Craft Hostels

This is my 2nd time staying. I loved every bit of it. It’s surrounded with nature and no chaos around. Walkable to view point and beach. Staff is amazing as always. Great security for woman😊 A small cafe with great food.

The hotel is beautiful and well manteined, has a nice garden and is very close to the beach and bar and restaurants. The staff was absolutely fantastic, Abishek was sooo helpful, made my stay super comfortable. Filter water always available, car and scooter rent nearby.

During the week end you could hear loud music coming from clubs nearby, so pack some earpulgs.

Cool location, great caretaker

Nothing as such

Vibe is amazing

This is my 2nd time, country side feel.. Anjuna just walking distance ... Very good ambience ..

All good

Cozy , clean and close to beach

Never had breakfast because your discourteous staff, in collusion with a bunch of religious zealots who were guests too I suppose, got me evicted after a whole bunch of profanity and what not... after it was THEM WHO Were doing drugs, together and talking some religious smack, very surreptitiously of course... Simple. And kept all my expensive belongings including a recliner, which I would like back. How's that for a like ?

What could have been better, is me not having had come there at all. I did not expect my beautiful teak wood recliner to be so covetously kept along with some food, a few clothes and some other toiletries etc... There were two bookings, one from 8th to 9th which was paid, and one more from 9th to 11th which I do not know was paid or not cause I do not have access to my UPI right now. If it was paid, return the money along with my belongings, which you may tell me when to come to collect. That is pretty much all.

Staff are friendly and helpful.

Water Leakages in the room . AC Stopped working at one point. Bed sheets should be cleaner. Plants need to be trimmed.

Beautiful stay!

Todo. Dar un plus por nevera compartida.

Nada que decir.

Satisfying

N/A

Great and helpful staff. Value for money. Good Location very close to the beach.

Facility quality can be better for example privacy curtains for beds.

Loved the welcome from staff. Very helpful and friendly. Great value rooms very near the beach.

Nothing. It’s as I expected

This accommodation is truly special! The house is 120 years old and feels due to its Portuguese roots very Mediterranean yet the renovations are very well and thoughtfully done and the place is maintained well. The room was not just beautiful but really cozy and finally we entered a place with AC which did smell fresh and airy instead of moldy. The facilities are very clean. But the best is the excellent service! We arrived late yet that wasn’t a problem at all. After a quick check in we head of to Shiva Valley for a legendary party which was no issue at all and the night guard showed us friendly how to open the gate. The surroundings are super safe so we could walk to the venue and after two hours of dancing we happily fell into a really cozy bed. The next day we woke up to a relaxed vibe and got great tips for the area and surroundings. Couldn’t have been better!

Nothing that was not absolutely satisfying.

This was my 2nd stay in the same trip and I am grateful that I booked this cottage! The chirping of the birds!Omg like early in the morning we could hear so many birds chirping all together! It was lovely. I think heard peacocks also among the birds! It was a beautiful old Goan cottage, decorated tastefully. It is bit separate from the main property but only extra 20m walking, not an issue. The outside space was huge and there were just two cottages so enough space to dry clothes and all outside. We would love to come back and stay here for a longer time. The beach was closeby like 3mins walking. The main section of the hostel was lively and you can chill there. Beer can be bought right next shop near the parking area. Overall nice vibes.

The kitchen part within the private cottage could be cleaner. The bathroom could be remodeled aesthetically like the other room, but it is fine.

The room was spacious and huge.It had a nice sit-out area also. Loved the high ceiling of the room, it makes it airy. It was tastefully decorated. There are 3 private rooms bit separate from the main compound but easily accessible. The whole property was beautiful and had lot of areas to sit and chill. Overall loved the vibe. It very close to the Anjuna beach like 3mins walking. On Wednesdays there is Anjuna Flea market right next to the hostel. You can find beer, water 20m from the property, next to their parking area. They also have a small cafe within the premises in case you want to munch on something. Thanks to Abi for his recommendations!

The bathroom door is wonky. Like if you bash it hard it closes, but don't really want to do that. Most of the time it does not close properly.

L’endroit est magnifique, très belle chambre et personnel super gentil !

Very nice staff, ready to help with everything. They even helped us booking taxi to airport when te goamiles app failed to do so. Clean and comfy private room

Abi was absolutely incredible. He was the most helpful kind person we had come across in a hostel/hotel. He made our stay very easy. The room was also beautiful and the grounds of the hostel were gorgeous. Bonus was a cute cat and dog that stay!

Fantastic manager and friendly staff. Had an excellent time

Läget, atmosfären (chill) och fantastiskt trevlige och hjälpsamme receptionisten.

Lyhört i rummen.

Cleanliness, staff behavior and the atmosphere

Nothing to not like

- staff were amazing, Abhi in particular helped us with everything we needed especially when we were sick. And gave us lots of recommendations, brilliant host. - close to beach - nice quiet atmosphere in common areas of hostel

- room wasn’t the best. Lot of bugs and there’s a beam at the top of the room which rats would run across… - en-suite bathroom isn’t fully enclosed from bedroom - no sound proofing between rooms and you could hear music all night from nearby bars / clubs - food service can take a while, waited almost an hour for breakfast once. very limited menu and odd kitchen opening times

Location, common areas, hospitality

Very warm welcome from host & manager Abhishek. We booked a private room which was lovely, calm, clean. Great spot for exploring Anjuna, tucked away from the busy-ness. Nice vibe in the courtyard area to read a book and chill.

The area is not super quiet, but considering you are in Anjuna and by the beach this is expected. We wore earplugs and had a good sleep!

Sehr schöne Unterkunft und zentral gelegen. Ich war an einem Mittwoch da und das Hostel ist mitten im Markt. Es hat einen gemütlichen, ruhigen Gemeinschafts-Garten. Das Zimmer war sehr hübsch, sehr sauber und bequem. Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal:)

Outdoor area and room size

My room felt disconnected from the rest of the property Noise at night

Great manager who gave us many tips and recommendations, helpful staff, spacious room in old Portugees house, 3 minutes walk to the beach.

This is one of the best place in Anjuna.. The staff are very friendly specially Abhi waiting for you from the check in to check out... very warm and friendly guy and will ensure your comfort through out the day...I visited with my 2 year baby girl and for sure visit again for a long stay...

The food available in canteen in very good but More variety of food in kitchen can be served...

Very helpful staff. The private rooms are very nice. Nicely decorated, comfortable

I stayed one night in the dorms and another night at a private room. The private room was very nice but the dorm needs some work. No place to put luggage or hang things. There were only 2 showers and 3 toilets for all the dorms. They were a bit outdated and not very clean.

Good location, nice garden, nice private rooms

Dorms and common bathrooms

Everything is great, beach is like 2 minutes walk

The bathrooms are small but its fineeeee

The staff was polite and also the hostellers were friendly

The vibe

4-night stay in 10 person dormitory. Manager was very helpful and attentive. Room was large and had good storage. Excellent location for beach and food outlets. Hostel had cafe and breakfast option. Good value for money. Best hostel I've used in this area and I hope to revisit next year for longer.

No complaints.

Beautiful vibe and a perfect location. The staff are warm, helpful and genuinely kind. The place is clean, stylish and has everything you need without overdoing it. The atmosphere feels relaxed, artistic and truly special.

Simply Awesome place

The vibe, staff and manager Mr Sandesh

It's a wonderful hostel with a vibe. Great people hanging around.

I expected the rooms to be a lot bigger. A little cramped for larger people.

Location was good! Room was also decent for the amount I paid.

Staff was extremely uninterested to help. Sandesh was still decent, the girl at the reception looked unhappy to help. I felt like I was disturbing her. The issue was that there were several insects such as ants and spiders in my room. Worse, at night, when I woke up to drink water, I found a toxic caterpillar which was on the floor and thankfully not on my bed. I was lucky it did not bite me. If it had, I couldn't have expected to receive medical help from the lazy staff at Craft. Secondly, the wifi in my room did not work for almost 8-10 hours because they had not recharged on time. This was undesirable, but it was fine, no issues. I understand you are a hostel, but you should definitely not have insects and toxic pests in your rooms. Will not stay again! Not recommended.

Great Location, Great Outdoor Space, Great room with everything

Nothing

Big beds

Parking facilities

That it felt like home more like a cozy, welcoming space. It was calm, comfortable, and had a homely vibe that really resonated with me. The aesthetics and atmosphere matched my own style, making the stay feel very natural and at ease.

There’s nothing that i can think of.

It is near the beach and has good vibes.

The hostel canteen/restaurant opens and closes as per their will. I had to go out a few times to get tea/coffee as it wasn't open till 10 am. The Check-in wasn't very welcoming. I have stayed year earlier too, this time with the new staff it lacks warmth or general greeting. Sandesh makes an effort but I guess its not the same it used to be with the old staff and owners around.
