When I visited Funky Monkey there was a 10pm curfew in place in Goa, imposed by the government. This meant no excessively loud parties or music outside after 10pm. Whilst this was a little surprise initially, we quickly realised this wasn’t so bad at Funky Monkey. Myself and a bunch of fellow solo travellers ended up staying much longer than planned! I believe that is testament to a lovely hostel and those who work hard there. The staff managed to facilitate plenty of fun despite the restrictions, and we had a great time. There seems to be a good balance between all aspects of the hostel experience here - you can have a good time with your new found pals, go exploring, eat some good food at the hostel or somewhere nearby (fish thali at Sahil’s is out of this world and only a short walk away), or chill out and generally just have an awesome time. The communal bar and lounge areas are big but cosy with plenty of room for several groups. It’s very inviting for socialising and functions well. There’s an abundance of rescued animals lounging around, soaking up the affection offered to them! Otherwise they just happily laze around in the sun, or sing along during open mic night. The dorms are as expected and serve their purpose. The ladies dorm shower did require a particular nack to activate the hot water but this was easily resolved by a query to staff. The staff are so friendly, accommodating and helpful. All super chilled but attentive - nothing is too much trouble. Big up to the kitchen staff for making delicious food. Staff really make the difference at hostels, and these guys are a cut above the rest. Big up Shraddha for the lovely morning coffee chats, Musir for the amazing cocktails and endless smiles, and Rohit for the fun guidance and impeccable vibes. This place is perfect if you’re looking for a relaxed but fun place to stay in Anjuna.…

I visited goa in July for a workation and stayed for almost 2 weeks at this amazing hostel. We reached the hostel at around 6 in the evening, the staff was absolutely welcoming and helpful, they went an extra mile to help us settle down. The hostel is very well maintained and beautiful with a vintage and homely vibe. It is located close to Curlies and Artjuna, there is a view point near this hostel which I absolutely loved. There are a couple of amazing food trucks nearby which you should absolutely try. We stayed in a 6 bed mix dorm which was clean, had good air conditioning, large lockers, and a lovely common area to chill around. The food is absolutely amazing, every dish we tried was very tasty and it always felt like homemade food. Most of the time we had our breakfast and lunch at the hostel. They served amazing cocktails and were more than happy to customise them as per our requests (PS: Shoutout to "Shraddha" #cutestbartender). Special mention to "Vandana" (she is a sweetheart) for bearing with us and helping us out with literally everything we needed. I would also like to thank "Rohit" for all the crazy jamming sessions and "Musir" for all the help. Thank you soooo much guys for serving us with all that love and making our stay sooooooooo amazing. It was indeed a wonderful time spent there.…

Staying at funky monkey is an amazing experience. The hostel is clean, green and has a great vibe. It’s a five minute walk to Anjuna beach. There are some good cafés nearby. Hostel also has its own in-house menu which is homely and freshly made. The best best best part is they have dogs and cats in hostel which they’ve rescued. It’s a beautiful sight to see them being cared for. I loved seeing the cats and dogs lazing around in the Sun and being doted on by the staff and guests. Rohit, Iqbal, Shraddha and Vandana run everything smoothly and are always there to help. You’d meet a lot of diverse people and hear their stories. Don’t think my stay could’ve been more awesome than it was. :)

Recently, I stayed in Funkey Monkey Hostel for my workcation. The hostel is based in Anjuna, which happens to be great location to explore nature as well as famous party places like Shiva Valley, Curlies, and Hill Top among other famous pubs and clubs. People managing the hostel are really helpful and take all the efforts to make you feel like home. I would like to appreciate and give my regards to Rohit, Vandana, Shraddha, Musir, Chef and all the remaining staff to make me feel like I am not away from home during my whole stay. The hostel has combination of dorms and private rooms, whole property was clean as well as the rooms are spacious. The food at this hostel is like 10/10, many people from other hostels use to visit Funkey Monkey just to get their breakfast, lunch or dinner. I wanna thanks Vandana (restaurant manager) to help me with all the special and customised order. Last but not least, do try their awesome and customised cocktails made by Shraddha (bar manager), she has serious talent and her own way of making alcohol taste more delicious!! Overall, I am gonna rate my stay 9.5/10 based on my experience of more than three weeks. I feel like I actually found second home in Goa and any trip to Goa will be incomplete without The Funkey Monkey Hostel 🥂…

As the name suggests, the hostel does have a 'funk'ey vibe to it. It is one of the most economic accommodations that i would suggest for solo travellers travelling to/through Anjuna and also to couples/family/friends to experience hostel life. The hostel managers are great hosts and very friendly. You would not feel lonely at all being there and at the same time nobody is going to ruin the sanctity if you wished for a quiet time by yourself. I spent about a week in the hostel and had taken up a bed in one of the dorms. They are well maintained, clean and NOBODY DISTURBS ANYBODY! Their in-house bar and restaurant offer a good menu. Their chicken sandwich and pastas are dam yummy. The bar was under reconstruction when I had visited, but they were providing alcohol in the common areas or where one could eat. By the time season starts the bar is going to be fully functional and then you might not have to step outside to party, the hostel itself being a party place. The hosts are giving shelter to a few cats and dogs and that's what I loved about them. So if you're a dog person or a cat person, BINGO! Coming to the bestest part about my entire stay is that I had visited in the MONSOON! The hostel is located at such a place that you will see the maximum green around you. There is a small cliff very close to the hostel. It is about a 3-4 mins walk from the hostel, which leads to the backside of Curlies. I watched the most beautiful sunsets from there. Watching the ocean is definitely a therapy. I would recommend people to go stay there atleast once and experience the best for yourself!…

Located in a cozy corner of North Goa we found the beautiful and serene property of "The Funkey Monkey Hostel", with the beautiful Anjuna beach only a few short steps away. As welcoming as the hostel is and its great vibe is, all thanks to its awesome caretakers Shraddha, Vandana, Rohit and gang who made me feel right at home. I have found a lifelong friendship in the folks at the hostel as well as with my fellow backpackers who stumbled upon this beautiful property. Never before has end of a hostel stay made me not want to leave, but the Funkey Monkey family has changed that and I cannot wait to meet my friends there soon. To the more materialistic things, the hostel's chef Nikhil is a maestro with the most delicious yet homely food I have ever had in any hostel before. If you are staying in North Goa then Anjuna happens to be at the center of it and rest of the N. Goa is easily accessible in all the directions, which makes your decision to stay at Funkey Monkey a no-brainer. Needless to say the hostel upkeep and cleanliness was way beyond what I had experienced before at other hostels, so kudos for that. In conclusion a stay at Funkey Monkey is absolutely recommended if you are looking for a chilled place with a great vibe. P.S. Try Shraddha's signature watermelon-gin cocktail or hot-toddy (you can find her and Vandana rocking the hostel bar).…
