We had another wonderful break staying at Rinoo's beautiful house. The Villa River Cat seems to enchant and calm like no other place i have ever stayed at. The rooms are peaceful and the views when you wake up in the morning, especially on the top floor are magical. I really have nothing bad to report about this guesthouse. There... More

I stayed at the Villa River Cat for 9 nights and really enjoyed every minute of it. The owner is a very genuine and happy hearted person, who is always willing to go out of his way to help, be it to offer travel advice, restaurants to visit or areas of interest around Mandrem and even through out India. The... More

We where two couples that stayed in Villa River Cat for 5 days at the top floor. The villa has around 12 rooms for rent and the atmosphere is calm and relaxing. The interior of the villa is genuine and you will find hammock and other relaxing furniture around in the house. The best part of our stay was the... More

We stayed in the villa rivercat for 7 days and we had a wonderful time. The house is so beautiful! it has its own very unique style and character - you cannot compare it with the dirty and cheap accommodations in Goa. The beach in Mandrem is peaceful and clean and only 100 meters from the villa rivercat on the... More

After reading some of the reviews about villa river cat, i felt compelled to write about my personal experience of staying there. I've been going to stay at villa river cat for the last 15 years. It has been a home from home for me, with me sometimes staying for 6 months at a time. The house has grown over... More

A friend of us recommended Villa River Cat, so we had high expectations which were not met. It is very close to the beach which was dirty (although there were people that did some kind of "cleaning"). The rooms we have seen are nice, but not that well maintained. The first room we got had several leaks in the roof,... More

We came to stay at the begining of the season and were treated like friends. It was quiet not many guests at the start of the season and so the owner took us for dinner and chatted with us in the evenings on the terrace. We could go for long walks in the day and laze around on the beach.... More

I would definitely stay here again. I spent 3 night here with my girlfriend. Rinoo the owner was very helpful and liked having a chat with guests. Breakfasts were very good. It was a 2 minute walk to the beach. The villa was quiet, relaxed and the rooms were cool, neat and tidy. We had a shared bathroom, there was... More

We only stayed one night but it is an amazingly decorated beautiful place toward some backwater but close enough to the beach. Very quiet atmosphere and welcoming staff although it seems a short-staffed. Seems to target (or appeal) mainly middle-aged travelers although our children also liked it. Nice terrace and breakfast although a bit overpriced. More

We had a nice enjoyable stay with my family at Villa Rivercat in March. House looked really magical among tall palmtrees and beach was just 200 meters away. Its a very interesting artistic looking building having beautiful matching colours in the rooms and entrance halls. On the rooftop terrace one can relax in the evening and admire thousands of twinkling... More
