I have been to goko twice and there is no other place i would ever stay at in Gokarna. From the stay, till the staff, the owners (sunny and sakhi), the food, THE LOCATION, the vibes!! Everything was spectacular. They are so sweet and so fun. And the dorms were amazing! personally felt it was rly well kept and the beds were also really comfortable. 💯💯recommended!!
Staying at Goko Hostel was honestly one of the best parts of my trip! The vibe here is so warm and welcoming — I met some amazing people who turned into great friends. Sunny and Sakhi, the hosts, make you feel at home the moment you arrive. Nights at the hostel were my favorite — playing games, laughing, and sharing stories with travelers from all over. If you’re looking for a place that’s more than just a stay, but an experience filled with good energy and connections, Goko Hostel is the spot! 🌿✨
As far as my first experience for a hostel, i think goko has set the expectations really high. It was really good experience and the hosts, Sakhi and Pranjali, made it more fun and interactive. Thanks for such a great experience. Goko is definitely worth it for a hostel having good vibes and location
This place is like a warm hug you never want to leave There’s something about Goko that just gets you. The vibe, the people, the food—everything feels like home, but better. It’s the kind of place where you instantly belong, even if you’ve just walked in. The food? Ridiculously good (like you’re at home) . Even when you’re full, you’ll find yourself reaching for seconds. It’s that comforting. I caught myself thinking, “I could honestly live here for a year if I could.” That’s the kind of space it is. Cozy, grounding, and so full of heart. Can’t recommend it enough.- Sakhi and Sunny truly make it
I’ve been to Goko Hostel multiple times as a solo traveller, and honestly, every single trip has been unforgettable. It’s not just a place to stay, it’s a whole vibe. The energy, the people, the beach, the food… everything just clicks. The hosts are INCREDIBLE. They know exactly how to bring people together — whether it’s through fun games, wild parties, or those 2 AM deep talks that stay with you long after the trip ends. They make you feel at home, but also like you’re part of something really special. The beach is literally right there. You can wake up, go for a dip, watch the sunset, chill with a drink, and repeat. The food’s amazing, the drinks hit just right, and the music is always on point. If you’re looking for a place to make real memories; whether you’re solo or with your gang, just go to Goko. I found this place by chance and now I keep going back every chance I get. And when you go there you’ll get exactly what I’m talking about.
This trip meant a life to me, and i am not just saying just for it and the reason I've lived this trip its cause of Goko sukhi and sunny are such warm hearted person that they made everyone feel included and carefree and you(pranjali❣️) are toh best only, literally the best host we could ever have they say it's not about the place its about the people and Goko brought all these people together so forever grateful for goko and this trip✌️.
I’ve been on trips, I’ve loved the places but I’ve never called a Place HOME. Gokarna is a home now, cause of the people i found, i met and bonded over and that was all possible cause of Goko. I was hesitant about the trip before but after this, I’m just grateful and overwhelmed. Sunny, sukhi and Pranjali are the kindest soul I’ve encountered and they made the stay like a home, bhai i had best daal chawal there ngl. Just grateful and all the happiness back to you guys ❤️
I don't think I've been to a better hostel than Goko Hostel, and the hosts , Sunny and Sakhi, they make sure you don't have any issues to the best of their abilities. I've been here 4 times now and I don't think I'll stop coming. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting Gokarna. You'll fall in love🧡
