Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

After a four-year absence have just returned from Goa. We stayed at the beautiful Pousada Tauma hotel in Calangute. The lovingly maintained lush gardens, gorgeous orchids and being surrounded by nature create an oasis of calm and relaxation, along with a spotless 23 metre pool to help cool off and exercise. Our poolside room was delightful, furnished with old Goan charm and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Thank you!

Pousada Tauma and the Copper Bowl therein are an Experience. not to be confused with 'a nice place to eat' etc. the environment, the ambience, the architecture, the hospitality, the food, the drink, the stories, the effort that's gone in to making this little paradise, are all the ingredients that brings together this amazing experience. you are truly lucky if you not only get a chance to visit but also 'feel' the experience. For me it was a memory that got created which will always remian.

Meanwhile I’m back at home since 3 weeks but my thoughts are still at the Pousada Tauma and the Beach House. It was my 15 th stay there and it’s really always increasing. The beautiful garden is a jewel, year after year to see the improvement is a pleasure. Neville is a perfect host and also the staff is attentive and helpful, also Kevin, the admirable chief, responsible for the delicious food. Another highlight is the Beach House, managed by Neville and Joshua, the son, supported by Sky and Bisquit, the adorable family dogs. An unexpected peaceful place at the Calangute beach. Palm trees and another exotic plants around the restaurant with local food and specialities from Kevin, recreating drinks, fruits Comfortable beach lounger are available and to top it all an awesome sunset. Hope to be there 10 months later again

Bang on the cleaner and quieter side of Calangute beach is Pousada !! The food was outstanding with fresh, clean, simple and soul satisfying tastes ! Even the pasta ordered for the kids was lip smacking! The pork vindaloo earns a special mention as it was perfectly spiced, aromatic and flavourful, infact the best I have had in a long time. The place is completely managed by the father son duo and they are incredible hosts and make sure the food reaches the table even before you try to look up for it ! When in Goa, Pousada is a must ! We all came out feeling yummy in the tummy!

Once again we stayed at Pousada Tauma - it was like coming home! This fantastic place is blessed with a beautiful and peaceful garden. Specially furnished rooms and a nice restaurant with delicious food. Very helpful and friendly staff and management. One more highlight is the beach house. Very pleasent with a lot of privacy among palm trees and flowers. The ideal place for a relaxing day with local food. We come again! Peter from Switzerland

We visit Goa every year. This year we stayed over New Year at the hotel and eat there every week whilst in Goa. The hotel continues to be an oasis of calm and beauty with excellent food and service. We always feel like members of the family . Dining there each week is a treat we never tire of. If you want somewhere special give it a whirl.

Pousada Tauma is an oasis of calm in northern Goa. It's unique and beautifully appointed rooms, lovely pool and garden provide a fantastic setting for a romantic stay or with family. We greatly enjoyed our stay. The staff could not have been kinder or more helpful. Everything was done to ensure we enjoyed our stay. The food at their beach restaurant was delicious. We would recommend it to anyone looking for a charming, comfortable and characterful place to stay in Goa and we would definitely stay there again.

We stayed at Pousada Tauma for 4 nights in early March 2017. From the moment you enter the jungle gardenyou are transported far from the noise of Candolim to a bird filled, green oasis. Neville and Matthew were both welcoming and efficient. Matthew was always on hand to help, organise taxis, crack open a coconut, make strong coffee, and generally make sure we had everything we needed. Great Ayurvedic massages from the very authentic Ravi, and breathing lessons from Yoga instructor Elvin. The pool is beautiful, the papaya lassis delicious, and we would love to stay here again.

If you are looking for a quiet place in the chaotic noisy Calangute please open the gate to POUSADA TAUMA. A boutique hotel in very calm and silent setting. Surrounded by tropical trees the few bungalows are arranged around the gorgeous swimming pool. Lovely built rooms, some with separate terrace, are very comfortable. If you have breakfast on your own terrace, chirping birds and sometimes other curious animals like squirrels or mungos have a look and prepare you a happy morning start. All the meals will be prepared by the talented chef Kevin, supported by Mathew, the main person for the round-the clock- service. Neville, the owner and his wife Angelica, his son Joshua and all their staff are friendly, hospitable, always checking in on you. In special situations the two jounger sons Yohahnn and Zoran also help to make the guests feel comfortable. To the BEACH HOUSE the shuttle service can be ordered at any time. There are no wishes that remain unfulfilled - only one: come back again. A heartfelt thanks to the POUSADA FAMILY

Very Lovely romantic place in north Goa. A boutique hotel in very calm and silent setting, yet all the happening places are easily accessible (not for those who want to stay in flashy 5 Star hotels). Matthew is exceptional in hospitality and leaves no stone unturned to make your stay comfortable. Surrounded by tropical trees, swimming pool right in front of each room, plus the flexibility they offer is unparalleled. What differentiates this place from every other is their attitude - they genuinely want to make your stay great and take that extra step to ensure the same. Neville - the owner - is so approachable and warm, that it makes you feel very comfortable. Do not hesitate to seek assistance from Matthew / Neville - they are more than happy to help you.
