Trippr Gokarna - Beach Hostel

Please do not go by seeing the photos of the rooms. Although the beach is right outside the hostel, the private rooms are not clean. There is no access to hot water. Bathrooms are not clean and have mosquitoes and lizards. The towels and bedsheets are not washed properly. Rooms have a particular unpleasant smell. Not worth the money.

It's a beachfront mixed hostel with a cafe, amazing view of the sea and extremely friendly staff, located in Middle beach in close proximity to Sunset Cafe, OM DS Cafe and other well known cafe's, I would recommend this over Zostel if you are here to enjoy the food, sunset and occasional swim because of easy accessibility. Only downside being poor management of dorms and washrooms- they smell bad because of poor ventilation. Otherwise, Trippr is bang for the buck.

I took a private cottage if you can call it one. My god the experience was horrible. The rooms and cupboards filled with rats and cockroaches. The bed was broken and put into place with rocks. It was wobbling every time I got unto it or got down from it. The bathroom door latch was broken. I could go on and on. To make it worse when you complain to the manager. He gives a smirk and blames it on the workers. Don't get me started on the attached trippr restaurant. The food is horrible. There was a spider web on the glass in which I was served my black coffee. The two brothers/friends who manage it are the most incompetent and careless people ever. They just don't care about anything. It's like they do a favor on you by service over prices horrible meals and overprices rooms. P.S : I stayed two days at Devasamudra before coming to tripper and it is a zillion times better. There is no comparison. There cottage was a tad more expensive than tripper but was a 1000 times better. If you are short of budget. Take the Trippr bunk beds but never the cottage. If you have a decent budget then opt for Devasamudra. One final tip : Just don't eat at Trippr restaurant. You will fall sick for sure.

Awesome place to stay. The location is just perfect. right on the beach. The Dormitory was nice. The wash room was clean. It has a Cafe named Soul Cafe. It serves good food. You can walk from the Bus stop not too far. I went by auto since it was my first time.
