The hostel absolutely reflects its name. Location wise- very near to the beach and the main city. Surrounding wise- greenery everywhere, hammocks, outdoor space, good restaurant, locals living nearby to have a little bit of the local experience. They also have yoga classes in the morning. Staff are very helpful as well. This place is a vibe in itself.

Everything was fantastic. The beach view, the location, the nearby walks, the waterfall trip we took (via the property), and all the people I met at Zostel Gokarna were incredible! I ended up staying eight nights when I originally only booked two, and made twenty-plus friends whom I plan to visit elsewhere in India in the future. It was awesome!

I stayed here for 6 days and 5 nights. I was travelling solo and i am glad I stayed there. Kudle beach is perfect location for whoever wants to visit gokarna. Its relatively smaller than main beach and that is the beauty of it. It has ample of sunset and sunrise points nearby. Kudle beach itself is west facing, so you can experience sunsets here. This was my first time traveling solo, my host Harsh Patel was sweet and understanding guy. He helped me throughout the trip and suggested me ways to make trip a better experience for me. He was really helpful. I met a lot of solo travelers at tusker tribe. Everyone was full of energy and loved the vibe here. Its a budget friendly hostel, it was perfect for me as I stayed for long time. All the basic facilities which are required for living, were present. Water did not runout single day at tusker tribe as compared to other hostels where there were water problems. I did not feel lonely at all. I made lot of new friends there, Harsh, Suresh Bhai, Tribhuvan, Molly to name a few among others. All were very pleasant to socialize and this is the soul of tusker tribe. Seeing phytoplanktons was the high point of my trip, which I saw at kudle beach itself.

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    I loved Trippr. The Managers and Volunteers, Praveen Mathew and Praveen Babu, and now a volunteer, Darshan, they are the best. Best friends for a backpacker. The Hostel is right in front of the beach, you can stay in Tent, open it and see the beach, take a dip, take a shower and chill. Loved it

    Amazing hostel & a clean property. The hosts take extra effort everyday to make your stay comfortable & your time in GoKarna worth it. They are involved with every guest & provide you with a community experience. Hosts have great suggestions for places to visit & food options to try. Accessibility to the beach & the view from the property are the cherry on top. I'd 100% recommend Revibe to every backpacker visiting GoKarna.

    I was supposed to stay for couple of days and I ended up extending my booking for 2 weeks. Definitely one of the best hostels I had in India so far. Nice common spaces, good food, clean dorms and very beautiful people!

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at Hostel Exp, and I wanted to share my positive experience. The hostel's vibrant atmosphere and friendly staff made my stay memorable. The dormitory was clean and well-maintained, and the beds were comfortable. The common areas provided a great space to socialize and meet fellow travelers.

    I highly recommend this place for solo or group travelers, especially women. It's safe, near a clean beach, and offers enjoyable activities in the evenings. The rooms are spacious, well-ventilated, and maintained with clean bathrooms. The hosts, Guru, Karadi, and Chandan, are excellent and go out of their way to cater to guests' needs. A special shout-out to Bhushan for his impressive fire act. Having stayed in numerous hostels across India, this is one of the places where I truly had a great time.

    Great location in front of the beach with good value for money. Sammy is flexible (I could sleep in my hammock for a cheaper price), smiling, hospitable, helpful, empathic, very nice and with beautiful vibes. Some other members of the staff are nice too, like Shree and also Laxmi who helped me to wear my saree. Very safe for the luggage. You can also use a safe box if you bring your padlock.l Nice for meeting young indian people. The toilets and the place are cleaned all day long.
