The staff including volunteers are so friendly , funny and wonderful people very fun always hosting events and fun nights for guests on the rooftop Great cocktail guy on the bar Comfortable large rooms Nice chefs making food until late when they work hard all day

Weird security outside . Forcing music to be turned down and sending people to bed at 12am . He made us feel uncomfortable as he was pressuring the staff and watching us until we went to sleep

The location is superb, you can literally walk barefoot for 1 minute and you will reach the beach. The staff are so helpful and accommodating and really made it feel like home. The shared room I was in was immaculately clean and refreshed every day with new toilet paper and clean floors etc

The only thing would be the mattress was quite thin and uncomfortable. Similar to other guests I found it difficult to find the entrance. If you are on the main round (before you turn down the main beach road) look out for a sign that has Mamoos. There is a wide alley way that leads you to the hostel

Loved the location of the hostel. It's super close to the beach and the market is within walking distance. The staff are super friendly and help you in any way they can. They beds are comfortable, and everything is very clean. I even ended up extending my stay.

The AC in the dorm was in a weird position - they have bunk beds in the room and if you leave the AC on at night it gets super cold for the people sleeping in the bottom bunk (in spite of increasing the temperature). But you can't switch it off because then it gets super stuffy for the people on the top bunk. It was a bit of a hassle. I wish they would get normal ceiling fans as an option as well, so that the rooms can be ventilated if people want to switch the AC off or something - the fans now just don't help.

One of the nicest hostels I ever stayed in. I slept in both the female dorm and mixed dorm, both are great. Everything feels really new, clean (cleaned every day), and the dorms are well isolated. The beds even have a little rope thing that you can put your scarf on to make a sort of curtain. Especially the female dorm is really spacious. The staff is nice and they also organise a lot of free cool activities. Like bachata class, yoga, karaoke etc. Furthermore the location is perfect. It’s right in palolem but you walk from the main road through some bush and that feels much more relaxed, to be around green. And it’s just a 100 m walk to the beach without having to pass any shop or restaurant. Sooo nice.

The blankets sometimes smelled a little bit funky. So that’s the only thing.

Manager AJ is a legend!

When it comes to staying in Palolem I would say don't think twice just book it, if they have availability. I have been to couple of hostels in Palolem , I can assure you this is the best hostel in the vicinity. The staff is very friendly, the location of the hostel is best just 10 steps from beach. You can just take a swim without a need to wear slippers.  I came here in December and here I came back again in Holi. I have seen the best celebration on both of the occasions. We played holi from morning till evening without any breaks whatsoever. People from other hostels were coming to play holi in Jungle as it was not celebrated anywhere else. I have played holi like I use to play back home as a child after a good 8 years.  I met some of the best solo backpackers here and made very good friends. Coworking space is also very well maintained and very good if you have to travel and work. 

It was clean. I liked the activities they had every evening. And the staff was helpful. There were a lot of facilities you won't get at usual hostels.

It was a bit difficult to find the location. It's not exactly beachfront. It's a five minutes walk from the beach via a narrow passage

We tried multiple hostels in Palolem but nothing could beat the vibes at Jungle by strumfrei. The place is clean, has large rooms, and the hosts are very welcoming. Pooja and Tanisha were hosting events almost everyday and we had a lot of fun participating. Abhishek and other hosts helped us with any concerns about the room, travelling and parties. We hanged out with a lot of guests as well as the staff. We ended up extending our stay. Whether you are coming as a solo visitor or with friends, it will be very easy for you to meet people and have fun here.

Lovely experience. It was smooth check in and staff is good and friendly. Once you reach the hostel it's at a perfect location, so close to the beach. Will definitely recommend it to family and friends.

Only issue was the map didn't pick the right location and one of the other traveler's faced the same issue and the cab dropped me on a different location and had to walk in the hot weather. There was no sign board on the main road for the hostel and it was a little difficult to find it. Average cafeteria.

Most of all it’s just so clean. Every day the whole property is cleaned well. The dorms are pretty spacious! And the beds are quite comfortable. There’s a little washing line around each bed so you can put your scarf or something to make curtains for privacy, which is a nice touch. And just many many activities being hosted daily that you can always join in on! The location is also great, so close to the beach.
