    Everything was great!

    I went to Goa for the 10th time but It was my first time in a Zostel. And i think the decision was prefect! I love how the property makes you feel welcoming with their friendly and caring nature. They don’t treat you as guest, they look at you as a part of their own crew who is there to chill, enjoy which they ensure it happens while you don’t feel alone at all.

    Usually in India you get very early everywhere. I get there around 9, and the checkin was supposed to happen at 12. I end up waiting until 2:30. When asked, was before it was not enough staff (? The showers are not so neat. I don’t think that is the daily cleaning, but more about the walls.

    The atmosphere is really really nice. There’s a restaurant inside of the place, with excellent food with good prices. Green area with hammocks is super nice. In general staff were friendly. Sometimes I asked for recommendations, and I got a very standard fast answer. Like “not time to spend with you”

    Apparently this is not a party hostel but the music was playing loud till late (around 2am...) and people sitting outside made it impossible to get proper sleep. Toilets could be cleaned more often as a lot of people use them, it's not a big deal because the place is amazing anyway, but just saying, it's not very clean.

    Perfect place for solo travellers who want to meet people. Nice food in reasonable prices. There are free yoga classes and some basic gym equipment. The beach is super close, walking distance. Two dogs Boxer and Yogi are super friendly and they like cuddles. The owner is a very nice person. Very good vibes in general, I would stay again :)

    From the very first moment I felt welcomed. The atmosphere of the hostel is super warm, it attracts many nice poeple and the staff is very kind and friendly too. I stayed in the female dorm and it was pretty comfortable and quite. They also have wonderful café serving delicious Italian food and two amazing friendly doggos. Thank you for everything, I am gonna come back one day! :)

    There is nothing that I would like to add here as the hostel is one the best and that I want to definitely stay here for my future trips.

    I loved the hosts Ravi and Rahul who made sure that my stay goes smooth. The property is located at a perfect and quiet spot with common areas to chill and network with fellow travelers. The people here were really welcoming and the energy is exceptionally positive!

    Dreams was my first Hostel arriving to India and it couldn't have been any better. Ravi had answers and tips for everything I needed to know. He connected travelers with each other and made sure no one is left out. The hostel has lots of space to hang out and you can find peace but also good company. Really recommend to stay!

    We had a great time at Dreams Hostel. The common areas outside are spacious and comfortable, the garden is beautiful. Great to meet other travelers. We travelled as a couple and booked a private wooden cabin, which was the most expensive option, but worth it in my opinion. The beds are king size and comfortable and everything is very clean. The location is great, walking distance to the beach, and lots of bars and restaurants. It is also possible to buy food and drinks in the hostel, and there is a washing machine. Oh yes and dogs :) We arrived from Madgaon train station. It is possible to go to Vagator by public transport in around 3 or 4h, or take a taxi for about 1h30. Would definitely recommend Dreams Hostel, a great place to relax and unwind.

    Very Good

    I saw the washing machine was not connected to any draining pipe and all the dirty water and soap was leaked to the landfill. The world and specially India have an alarming contamination problem, in my opinion this kind of irresponsibility should not happen today in a place with such standards, where the owner is relatively young and seems open minded, just for the sake of making some extra rupees of profit. If for some technical reason the washing machine cannot be connected to a draining pipe, temporarily disallow using it or don't offer a washing machine service at all. My rating would be a 10 if this issue was solved.

    Very good vibe in the hostel, I spent more days than planned here because I felt really comfortable. There are common spaces to chill and work, as well as some greenery and hammocks which makes the stay very pleasurable. In terms of cleaning standards, I think it's above average compared to places of similar price range that I have been to in India so far. Also the location is good, there are few decent food options around and the beach is 5 min away by foot.

    I had an amazing stay here as a solo traveler. It was low season so not a huge amount of people around. But I like a quieter atmosphere so it worked well for me. And there was still quite a few of us to go out locally and explore / have some drinks at night. One of the best hostels I have stayed in for sure. Felt very at home! Would suggest sorting an international scooter license to get around though.
