One of the best place to stay in goa. Right in the candolim, just a min walk. They have beautiful dorms, named with beaches. The lobby is great with few beds, and lots of novels to ready. Also they have a very friendly cat, who loves to be with you. You get to meet new people and thats the best thing. Rajan is a great guy, and we will hang around with you guys just like your friend. Just nearby there is mama ceccelia, a very amazing shack with pool and novels. Amazing place, the place is clean and perfect. Backpackers, this is the place

Cheap stay and new friends is always a great combination

People Are Very Friendly And Helpfull. Reception Is 24 Hours Open. Literally 2 Minutes Away From Candolim Beach. If You Stay At Backpacker Panda You Can Also Get 10% Discount on Mama Cecelia Shack. Awesome Experience Love To Go Again. Night Guard Siddhant Bhai Is Nice Helps A Lot. Feels Like Home. Played Cricket There Also. No Restrictions, Just Chill. Money Was Well Spent.

Best Hostel Ever

Having to pay only 200 rupees for a day here felt like such a steal to me. The location is absolutely fabulous. There is a off road from the hostel directly to the beach. The look and feel of the place is brilliant and it is managed by quality staff. Did not try the food there as I ended up cooking myself. The Outdoor shower is a great. They have a huge lounge area thats open and gives a Goan vibe. Definitely a great place to stay.

Great location and ambience

The hostle has the best environment to stay. The staff is very helpful. From the supervisor to the cook everyone is best at their job. I would love to visit backpacker panda again. Also i made alot of friends from different parts of the world. It was a beautiful experience.

Beautiful place.

I really loved the hostile style first time experiencing it and it provided me kitchen and other Amenities for free with walkable distance to beach, and best was osm with sperate locker to each bed and the sit out with some drinks was osm

Enjoyed a first hostel style stay

Awesome place! Reception staff really helpful, awesome suggestion of the boat tour, highly recommend!! Beds super comfy with clean sheets and working air con! Communal area super relaxing and staff always willing to help

Post tour relaxing 

Panda backpacking is a nice quiet hostel and is very laid back. And has a chilled out vibe to it. The staff were very friendly and very helpful. I initially booked in for three nights but ended up staying seven. The room was perfect for what I wanted and it was nice and clean. It is very close to the beach and the Main Street where all the restaurants, bars and shops are.  I would defiantly recommend staying here. Thank you for an enjoyable stay 😃

Great hostel and location 😃

There are many great things about this hostel. Being so close to the beach was wonderful, as was having Goblin, the mischievious little kitten, to play and cuddle with.
Chill vibes at the hostel with the Den being a nice place to hang out, chat and meet new people.

The food served here is absolutely amazing, as is the service. Animesh will go out of his way to help you with anything you could ever need, and is great to hang out and chat with. It feels more like a family than a hostel.

There are somewhat frequent blackouts, but this seems to affect the whole area, and luckily doesn't seem to occur overnight when AC is needed.

The only issue is that the staff on in the morning tend to stuff things up a fair bit. You can order an omlette with two pieces of toast, they'll double check you want two pieces and then only bring out one piece. After you ask for the other piece and they say they'll bring it out, they might somehow forget still. They'll double check you want chilli and then not include it. They'll also make an iced coffee on chocolate ice cream. It's really odd because nothing like that would ever happen with the staff on in the evenings, it's honestly like a completely different place in the mornings. The masalla omlette is delicious... But you have to be lucky to actually get what it says on the menu, even when they double check with you. 

100% recomend staying here, just either avoid eating here in the mornings or accept that it's a bit of a gamble and you'll get what you get. 

Great location and good place to chill out, just be careful of food service in the mornings

I came to Goa with my crew to shoot the video for my Debut Original Single and this is where we decided to crash and relax every day. Staying at a hostel was the first time for most of us, and I speak for everyone when I say, there's no going back from this. 

Backpacker Panda Goa is a really chill place. The rooms are clean, so are the bathrooms. Each bunker has a designated drawer with a lock, and the drawers are really huge. The staff at the reception is so welcoming and warm, they will help you out everything you wanna know, that includes details of where you should go the next day, getting a scooty, and maybe you need help booking a cab because you have drinking plans (it is Goa after all) they are gonna be there, for all of it. 

You will have multiple options for the kind of dorm you want to stay at. Mixed (Male + Female) or just all Male and all Female. Your fellow lodgers are going to be respectful of your space and comfort because most of them are backpackers, who are used to sharing rooms this way. You might as well make new friends there and end up partying with them or have them join in on your plans. 

The hostel is insanely close to Candolim beach. It's so so beautiful, definitely a very underrated beach, which is better because, the crowd is cream, the beach is clean and you will have a great time. The hostel is connected to the beach shack Mama Celelia, the food is okay, they offered a special Backpacker Discount to us! Again, really adorable reception and hospitality. 

At the hostel, you will find an unlimited supply of beer at almost all times, however, if you drink anything else, you will have to get it by yourself from outside. The common area is so fun, they occasionally have games and gin pong tournaments (basically beer pong with gin). You will have chakna (snacks) to accompany them too if you want, basically packets of lays, kurkure etc. they provide it at the reception. There are paid laundry service, a kitchen and a fridge. You can store food/ booze, heat anything or even cook something if you want. As long as you clean your plates and everything yourself. The only thing I'd change is how well lit the rooms and toilets are. Since we were there to shoot, it was a real inconvenience to apply makeup without enough light. 

All in all, definitely a kickass place to stay for chill travellers and young (your mental age) explorers. Will visit again :)

Will visit again :)

Nice place to stay for backpacker. 
It is around 1 km from main road on the opposite side of sonesta inn resort.
They have put boards on tress on the way so that you can reach easily or you can ask for help from anyone on the way(people are generally friendly in Goa).
I stayed in a dorm with 8 people and the bed were quite clean and cozy. 
There is a common area outside where you can chill and meet new people, sing and play guitar. 
The beach is hardly 400  meters away and is accessible at night too. There is shack which is opened 24 hrs at the beach and you get 10% discount on mentioning that you are staying in Panda. i was there at the beach till 1 am and had no issues coming back to the hostel in night).
In all a great stay and you will enjoy it. Food/snacks at hostel is a bit costly though and choices are few too, and you get beer till 11pm only at hostel (However there is a common refrigerator where you can stock it :))
