We stayed at The Village Guesthouse last year, and came back again in January this year. Goran and Janet are perfect hosts. We had great evenings with other guests and with Goran and Janet on the balcony. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to visit Palolem. It is just the best place to stay! All rooms are...

What a joy to find such a perfect place to stay. Such welcoming hosts, lovely venue and great staff. Yogi certainly does mix the best cocktails and the evening drinks with both hosts and other guests was something we looked forward to each day. A really friendly and relaxed atmosphere - the perfect base from which to enjoy Palolem Beach... More

We intended on staying only a couple of nights so we could experience the shacks nearer the beach. However, a combination of clean comfortable rooms, lovely hosts, air conditioning, electrical mosquito swatters and other friendly guests meant we stayed for the full week that we were in Palolem. Very nice and would definitely stay again.

We've been looking forward to writing this review just so we can enjoy telling people what a great place this is and how much we enjoyed Goran and Janet's company.They even brought out a delicious chocolate cake on Gill's birthday. We needed this after over five weeks of travelling. For us this was better than being right on the beach... More

Yet again I can not praise Janet and Goran and their staff highly enough for their hospitality , helpfulness and support in crisis ( this year I managed to be ill enough for a doctor to be needed!) and advice on local services ( Janet arranged an excellent tailor for me). We are not normally bar people but the atmosphere... More

Stayed here for two nights and found it as good as the reviews, easy to get out and about with TucTuc available on request. Particulary enjoyed meeting the other guests for an early evening during that was superbly hosted by Goran, who has a wicked sense of humour. Janet was charming and very efficient and the staff were great. Breakfast... More

We stayed for ten nights just after NY and had a fantastic time here. Janet and Goram are lovely, genuine people who helped add to our South Goa adventure. We saw them more as friends than hosts as they are so easy to get on with. The rooms are large, spacious and clean and the cable TV works (most places... More
