Found this gem on AirBnB while randomly exploring a workcation. Bhakti Kutir as the name suggests is an eco-friendly cum yoga haven. This is not the place for a regular kind of a holiday if you are expecting that. Located at South Goa, this is a place where you will enjoy the calmness and the stillness of the surroundings. Let’s get into the finer details of everything -
Rooms: The rooms are basically cottages based on a very earthen village theme. There are stand alone cottages and also duplex cottages. We stayed in a stand alone cottage No.3 which was quite large and spacious. The rooms have basic amenities which will ensure you have a comfortable stay. Keep in mind that being the kind of place this is, expect a lot of insects and crawlers to be your room partners. The bathroom in our room was huge with a western and an Indian squat toilet. ( The Indian styled here is used to make compost, so if you decide to squat for your dump you will contribute towards nature) The shower has no hot water but it’s made available to you on request. Our room experience was decent and good; keep in mind that the cottages have lots of crevices so that may not be good in terms of privacy for some.
Food: The kitchen service here is right up there with the bests. At Bhakti Kutir they take vegan and vegetarian food seriously. You will find many options to choose from - Fruit bowls, Ragi Dosa, Jackfruit Upma ( Yeah 😎) , Kuttu , Avocado toast, smoothies etc to name a few. They do serve eggs upon request. They also brew their own Kombucha Tea; it was quite fascinating to find it here. During our stay we had only breakfast here and the experience was top rated. You will find Chetan and Satya here who will be eager and happy to help you choose from the menu.
Connectivity: We were worried about the network and WiFi connectivity here. Ute and Yasho had assured us that we won’t face any issues with the connectivity. We had a good strong connection which allowed us to work as well as enjoy our vacation.
We highly recommend this place to people who want to stay away from the crowd and noise. If you are into nature and yoga then you may perhaps want to come and live here forever! And if you are someone like us who like nature and calmness and want best of both the worlds then too it will be a perfect fit for you.

I spent 14 days there with my yoga group. This place is amazing- you are staying in the jungle, yet close to the beaches and civilization. I will never forget the sounds of the jungle at the dusk , monkeys playing close to our yoga-practice area and various animals visiting the bungalow. The feeling of being a part of the nature is omnipresent. No tv’s in bungalows was a good decision, you simply don’t need it in a place like that. The vegetarian food was good, even a carnivore like me could live in it for two weeks and the local-made kombucha was just poetry. I came back last week and I already miss it. Wonderful place for the first encounter with India.

We stayed there for a traincation at the Bliss Circus, which is right next door. Bhakti Kutir is made up of individual huts that are really basic: a bed with mosquito net, some shelves and a lockable chest. The toilet is outside. There is a Western-style toilet, no worries, but you can also poop in a hole, if you like ;) The shower only has cold water :( During the day, the power cuts out several times - either intentionally because they are building something and need to cut it, or just because. There is WIFI, but it's slow (and also gone when the power is out). The huts are built right into the jungle, so bring earplugs. Wildlife goes crazy at 6:30 am and you will be woken up by birds, dogs, monkeys etc. The food is good but the service is slow. You will have to wait 15+ minutes for even basic drinks. Very Indian, I would say. The rooms and bathrooms are cleaned upon request. There is a laundry service where you pay per piece of clothing. There are also ayurvedic massages at Bhakti, but I was not a fan. It was an herbal stamp massage, which is not my thing, and the masseuse was chatting to her colleague half of the time.
It's a 10 minute walk to either Palolem (more party) or Patnem (more quiet) beach. Loads of yoga and restaurants in the area.

The food in the cafe is vegan/vege and is great. Waiters are charming.
The reception seems chaotic at times but don't be fooled, they are efficient and know exactly what is going on. They are also helpful in getting transport for you.
Accom is basic but that is how they are advertised.

Just have been there to look at their "farmers market" which is advertised in the area around.
The name in quite misleading. Have of it are western women e.g. selling aquarel picture of a quality which also my grandchild could have done. The other half are Indians selling the typical thing which you get at the tourist shops at the beaches.
To me that looks like they there thing every guest coming to goa is an idiot.

What I liked the most is the atmosphere and friendly staff. It is the best place to hang out with friends and make new friends. It has become one of my favorite places on earth.:)
When I return to Goa, I will definitely visit Bhakti Kutir again..

We stayed here Boxing Day till New Years and we got terrible service and were robbed and the staff blamed us for it cos we had a drink. Then did nothing to help us and even said that if we wanted our camera memory card they would sort that out and get it posted online!! So they new who robbed us!! They ignored us refused to clean our rooms and overall made us all feel unwelcome!! Would never stay there again!!

Response from Yasho_Ferrao, Owner at Bhakti Kutir
Responded 23 Jun 2014
You claim that we did nothing to help you, I came to the police station and helped translate, helped fill up the forms so that you could claim insurance. Our room-girls felt uncomfortable about cleaning your room after you accused them of theft without any proof. You claim it is our fault you got robbed but India isn't a European country. Obviously India isn't a country where you can get drunk repeatedly, make plenty of noise therefore drawing attention to yourself and then leave your windows open all night. We offered you safe lockers by the reception to keep your valuables which you refused to do. If you had taken the necessary precautions that every tourist who travels India does this would not have happened. After that you accused us of having knowledge of the theft and taking part in it when we tried to help you locate your memory card, your accusations were blind and you acted regrettably most childishly towards us and our employees.

round about 20 huts of Bhakti Kutir in a wonderful tropical garden with birds and butterflies, only 5 min to go to Palolem beach. a quiet and clean place for maximum holidays. i choosed together with my friend Narendra hut number 14, probably one of the best huts ever. a big veranda with diwan and chairs to relax, away from the main path i guess one of the most quiet huts there. a comfortable bed with mosquito net, nice furniture, clean, we got candles and a lemon oil lamp to keep the mosquitos away. i really love these small presents. a spectacular bathroom without a roof, western and eco composting (!) toilet...imagine to have a shower in the sunlight with view to all the plants outside...wow!! but you have to share with ants and lizards, really no problem for us, coz this is nature! hot water on request, but believe me u dont need coz of hot weather every day. the staff so polite, friendly and nice, always open to any question. especially Ms. Nikita at reception. a cool restaurant surounded with that garden too, comfortable, with a lot of biofood and delicious hot and cold drinks and WIFI for free. we enjoyed every second at Bhakti Kutir! but actually no place for party people.
