Mandala House

DO NOT VISIT THIS FILTHY PLACE. Absolutely ridiculous service. Very rogue people. Completely not safe at all. Very disgusting place who. 5-10 stray dogs were roaming inside. When you are in a difficult situation they take advantage and take money from you. We had reached late night around 11.30 am for dinner. We had ordered chicken fried rice and went to play pool. The food came after 1hr. A stray dog came and ate the food. We notified the server and him being a nice guy agreed to replace the food. After half an hour another guy came back saying it is our fault we need to pay extra for the new order. By then It was 1 am. After 15 mins he comes back saying it will take another hour. We knew we were being played. We questioned very reasonably. The staff were very arrogant, especially the cook who serves mediocre food. People here need to learn the meaning of courtesy and humanity. Its very unhygienic, dirty washroom, dog shit everywhere. Very disgusting

Really disappointing experience at Mandala Party Hostel. We ordered a Cosmopolitan, but it was extremely weak. When we told the staff that the drink was not a proper Cosmopolitan and clearly lacked the right amount of alcohol heis response was, we normally don’t make it strong because it affects people. That sounded really like a ridiculous excuse. Instead, they suggested a “special” cocktail for 500 saying would give us a strong effect. We tried it and it tasted like kokum curry. There was no noticeable effect at all. After that they tried to sell us another “special” drink which i felt just an attempt to keep making us spend more. The pizza was also disappointing i had to just eat because i had spent money and the DJ was also very poor. Overall the drinks food and music were all below expectations. Definitely not worth the money.

I had a wonderful stay at Mandala House Hostel in Goa. The vibe of the place is absolutely amazing — very positive, relaxed, and welcoming. It’s the perfect spot if you’re looking to meet new people while still enjoying a peaceful and comfortable stay. The rooms and common areas are clean and well-maintained, and the overall atmosphere makes you feel right at home. The staff is friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist, which made my stay even better. The service was smooth and well-organized from check-in to check-out. One of the best parts is that they also have a café on-site, which is super convenient. The food and drinks are great, and it’s a nice place to chill, work, or hang out with fellow travelers.

I stayed at Mandala Guesthouse during my 10-day solo trip, and honestly, it became one of the highlights of my entire journey. As a solo traveler, you always hope to find a place that feels welcoming, comfortable, and full of good people—and Mandala exceeded every expectation. From peaceful mornings with beautiful views to fun-filled party nights, every day brought something new. I experienced everything here: rainy days, sunny weather, quiet moments, unforgettable conversations, and incredible friendships. What makes this place truly special is the atmosphere. It's not just a hostel; it's a community. Whether you're looking to relax, connect with fellow travelers, or simply enjoy the surroundings, this place has a unique energy that makes you feel at home from day one. A huge thank you to the owner, who is one of the most kind, supportive, and involved hosts I have ever met. I've stayed in many places, but I've rarely seen an owner so genuinely connected with guests and so passionate about creating a memorable experience for everyone. Their presence and dedication make a real difference. The staff deserves equal appreciation. They are friendly, caring, and incredibly welcoming. They don't treat you like a customer—they treat you like a friend. By the end of my stay, it felt like I had gained a new family away from home. During these 10 days, I arrived as a solo traveler but never felt alone. I met amazing people, shared countless laughs, created unforgettable memories, and experienced the perfect mix of peace, adventure, and celebration. If you're thinking about staying here, don't hesitate. Mandala Guesthouse is more than just a place to sleep—it's a place where strangers become friends and memories are made for a lifetime. Thank you for making my solo trip so special. I will definitely be back someday.
