    Bit of a walk to Arambol beach. Had to ask for the fridge to be unlocked every time we needed it - maybe would be better to have private fridge inside/outside each room.

    Clean, comfortable, friendly staff. So nice having a private pool!

    We had a wonderful four day stay. Our hostess Amarjit took good care of us and the owner was also very helpful arranging things we needed. Rooms were clean and nicely designed. Kitchen was clean and available for the guest. Lovely clean swimming pool, nice to cool down in the afternoon. 5 min walk to a beautiful and not crowded beach where it’s possible to surf. Several restaurants with good food and service. 30 min walk along the beach to a nice lake in the jungle. Lots of good shops behind Arambol beach,not far from tthe lake. Great place to stay when you’re in Goa. 45 min tax drive to Manohar international airport.

    Nothing to complain about.

    My stay in SOLS Backyard was just lovely! I don’t remember staying in such a good place like this before. The whole house is extremely clean and smells so nice (even the stairs hahaha). The kitchen has all the equipment you need to cook a meal. The room is comfortable and has a cozy balcony. The outside area is huge and so nice, the pool, the bed chairs, and they even provide a pool towel. The staff were super nice and very helpful. It is 5 minutes walking to Arambol Beach, there are some fruit shop and restaurant also walking distance. It’s a peaceful and calm place to stay that definitely is worth the price! The pictures are very accurate and I recommend the stay there.

    The requirement for 2000 rupee deposit is annoying. It took a lot of communication to arrange for room inspection for checkout and then I had 2000 rupees cash right before leaving the country.... The kitchen could use a thorough cleaning. There is definitely a discrepancy between the staff's understanding of cleanliness and European standards. The dishrack is moldy and there are ants everywhere. The quality of the pots and pans not so nice to cook in.

    The building is close to the beach in a quiet area, inside a lovely courtyard. The common area upstairs is amazing with the hanging chair, lounge bed, table. The bedroom had a decent bed/bedding, a clean bathroom of great quality, and a lovely private balcony. Would stay here again.

    I loved everything about this property. This place was beautiful and calm. It was spacious green. It had a kitchen which we used to make breakfast which helped us save a lot of money. I love the balcony and the view of the garden. It has everything you need for comfortable. Stay for a vacation.

    We arrived later than expected and notified the owner and staff, but due to the lack of phone reception, receiving the wifi password beforehand would have been helpful. Unfortunately, we were disturbed about 45 minutes after our anticipated arrival when staff knocked on our door. Additionally, the bedroom door was quite noisy when opening and closing.

    The location was great, nice garden and quiet place. The communication with the owner was really good. The staff were very friendly and welcoming.

    The property itself it’s a quiet place immersed into thousands of shades of green, it was great to wake up in such a peaceful environment. The room it’s simple, but it has anything you need. We never had problems with facilities like AC and hot water were always working. One thing I also enjoyed a lot is the balcony. The picture will talk :) The owners asked us many times if we needed anything, they are super friendly and you can tell they care a lot about customers. We were supposed to stay only one week and ended up being there for 3.. super recommended if you are looking for a handy, quiet place while enjoying Arambol

    1. The owner first tried to charge extra money for willing to pay by credit card ( extra % for card which was not mentioned in the description on Booking.com). Also, he texted me via WhatsApp at 1am that I have to check out at 10am otherwise I will have to pay 1000 rupees for each hour (NB: checkout time on booking.com is mentioned 9-11 am) That behavior was simply rude and inappropriate. 2. I didn’t find the room and the bedding tidy enough (dust in the wardrobe, dirt in the bathroom, etc) 3. The hotel area seems nice, but as you go outside there’s too much garbage, especially on the way to the beach. As I moved to another hotel, I discovered that not all the places in Goa look that apocalyptic.

    Mostly it’s cozy and practical. Swimming pool is a good bonus. There’s a possibility to use a kitchen. AC and WiFi work well. Staff is really helpful, smiling and friendly.

    I visited Goa during a very heavy monsoon season and managing moisture and humidity inside was tricky for both locals and travellers. The hosts did their best to accommodate but unfortunately the weather really did make it hard to enjoy the holiday and accommodation

    I stayed in the apartment and it had plenty of space. It was clean and the staff were always friendly and helpful

    Nice enough property and everything was clean, but it was not what we were looking for. The place is advertised as a kind of 'homestay' where you might interact with other guests and the hosts. In fact, we never even met OJ and Sparsha, and had limited communication with them via Whatsapp. Had we known this was just another commercial arrangement, we would have booked with one of the many resorts located on the beach itself. Further, we were told there was a cafe open daily but this was not always the case and we felt like we were being a burden by even asking.

    Nice garden, lovely property.

    it was overpriced for what it offered. Check in was far from smooth: staff didn’t know we were coming, repeated disturbance for completing check in - in bits and pieces and noisy.
