Bibhitaki Hostels Palolem Beach

Great spot and very close to town. Spacious dorms and good aircon. And Loy, the guy running the place, is so kind and helpful. He’s very good at arranging social things, if you’re interested.

It would be helpful to put some hooks up in the dorm, as there’s no place to hang towels or wet clothes. And the geyser was not working, so cold shower… 😕

Location

Non AC female dom

Everything literally everything and especially the host Loy. He is very friendly and makes you feel at home.

Overall a very comfy and chill environment. Perfect for relaxation and solo trip

- 6 Bed No AC - 10 Bed AC we accidentally booked the non AC one, but the management was kind enough to move us to the AC dorms at no extra cost. We also requested them for a football match screening late at night and they accepted.

Few things I did not like - AC dorm room does not have any fans(ceiling or bedside), during the day it is impossible to sleep and at night it is barely manageable. Any dorm should have a ceiling fan, it’s a small thing. For a 10 bed dorm, it had 1 AC, our beds were near the AC so it was okay but I think it will be not be the case towards the other end of the room. - The AC in the restaurant, which had a pool table, was barely functional.

Loy was a fantastic host! The hostel is clean and well maintained and the courtyard is a great place to chat with other travellers.

Super leuke plek! Het was op een goeie locatie, je kom er ook eten bestellen en de kamers waren schoon en comfortabel! Het personeel was super vriendelijk en vooral Loy was geweldig, hij bracht me naar het station om 1 uur snachts en zorgde dat ik goed in de trein kwam.

Friendly and comfortable safe space

Mosquitos in the room

I was supposed to stay 4 days and I stayed 2 weeks. It feels like home. The hostel is situated between Palolem and Patnem, walkable distance from everything. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Special thanks to Loy who really tries his best to make your stay comfortable. He also has a lot of board games which makes easy to meet other people from the hostel and the restaurant. This is not a party hostel but a fun and friendly place where it is nice to hang out and meet likeminded people. The vegetarian and vegan restaurant just in front offers delicious meals (a bit expensive but it worths the price).

The cleaning could be better (dust, ants, etc) but there was already some improvement during my stay. Also I have my own sleeping bag liner but the duvet doesn’t have a cover and it doesn’t seem to be washed often.

The room was very stylish and super clean. The staff upgraded me to an A/C room even though I'd booked a fan room. I liked the location - a short walk from Palolem, and a 15 minute walk to Palolem. But the biggest pull was the community there - Loy was an amazing host and made my visit memorable. All in all, I'd highly recommend this if you're staying in Palolem.

The Staff and Service are Very Nice!!

Lovely staff, good food, nice vibe, clean dorms

I liked how sociable it is with the benches outside, anyone can sit and talk to meet other people in the property

Showers

Really nice place where to stay! Chill and relax vibes! The staff is super welcome, helpful and flexible! The female dorm was quite and clean! The cafè is also really good! Thanks

Ambience is amazing with plenty of space in the common area. The dorm is clean, spacious and equipped with a working AC. Bathrooms are well maintained. The staff are very friendly as well. They have a vegan cafe attached which is a must try

Nothing, it was perfect

Bibhitaki hostel is a truly wonderful hostel! My experience here was exceptional. The hosts are incredibly warm and helpful, always ready to assist with anything you need. They make you feel completely comfortable and at home. Their hospitality is amazing. You just have to try it once to feel the difference! Thank you, Bibhitaki team, for making my stay so pleasant. I will definitely come again and spend much more time here.

Personalen, viben, cafeet

Det sprang runt möss på innergården på nätterna. De kom dock inte in i rummen

The location is perfect, the place is cozy, and the staff are incredible — especially Loy. He’s a great guy with an amazing personality and very helpful.

There are some serious issues. The blankets don’t seem to be washed; only the sheets are changed while the same blankets are reused. Also, there are rats everywhere, especially at night — you can see them in the reception, the bar, and even running over the ceiling, which is very uncomfortable. Overall, hostels in this area are generally quite bad, so compared to the others, this is probably the best option available so far — but it still needs major improvements.

Location is 800 meter from Palolem Beach.

Dirty bedsheet and blanket. Dirty smell of rats. Rat poop everywhere even on bed. The luggage box was extremely smelly like animals. Very unhygienic.

I've had a really good time in this hostel. Amazing people, great food, good location. Very close to the beaches near by. It's nice and chill, people running in are lovely and very helpful. Highly recommend 👌

We went to the place with confirmed booking , but they said I have booked for cheap price through booking app. So they need more money and cannot allow for so cheap price if I pay more I can else… any other person shouldn’t face this it’s a horrible situation. They told its problem of booking.com and not there’s . I need to talk to booking.com to get it solved

Personeel, de sfeer, locatie. De female dorm was schoon en netjes. De binnenplek voelde als een gezellige woonkamer; gasten kwamen daar samen voor een kop koffie of een spelletje. Het personeel was echt ontzettend aardig en behulpzaam. Loy weet alle mooie en goede plekken in de buurt en neemt je het liefst overal mee naar toe. Heel leuk!

Friendly and professional staff. There’s a guy named Loy there that change the whole experience of the stay. Very kind, helpful and knows the best spots around. If youre traveling alone don’t worry, you’ll never feel alone. The food is also good and healthy. For the dorm price is 100% worth it!

No curtains,

Location

The room smelt like hospital. There was no stopper on the inside which felt a bit unsafe.

Common area with cool people to hangout in one of the days. Reasonably priced beer.

This hostel is terribly managed. The room smelled like mold and humidity, because they don't open the windows because of the mosquitos. Despite this, the mosquitoes still are there. I'm almost sure they don't change the sheets, as they were smelling bad. Had a terrible first night of sleep there. I regret booking two nights. Also because they have a restaurant, you cannot eat meals from outside there. Fortunately they opened an exception for the food I brought from home.

The food, the location

The mould in the rooms and the noise from people roaring and screaming all night long

The location is great, also the café with the hostel is a plus.

Rooms and bathrooms were cleaned once during four days. Average value for money.

The vibe here is incredibly cozy and inviting; the common area is filled with soft lighting, and interesting books that just make you want to curl up and relax after a long day of exploring. What truly makes this hostel shine, though, are the people. I met some of the most wonderful, open-minded travelers from all over the world, and we shared so many stories and laughs. The staff are the heart and soul of the place – they're not just employees, they feel like friends.

The place was clean, and the host was very helpful and attentive. He did his best to address and resolve any issues

There was a leakage in the room.

Near by Sea

nothing

The owner of the property is a good guy who knows how to talk to the guests and the cleaning didi named Sweety made the one night stay a bit better.

I booked my stay for one night but the staff at the reception was not at all welcoming, a bit rude, and made the atmosphere feel a bit cold.

It is a secluded place in south goa. Perfect to enjoy some isolation… The pool table made our stay even better… I recommend it if you are in south goa

Very friendly staff and top notch cleanliness

Food is overpriced. Even a simple tea costs 200rs and doesn’t taste like a 10rs tea from road side stall

Cafe is very aesthetic ✨️ loved the property rooms are clean and food are amazing front desk are polite and very helpful best service got so far genuinely impressed by the value for money.

clean rooms and bathroom beds were comfortable great value for money felt like home cafe food is amazing excellent service all thanks to Alem and Mar for their hospitality and guiding us throughout our stay.

Nice cosy place, close to the beach.

Nice common spaces to enjoy, clean bathrooms, helpful staff.

Really bad mattresses in dorm

The staff was extremely polite and kind, the atmosphere was peaceful, and the vegan food was delicious and beautifully presented.

The women’s dorm didn’t have an AC or even a single ceiling/portable fan—only small individual fans, which didn’t really help in the hot weather. Especially since other dorms had AC, even a simple standing fan would have made a big difference.

Size of room

Being told to move room Location for me is a little away from beach and main area

Peaceful, comfy and good dorms

Bibhitaki is a peaceful hostel and safe for solo women travelers. I felt almost like home as the rooms were cleaned daily. I chose female dorm which does not have AC - but it feels good at night with every bed having a personal fan and reading light. The beach is nearby and there are multiple options for food in the locality if you want a break from vegan menu. The staff is also proactive polite, and helpful - ensuring everything is taken care of. Overall, a great long stay, and my days passed by quickly!

There are power cuts sometimes, but that is around the area and causes minor inconveniences. There is no space to do yoga or yoga mats are not available - these would be a good addition as many yoga enthusiasts come to the hostel. There is a bit of a mosquito issue but they provide odomos and incense sticks to deal with them. Overall, these are minor stuff that one can overcome.

They have a pool table.

Cute outdoor area and close to facilities

Very hot in the dorm and one night there was horrendous karaoke played until midnight. Disappointing as the property was advertised as calm

Amazing experience at Bibhitaki! The dorm was spacious and fresh with ac, the staff incredibly kind and helpful, the atmosphere cozy and the food healthy and delicious. I felt really well there and I met a lot of solo travellers.

The vibes of the cafe, the food (so many good dishes in the menu!), and the pool table :)

Some of the stuff were friendly and the restaurant was really good, the food and the area to sit. The room was okay

One guy of the stuff was very unfriendly and when we had a question he was super annoyed and did not help us. There was not really hot water in the shower

cute, good food, social

extra charge 200Rs for early check in (just to use the shower) and the bed didn’t get made until after check in time.

Location, facilities and vegan food

Staff could have been more helpful. Stayed for 3 days and still got charged for early check in when the best was available.

Good staff, Karoke nights, property manager vijay is great
