Not only did Rocky book a bus to and from Hampi for me over the phone before I arrived (paying for it all and adding it to my room bill) he even thought to send a rickshaw to collect me from the bus as it arrived too early for public transport to be running. So considerate and helpful, thank you!... More

Rocky made our Hampi stay extremely enjoyable, with clean, basic rooms, cool AC, and fast WiFi. The food was great and cheap (try one of the juices). I booked our room via email the day before arriving on night bus from Goa, and surprisingly a rickshaw was waiting for us at the Hampi bus station. Rocky suggested a two-day itinerary... More

We booked 3 nights here and were given helpful tips via email before arriving. On arrival Rocky the owner greeted us and attended to our every need. Rocky is extremely hard working and somehow makes you feel like you're the only one there. I had some delicate issues which were handled with genuine care and attention, thourough and speedy. Great... More

we stayed in the small room downstairs and it was not too noisy in the evening. The room is really not the best thing in the world, but there is also nothing wrong with it. You are not gonna stay in your room in Hampi anyway. We had just 2 & 1/2 days and the owner organized everything for a... More

We enjoyed the ruins in Hampi. Rocky is very nice and his family is great. Word of advise though, time your visit appropriately. We were there at the end of March. It was 40 degrees Celsius in the day and barely cooled down at night. Because they have not yet had their monsoon and they power the town by dam... More

Guesthouse had good location. We had a clean, non AC room (with fan) and mosquito net. They also have a small restaurant where we had good breakfasts. Rocky and his family are nice and helpful. They also have a travel agency where we booked our bus tickets. Would stay again.

Rocky is a great host and gave us good advice while we were here. His family were equally as nice too. The room was good value and spacious. We were here for two nights and would stay here again. The food was good and we were addicted to the Nutella pancakes!

Rocky's is a fantastic family run guesthouse in the delightful town of Hampi. Rocky (Raki) is an extremely helpful and personable host who gave us all the assistance we needed to enjoy Hampi. He also offered travel services and recommendations for onward travel. The restaurant was fantastic, the rooms were cute and clean and the entire family - children included... More

We arrived in Hampi in the evening with no reservations, during the busy tourist season, and exhausted by a 12 hour journey from Mysore. We had older versions of Lonely Planet and Rough Guide books, and Rocky's wasn't listed in those so we ended up trying Padma's first, since her place is near the bus station and gets high reviews....
