Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomWe liked everything!
Incredibly clean and spacious rooms with very attentive staff. The pools were well maintained, poolside bar is a great touch as well. Excellent breakfast buffet choices, delicious food all round with the lunch and dinner options in the restaurant. Fantastic location being only a short walk from the beach. They also left a complimentary chocolate cake in the room which was one of the best we’ve eaten!

The whole stay was a fabulous experience. Family run, where members of the family personally take time to talk to their guests. The owners look after their staff and this is reflected in the exemplary service provided. Nothing was too much trouble for them. It felt like home and was very comfortable and clean. We had so much fun there and look forward to visiting again.

The property itself is beautiful with 3 pools and the poolside cafe. The food at breakfast and at the cafe was also delicious!

The hotel staff were excellent and so welcoming . They really made our stay a positive experience . The owner is very “hands on” and endeavours to speak with all guests at breakfast to make sure that they are enjoying their stay . We had a junior suite with balcony within the hotel . The room was beautifully clean and extremely spacious . We loved the Sky Bar on the roof of the building - a lovely place to watch the beautiful sunsets over Candolim and to have a meal .

United KingdomThis hotel is very central with the beach, shops and bars near by. The owners are on hand in the mornings and the staff are excellent. With regards to the rooms they are large and clean with a great shower. The facilities around the three swimming pools are very good and the gardeners work hard to keep the outside areas looking good. Nothing seems too much trouble.

We stayed five nights and absolutely loved the hospitality! Every single staff member was very helpful and considerate. Rooms were extremely clean and equipped with every single thing you'd need! The owners made the whole experience very personalized with little gestures like leaving a surprise cake and giving greeting during checkout. We would definitely visit again and recommend this resort to everyone!!

United KingdomThe was absolutely nothing we could fault about this hotel.
Fantastic hotel. Stayed here for 4 nights with my wife in mid January 2025. We have stayed in lots of other places in Goa and this is by far the best hotel we have stayed in. On arrival we were met by friendly helpful staff on reception; check-in was effortless. Our room on the 4th floor was larger than we expected, spotlessly clean, well furnished (huge comfortable bed, sofa, desk, large fridge) and had a balcony overlooking 2 of the hotel's pools and provided a side sea view. The bathroom was equally well equipped with a great shower. Lots of free drinking water provided on a daily basis and we were provided with a complimentary cake left in our fridge at the end of our first day. Breakfast was exceptional with a full range of cooked to order food available (egs, bacon, dosas etc) and a very good buffet serving Indian and European food - the best hotel breakfast we have had in Goa. Again, the staff in the restaurant are excellent and you will get a personal hello from the hotel manager/chef/hotel owner at every visit to the restaurant. There are 3 spotless pools, in well manicured gardens, each with their own sun-beds and the main pool has a pool-side bar. We also visited the rooftop bar/restaurant on an evening. It's primarily a rooftop restaurant but we only had drinks and there was no problem with this. The rooftop is a very pleasant place to while away an evening hour or two overlooking Candolim. It was wife's birthday whilst we stayed and the hotel presented her with a personalised birthday cake and a round of 'Happy Birthday' from literally all the restaurant staff - a very nice touch. This is the only place I would now stay when in Candolim.

United StatesCan't think of anything.
Three of us, myself, my wife and our college son.have been traveling in southern India for 9 days before we reached Goa. The facility, staff, and service have exceeded our expectations. We had a wonderful stay here. The room was spacious and they added one extra bed for our son. The hotel is very close to Candolim beach. It's not as busy or crazy as the famous Baga beach. However, we went to Baga beach for a restaurant with live music. The people at Seashell arranged a taxi for us. The price was very reasonable and it was not far away.

United KingdomLack of sunbeds around the pools was an issue sometimes and service could be a little slow for drinks etc. We were kept awake one night until the early hours when it sounded like a party was going on in the room next door. Restaurant is underused which is a shame as the chef is lovely and the food is good with a good choice of all cuisines.
Great location. Very clean and staff all extremely attentive and friendly.Rooms are huge with everything you need and very clean. Standards are very high which I would expect from a hotel in this price bracket. Great breakfast and we were made to feel at home. The owner is a lovely man who likes to chat to everyone at breakfast. Restaurant and bar prices were very good for a more upmarket hotel. Loved our stay and would definately stay again.
