• Shreedhar (6/5): -

• Anonymous (9/5): Superb -
• Girish (8/5): Very good -
• Laura (6/5): Pleasant - Felt very at one with nature, very friendly staff, good food at the cafeteria Music until 11 at night, very firm bed and pillows
• Chloe (6/5): Pleasant - The food was good and accommodating hosts. Music on until 11pm very very loud every night! But cute place with good basic facilities

• Alsha (9/5): A Perfect Getaway at Island Vibes, Sanapur, Hampi - I recently stayed at Island Vibes in a beautiful cottage that provided all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. The best part of this place is the enchanting ambience, complemented by the presence of two golden retrievers, Charlie and Simba, who are incredibly friendly. There’s also a sweet cat named Lilly, and I thoroughly enjoyed spending time petting her. The food was absolutely delicious, and my two-night stay at Island Vibes gave me the much-needed break to relax and recharge. Tony, who manages the property, deserves a special mention. From arranging bikes to suggesting must-visit places and cautioning us against scams, he ensured that everything was taken care of seamlessly. His dedication to his work is commendable, and I wish him all the best. While the stay was excellent, there were a couple of minor drawbacks. The cottages don't have geysers, but Tony is happy to arrange for hot water if you let him know. Additionally, you might spot baby frogs in the washroom, though I personally didn’t mind this at all.
• Madhubabu (6/5): Pleasant -
• Sindhu (7/5): Good - It’s okay average
• Neha (1/5): Terrible experience. - Nothing. The food was horrible, the staff would take a very long time to send it and needed multiple prompts to get it ready. The crowd is weird and that place itself doesn't attract decent people. The shower didn't have hot water and the hotel doesn't provide any toiletries/towels, etc
• Subhadip (1/5): Bad - Food is great, probably one of the best in Hampi. Lot of people staying in other places in come here to eat. The staff is also very friendly and accommodating - they will make the food as per your preference and will always serve with a smile. Room is pathetic 0/5 - probably one of the worst places I have stayed especially at this price- here's why. I stayed from 24-27 Dec, and paid over 10k for a double sharing room. 1. The room has no proper walls, it made of bamboo mats, hence there's insects and little frogs that come inside the room. There was quite a bit of mosquitoes too in the evening - we had to put a coil and a repellent oil to be able to stay. 2. The room lacks basic amenities - there is no basic cupboard to keep your clothes, just one bed side table with one small rack. Even the bed is not comfortable and the pillows given were so thin that is felt like sleeping without pillows. There's one small hanging mirror and few hooks on top of the mirror. There is no AC as well - we didn't mind that as it was winter, but in summer it would no be ok. 3. Bathroom is pathetic - No geyser, no bathroom mirror, no proper rack to keep your toiletries. + it was not the cleanest on and there were several small frogs inside. Hot water for bathing was given in the bucket by the staff if you ask for it. 4. No room service - we stayed for 3 days in which there was no room service given - there was no cleaning of bathroom or even basic dusting of the room or the bed. 5. No drinking water provided, your have to buy - everywhere the property provides at least 1 water bottle and then if you need more you would have to buy. Here even that was not given - you have to buy water bottles - and there is no provision of getting water in a jug or something like that.
• Gupta (1/5): Not worth - Nothing Everything
• Nandkishor (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ajith (6/5): Pleasant - Night visuals are stunning outside the hut. The cafe had a calm vibe where one can relax on the mattress laid on the ground. Hut built quality was okayish. There is no proper privacy in the bathroom. Some gaps in the bathroom door were see-through. Expensive breakfast (not more expensive than other similar places).
• Yashath (7/5): Good -
• Suraj (8/5): Very good -
• Himanshu (10/5): Exceptional -
• Hemanth (9/5): Superb - Ambience, staff members, especially Tony and his brother was so good approachable and helpful. Lacking hot water in room, they can have geyser setup in the room to improve customer facilities.
• Vijesh (10/5): Exceptional -

• Ganesh (10/5): Hampi road trip - Ambience, food, rooms NA
• Anne (10/5): Exceptional -
• Abhijit (9/5): Really good experience, especially the staff is very kind, helpful and polite. - I had an amazing 3-day stay at Island Vibes in Hampi with my friends. The place was great, but what made it truly special were the people. Toni and Golu, who run the place, were incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. Toni even lent me his personal bike to explore Hampi on the last day, and Golu and I enjoyed some wonderful guitar sessions at night. Despite checking out later than planned, they were very understanding. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, made even better by the friendly and welcoming hosts!
• Sameer (8/5): Very good -
• Bhavesh (8/5): Very good -
• Shreeraj (4/5): Not a good stay for family visit - Vibe - only if you travel with friends. Staffs are friendly and helpful Not fit for a family No hot water provided for us citing no cylinder available, had to wait for an hour or so but we wanted to check out. Accessibility is hard for old age people 15-16kms far from tourist spots of hampi Slow service for food orders No power back, after complaining got a generator.
• Sinead (10/5): Exceptional - Loved my stay here so much. The staff are so helpful and nice. They really go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need. The rooms are really great value for money, the food is all really good. I ate all of my meals there and everything was yum. Cool hang out space with really lovely evening hangouts and the dog is freaking adorable. Thanks for a really lovely stay guy !!
• Ayub (10/5): The best - Hands Down the best place to stay in Hampi. Sweetest people Golu, Tony, Anji and everyone. The rooms are good, Food is Great, Hospitality is Spectacular. Place is on the main road, Don't plan anything they will take care of your rental bike or auto, spa, food and coracle ride actually. Both my Jio & Airtel sims has good network, you should not be worried about it. Food menu is much more higher level than most of the cafes in Hyderabad. The live music, the vibe, Simba its all worth the extra money u might have to put in for internal travel. Nothing much
• Shukla (8/5): Very good -
• Kiran (7/5): Good -
• Kp (9/5): Superb - Eating sitout was super , staff was very friendly and helpful. Very Good location, cost efficient. Lack of mirror in the room, no hot water supply in the bathroom, broken bathroom door latch.

• Venkatesh (7/5): Good -

• Michael (10/5): Two of us drank 37 beers in 2 days. Can you beat that? - The food was amazing. The paneer butter masala made my heart sing. The staff were really friendly and the dog Simba was a very good boy. Walking distance to great sunset spots and places to swim. Toilet didn’t flush great
• Sriram (10/5): Exceptional -
• Pooja (10/5): Exceptional -
• Esther (9/5): You don't want to leave - Amazing! Only six huts and a restuarants that caters to other guests as well. Pretty surroundings and very close to beautiful Hampi! Great kitchen - lots of options and everything tasted great! Staff was very friendly and accomodating. They have several sweet dogs; Simba is a real character! In the evening they like to play house music. Not to everyone's taste. Feel free to ask to turn the volume down. There is a busy road and a mosk next to the accomodation; they won't wake you up after some getting used to.
• Eamon (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sharon (8/5): Best restaurant and best team in Hampi - The staff is amazing! Friendly and helpful. The restaurant is the best in Hampi area. Really tasty and great service. The rooms are close to the road, which can be (especially weekend) noisy at night. The restaurant is few meters from the room and early sleep is not possible due to the music.
• Shreyas (9/5): Superb -
• Thea (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing stay!!
• Britt (9/5): Cozy stay - Very friendly and helpful stuff. We felt comfortable straight away. Would e lovely to have 2 night stands next to a double bed and a little drawer to put a backpack or suitcase on. Other than that - cozy room!

• Hari (8/5): Very good -
• Vengal (9/5): Superb -
• Ann-kathrin (8/5): Very good - Good vibes, helpful and caring staff, perfect location for bouldering. Very loud and noisy bungalow who needs some fix and deep cleaning.
• Temkar (1/5): Bad -
• Laurynas (9/5): Superb - Very friendly staff, good restaurant, live music. Also had interesting chats with other guests. A bit close to the road so there is some noise.

• Aarti (9/5): Superb -
• Verma (8/5): Very good -
• Dene (10/5): Beautiful vibes. I met some wonderful people and made some good friends. - Amazing place and staff. Hampi is like a different world from a fantastic dream. Really enjoyed staying at island vibes and exploring that side of the river. Food was awesome. The staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was good. We even got to do a little jamming on some djembes and guitar they have in the restaurant. Beautiful vibes. I met some wonderful people and made some good friends. Highly recommend. Same owner has another place similar to this one called Sun Down not to far 😊🙏🏽✌🏽🫶🏽 A lot of people mentioned the music. They were open to playing some different music when I requested 🫶🏽
• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
• Vaibhav (10/5): Exceptional -
• Katy (7/5): Good -
• Edibe (9/5): We had an amazing time and loved the owner and staff! - First of all, wow, the owner and the staff are just amazing. They really make the place such a nice place to stay at. They’re friendly, welcoming, funny and extremely helpful. The location is nice (next to some shops), the food was tasty, and the morning music (Indian chanting/music) is a delight to wake up to. In the evening there’s sometimes live drumming, which is really nice. The place needs some minor improvements (the western music in the evening is a bit outdated and hard for the customer crowd, the toilets in the common area can be a bit cleaner, also putting soap there would be nice).
• Shinya (6/5): Pleasant - Staff was kind Food was delicious Atmosphere was so nice No toilet paper, shower was so cold. Towel was not soft.
• Sai (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kapil (6/5): Pleasant -
• Vincent (5/5): Passable - Ambience was good restaurant was good staff were very helpful There was no electricity for one whole night. No candles no emergency lights so had to spend with torch lights.mobiles could not be charged. Also there were lot of mosquitos
• Matthew (7/5): Good value for money with friendly staff. Less good location. - Friendly staff were very helpful with recommending things to do and very accommodating of our early check in. The restaurant food and atmosphere was good. Good value for money. The location was less good - it is quite far from the bus points in Hosapete. Thankfully Island Vibes were accommodating with letting us enter early.
• Michael (9/5): Superb -
• Kulkarni (8/5): Very good - Amazing food, amazing vibe. 10/10 Rooms 4/5. Frequent power outages. But the place is good and you get a great a rural and remote vibes.
• Tejashwini (10/5): Value for money. The best stay - The Ambience of this place is just amazing. We were welcomed with a very smily face of imu🤗. He is the best owner I have met. He made sure that we were comfortable in our 3 days of stay. He also made arrangements of our travel and guided us for the itenary. The food was also delicious and true to price. It is a must visit place for stay..
• Ismail (10/5): Exceptional -
• Arun (7/5): Good -
• Ingram (8/5): Very good - The staff were very helpful & friendly, the food adequate & varied enough to accomodate all tastes. The rooms wonderfully simple & rustic, reminiscent to me of the early days of Goa in the 60s. A very comfortable, open sided & relaxing main room for dining & hanging out. The place itself on the edge of the village is delightful with paddy fields across the road & a small shrine a mere 50 yards away. Finally each morning is introduced by a gentle chanting played on the sound system to set the tenor of the day. A place to unwind, simple, unpretentious & quiet The volume of the music in the evening & sometimes the choice of music, a driving monotonous, unrelenting beat of techno for a couple of hours is not my cup of tea. Too much of a contrast to the morning & the place itself.
• Amarnath (9/5): Nice and cosy! - Nice and cosy. Immu the property manager is very friendly and helpful. Food is excellent The beverage 🍷 is slightly overpriced
