Location is great. Everything is very close. Besides this all the other things are not so good. The room was decent size, and they had a good mosquito net which we needed very badly. The matrass was unbelievable thin. Bad nights of sleep due to this. The shower gave three drops of water. So you needed the bucket. Worst of... More

A comfortable, cosy guest-house with a friendly and helpful staff. The small kitchen upstairs and a water filter downstairs makes it also a good option for a long-term stay. There is also a laundry service, a small garden with a restaurant (open during high-season) and a rooftop where to sit and watch the sunset. Excellent location in the main tourist... More

We booked this guesthouse based on the glorious comments read on TA. This was our first night in India (for this trip) and gosh .... from outside, very nice location but inside ... the room was really dirty and the mattress was a foam. No way to sleep there. We heard some complaints about the visitors requesting something to eat... More

Well situated, stylish and good value. The room and bathroom were clean, but the floor could have done with a good sweeping. It was quite hot when we stayed and the fan didn't quite do it for my wife. Overall great value for money and had a fun stay.

I'm staying there since several months, I can use the open space on the second floor to paint, some people carve there also, I use the shared kitchen. By the garden back side, you are at 2mn of the beach. Soon the restaurant will open. Good price / quality ratio, very good family atmosphere.

We originally booked for five nights here but only stayed for one. The room was clean and location decent. Our major complaint was that the door to the bathroom had an eight inch gap in it. This meant two things: the a/c did not work very well as room not sealed and we were forced to use mosquito net. If... More
