He is the nicest person i've ever met and was an absolute delight to be with. Thanks to him for being so humble and helpful.😊I wish I had more days off to stay back at the hostel because Gostel has the energy to keep you there for longer than you would expect.You don't have to think twice before booking this place. I would like to come back to this place soon and hopefully stay longer. Thank you for making my journey a memorable one.Lots of love❀️

    I usually travel to North goa and this is my first time visiting South Goa. I am staying in Gostel from past 3 days and let me tell you, this is one of the best places ive ever visited, the Host of the property Loy, he knows the art very well, he is not a host but a good friend, he showed us place, he ensured that we are at comfort be it night day early morning or anything. He also accompanied us for dinner and lunch and ensured that we are comfortable and enjoying. Now let me talk about rooms , they are very clean, neat and hygienic with proper clean washrooms and Ac/Fan working everytime. They also provide healthy breakfast to kickstart the day. The beach is just a few minutes walking distance in case if anyone is looking for that. Overall this is one my memorable trips to South Goa and i have already made my next trip planning to this place. This urge everyone to visit atleast once and trust me you'll not regret even for a second. My rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thanks Loy and Gostel Team ❣️❣️

    Thank you gostel and specially loy for hosting us so beautifully. it is my first time in any hostel but the experience in gostel is unforgettable. i book for 2 days but because of loy and gostel atmosphere we extended extra 2 days. 4 days its feel like home. If you are any solo girl traveller gostel is best for you. It's best best hostel in south goa. It is proper backpackers hostel and the rate are very reasonable.Lastly I thank loy for evething you done for us. One day we didn't feel like we were staying in a hostel every day we felt like home. If I ever come back, I will always stay at gostel.Thank you so much gostel and specially Loy😊😊
