While the stay was excellent, there were a couple of minor drawbacks. The cottages don't have geysers, but Tony is happy to arrange for hot water if you let him know. Additionally, you might spot baby frogs in the washroom, though I personally didn’t mind this at all.

I recently stayed at Island Vibes in a beautiful cottage that provided all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. The best part of this place is the enchanting ambience, complemented by the presence of two golden retrievers, Charlie and Simba, who are incredibly friendly. There’s also a sweet cat named Lilly, and I thoroughly enjoyed spending time petting her. The food was absolutely delicious, and my two-night stay at Island Vibes gave me the much-needed break to relax and recharge. Tony, who manages the property, deserves a special mention. From arranging bikes to suggesting must-visit places and cautioning us against scams, he ensured that everything was taken care of seamlessly. His dedication to his work is commendable, and I wish him all the best.

Lacking hot water in room, they can have geyser setup in the room to improve customer facilities.

Ambience, staff members, especially Tony and his brother was so good approachable and helpful.

I had an amazing 3-day stay at Island Vibes in Hampi with my friends. The place was great, but what made it truly special were the people. Toni and Golu, who run the place, were incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. Toni even lent me his personal bike to explore Hampi on the last day, and Golu and I enjoyed some wonderful guitar sessions at night. Despite checking out later than planned, they were very understanding. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, made even better by the friendly and welcoming hosts!

In the evening they like to play house music. Not to everyone's taste. Feel free to ask to turn the volume down. There is a busy road and a mosk next to the accomodation; they won't wake you up after some getting used to.

Amazing! Only six huts and a restuarants that caters to other guests as well. Pretty surroundings and very close to beautiful Hampi! Great kitchen - lots of options and everything tasted great! Staff was very friendly and accomodating. They have several sweet dogs; Simba is a real character!

The rooms are close to the road, which can be (especially weekend) noisy at night. The restaurant is few meters from the room and early sleep is not possible due to the music.

The staff is amazing! Friendly and helpful. The restaurant is the best in Hampi area. Really tasty and great service.

A bit close to the road so there is some noise.

Very friendly staff, good restaurant, live music. Also had interesting chats with other guests.

The place needs some minor improvements (the western music in the evening is a bit outdated and hard for the customer crowd, the toilets in the common area can be a bit cleaner, also putting soap there would be nice).

First of all, wow, the owner and the staff are just amazing. They really make the place such a nice place to stay at. They’re friendly, welcoming, funny and extremely helpful. The location is nice (next to some shops), the food was tasty, and the morning music (Indian chanting/music) is a delight to wake up to. In the evening there’s sometimes live drumming, which is really nice.

The location was less good - it is quite far from the bus points in Hosapete. Thankfully Island Vibes were accommodating with letting us enter early.

Friendly staff were very helpful with recommending things to do and very accommodating of our early check in. The restaurant food and atmosphere was good. Good value for money.

Rooms 4/5. Frequent power outages. But the place is good and you get a great a rural and remote vibes.

Amazing food, amazing vibe. 10/10

The volume of the music in the evening & sometimes the choice of music, a driving monotonous, unrelenting beat of techno for a couple of hours is not my cup of tea. Too much of a contrast to the morning & the place itself.

The staff were very helpful & friendly, the food adequate & varied enough to accomodate all tastes. The rooms wonderfully simple & rustic, reminiscent to me of the early days of Goa in the 60s. A very comfortable, open sided & relaxing main room for dining & hanging out. The place itself on the edge of the village is delightful with paddy fields across the road & a small shrine a mere 50 yards away. Finally each morning is introduced by a gentle chanting played on the sound system to set the tenor of the day. A place to unwind, simple, unpretentious & quiet
