We promote solo travelling and the backpacking community, so group bookings are restricted to a maximum of 4 guests.
What is the cancellation policy?
Inform us 2 weeks prior to your day of arrival to cancel and receive a full refund of the advance. In all other cases you can reschedule your booking to a later date or gift it to a friend. Once your course has started there are no refunds for absence.

Additional nights include lunch. Classic Hostel ₹1,500 per night (AC), Backpackers Hostel ₹800 per night (AC), Heritage Home ₹600 per night (non-AC). An additional surf lesson is ₹1,500 per day.
Can I pick my own dates?
Yes — choose any start date you prefer, subject to bed availability.
When should I book?
Don’t leave it late — you need to book a minimum of 2 weeks in advance for a confirmed slot. Bookings for the next day close at 12pm. Walk-ins and spot bookings are strictly not entertained.
How much do I pay to book?
Surf + stay packages need 50% advance to confirm your slot. Packages where you stay outside and only take surf lessons need 100% advance.
What else is there to do?
Lessons finish by early afternoon. Kayak or stand-up paddle at sunset, or rent a scooter and explore the coast. There’s a running list of things to do in Mulki at thingstodoinmulki.start.page.
Can I rent a bike?
You can rent scooters and cars in Mulki. Contact the school to pre-book, or book on arrival subject to availability.
Is parking available?
Bike and car parking is available within the premises at all three hostel properties.
Is there an ice bath?
We run ice plunge sessions at each hostel, three times a week after surf. Strictly for hostel guests.
Can I work from here?
Yes. We have good Wi-Fi and common workspaces for remote working. Just schedule all work commitments after 1pm.
What are the food options?
Breakfast before surf isn’t recommended — we serve tea and fruit at the hostel beforehand. Lunch is served at the hostel and is included. Dinner is not included: use the open kitchen or order in through Swiggy/Zomato.
What is the check-out policy?
Check out from your bed by 11 am. You can leave your luggage in the dorm room, but empty your locker and clear the bed for the next check-in.
What is the check-in policy?
You can check in any time. For early check-ins, keep your luggage in the common areas, freshen up and get ready for surf — your dorm bed is allotted after surf, at 2 pm.
Can I book only the stay?
No. We do not provide stay without surf lessons.
Can I get a private room?
We provide dorm beds as accommodation. There is one private room — message us on WhatsApp to book it. You can also stay outside and join us for lessons; there are hotels and Airbnbs nearby, and we can point you at stay options.
What is the hostel capacity?
Backpackers Hostel: 4 sharing mixed AC dorms. Classic Hostel: 4 and 8 sharing mixed AC dorms. Heritage Home: 4 and 6 sharing mixed non-AC dorms.
Is it safe for girls?
Mulki has a strong reputation for polite, welcoming village residents. Surf tourism is well established here, and evening strolls around the village are an easy way to meet fellow surfers.
Are there female-only dorms?
All dorms are mixed. We don’t have a dedicated female dorm, but when there are two or more female travellers we put them in the same room.
How are dorm beds allotted?
We don’t take bookings room-wise — you are booking a dorm bed, and beds are allotted as per availability. Check-ins get the beds of that day’s check-outs, which could be in any dorm room.
How strict is the schedule?
Pickup and drop timings are strictly followed. The boat or vehicle will not wait — if you miss the ride you will have to arrange your own transport.
Can I get photos of my session?
You can pre-book a photography package for your surf session at ₹600 per session, per person.
Do I get a certificate?
Yes — collect your certificate of course completion on your last day at Mambo Jambo.
Can I start with 3 days and extend to 5?
Yes, you can extend your surf lessons as you like. Each additional surf lesson is ₹1,500 per session. Extending your stay depends on bed availability.
3 day, 5 day, 7 day or 10 day — which one?
3 days gives you an experience of what surfing is. 5 days gives you enough exposure to start catching white water waves on your own. 7 days gives you a practical understanding of ocean theory and wave reading, enough to start catching green water waves. 10 days is a comprehensive experience across different ocean conditions, spanning 20–30 hours in the water.
Are there any pre-requisites?
None. You don’t need to swim, and there is no minimum or maximum weight limit. What matters is not being scared of the water, and being able to get up quickly onto your feet from lying down.
