Descent Hotel for a short stay
Reason to select this property is that this property has a descent swimming pool and good greenery within the property which improves the visible appreciation of this property. Rooms are Okay with optimum facilities. Food is okay. The aircondition was too noisy. Overall the feel of this hotel is family freindly. I was with my 2 years daughter and even with other minor shortcomings this place has family freindly feel.

Fair hotel for the location, below average service
The hotel is in a very convenient location. Other than that, WiFi was promised but never worked so we were without any internet connectivity for the duration of the stay. Breakfast was okay but had only 2-3 items per day, all vegetarian. The room was clean and had a separate living area: other than that, not much to write about. Cable transmission was grainy and inconsistent. The hotel had a swimming pool that was heavily used but not sure how frequently it was cleaned. Parking is a problem here- very limited. We were locked in on the last day (cars on both side of a narrow lane behind the building) and the management provided no help at all so we had to wait and keep asking other customers ourselves till we found the right people to move the cars blocking us. This wasted 30-45 min of our time.

Close to beaches not worth for the money we paid
Regular room was pathetic, old furniture dirty washroom and dust everywhere that me & wife had allergic reaction. After seeing the room I paid extra to upgrade the room to 1bed apt which was still better than the regular room. Breakfast was included but we didn't eat it as it didn't look great

singleton holiday
Only lasted 3 nights out of 3 weeks booked. Communications between booking agents and the hotel were almost non existent. After my third night I was given a bill to pay for my whole stay as they said the booking agent had not paid them! I packed and found another hotel, but then they found the transfer. By this stage it was too late, the hotel was not up to an english tourist standard, breakfast Indian only, room dated, breakfast indian only, pool looked dirty, no one knew where the gym was, wifi poor, location not as indicated. So poor I left and may lose all my prepaid hotel fees.

Dingy hotel, down a long dark lane
The hotel is in dire need of renovation. The bathroom was disgusting, the interior and exterior paintwork were awful - chipped and dirty. The corridors were dark and dismal - day and night. I would not recommend anyone stays at this hotel until it is completed gutted! Add to this the noise of people shouting throughout the night and it's altogether a most unacceptable location for a peaceful holiday. In fact, we left after 9 days.

Decent location- though wouldn't recommend it if you were looking for something within walking distance to the beach. Hotel in desperate need of renovation- right from their rooms to restaurant to linens and cutlery. Pool also needs to better maintained.

Very Good...much better than expected
Very Good...much better than expected. Finding the hotel was a bit difficult as its off the main road inside in the winding road. Rooms were 1 BHK flats which included drawing room+Kitchen+Bedroom+Small terrace; very comfortable. Cleanliness was OK, service staff could have been better. Hotel was around 250-300 meters away from bustling Candolim suburb. Needs to be careful during night walk towards hotel as its bit secluded road from the main road. Condition and upkeep of hotel could have been better. The hotel needs to be well lit, all dim lighting everywhere. Wifi was only working in ground floor and 1st floor not working 2nd floor onwards. Food quality was just acceptable. Overall was a good stay.

Its an Ok hotel. The room service during day time was good. But after midnight there would be no room service. The rooms were reasonable. A 1 km walk from the beach was helpful. Overall an OK stay.

Terrible
This hotel is disgusting and I refused to stay here. The room was filthy and had obviously not been cleaned between guests. There was urine on the toilet seat, suspiscious stains on the bedding and short black hairs on the sheets. We did not stay here and as our booking was non-refundable, lost the cost of three night's accommodation by doing so, which was completely overpriced. The room was very large and would have been nice if it had been cleaned and maintained.

Reasonably priced hotel for Indian Travellers.
This hotel is generally suitable for Indian travellers looking for a reasonable plce to stay within a good price. The hotel rooms were clean and the staff promptly attended to your needs on room cleaning or other laundry needs. The hotel compound is large and clean. The beach is within walking distance (Almost 900 metres). The pool is good, but it could do with a little cleaning.There was no life gaurd or towels provided at the pool site. The food quality needs to improve especially the breakfast which had very limited choice.

The excellent Goviea
The Hotel was excellent and all of the staff were very friendly and approachable. The buffet breakfast was a big hit with us as we could have both continental and Indian delicacies and the staff took good care of us, they even made my porridge every day without prompting. The Executive room was very spacious and clean, all in all it was a good experience. Both my wife and I would gladly go back there next time and will be happy to recommend this establishment to all our friends and family.

Goveia Holiday Homes is a GOOD place to stay
Goveia Holiday Homes is a good hotel to stay near Candolim Beach. It's also close to Calangute Beach & if u hv a car, then it will take around 10 mins by car to reach Calangute beach. Management is good & prompt at everything. We stayed in this hotel for 5 days in March 2012. Initially we booked for 3 days through expedia. Later on when we again extended our stay in this hotel by booking for another 2 days, once again through expedia, we were alloted the same room!!!.....although this depends on availability too......For the record we stayed in an executive suite ac room!!!!....for the entire duration of 5 days!!!...Swimming pool is properly maintained, only the slide that enters the pool is not used nowadays.........food is good....only the goan items are not that up2 the mark, but in general the non veg items which we tried out are good!!!...

Don't go there!
We have visited Candolim many times, but the first room we were given at Goveeia holiday homes was the dirty in every sense. The bathroom door was filthy,never been wiped and was rotten at the bottom because there was a constant pool of water by it. The toilet had urine streaks running down the pedistal and the sink was coated in grime. The blankets on the bed has stains on, pillows were grey rather than their original white colour, and the walls were covered in large dirty areas, especially around the light switches. We had requested a pool view and on the first floor: this room was facing the rear, overlooking the rubbish dump and was on the second floor. The toilet in reception was so dirty that desperate as I was, I couldnt bring myself to use it. Water dripped onto my left shoulder as I entered, and onto my right shoulder as i beat a hasty retreat. We asked to be moved but the manager said it would not be possible for 3 days as the hotel was full. After contacting the booking agent, who very promptly contacted him, we were moved to a much better room the next morning.We only had breakfast once, as the state of the dining area was of the same standard as our first room. This hotel is not worth the money and there are many better hotels for much less in Candolim. The only really helpful member of staff was the very pleasant bell boy. He needs a medal.

Excellent choice of budget hotel!
This hotel is located about a 5minute walk off the main road, it is about a half an hour walk to the main bulk of restaurants, and a 10/15minute walk to the beach. The beach is much quieter and cleaner than the Calangute end. For a budget hotel, the quality of room is more than sufficient. There is a mini bar which offers drinks and snacks at a reasonable rate. There was also air conditioning and cable tv. The staff were helpful and the food at the restaurant was good. The only negative thing was that we did not use the swimming pool as the local pigeons used it as a bath! However, the beach is close enough that this did not matter.

Star rating for hotel questionable
The hotel is in a quiet location, though not near the beach. The quietness of the hotel was compromised by big groups from Delhi, Mumbai & other north Indian cities who caused chaos at the hotel & overwhelmed the guests as well as the hotel staff. This was made worse by hotel apartment owners who carried on with loud, noisy parties lasting up to 3.00 am in the morning. We could not get any sleep & repeated phone calls to hotel reception were ineffective, indicating an ineffective security system at the hotel.

Not what they advertise
The room was dingy. View of a driveway and wall. Loud air con. The lights didn't all work. The room was dark. The fridge froze our Beer. The Bed Broke and was really hard. The promised in room internet does not exist and the "reception" internet was unreliable at best so on Christmas talking to our family on the "internet" was all but impossible.The shower was often cold. Pool was dirty. Totally overpriced for what you get.

Decent Budget Choice
Good: Free internet (although connection in my room was a bit shaky), very reasonably priced (even the mini-bar). Bad: Definitely a budget choice - room was spartan and somehow a frog found its way into my toilet. Also, there are a lot of other options that are more conveniently located closer to the beach. This hotel is about a 5 minute walk to the main road, then another ~10 minutes to the beach.

At the time of booking it was clearly mentioned that for childrens beds will be required and whatever was asked to be paid was paid. Inspite of this charges were levied for additional beds and we did not have any resort to whom to speak. Very negative aspect of not honouring the terms of the booking. Also other facilities such as different hotel rates for dinner package and for pickup and drop facility was not made available to us online customers which would have made our trip more comfortable

Très bon rapport qualtié/prix
Personnel agréable et souriant. Anglais assez limité mais on arrive tout de même à se comprendre. Chambres, parties communes et piscine propres et bien entretenues. Chambre suffisamment équipée à mon goût: cuisine avec réfrigérateur,écran plat, WIFI gratuit mais qui rame un peu aussi bien par son débit que par les déconnexions intempestives. Literie propre mais peu confortable: un simple planche en guise de sommier, ais matelas et oreillers corrects. Le Full English Breakfast dont je rêvais est proposé au menu, j'en rêve encore :( Comme dans beaucoup d'hôtel, le retrait de la clé de de son logement coupe le courant; de fait plus d'AC ni frigo... c'est un peu dur après une journée de plage à 38°C, mais avec un brin de jugeote il est facile de régler le problème... Je cherchais un week-end à Candolim a budget mini, j'en ai eu pour mon argent et suis prêt à renouveler l'aventure dans les mêmes conditions pendant 8 à 10 jours. Petit bémol toutefois: la chambre de mon amie était de qualité assez inférieure... roulette russe!

Missed the pick up at the Airport.The room had only a doublebed + 2 spares one was broken. They fixed it the next day .We was put in the fourth floor no elevator and it smelled badly from burning garbage outside . The location was a distance from the beach and we had to pass a very busy road or take taxi. The pool had green water and didn,t work .Three Days later they sad that it was fixed but the water was still Dirty so the Children couldn,t use it. The stay in Goa was great and we can return but not to this hotel

Hotel passabile appena appena
Siamo arrivati tardi alla sera al ceck in, ci hanno rifilato una stanza vicino alla stanza dell'house keeping ,dove squillava continuamente il telefono a vuoto, ed i camerieri facevano chiasso. Sbagliavano sempre a portare qualche cosa nelle camere, e quindi ci disturbavano continuamente.colazione passabile, posizione hotel buonissima.Contando che pero'stiamo parlando di India....tutto sommato sufficiente.
