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 Arab EmiratesThe WiFi - could do with improving. Kept cutting on and off. Not sure if it’s an issue in the area or this accommodation but needs to be looked into.
Excellent location, excellent staff. We booked the sea view bungalow which was right on the beach. Amazing views! The bungalow came with a porch and a hammock. Very comfortable beds and the room was spacious with a fridge included. The staff were very friendly and the food was good. Great lounge chairs on the beach also which are reserved for guests. All in all a great location to stay in at Palolem beach.

United KingdomWhat a lovely little place! Really a gem. We booked last minute for a weekend away and couldn't have had a nicer time. Amazing location right on the beach, but feels like a quiet hideaway. Wonderful staff, so friendly, genuine and helpful. Comfortable, clean, great food and service. Will definitely be back. Thank you The Nest! You have a fab little place and team.

United KingdomThere was nothing to dislike. Could possibly add a few more hooks for towels etc but it wasn’t essential.
Fantastic location - right on the beach! The rooms are bright and airy with air conditioning. The whole place has a warm welcoming feeling about it and the staff are so very caring. It feels like a real community there. The evidence is the people who come back there year after year. The food is great too! I would definitely return here and stay longer if I came back to Goa. A big thanks to all the staff, especially Neil 😊

AustraliaEverything was perfect for us.
We loved everything about the Nest! Rooms were comfy & clean, with good aircon, fan & mini fridge. There was also a sitting area outside each room. The location is AMAZING, just walk out of your room & onto the beach with sun loungers available for guests. Onsite restaurant has good food with really big portions! The staff were really amazing & looked after us so well, best service we have had in India for sure.

HungaryThe rooms are noisy and rather basic compared to the price.
Nest is one of our favorite restaurants in Palolem, so we wanted to try the rooms too. They are great if you don`t mind paying a premium to stay at the beach. The neighboring places had some loud music some nights, but otherwise, everything was as expected. Staff are friendly and helpful.

PolandLoud music almost every day till late night hours. Poor quality of food in the restaurant - we ordered fresh juice instead we got a one from the bottle we suppose.
The concept of the little house on the beach was amazing. We had a house on the sea front line and it was amazing. Clean and spacious. Lovely and friendly staff, delicious soft drinks. In the hotel complex you can get everyhing you need - a massage, food, manicure, there is also a shop with water, clothes, snacks and beach toys for kids. 10/10 location.

Definitely a recommendation! Super lovely host Mo was always there and caring. I stayed at a beachfront hut, which was absolutely stunning underneath palm trees and overlooking the beach to the sea. Fast, clean and cheap laundry. Also good restaurant.

United KingdomWe loved our stay at The Nest. We had a cabin with a side view of the beach with a comfortable bed, big bathroom with decent shower and aicon and a ceiling fan. The staff were fantastic - friendly, smiling and engaged - we really appreciate them and the owner, Mo. The restaurant does good food, and of course overlooks the beach and sea. I was working some days and it was a joy to work with that view. The internet is ok when working, but this whole area does not have 100% reliable internet, so you have to be patient at times. Between the wifi and my phones 4G, it never caused any issues for me. There are free sunbeds in front of the property on the beach and at night, they set up tables with candles, as do many of the shacks along the beach. We would be delighted to come back!

United KingdomNothing. All good.
Friendly. Beautiful chilled vibe garden room. Still has an old palolem feel while the rest of the beach are building un necessary luxury sea view rooms which spoil the look of the beach. Superb restaurant and super friendly helpful staff. Would definitely stay again.

United KingdomIt is not a 5 star resort and that's totally fine. It would be lovely if those touches like the towels were a bit newer, or if the car park entrance area was less of a mess, but none of those things would stop me from coming back or recommending to everyone. Just know that it's a small family run business in India and make sure your expectations match this.
The Nest is an absolute little gem on Palolem. The layout of the huts is incredible, even from the cheapest and furthest hut you can see the beach. Sand between your toes, plants everywhere, it's just a lovely calm spot. On top of the perfect location, the staff are just out of this world. The friendly, high level of care from the staff is up there with any 5 star hotel out there.

SwitzerlandThe quality of towels could be improved: although they were clean, they seemed to be very old (a couple years?). Perhaps the owner could replace the towels with new ones once in a while? Laundry service was good and affordable, but they spoilt my white pants (brand new) which turned pink. There could be some improvements made to the hotel: it is such a lovely place at prime location, with the kindest staff; but some small renovations and tweaks to quality of products (new towels) and service (like cleaning of rooms every second day) could be provided. The hotel would have much better experience if small investments were made by the owner.
Lovely stay at Palolem beach. The highlight of the hotel is the staff: very kind and genuinely caring about the clients. They went above and beyond to respond to my needs and requests. Service in Palolem places can be rude at times. At The Nest - they are definitely the kindest! The rooms were clean - top notch - the bathroom also, and hot water was always available. The security is top! Food in the restaurant - excellent! Location at one of the best beaches in Goa where you can swim regardless of the weather and swell. I recommend it warmly!
