The place has a nice atmosphere and the staff is really helpful and sympathetic. The food they serve there is amazing and quite cheap. The dorms are clean and the toilets too.

The location is not the best in Arambol, but it's not far from the places you will end up going while staying in Arambol.

Had such an amazing time here — seriously, highly highly recommend! Met some truly beautiful humans, ate way too much yummy food, and now regretting not booking all my days here. 😄 Kartik and Sourab are absolute gems… the way they run this hostel, keep everything spotless, and treat guests like family is just 👏❤️ Also, I’m 100% sure they’ll never forget me after the ‘couple joke’ incident… ha ha! Too iconic to erase!"

What didn’t I like? That past-me booked too few days..Present-me is very disappointed in her🫠🫠

Sourabh and Karthik will make sure you're comfortable and well taken care of. I came for 2 day stay and extended my stay for next 5 days, I didn't change hostel. my friends were in other hostel, visited those hotels but those hostel didnt have the good energy vibe that i was looking for. Vibe is incredible , welcoming , full of energy in Happy Panda. Hostel provides free Wi-Fi more then 200mbs speed so you can do your WFH at ease. AC and Non AC dorms are spacious, well-ventilated, and equipped with secure locker for your belonging, clean bedsheets are provided everyday (6 friendly staff works under Sourabh and Karthik always ready to help if your need any assistance yeah) Non AC dorms with separate fan placed for each bed and that fan breeze in morning, WOW it cools and comforts you so much that you don't want to get out of bed. Any Events , Shows , Parties, Restaurants or anything in Goa especially Arambol that you're not sure of, please ask Kartik and Sourabh (in particular) he tells you the vibe of that place, its so accurate that you would enjoy that place alot Sourabh suggested me to visit Cafe S F Xaview for traditional goa restaurant for lunch as i was heading it back to Mapusa. Ordered Fish thali for 270rs. it had 5 sea food different dishes in thali. had beef dishes also wow , I loved these dishes. will visit this hidden gem restaurant in Mapusa again when i am back to Goa. Thank you Sourabh. Sourabh and Kartik knows which place has best Resturant and other activities. so close your eyes and stay in Happy Panda. you would love it for sure. I really enjoyed my stay in Happy Panda Thank you (Sourabh and Kartik)
