On the website booking.com I read that this guest house has 3 stars, but the conditions and qualifications of the staff do not correspond to this. Often there was no electricity, and the guest house did not even have a backup generator. Wi-Fi was available only in the corridor and the hall, the connection was often interrupted. The guest house had no adjacent territory at all. The toilets of the adjacent rooms had a common ventilation grill, so all sounds were audible. After I found the mouse excrements on the wardrobe, I was afraid walk barefoot. By the way, taking our shoes off in front of the building was a requirement of the school. Mice could enter the room through the windows because the mosquito nets were holey. Often there were problems with cold water. The food was the same every day, very poor diet. After the massage I had large bruises on my body, the massage was conducted in unhygienic conditions, there were no disposable sheets. The schedule was similar to the daily routine in the army. The organizers could better plan the day. As a result, army schedule of classes, constant noise, unhealthy diet, strange massage did not contribute to good health. After the course I was recovering for a long time.…

I want to share my impressions. 1. Guest house Haiwa beach residency is situated in a very noisy place. The windows overlook a noisy road. Almost every Day at 5 o'clock a.m. praying started in the temple not far from Guest House, moreover the director of Rishikul organized disco parties in the dining hall late in the evening. All students were also forced to listen to loud music. 2. The food was monotonous and low-calorie. The food did not comply with Ayurvedic principles. The Ayurvedic doctor identified your dosha (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) and type of food, but the food was the same for all students. Where was logic? 3. The director of Rishikul (Renjith) charged a higher price to those who booked on the website. Those who haggled on the spot had good discounts, which meant that the website price was initially inflated. 4. Masseurs did not use disposable bed-sheets. Nobody wiped or washed massage tables. Every new customer had to lay down on a dirty table stained with oil. 5. I did not have the necessary hygiene items in my room (soap, toilet paper). My room was not cleaned regularly, and cleaning time was always not convenient for me. There were no safes in all rooms, there were no safes at the reception desk too. The mosquito nets on the windows were torn. There was no desk in the room, I had to sit in the dining room. Wi-fi did not work in the rooms.…

This is India not the Ritz, right. Fantastic value for money, great location, 10 mins walk to the cliff front/beach. Clean rooms, cool ambiance from the communal seating area. Very quiet and peaceful. Fan or AC rooms, I chose AC and it worked well. Staff extremely friendly and willing to help. Wifi friendly.Safe and secure. I would stay again.
