Хороший отель недалеко от пляжа
Pros:

Хорошее расположение недалеко от пляжа, снизу есть магазин со всем необходимым, на крыше проводят тематические вечеринки, очень атмосферное место. Кровати удобные, есть кухня, но не было газа для плиты (нам и не нужно было). Есть кондиционер, вода была летней, не горячей.

Cons:

Много комаров

Pros:

La struttura era vicinissima alla spiaggia, la spiaggia si vede dal terrazzo superiore.
La camera/appartamento è spaziosa e pulita; il bagno è molto grande e corrisponde alle foto postate su booking.
Il proprietario Ifran ci ha accolto con il sorriso e gentilezza; è stato simpatico ed è stato disponibile in ogni nostra richiesta (x esempio consigli su dove andare a mangiare e su cosa fare durante la giornata visto che c'è stata la pioggia che non ci permetteva sempre di andare al mare.)
Se torno ad Arambol beach, ritorneremo sicuramente qui, lo consiglio al 100%

Good time 😊
Pros:

Kumbaya was very close to the beach and felt breezy. The seaview and coconut trees surrounding the balcony was beautiful to be around. I enjoyed chilling on the terrace and enjoying the view. My bed was comfortable and cozy too. Check-in and out was easy and staff was cool. Thanks for a great stay 😀

Just what I needed
Pros:

Kumbaya hostel has a great location and is a good vibes kind of place. Friendly staff and community around to make my travels fun. Good facilities and the outdoor balcony was large enough for several people to sit comfortably while looking at the ocean view on a few meters away!

Cons:

Nothing everything was solid

Quite basic but good location
Pros:

Good location near the beach and just above a little corner shop. This end of Arambol beach seemed the nicest bit to us.

Cons:

“Sea view” is a bit of a stretch and the room is quite tired. Some things like cleaner towels and a roll of toilet roll there when we arrived would make it feel a bit more comfortable. Unfortunately the air con was a bit temperamental which was annoying in the night.

The rooms were cleaned every day and the sharing toilet was huge. It is very close to the beach and a calm place to stay.

Irfan the care take was very kind and helped solve all issues. Thank you .

This hostel in Arambol was amazing! Just a 1-minute walk to the beach, it’s perfect for a relaxing getaway. The place was quiet, the dorms were clean and comfortable, and they even offered free water refills. The owner was super kind and made the stay even better.

Comfortable, clean and just 20 steps from the beach, Kumbaya ensured that we have an amazing time at Arambol beach!
Pros:

Just a few steps away from the beach, Kumbaya is a great place for a relaxing and fun time at Arambol.
The rooms are clean and very well maintained with hot water in the shower available all day.
Irfaan bhai is an amazing host and will ensure that your stay is cozy & comfortable.
Met a lot of fellow backpackers here and had great conversations and a lot of partying!
