Madpackers Goa Anjuna - Bar

Arrangements around

Worst rooms, zero wifi, no range, no good crowd, no one to look for

I stayed at Madpackers Hostel in Anjuna for just one night, and honestly, it was one of the worst hostel experiences I’ve had. I booked this place simply to rest before my overnight bus the next day, but getting proper sleep was impossible. The biggest issue was actually the staff themselves. Late at night, the guy handling check-in was sitting inside the dorm talking loudly with guests at midnight while people were trying to sleep. They were also smoking inside the dorm, which is completely unacceptable. There were cigarette packets and cigarette butts lying on the floor. When the people managing the property don’t respect basic hostel rules, you can imagine the kind of environment it creates. The guests in the room were also extremely loud the entire night. People were shouting, arguing, and one girl kept vomiting in the washroom repeatedly. The whole atmosphere felt chaotic and uncomfortable instead of safe or restful. The dorm and bathroom conditions were also very poor. Broken handles, damaged taps, peeling paint, bad smell, no proper ventilation or natural light in the washroom. The pillow felt very old and uncomfortable, and the AC barely worked for a 10-bed dorm. Check-in was also badly handled. Even though beds were available, I had to wait until 2 PM, which I respected because it was official check-in time. But even after that, the process was disorganized and slow, with staff acting careless and uninterested whenever guests raised issues. One of the worst parts was that someone actually took my sandals from beside my bed during the night. There are no lockers, so security already feels weak. When I asked the staff for help, they simply said they didn’t know and suggested I buy new sandals. No effort to check CCTV or help properly. I eventually found my sandals myself in another dorm near another guest. The entire building feels neglected, like nobody really cares about maintenance, guest comfort, or security.

The power issue there generator is not switching when power out. That time no electricity and wifi connections, poor wifi network in room some rooms doesn't have mobile signals (jio). 1 took for 2 days last a employee who drunken and slept inside the bathroom with locked from inside. We lost 3 hours of sleep because of that,finaly the receptionist came and broken the lock with hammer. I heppend between 11pm -2am, because of this we lost our sleep qnd our next day whole planning was ruined . I will not suggest and not support anyone to take this. Compleat bad experience.
