Although the rooms are basic they are clean & the WiFi is good . The hosts are wonderful and will help in anyway they can we were given a kettle and hairdryer when requested. We also hired a scooter from them at a very reasonable rate. The beach front can be loud up till about 11pm at times . We personally found it great to be just a minute away and it was more peaceful . Definitely recommend

A little gem in Palolem

Great place in an excellent location, literally minutes from the beach & the Coco Cabana shack. The owners are very friendly & accommodating, nothing is too much trouble & they are always smiling. The pugs are so cute too. We won’t hesitate at staying there again.

Fantastic location just yards from Palolem Beach; literally about a minutes walk through the Copa Cabana beach hut and you are there. Extremely clean and comfortable to just about everywhere else I have stayed in India. Owners are always on hand to help and advise. Comfy bed, great air con. I planned to stay 4 days but just kept extending my stay. Palolem Beach has got to be one of the worlds best, beautiful views, loads of bars and restaurants and calm, warm sea. Loved it here.

Probably the best place to stay in Palolem. Just a few metres from the beach so no noise at night. Private bathroom so self contained. Indian guests might miss a TV but I didn't as there is only so much cricket that you can watch.

Fantastic owners, amazing location

The owners were fantastic, really lovely and welcoming and can help with advice for places to eat and go. Water and soft drinks you can buy from the fridge in your room at good rates make the trip very easy and is one less thing to worry about! Value for money and location is fantastic - it is a basic room but that’s all you need with all of the bars and restaurants on your doorstep

My first stay in Goa!

I had a lovely stay and this was my first introduction to Goa! The hosts are very friendly, always greeted with a smile, and they will do what they can to make your stay as comfortable as possible. A kettle and coffee was put in my room when asked what I like to drink in the morning, and the fridge was well stocked with cold soft drinks. Lovely peaceful private balcony to sit on. Good shower facilities and comfy big double bed. I had a palm view room. The property is well located. Very central for shops and just a couple of minutes walk to the beach. Thank you for a friendly, happy, relaxing and comfortable stay!

Majoitus on superihana. Omistajat ovat sydämellisiä ja auttavaisia. Sijainti on täydellisen lähellä rantaa, mutta kuitenkin niin, että oli rauhallinen. Aamulla oli ihana herätä lintujen lauluun ja kukon kiekumiseen.

Fabulous friendly guesthouse

Fabulous homestay type guesthouse about 50 metres from wonderful Palolem Beach. Lovely clean rooms with balcony. Lovely friendly family owners who will help you with whatever you need. Great eating places nearby and Dreams of Palolem bungalows opposite has a wonderful friendly beach bar with great friendly staff that surprisingly come from Nepal. Would highly recommend Hilias Retreat.
