About

Mumbai's First Backpacking Hostel Formerly Known As Backpacker Panda Appetite, Backpackers Villa Mumbai. This is a breed of designer hostels where the focus is on creating an experience for guests. A signature of the BVM brand is the flexibility of choice: you have the choice of privates, 6-8 bed dorms and also girls-only dorms so the hostel caters really well to both the needs of female solo travelers, couples and larger group.

Backpackers Villa Mumbai is a notch above most other hostels and boutique hotels. The concept of this hostel is all about feeling at home.

Reception staff are cheerful, check-in is bright and breezy. This is part of the hostel’s efforts to be helping create a home away from home experience for its guests and looking after their needs during their stay.
