This place is the best, it felt like home. I came for 2 days and stayed for 10. So clean, good vibes, good food and the guys running the place are gems. Can't wait to return.

The hosts, Karthik and Sourabh are just amazing people who are simple and accommodating. They ensure that you are welcomed well and taken care of. Their recommendations are great too. The staff (housekeeping and cafe) are very courteous and kind hearted folks as well. Food at the in house cafe was lovely. The location was actually great since it was away from the hustle bustle of the Arambol town. The dorms are very comfortable and well maintained. And the cherry on the top is the amazing people that you meet at this hostel..... Overall - a wonderful experience visiting the Happy Panda Hostel that too on my 1st solo journey! #pandaforlife

Nothing. All was perfect.

Everything was great, lovely aircon female dorm with privacy curtain, light and chargers by the bed and with great staff and great people. Only stayed one night but will be back. Number 1 recommendation from everyone that lives in Arambol. Just rent a bike so you can wizz around the area with ease. Lovely little social area with books, drinks and games.

I’ve been travelling for long and I haven’t found a cleaner hostel. The 2 owners are super super helpful and nice. Very nice vibe. I couldn’t recommend it enough.

I had an amazing stay at Happy Panda Hostel! The vibe was fantastic, and I met some really great people. Sourabh, the owner, is super welcoming and makes you feel at home. The food was delicious, and the drinks were reasonably priced, making it a great place to relax and socialize.

It can get noisy at night but hey this is India...

So far the most clean place I have been to in India. Lovely people, lovely and helpful owners, good place to meet other travellers. The owner's dog Benji stole my heart!!!!

A beautiful hostel that is well equipped with big lockers and a really nice social room at the entrance. I like the extra touch like electrical outlet next to your bed alIt's super clean and the owners are always there for you if you need anything! If I return to Arambol, I'm definitely staying there again.

I returned back after a year being welcomed by two really nice peeps ( sourabh + kartik) who manage this beautiful hamlet. It feels like a home. It’s a small vintage property in close proximity of all major attractions. The food at their cafe is amazing.

Happy Panda is an incredible hostel. Sourabh and Kartic are amazing managers, enabling the social atmosphere and making the hostel feel like a home. “Can I extend one more night” should be the motto here… (By the way - it was never just one more night!) big love to the team and other travellers 🐼🫶🏻

I love Happy Panda! A great hostel, everything felt clean, the food was good, and the staff were amazing and super helpful. It’s a social hostel with a great atmosphere, love the upstairs yoga area. Perfect start to India travels :)

This place was so nice I had to stay twice! The owners are lovely and the place has a welcoming and social vibe. The rooms are clean and the beds have privacy with the curtains for when you need time alone. I feel the photos on booking.com don't do this place justice. Highly recommend!

Indian food from the kitchen, no spice or authentic flavour

The sweetest owners, the vibe, the cleanliness

Stayed in January 2025

What you’ll find there is: a wonderful vibe, cleanliness, comfortable beds, great food, amazing music, and a perfect location to explore Arambol. Whether you’re relaxing in the cozy common areas or heading out to the beach, there’s always something special about this place. Sourabh and Kartik are fantastic hosts who create a welcoming, homely atmosphere where you instantly feel relaxed. I can just highly recommend this place 🐼
