Ispectacually clean The staff were very polite and efficient The location was perfect, 5 mins walk to the beach. Some funny taxi drivers.
Nothing⁹ a
Stay was nice, relaxing and everything was within walking distance.
Everything
The room cleanliness and facilities were good.
The location was not ideal as it was in a very cornered area Staff responded only after calling multiple times over the phone, which was quite frustrating There was no landline available to contact the staff directly. There was no food, canteen, or restaurant available, so we had to order from outside or rely on nearby hotels. The TV was not working, and although we informed the staff, it fixed. The AC also didn’t work most of the time, and we had to report it every time.
Owner is not polite
No proper services
very nice and spacious room
Clean, spacious, excellent location and very well maintained. The owner is super responsive and accommodating. 10/10 would recommend.
Comfortable bed, location, hosting, close bus stop
Very spacious and clean room with everything you need, even a fridge inside the room! The family owning this place is super nice and made us feel like at home! Perfect place to stay close to the airport! Definetly recommend!!
Hospitality was awesome and recommended for others to witness the same

High quality guest house. Very welcoming and friendly vibes.
It didn't feel particularly special despite the high quality. Not a whole lot of character, but it's still great, don't get me wrong.
Great place to stay if you have an early morning flight . Bogmalo beach is about 5 mins walk away and it’s great place to to hang out before your flight .
Clean and everything you need for a night
It was incredible clean guest house, real clean, not like Indian standard. We had late check-in, and it was no problem for owner. She was really helpful and give us telephone number to good, local taxi driver. I' m really recomended this place 🌞
Very clean and big rooms I recommend!
Very nice and helpful host. Room was clean and washroom hygienic.
Spacious, with a kitchen area including a fridge to prepare light snacks. Plates and cutlery supplied. Friendly and helpful owner and staff.
Nothing comes to mind.
Rekha is an amazing host, she helped me with everything throughout my stay. The guesthouse is near Bogmalo beach which is a small but quiet beach. The bathroom was clean, the hot water worked perfectly and the AC as well. I got fresh water every morning. Most of the people in the area are really nice and helpful, except the money exchange guy at the beach. The coconut plantation looks charming in the morning, I went for a walk every day. What is nearby to see is the beach, the heart shaped lake and maybe the Birla Radha Krishna Mandir, other activities are a bit far so it makes the most sense to rent a motorbike and go around with that. As I don't drive the motorbike sometimes people just stopped for me and took me, I didn't feel unsafe.
Some people are selling different things on motorbike like fish or bread and they just honk a lot on the street in front of the window, it can be irritating.
Only quality equipment, very comfy, clean, easy and peaceful
Regi, Reka and their mum were very welcoming. The room was spotless and extras were offered in the room eg. water, scissors, bottle opener, glasses, plates, mugs, cutlery as well as toiletries and tea/ coffee as described. On departure Reka advised us about places to visit in Goa and also how to book onward transport. The family went above and beyond to help us.
Nothing
We paid £85 per night for a room in central London....... bargain! Room was clean, warm and comfortable. What more can you ask for ..... and breakfast was good. This hotel really is value for money. For those that complain...... try finding better for the money in the centre of town.
Anything was fine. No complaints.
It was spotless, and the hosts were exceptional and sorted a taxi for our trip home. I would highly recommend it.
Nothing not to like
The property was located in a quiet area close to the beach and a few shops. The bed was amazing to sleep in, a nice firm mattress!
Nothing.
Spotlessly clean, generous sized room, five mins walk from the beach. Friendly owners. Easy to see why this place is so highly rated. An easy 10/10 from me.
Great stay overall, very close to airport, beach, food, restaurants, bars and local taxis. We were provided towels and bottled water. There was a fridge in the room, and running hot water. The staff was great- super helpful, they check us in late in the night and told us all the essentials, as well as allowed us to store our bags with them afternoon flight.
I am very sensitive to smells, there was a moth ball/naphthalene ball somewhere, which irritated me.
Everything.
Everything was absolutely fine.
The host was incredibly friendly, showing us the room and sharing recommendations for nearby restaurants. Check-in was seamless and efficient, without the excessive paperwork we've encountered at other places. We were given the wifi password immediately, and the internet connection was quite reliable. The room was spotless, and it included a kitchenette with a kettle, as well as coffee and tea. The bathroom featured both a rain shower and a handheld shower, with hot water. The air conditioning was effective and kept the room comfortable. The place is located close to the beach.
The bed, however, was very firm and uncomfortable.
The location is good near the beach and also near to the airport.
Should have the Room Service atleast Morning tea and breakfast.
friendly helpful hoast, all details nice, like water, tea, coffee, provided, clean
Extremely clean rooms. And very helpful staff.
Not very convenient for cars
Good ppl good location
Tarif of Rs 3200/- was a was a shade high for this property
I only stayed one night because I arrived late in the night and had to travel on - but I loved it. The warmhearted owner treated me like a family member, arranged airport pickup and my further travels. I felt home, welcomed and taken care of, as I am a woman travelling alone in india late at night. My plane should have arrived by 10pm, but because it only arrived at 11pm, it was after 12pm when I arrived at the hotel. They where there for the check-in, what I really am so greatful for! Thank you so much!
Everything was just perfect.
Clean place
It was all worth it staying here. We just stayed here for a very short period- after landing at Goa and while going back. However, I would want to come back to this property and stay longer at this place. It very well located. Close to airport and walking distance from Bogmalo beach. It’s one the prettiest, small and less commercialised beaches hence the crowed is very less. We enjoyed our stay because it was so close to the beach that we walked down for breakfast, some peaceful time and to walk by the beach. The host is very responsive and the staff is very helpful too. For this price, the room had everything you needed- fridge, coffee and tea bags, soaps, towels etc. Everything was very clean and the room smelled nice. Washroom was clean too. We landed and took off at very odd timing but the host was very supportive of that and helped us getting a cab as well. The cab suggested by the host is one of the best, we hired him for other tour as well in and around Goa. Overall, had a very good experience here and would want to come back just to stay at this property at Bogmalo
Liked everything about the place
The hosts were super helpful.
Beautiful house off from crowds but still in the centre. Great restaurant with good prices right next to it. We loved our stay!
Clean and well maintained room in a peaceful environment
Not any option of breakfast or bar
Amazing and very helpful owners. Great location next to the beach and close to the airport.

Perfect location just 10 minute drive from the airport but quiet and near the beach/shops/restaurants. Spacious, super clean and with everything you need from AC to a fridge and kettle. Owner was really friendly and kind, helping me organise a taxi to my next destination. I only wish I had stayed a few more days. Thanks so much :) will be recommending to others.
Calm and quiet place
Hotels providing breakfast are not nearby
Bit far of, but very comfortable place
Neatly maintained room. Close to the airport as well as Bogmalo beach. The owner helped rent a two-wheeler. Our flight was in the evening and we wanted to see some places during the day. They were kind enough to keep my luggage after we checked out. Overall, the stay was very convenient.
This is the greatest. Reka and her girls made my stay, laundry, plane bookings, local info all no problem. Restaurants, bar, shops, beach, taxi, etc, just minutes away. So good i added to my stay for 3 more days
The hosts were so lovely and attentive, when I arrived there was this girl (sorry can't remember her name) she was so adorable and so helpful she showed me around the room and how to use all the facilities, the room was so clean and well organised with toiletries and water and a fridge too, there was another woman who was with her she was also very helpful and made me feel at home, they would supply me with two new bottles of water each day, the main owner would message me every day to see if I was okay and comfortable, she even arranged my taxi back to the airport, if I ever go back Ill be staying here... These guys could teach a lot of other hotels about hospitality ...I will always recommend this place ❤️❤️❤️
Nothing
I liked the Resort a lot. Green and clean with a beautiful pool.
They should add buffet.
Cleanliness
Very spacious apartment, had a lovely stay. The host family was super nice
Absolutely spotless room, very comfortable bed, very pleasant owners, great location, peaceful, close to the beach, great value for money... what more could you want?!!
Absolutely fabulous! Very clean and very comfortable accomodation. I felt like at home. Everything was excellent. Also, the family running this place is very nice. Special thanks to Austin, who is super helpful. I've been in many places in India, but this was by far my favourite. Highly recommended.
Large room, great facilities, super clean, could have stayed for.much longer given the amenities
Great place, lovely people at the guesthouse.
Everything was just amazing. The place was modern and extremely clean. Home vibes all over the place. James guesthouse is recommended 100 % for everyone. Nothing to complain you can feel the place was made with love.
Everything was more than perfect.
Needed accommodation close to the airport this was fantastic
Only stayed one night but wished it could have been a week.
Close to the airport, perfect if you're arriving late and still haven't decided where to go next. Close to the beach (5min walk?). Close to the bus stop. Nearby restaurant with tasty food. Very kind and helpful staff. Clean room. Would come back!
Great air conditioning... Friendly hosts.. WhatsApp is good way to ask them questions and arrange transport.
Everything is super good I say efter so many countries I been Here is wonderful especially the owner She help all the time ,my lagege was late in Mumbai She call and help me all the time ❤️
