Palolem Guest House

Hostel

Awesome hostel with positive vibes. Staff are friendly and well maintained beds and washrooms. Palolem beach is just 5 mins walk from here, which makes this hostel the best. Would definitely recommend this!

Lovely clean rior we stayed in the off season so it was superb. Staff were great and really helpful-fantastic value of money and Very close to the beach. Which is beautiful — would definitely recommend:)

Optimal combination of price/quality, friendly and helpful staff. Enjoyed.

Comfortable and apt for Solo Travelers. Nice chill place as well. Rooms are neat and clean. Prices are reasonable. Recommended for solo travelers for sure.

Very nice and pleasant stay. Place is clean, staff is polite and helpful. You get breakfast here specially Poha which we did not get near by areas. Tea is nice as well. This place is good for groups as well as for Families and single travellers. It amenities to play like cricket, volly ball, Football. You get books to read. Very well maintained and managed. It's just two km from Canacon Railway station which is walkable 24 mins. It's close to Palolem beach. Great job guys.

An amazing place to stay at. Super clean room equipped with mini fridge, super soft matress, a big mirror, a table and a couch. Beach is very near. Located amidst greenery and a serene location.

Good Guest House with nice spacious and clean rooms. The restaurant food was sumptuous and tasty.

Awesome and comfortable stay. Rooms are very nice and clean. Stuufs are good. 1km from beach. Very peaceful stay.

If you love meeting new people from different countries on your trip, spend a day here and I am sure you will be friends with half a dozen youngsters.

Super modern and clean rooms. It has a restaurant with the best meals we tried in Palolem. How to test every part of the letter. The service is slow.

Very recommended!
We stayed in the apartment for 10 days, without a doubt the best place to stay in Palolem.
The apartment is new and very clean, comfortable beds, excellent air conditioners, really feels like a five star hotel.

I have been here for 3 days, they are treating you with great hospitality, they will make you revisit again They provide you a induction stove for cooking yourself, they are having a laundry, I LOVED THE PLACE, I will prefer same place next time too THANK YOU :) DANISH BHAI, VIJAY AND VISHAL.

Staffs are not very friendly, ok a littlebit non professional and restaurant is too much overpriced.

Hostel type accommodation with friendly staff & clean rooms. You can meet lot of new people here. Situated 10 min walk from palolem beach, 15 min walk from cancona station, 5 min ride to patnem beach & 5 min walk to main road from where you can get buses to madgaon at interval of 15 min each.

Nice rooms, some nicer than others. Great helpful staff.

Lovely and clean, restaurant onsite serves fantastic fresh food, rooms cleaned daily on request, close to beach but far enough from beach to have peaceful restful sleep, tvs in room.

Brilliant place for a peaceful stay & great food. Worth the money.

The hostel has clean rooms. They don't have a/C. Very uncomfortable, hard mattresses, almost like sleeping on the floor. The price is very high, you can get private rooms at sea for the price of two people at that hostel. Breakfast changes everyday, Indian food, interesting. The outdoor environment is shared with animals (dogs, ducks). It is not very close to the beach and the hike is somewhat stressful towards there with all the bikes and TUCTUC, especially at night when the street is not well lit. A good thing: to be able to share with other people at the garden Round table. Regular Wifi (sometimes enough sometimes not)

Very good place to stay. A bit expensive but ambience is good.

The most expensive place to pay in India and more uncomfortable.

Stayed here during my visit to South Goa in October. Walkable from Palolem beach. Budget friendly.

A good place to stay. Nice ambience and peaceful. Rooms might seem a bit small but quality makes up for it.

Pros :the hostel is generally clean and well maintained. 2km from train station, 10 min walking from market and beach. Average price. Cons : the whole hostel doesn't have keys or handles at the doors, That means that everyone can walk in and out from your room wich makes it very unsafe. Management unfriendly. Guests aren't allowed to use the gas cooker in the kitchen so you can cook only with a microwave. Common areas are limited to a set of cushions in the garden to share with dogs. Early check in allowed only paying extra 300INR. Bed sheets are all stained. Hot water lasts for about 3minutes. An extra bed has been placed on the floor of my room which made the 8beds room a 9bed and took away half of the walking space available.

Very good place to enjoy. Cool place, nice guest house, clean & higenic, good staff.

Decent beds with the option of a. C. Dorms and showers, although during our stay the water pressure was often too weak to have a shower. They had most amenities you'd expect from a chain backpacker hostel (laundry, Wi-Fi, bike rental) but let themselves down in other ways. I found the staff to be a bit anal when it came to certain aspects. We arrived earlier that expected at 5.30am and were very tired, a few hours before our check in time and were not allowed to go to sleep until then even though the beds were empty. We were told to sleep on a tiled floor which they call the 'living room'. We eventually managed to sleep in some used beds as there were people checking out early, but only after kicking up a fuss. We had a similar experience on checkout, the staff became impatient and agitated we were all rushed out of our beds at exactly 11am only to have nobody replace us and I was not allowed to purchase a coffee from them since it was past my checkout time (I would've understood if I was trying to swing a few coffee). Due to these reasons I sometimes found the staffs reception to be quite cold and unwelcoming, on other occasions they were friendly and helpful. We never knew which side of them we'd see. I wouldn't recommend the laundry service, it's per garment they told me they didn't charge for smaller items, only trousers and t-shirts. They charged me for everything apart from my socks, and the clothes came back smelling worse (I wasn't the only one).

They don't provide drinking water for free. Surprise to me. Never seen another hotel in India not providing free drinking water to the customer staying.

Stayed at a 8 bed mixed dorm. Bed, dorm and bath are all clean and maintained. Best place to stay when traveling solo. Usual crowd staying there is in age group 20-30. It is situated almost 600 meters from the beach.

Rooms though is new with wood work and neat, rooms are small. Felt very expensive for the room quality and location. Any food order has to be given 1 hour before. But taste of the food was really good. No good view from the rooms.

Dorm rooms with attached bath, good for casual travel, economical and budget accommodation, courteous staff, good environment.

Rooms are too small. No room services. They do not have serve even water. The behavior of the staff is extremely bad especially the reception people. This guest house is very far from the beach. In total the experience all together is extremely disappointing.

Clean but small rooms. Far from the sea, there is no direct way to the beach. The restaurant at this hotel is not cheap, on the beach to eat cheaper. Very friendly staff. Wi-Fi is original-you need to dial the password each time you connect.

One of the better hostels I came across. Good rooms, clean, well maintained, chill area is awesome. Staff if friendly and honest. Do add few board games and books to make stay even better.

The hostel is situated right near the bus-stop so that's one great point of staying there. Rent-a-bike shops are abundant near the property and it also has a pretty good Wi-Fi connectivity and a small kitchen for you to keep your beer crates or your need for the morning black coffee. There is also a helper who will make breakfast/lunch/dinner if you let him know at the earliest. Brendon is a cool guy at the reception and will help you know the nearby sightseeing locations. City maps should have been provided as stated i. E one down point. The room that I stayed had an aircon, so it's great. All in all, great location and property. Thumbs up!

Very pleasant stay… loved it very much. Looking forward to stay here for my next trip as well!

Nice place to stay. 300 mtrs from beach by shortcut. Downside is the distance from the restaurants. Yiu need to go approx 1km before you find a good restaurant where u can have dinner. After a long tiring day. All the walking takes a toll on ur body. The food menu is good but with limited options. Which u cant have for ur entire stay. It is very quiet place and I like it while sleeping as there is no noise coming out from he neighbouring rooms or nearby places. We had a good experience at this place. I you want a peaceful holiday, away from the partying crowd, you can try this place.

This is a quiet place near palolem Beach. Rooms are really cosy and comfortable. And the manager is very friendly and helpful.

Basic, should renovate the bathroom.

It is small village and far from all towns. The beach is only a name. No shop no convenience, taxi is without options and having the double rates. The station is very bad and the guest house is unable to provide even the drinking water, warm drinking water we demanded was not in approach as we demanded with several requests. It is our advice for all new comers that they should not make online booking for this location and should not go with low rates. In comparison to whole costing it will costly.

An okish but functional hostel with helpful but not very knowledgeable staff. Also the semi-pet dogs tend to think the bunks as their own.

The place is pretty clean and the service is also decent. Good for a short stay as the rates are also less and right on the beach, so good place to hangout with friends too.

A Good budget hostel. I stayed in a mixed dorm of 8 for 3 nights. The property has good ambience overall and the people make you feel welcome. 10 mins away from palolem and has good shops/cafes all around. The room was a bit hot, but given that it was summer when I visited, I would say it was still alright! Keep up the good work :)

Was stayed couple of nights there and it's good Beach is 5 mins walk, staff is good and had some good meals here Will recommend for solo travelers.

Great Hostel! It was a wonderful experience to stay here! The staff is friendly and very helpful. The rooms and bathrooms are clean and well maintained. I have nothing to complain about. The atmosphere is very relaxing. It's only a 10 to 15 min walk to the beach. Restaurants are also within walking distance, but the hostel offers food as well. You can order thali for only 80 rupies, breakfast is also available. I would stay here again! :)
Wunderbares Hostel! Die Räume sind sauber, die Angestellten sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Der Strand ist nur 15 min zu Fuß entfernt, Restaurants sind auch in der Nähe zu finden. Das Hostel selbst bietet ebenfalls Essen an, für nur 80 Rupies kann man Thali bestellen. Ich komme gerne wieder! :)

Had been on a road trip to Goa a couple of weeks back with a friend. We had opted for a private room. Very close to the beach and the market. The room was well maintained and the lawn outside was also great.

One of the best beaches in Goa. The waters ate good and this is the place where many foreigners come. Amazing and mind blowing beach.

I loved it here! The staff is extremely helpful and fun. Awesome backpacker atmosphere, there's always people hanging around the common area outside, and the staff organized some fun games at night too. Location is good, very short walk to Paloem beach. Rooms are standard hostel rooms, clean by Indian standards. Wish I could have stayed longer!

Very cute yellow house, very spacious, with a nice frontyard illuminated with lanterns. Best thing about it: amazing complimentary breakfast, freshly cooked by friendly and very sweet staff every morning. You get something different everyday and it always comes with a little cup of delicious masala tea. They also make dinners (that you order beforehand in the morning). For only 120 rupees, we got a veg thali, once again very nice, and they even refill your plates if you want more. I am a big fan of their cooking team. The manager is always at the front desk, ready to help you out with anything, which is always appreciated.

An average place (not a coco hut) to stay in Palolem. It's bit further from the beach, but still in a pleasant walking distance. Decent breakfast is served here.

Amazing experience! We love having our own space to cook and to enjoy breakfast on the verandah. I would suggest they outfit the kitchen a little better though. A good frypan and a toaster makes life so good! We left behind a nice little tea pot and strainer for you. We would come back in a second.

Awesome place :) Very nice guest house, very clean. We felt as if we were at our own home :)

Great place, had fun time here :)

Had an amazing time at the Om Sai guest house — beautiful large traditional Goan room with hot running water, air con, fridge, TV and lovely balcony — the guys that worked there were extremely hospitable and nothing was a problem — if you're lucky enough to be there in February Gaurav who owns the guest house has his birthday and throws a big party where everyone is invited — great fun — I will definitely be going back next year — Juliet (London).
