### 1/5 — disappointed

*2026-07-23*

We booked a stay at goSTOPS for 20 July. However, on 21 July, protests were taking place in Delhi, making it unsafe to travel. Our bus was also cancelled, so we were unable to travel to the property.

Considering the circumstances, we contacted goSTOPS and requested that our booking be cancelled or that we be offered some assistance. Unfortunately, the goSTOPS team refused to help and simply stated that we should have informed them five days before the check-in date to cancel the booking.

This was extremely distressing and disappointing. I understand that cancellation policies exist, but when there is an unexpected situation involving safety concerns and public transport disruptions, some level of understanding and support should be provided.

I will not be booking a stay with goSTOPS again. I am extremely disappointed that the management showed no concern for our safety or circumstances.

**Developer response:** Hi Manish,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We completely understand how unsettling the situation must have been, given the safety concerns and travel disruptions involved.
Your feedback matters to us, and we're sorry your experience didn't reflect the care we aim to offer. We hope to have the chance to host you again under better circumstances.

Warm regards,
Team goSTOPS

### 5/5 — First visit at goSTOPS

*2026-07-16*

This was my first visit to goSTOPS Katra hotel or I say first visit to goSTOPS hotel but it left a remarkable,unforgettable and pleasant memory. This proverbs ‘First impression is the last impression’ fit here perfectly. Especially my family and kids enjoyed a lot. There concept is very appreciable. Everything was fine whether it room, hygiene, food quality, indoor activity for kids and family. Everything attracts me and this will be my first choice hotel wherever I plan next trip. I recommend everyone to visit once and you will love it. Most important Mata Rani Trikut Parvat view was mesmerising from the room.

**Developer response:** Hi Soni,
Thank you so much for this heartwarming review! We're thrilled that your first goSTOPS experience left such a lasting impression, and that your family, especially the kids, had a memorable time with us.
It means a lot to know our rooms, hygiene, food, and family-friendly activities stood out for you — and that the Trikut Parvat view added that extra magic!
We can't wait to welcome you back on your next trip. Thank you for recommending us!

### 4/5 — Too may popups after unlocking

*2026-03-20*

App worked great for me in Goa. pPopup for food ordering or something related to app after every unlock is very irritating…
Also it would be great if app supports for door/locker unlock widgets.

**Developer response:** Hi Sir/Ma'am,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us! We're glad the app worked well for you during your stay in Goa.
We also appreciate you flagging the pop-up notifications and the suggestion for door/locker unlock widgets — this kind of feedback genuinely helps us make the app better for all our users, and we'll be sure to pass it on to our product team for consideration.

Introducing Community — a new way to meet your hostel.

You know that feeling of landing at a new hostel, dropping your bag, and wondering who else is around? Community fixes that from the moment you check in.

WHAT'S LIVE, RIGHT NOW
Open the app and see what's actually happening at your hostel today — not a static list, a live one. Someone's doing chai sutta on the terrace at midnight. Someone else needs one more for river rafting at dawn. There's a sunset aarti plan forming by the ghat, and a foosball match one player short. It updates as people join, so what you see is what's really going on, right now — down to how many other travellers at your hostel are planning activities this very minute.

JOIN, OR START YOUR OWN
See something you like? One tap and you're in. Nothing on that catches your eye? Start it yourself — pick from ready-made templates for popular things to do near your hostel, or build something entirely custom: name it, set a date and time, add a price if there's one, and it goes live for everyone at the hostel to see.

TALK BEFORE YOU MEET
Every event gets its own chat, so you can sort logistics, vibe-check the group, or just say hey before you actually show up. There's also a hostel-wide chatroom for everything else — quick plans, spontaneous meetups, or just seeing who's up for what tonight.

MARK WHAT LOOKS FUN
Not ready to commit? Mark an activity, or a whole category, as interested — and we'll let you know if it turns into something real. See how many other travellers are eyeing the same thing. Sometimes that's all it takes for a plan to actually happen.

HOSTING, MADE SIMPLE
Start a plan and you're the host — see who's joined, who's interested, and invite more people or share it straight to the hostel chat with one tap. You're in control of who's part of it, and if someone's not the right fit, you can remove them from the event. If you ever need to step back, hosting passes smoothly to someone else in the group, so the plan never just falls apart.

SEARCH FOR ANYTHING
Got something specific in mind — a trek, a trail, a food crawl? Search for it directly. If it's not already happening, we'll help you turn it into a plan of its own, and show you what else is on nearby in case something catches your eye first.

A COUPLE OF HONEST NOTES
Any payments between you and other guests for an event are between you — goSTOPS isn't involved in that part. And once you're in, you're in: if you leave a chat or get removed from an event, that one's done, so plans stay reliable for everyone else in them.

Because the best part of any trip was never just the place. It's the people you end up telling stories about later — and now, meeting them starts the moment you check in, not the moment you get lucky in the common room.

Update now and see what's happening at your hostel tonight.
