Staff behaviour is good , but except for the staff everything is very bad , mattress is very thin and very hard , toilet is not clean
Bunk beds are so hard , only 2,3 inch thick , it's like we sleep without a mattress, our room is on the ground floor , every other person comes out from outside and uses the toilet,it's like people using like a public toilet and toilet was so bad it's very disturbing , I booked for 2 nights , but next day I leave the hostel , because it's so bad , my past experience with backpackers , hostellers is very good
Horrible toilets
朝着でもベッド用意してくれました
朝500発のバスにのるに、門がかぎかかり、飛び越えて外へ出た。前もって言っておけば大丈夫なはす。

I recommend this for a 5-star Google review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an incredible stay at Trippy Turtle Hostel, Manali! The hostel has an amazing atmosphere, stunning mountain views, and is the perfect place to meet fellow travelers. Everything was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, making my stay truly enjoyable. A special thanks to our host, Shoaib Bhai, who made the experience even more memorable. His warmth, kindness, and helpful nature made everyone feel at home. He was always ready with local recommendations, travel tips, and great conversations, which added a personal touch to the entire stay. If you're looking for a hostel with a fantastic vibe, friendly people, and exceptional hospitality, Trippy Turtle Hostel is the place to be. Highly recommended, and I can't wait to visit again!
Beds, view of mountains, friendly people

Location and aesthetics
Washroom
Das Personal war freundlich, interessiert und hilfsbereit. Auch die Lage ist wirklich super. Alles wirkte sehr sozial und es gab Lagerfeuer, was ich super fand. Das Frühstück war auch in Ordnung
Im ersten Zimmer hat der Wasserboiler nicht funktioniert. Ich bekam also ein anderes Zimmer. Hier hatten die Bettlaken und die Bettdecke aber wie im ersten Zimmer Brandlöcher, ein paar Haare und viele Fusseln. Ich weiß nicht, ob das wirklich frisch war. Auch das Bad fand ich weniger einladend
The owner's attitude. He was arrogant with too much attitude. The receptionist was good and helpful!
It was pathetic
Nothing i liked It was unclean No water worst hostel i ever booked
Staff behaviour, location very near to Mall road, ample parking space, outside view, etc
Everything was perfect
It's situated near centre

Location, staff
Views are blocked by a building
Dirty place, very weak water stream in the shower, the stuff are not so pleasant.
Staff very kind
Good location, budget and good food.
Toilet cleanliness should be improved, also Hostel need to implement strictly on the Silent hours durings night time..
Location is close to the mall road.
Property is not well maintained. Bed has black linen, you can't figure out whether they are clean or not. Washroom mirror is fitted for small height people and there's a bulb on top of it which is really uncomfortable. Mug is broken. Anyone can see from outside from bathroom exhaust fan space. Lots of issues.
The property is extremely value for money and close to Mall road.
The dormitory bathroom did not have a lock so I don’t know what would have happened if I had dorm-mates
Location was nice, staff was friendly
Storage room and washroom were dirty
Great location, quiet area and very friendly staff
Was there for 3 days and the dorm was never cleaned
Good place, affordable price.
Washroom was a bit dirty (calc etc), not enough room for stuff in the washroom
Location
Staff not concerned about travellers. More concerned with profit and I found them to be pretentious
The staff. Atharva and sunny felt very friendly to be around. They try to make everybody feel home.
Friendly behaviour
Trippy Turtle turned out to be amazing. Exceptional atmosphere and surroundings and well managed parking and space. Amazing view from room and gallery.
Staff was friendly and very helpful with advice about my onward travel. My single room was large and bed was comfortable with good bed linen and abundant hot shower water. Location was great, a short walk into town. Very pleasant stay.
I wish the roof terrace had a space for exercise/yoga.
Location very good... very close from Mall road
Cleanliness can be better like bedsheets and washroom

You just try this hostel you never regrets if you came solo.......
I had an amazing stay at Trippy Turtle Hostel in Manali, which is conveniently located near Mall Road and the HRTC bus stand. The hostel offers a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere, making it a perfect place for travelers looking to relax and socialize. The rooms were clean, cozy, and well-maintained, while the common areas had a great vibe with music, games, and friendly people. The staff was extremely helpful and ensured a comfortable experience throughout my stay. Waking up to the stunning mountain views and enjoying the peaceful yet lively ambiance made my trip unforgettable.
Nothing
I had the absolute pleasure of staying at Tripp Turtle Hostel, and honestly, I couldn’t have asked for a better place! Initially, I planned to stay for just a day, but I ended up extending my stay to three days—and even then, I didn’t feel like leaving. Affordable yet Quality Stay Despite being budget-friendly, the hostel doesn’t compromise on comfort and quality. The rooms are cozy, the vibe is chill, and everything is well-maintained—making it a great value for money. Incredibly Homely Atmosphere A huge shoutout to Shoeb bhai and DK, who made the stay feel like a home away from home. It genuinely felt less like a hostel and more like crashing at a friend’s place for a fun night out. Their warmth and hospitality were unmatched, making every moment memorable. The Common Room – A Hub of Fun! The common area is an absolute gem—filled with laughter, fun conversations, and endless joy. Whether you’re meeting fellow travelers or just chilling, it’s the perfect place to unwind and make new friends. Unbeatable Hospitality What sets Tripp Turtle apart is how much they go out of their way to make your trip special. They accompanied us on treks without charging anything extra and even helped us bargain at local spots—it genuinely felt like they were more of friends than business owners. Final Verdict If you’re looking for a place that offers affordability, comfort, and the best hosts, look no further. Tripp Turtle isn’t just a hostel—it’s an experience. Highly recommended!
The guy running the place is lovely. The bed and bedding were comfortable and warm. I liked the curtain across the bed. And the free breakfast I had was delightful.
Closer to the Mall Road so easy accessibility but secluded enough to avoid the hustle and bustle
The hostel has everything you need. The location is 700m away from the mall road and everything is available right at that spot. Service is great, the hosts and the staff are very friendly. Food is great and everything is neat and clean. The hosts are fun to hang out with and also have a lot of knowledge of the location. Overall, a great experience!
