We stayed for 4 days, and could not complaint about anything. The location is not on the beach but 5mins walk from it. The house itself is spotless clean, every corner. Breakfast was great, they actually have an option of having your muesli with yogurt -home made! The people working there are all polite and kind. I am surprised of... More

From the moment we stepped foot in the Village Guest House we had a sour unfriendly feeling. Our hostess Janet never smilled once and her husband had a truly synical sence of humour which we found offensive due to his comments about our country and its economical situation which is something you just don't do to your paying guests.

Spent 5 nights there in January. Goran and Janet make this place! The guesthouse is lovely. I spent 8 nights in north Goa and then went onto stay here for 5 nights and we were then returning to the north. My only regret was returning! If I had known what a wonderful place this was I would not have returned... More

Guest house beautifully restored, lovely rooms, Janet and Goran very kind, competent, and welcoming. Very nice garden, and most pleasant setting all together. Couldn't have asked for more attentive owners/managers. Easy reach of vast beach with lovely swimming and delicious not expensive food.

Goran tried to be a good host and if you like slightly over bearing jokey, let's run down India drunken discussions- you will love it. I didn't and am clearly in the minority judging from the other reviews. I expected better for breakfast at this kind of place- on the first day, the service was incredibly slow taking 50 mins...

Absolutely endorse all the previous reviews, which raved about this place. We were the second time around and it was even better than the first. If you want to have the village guest house experience though, better make it quick in case Janet and Goran slip of to Madagaskar! Wild!
