In 2014, The Funky Monkey Hostel opened its doors, creating a space where backpackers could connect, relax, and discover the magic of Goa. What started as a simple idea—building a "living room" by travelers for travelers—has grown into one of India's most beloved backpacker hostels. With Tripadvisor’s Travellers’ Choice award and becoming Hostelworld’s most-reviewed hostel in Goa, we’re thrilled to celebrate a decade of adventure, friendships, and funky memories!
More Than Just a Hostel—A Home for Travelers

Funky Monkey is not just a place to crash; it’s a community of travelers who share stories over chai, strum guitars under the stars, and create friendships that last beyond the trip. Whether you’re here for a night or a few, our hostel offers the perfect mix of tranquility, adventure, connection and action! From spontaneous jam sessions to sunrise swims, happy hours, and community dinners, our weekly hostel events help you connect with new people, from locals to fellow travelers, and discover different sides of Goa.
Over the years, thousands of backpackers have become part of our story. Some left their mark—literally—on our walls (shoutout to the many amazing artists leaving their marks on our walls!), while others contributed with music, travel tales, and simply good vibes. Many guests return year after year, proving that Funky Monkey isn’t just a hostel—it’s a home away from home for backpackers!
Thank You for 10 Incredible Years!
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined our 10th Anniversary Birthday Bash—whether in person, in spirit (or on Instagram!) We couldn’t have done it without the incredible community that has grown around this little slice of paradise in Goa.
As we step into the next chapter, our goal remains the same: to be a home for wanderers, solo travelers, and adventure seekers looking for the perfect mix of chill, fun, and a bit of funk.
