Stayed 3 nights here. Amazing location close to the beach. Relaxed vibe and super friendly staff. We visited off season, but still got a “family” feeling, because we played games in the evening and the host put on movies after request. The staff helped us with renting bikes and train tickets. Truly loved this place. And the food is amazing!!!

The location, the view and the amenities in the property are amazing. It had everything that a hostel needs. The beach front cafe with the amazing food is an added bonus. The host made sure that you have a good time with endless games and fun activities. There is never a dull moment here even with less people. Highly recommend it if you want the true hostel experience.

My friend and I had an amazing stay at HostelExp! The property is huge, with a mix of campground and lodging vibes, making it both adventurous and cozy. I stayed in a private cabin, while my friend opted for a dorm, and both were great. One of the best parts was the on-site café, which served delicious food, while the shared kitchen gave us the flexibility to cook when we wanted. The staff was incredibly helpful, and we met some wonderful people along the way. The location was perfect, within walking distance of the main beach, and the hostel helped us rent two-wheelers to explore Om and Paradise Beaches, both of which were close by. The hammocks, yoga space (which doubled as a workout area), and peaceful writing spots were standout features that made the space feel even more special. Overall, HostelExp was the perfect mix of social and laid-back, with everything we needed for a memorable stay. Would absolutely stay here again!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at zostel Gokarna , and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by the breathtaking views that this hostel offers. The location is simply spectacular, providing guests with some of the best vistas I've ever seen. The hostel itself is well-maintained and comfortable, with clean and cozy dorms. The staff were friendly and accommodating, making me feel welcome throughout my stay. What truly sets this hostel apart, however, is its incredible cafe. The food and beverages served there were not only delicious but also reasonably priced. I found myself enjoying both sunrise and sunset while sipping a cup of coffee from their cafe, which was a remarkable way to start and end each day. If you're looking for a hostel with a combination of unbeatable views and a great cafe. It's an excellent choice for travelers seeking both natural beauty and culinary delights. I can't wait to return to this gem on my next adventure.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    I loved Trippr. The Managers and Volunteers, Praveen Mathew and Praveen Babu, and now a volunteer, Darshan, they are the best. Best friends for a backpacker. The Hostel is right in front of the beach, you can stay in Tent, open it and see the beach, take a dip, take a shower and chill. Loved it

    Amazing hostel & a clean property. The hosts take extra effort everyday to make your stay comfortable & your time in GoKarna worth it. They are involved with every guest & provide you with a community experience. Hosts have great suggestions for places to visit & food options to try. Accessibility to the beach & the view from the property are the cherry on top. I'd 100% recommend Revibe to every backpacker visiting GoKarna.

    I was supposed to stay for couple of days and I ended up extending my booking for 2 weeks. Definitely one of the best hostels I had in India so far. Nice common spaces, good food, clean dorms and very beautiful people!

    I highly recommend this place for solo or group travelers, especially women. It's safe, near a clean beach, and offers enjoyable activities in the evenings. The rooms are spacious, well-ventilated, and maintained with clean bathrooms. The hosts, Guru, Karadi, and Chandan, are excellent and go out of their way to cater to guests' needs. A special shout-out to Bhushan for his impressive fire act. Having stayed in numerous hostels across India, this is one of the places where I truly had a great time.

    Great location in front of the beach with good value for money. Sammy is flexible (I could sleep in my hammock for a cheaper price), smiling, hospitable, helpful, empathic, very nice and with beautiful vibes. Some other members of the staff are nice too, like Shree and also Laxmi who helped me to wear my saree. Very safe for the luggage. You can also use a safe box if you bring your padlock.l Nice for meeting young indian people. The toilets and the place are cleaned all day long.
