We booked this guesthouse based on the glorious comments read on TA. This was our first night in India (for this trip) and gosh .... from outside, very nice location but inside ... the room was really dirty and the mattress was a foam. No way to sleep there. We heard some complaints about the visitors requesting something to eat... More

Well situated, stylish and good value. The room and bathroom were clean, but the floor could have done with a good sweeping. It was quite hot when we stayed and the fan didn't quite do it for my wife. Overall great value for money and had a fun stay.

I'm staying there since several months, I can use the open space on the second floor to paint, some people carve there also, I use the shared kitchen. By the garden back side, you are at 2mn of the beach. Soon the restaurant will open. Good price / quality ratio, very good family atmosphere.

We originally booked for five nights here but only stayed for one. The room was clean and location decent. Our major complaint was that the door to the bathroom had an eight inch gap in it. This meant two things: the a/c did not work very well as room not sealed and we were forced to use mosquito net. If... More

We stayed here for 3 nights in April and it was extremely hot. We had a choice to 'upgrade' and move to an a/c room but rooms are very basic and I didn't want to pay more. The communal areas of this guesthouse are very nice, the owner was helpful but not pushy, the rooms very basic concrete. We had... More

Pros: cheap, laid back, good location Cons: hot, humid, quite airless (we had a downstairs room). The staff were pretty charmless and hardly ever there (not that we needed them I hasten to add). There were a couple of dogs that barked quite a lot during the night. The place, while not actually dirty, didn't feel particularly clean. But probably... More
