleep and crazy staff keeping the evening interesting

Such a fantastic experience at Beachside hostel. Of course the facilities were nice, but what made it memorable were the people. A special shoutout to the entire staff - Suhail, Urja, Nimay & Chloe - for going the extra mile to create a welcoming and fun environment. Will absolutely visit again, hopefully soon! highly recommended ♥️

Beach view property awesome 👌🏻

Always the best, craziest and safest place to visit in Goa when you’re confused where to stay. I’ve been visiting this hostel from a long time and it always gave me the best experience. The amenities, dorms, well cleaned washrooms, options of availability. No need to worry at all. Special shoutout to Mick and the staff - Suhel, Nimay, Chloe. And not to forget - Mehdul & Abhishek. See you again..

Very great experience Perfect stay near beach Had a great stay Helpful and friendly staff

The property and crowd are good, mostly foreigners. However, I had a mixed experience. One host, Orja, declined my request to extend my stay for Monday, saying a big group was coming and there was no availability. But at checkout, another host gave me a bed, mentioning several were free, and no group arrived. This felt like cultural bias. I still met some great people and some people who were here last year has had similar experience with current hosts, which the owner should take note of.

Suhel,Urja, nimay, chloe, jessie, emily, ted, maity thank u so much for the amazing stay! I had a lot of fun!! You guys made my trip ❤️ The hostel itself is very nice, social and clean! The staff are so accomodating and everyone here including the guests are always up for fun. I honestly had the best time! Thank you so much could not recommend this hostel enough❤️ Try their Food!!! It’s delicious ❤️

Loved my stay here so much, all thanks to the staff :) every night was so sociable and easy to get involved in. Special mention to Ted, Urja, Jesse, and Suhel!

One of the best Hostel expériences I have ever had. The Location is just so nice, the outdoor Lounge is perfect for socialising, the staff was so friendly and it was also so fun to Hang out and Party with them. They are really good organized and every evening there was something Happening and a nice Community feeling was created. Thank You very much for how You do that to all the Team. I would love to come back

Good for a couple of days if you want a party & beach time, especially for psytrance lovers - Shiva Valley hosts Tues night raves! Atmosphere in the hostel is lively, love the central table to encourage everyone to socialise. The hostel felt insecure as a solo woman, anyone could’ve walked in. Also, my bed was cleared of my belongings twice by staff (once just dumped on the floor) due to bunj confusions. Staff training to be improved. Shoutout to Ulja for being so lovely, warm & apologetic!

Stayed here recently and it was clean, comfy, and somehow always buzzing without being chaotic. Staff were super friendly and a special shoutout to the Kiwi barman, Jesse — top-tier service!

It’s the best property in all of Anjuna. Urja, Emily and Adil are the best hosts. They lift up the vibe of the place. The food and service is also amazing over here
