Dreamcatcher House & Hostel at Arambol Beach

The jam on the rooftop was great fun and the owners were very accommodating

The location is perfect! Located close to everything you could ever want…beach, shopping and cafes, live music, sunset drum circles, yoga. The owners and the staff are a dream ✨ I stayed in a private room with sea view and balcony. It was the first place I landed after 2 days of traveling and it felt like home. Everything was easy and fun. The accommodations are clean and beautiful and everything is taken care of. Everyone I met at Dreamcatcher was interesting and happy to be there. I stayed for 3 weeks but 3 months would have been ideal. I will be back next year 🤩 There was open mic jam sessions with the most incredible musicians on the rooftop twice a week and Seaview yoga sessions in the mornings. It was everything I could have hoped for! Thank you Banty and Haley for creating the best travel magic in Goa!!!! 💓

Nothing. If you don’t like fun and wonderful people and the beach, it’s not the place for you 😂

Madpackers Arambol has an incredible social energy while still offering space to relax. There is always something happening, music, conversations, terrace hangouts and even yoga sessions. The rooftop area is perfect for sunsets, gigs and connecting with fellow travelers. Inside, there is a comfortable chill zone where you can work, read or just unwind. The location is excellent, with a beautiful beach right next door and many great cafés and music spots within walking distance. Bikes and taxis are easy to arrange, and the owner is friendly and helpful. The private room was very comfortable, and having an additional outdoor bed space made it perfect for working or enjoying the sunset. The friendly cats roaming around add to the warm, homely vibe.

Nothing significant. It is a lively, social environment, which is exactly what makes it special.

Dreamcatcher is cheap. It's tucked away at the end of a dusty mud track, littered with rubbish, cow poo and a dead cat. But it's an easy walk to the beach and to some of Arambol's best restaurants.

I find hostels are a good place to meet people. I didn't find Dreamcatcher unfriendly, but the vibe was definitely a bit flat when I visited. There were no lockers in the dorm. One night the cold kept me awake and there were no blankets around, just a sheet. Oh, and the mosquitoes were a serious challenge at night.
