    The property is near the beach and it was easy to arrive through the public transport. The place was peaceful and at the same time had a good vibe. I was able to work peacefully and at the same time meet a lot of travellers and spend quality time with them. Had a good internet connection. Good place for a workcation. Note - I went in off season hope it's same throughout. The rooms are neat and clean. The hosts Akshay and Komal are helpful and friendly. I loved my stay in Hostel Mandala. I would love to revisit.

    They have daily cleaning facility. They will change the bedsheets and pillow covers daily. Free drinking water is provided & they also have an in-house kitchen. It’s hardly two minutes walk to the Anjuna Beach, right behind purple martini.

    Hostel Mandala had a terrace where I could peacefully read books when I was not roaming around. Terrace had an amazing sea view. And there were adorable cats and a dog there too. And I got to meet very interesting people whom I got along with. The manager was very helpful and friendly. She suggested I go to the Hilltop flea market and I am so glad I did. You never find those kind of unique stalls in Pune. Since it's a well maintained hostel it attracts very interesting people too. 😊

    Really nice hostel. Clean and modern. Great roof top social area. Staff were lovely and very helpful. Toiletries in bathrooms were body shop! Good food and generally a super chilled quiet hostel.

    Good room. Very nice roof terrace. You can dry your towels and laundry there. In the neighborhood enough restaurants ans bars. But the most unbelievable person was Akki, she helped us with renting motorbikes and arranged a cab for us while nobody else wanted to drive us in the early morning. Great Thanks to Akki!!!

    Location: a lot of ready-to-bark stray dogs, prices for food are generally higher, subpar beach and loud music in the night over the whole town, but it's nothing to do with the hostel, it's how the town goes

    Bed curtains WiFi enough for zoom calls Working AC Lockers Advices where to go from host Chillout zone on the rooftop

    It is by far the best hostel I have ever been to. The room was very clean and the bed was cozy, so I felt very comfortable. The location of the hostel is great, so everything was easily accessible. Akki in particular was so sweet and helpful. I felt like I was in good hands there, even when I was sick, I was looked after. As a woman traveling alone, I met great people there. I can only recommend everyone to go to this hostel!

    Nothing really.

    Had a lovely stay here! Akki and the staff were really sweet and helpful. He even got me a cake cause it was my birthday 🥹 It was such a sweet gesture. And the hostel was very clean and safe. Loved that they had body shop products in the bathroom. Would 100% recommend it!

    There should be come activities for the community.. maybe morning for folks to meet up

    The cleanest hostels at Anjuna. Clean beds, comfortable mattress, freshly washed linen, and most importantly very clean washrooms with good quality toiletries

    Only slight improvement I’d suggest would be if staff could explain the facilities on check in. I didn’t realise there was a roof terrace for several days but this could have been because I checked in at an odd time. Also can be little noisy with people returning from nights out to the dorms. This is no fault of the hostel as they do have a dedicated quiet time but you can get inconsiderate guests.

    Good location close to the beach and everything you need is easily accessible. Each room has lockers for valuables. Staff were very friendly and helpful with everything. Loved that each bed had privacy curtain, light and charging socket.

    Quiet tidy and clean and Akki the host is very welcoming and helpful. If you’re looking for a party hostel, this ain’t the one. But if you want to recharge from a heavy weekend, its perfect!
