    The location of the hostel is perfect for exploring the beautiful town. It is close to the beach and provides easy access to all the attractions. The room was clean and comfortable, and the bathroom had a hot shower. The hosts were super nice and friendly, making our stay enjoyable. The hostel also had a rooftop area, which was awesome for relaxing and socializing with fellow travelers.

    One downside was that it was a bit difficult to find the hostel, so it is recommended to call before arrival for clear instructions.

    The location of this hostel is perfect for exploring the area. It is well connected to the bus stop, making it convenient for transportation. it is within walking distance of the beach, eliminating the need for renting a bike. the outer sitting area is a great place to relax and socialize with fellow guests. the hostel has clean and comfortable beds, and the bathrooms are fragrant and spotless. the property is well-maintained and secure, with spacious lockers for storage.

    The lack of adequate ventilation, especially in the Goan summers, can be uncomfortable.

    The owners were very knowledgeable about the area and always willing to help. the bar and cafe at the hostel had great prices and tasty food. the hostel had a good amount of space and was kept clean.

    The area surrounding the hostel got quite noisy early in the morning, which made it difficult to sleep.

    The hostel offered a separate tent accommodation, which was a nice touch for privacy. It was also great to have a kitchen facility included, making it convenient for preparing meals. the hostel was located in a prime area, providing easy access to various places of interest.

    The customer service at the reception was not up to par. One of the staff members was consistently rude and seemed to prioritize foreigners over others.

    We had an incredible time at Happy Panda Hostel. The atmosphere was amazing, the beds were comfortable, and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. The owners, Kartik and Sourabh, were especially helpful and gave us fantastic recommendations for local eateries. The hostel's proximity to the beach and market was a major plus. We will definitely be returning to Happy Panda Hostel in the future. I highly recommend this hostel.

    I stayed at Happy Panda Hostel for a week during my vacation in Goa. The hosts, Karthik and Saurabh, were incredibly friendly and always available to help. They even have a super cute dog! The common areas, both indoor and outdoor, were fantastic for socializing with other travelers, and there's a mini bar with snacks too. I loved the fact that I could freshen up and store my belongings in the common room when I arrived early. The hostel is just a short 10-minute walk from the beach, and the WiFi actually works!

    I highly recommend this hotel.

    The location of the hostel is ideal, just a short walk from the beach. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, always going out of their way to ensure a pleasant stay. The dorms are clean and comfortable, with the sheets being changed regularly. The bathrooms are well-maintained and offer hot water. The kitchen is fully equipped, making it easy to cook meals. There are also great common areas for socializing and meeting other travelers.

    The cell phone charging points in some areas were not functioning properly.

    The staff were super friendly and always ready to help, whether it was giving recommendations or sorting out any issues. They made my stay enjoyable and stress-free. the location was also great, with easy access to local sights and activities. Plus, the comfortable beds and clean rooms made for a pleasant and cozy stay. I also appreciated the communal areas, such as the well-equipped kitchen, which made it easy to meet other travelers and have a good time.

    The connectivity was weak and the password was like a jigsaw puzzle - too confusing. I found that the communal areas were a bit cramped and there wasn't enough space to hang out comfortably.
