Rainbow Linings Hostel Palolem Goa

Super duper great hostel, with incredible social vibes. The owner (Nelson) is wonderful and super accomodating. He helped give us recommendations on where to go for sightseeing, gave contacts for motor bike rentals and also had incredible food recommendations (like absolutely stunning food recommendations) The beds and dorm are clean, and the ensuite bathroom in the 10 bed dorm is pristine. The stairs up to the bunks are convenient (stair type inside of ladder type). The social vibes with the large shared table out front is where the magic happens, and would highly recommend sitting yourself there for a while to have a chat. Will meet incredible people. The bed… can be a bit short, and the blanket thin. You can ask the staff for more blankets/thicker blankets which can help your sleep go a lot further. I also really love the no shoe policy inside the dormitory, makes everything super clean. And the location of the hostel is great too, short walk to Palolem Beach and great food within a 5-10 minute walk. The hostel also helps to do laundry too which is super helpful and also sells beer at the bar. Overall, would 100% come back again

It was my first solo and hostel trip in India, and I’m so glad I chose Rainbow Lining Hostel. Nelson is an amazing host, and the rooms were clean and spacious. I felt completely safe and comfortable throughout my stay. I also met some wonderful people and made great memories. I can’t wait to visit again. Thank you, Nel, for giving me such a fantastic experience!

I had an excellent experience at this hostel during my recent trip. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, going out of their way to share local tips and make check-in seamless. Rooms were spotlessly clean, beds super comfortable with good privacy curtains, and the shared kitchen was well-equipped for easy meals.

We reached at 9 am, the place was run down, not like the pictures in Hostelworld and when we asked if we can go to a toilette there was one dirty toilette with poo inside. We told the owner that we don’t want to stay here and he said we still have to pay and got really mad at us. He took a picture of us without asking. We told him the place doesn’t look like on the pictures and is dirty and he didn’t accept our complaint and said it’s not his fault that the toilet is not clean and flushed.

Have been coming to this place since 2018. Love this place to my absolute core. The rooms and washrooms are clean and spacious. Loy and Nelson manage this space well and ensure you do not feel left out. Highly recommend if you are a solo traveler
