Reviews of Island Vibes

Tony was a really nice host. he did help us to book auto for a tour and also helped us with bike. The overallstaff was amazing. the place is beautiful and mesmerizing.

Little far from hospet and city

Felt very at one with nature, very friendly staff, good food at the cafeteria

Music until 11 at night, very firm bed and pillows

The food was good and accommodating hosts.

Music on until 11pm very very loud every night! But cute place with good basic facilities

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.

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.

Nothing.

The food was horrible, the staff would take a very long time to send it and needed multiple prompts to get it ready. The crowd is weird and that place itself doesn't attract decent people. The shower didn't have hot water and the hotel doesn't provide any toiletries/towels, etc

It’s okay average

Food is great, probably one of the best in Hampi. Lot of people staying in other places in come here to eat. The staff is also very friendly and accommodating - they will make the food as per your preference and will always serve with a smile.

Room is pathetic 0/5 - probably one of the worst places I have stayed especially at this price- here's why. I stayed from 24-27 Dec, and paid over 10k for a double sharing room. 1. The room has no proper walls, it made of bamboo mats, hence there's insects and little frogs that come inside the room. There was quite a bit of mosquitoes too in the evening - we had to put a coil and a repellent oil to be able to stay. 2. The room lacks basic amenities - there is no basic cupboard to keep your clothes, just one bed side table with one small rack. Even the bed is not comfortable and the pillows given were so thin that is felt like sleeping without pillows. There's one small hanging mirror and few hooks on top of the mirror. There is no AC as well - we didn't mind that as it was winter, but in summer it would no be ok. 3. Bathroom is pathetic - No geyser, no bathroom mirror, no proper rack to keep your toiletries. + it was not the cleanest on and there were several small frogs inside. Hot water for bathing was given in the bucket by the staff if you ask for it. 4. No room service - we stayed for 3 days in which there was no room service given - there was no cleaning of bathroom or even basic dusting of the room or the bed. 5. No drinking water provided, your have to buy - everywhere the property provides at least 1 water bottle and then if you need more you would have to buy. Here even that was not given - you have to buy water bottles - and there is no provision of getting water in a jug or something like that.

Nothing

Everything

Night visuals are stunning outside the hut. The cafe had a calm vibe where one can relax on the mattress laid on the ground.

Hut built quality was okayish. There is no proper privacy in the bathroom. Some gaps in the bathroom door were see-through. Expensive breakfast (not more expensive than other similar places).

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

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