This hotel is actually a villa divided up into apartments (no kitchen). The rooms are spacious and clean. However, the location is really remote and quiet. It is a five minute walk to the beach and Aguada Fort but anything else seems to be far and would need to get a taxi, which the staff can get for you. Uber doesn’t work in Goa! We booked this in a rush at the airport so we were quite surprised to see the location, however we were pleased by the cleanliness of the rooms given the fact that the property has so many surrounding trees I was sure a bug or lizard would jump out at me. Included breakfast is basic, just toast and Goan bread with some butter and jam and tea. We only stayed two nights. First night we ordered fast food because we were tired from our journey and didn’t know where to find anything. KFC is one of the few outlets that delivers! Second night we wanted to have fish so we asked the staff and within minutes one of them left to the market to get ingredients for our dinner. They cooked us up some delicious fresh fish that we’ve been talking about for a while now! At first when we arrived we were really hesitant about the property but it turned out quite okay.

Lorenzo and his staff provide warm hospitality , genourous assistance and good humour in a pleasing environment.

The staff, room and location of Bougainvillea exceeded our expectations. Everyone who works there is friendly and very helpful. Our room was spacious and extremely clean. The location is very quiet (good for light sleepers) and only a short walk to the beach. I hope to return some day. Thank you Lorenzo and Bougainvillea staff for making our visit wonderful.

Best place to stay in goa

from being met at the airport, greeted by the owner on arrival. Staff fabulous, any request were complied with. At the edge of town, 5 mins from beach and 10 mins from the heart of candolim, I was very impressed.

The hotel was good and we had a very good time. There were some minor irritants but overall the hotel was among the best I have stayed at.

Very comfortableand nice place to stay in any season.. Open 365 days.. Very friendly....

Great customer interaction But food has to be ordered in advance for purchasing ingredients Loved the location and the room was great

We loved this place, the cute and spacious suite. The moment we set foot it was relaxing and welcoming. Everything we needed was there for us. We couldn't explore much due to ill health but all that we could, was wonderful - the lush green, the cute kitchen and sitting area, the food restaurants around, the hired bike rides , the calming beach (which was about 10 minutes walk)... The best thing was, the owner Mr. Lourenco himself helped us in our visits to the hospital- the medical tests and what not! A feeling of being at home :)

Stayed here for 5 nights as a couple. Both tired and found the guesthouse very comfortable and welcoming. Situated in a quiet lane, about 10 minutes walk from nearest beach. Local area a bit scattered and not easy to walk for far up the main street due to lack of pavement, but plenty of good eating places. We went to old Goa with Mr. Mario the driver. We stayed in the Hibiscus suite - a lot of room there and a nice outside balcony. Up three flights of stairs.

I think it was not value for money paid even in low season. The hotel staff was good. There is no proper restaurant available. It just has a kitchen manned by a chief where you need to order in the morning if you would like to have lunch/ Dinner. There are hidden charges for everything. Like they did not inform us on the extra charges for breakfast. Breakfast included in the room rate was only juice and coffee/tea/ toast. Anything else was charged and this was not informed to us until the check out. The rooms are ok but for the price charged there are no amenities like telephone, LED TV, coffee/tea maker, WIFI in rooms etc which usually hotels of such standard and price have.

We booked the guest house for 3 nights in June 2014 after reading very positive reviews from previous guests. But still had some apprehension if all this could be true. After staying at the guest house, now I can also vouch for their hospitality and will stay again on the next trip to goa. Care is taken in every aspect from cleanliness of the rooms or fresh flowers or helping you on your taxi hire or by just coming out on the road with umbrellas if you are getting out of the car and its drizzling. Special mention about Lourenco and Freddie, who are warm and helpful to you. You have to inform in advance if you want to have lunch or dinner in the guest house, as everything is prepared fresh (tasteful food). This could be a minor problem if you have a sudden change in plan and want to have dinner in guest house without informing earlier like in our case due to heavy rains. But here also, the staff go out of their way to help you out as Lourenco drove me to a restaurant (there are many restaurants nearby) for taking a takeaway and then brought me back to the guest house. Doubt if any other hotel will provide you such services.

Very Good Hotel to stay and Owner , Lorenzo, and all of the staff were genuinely friendly, taking an interest in helping us enjoy our stay to the fullest extent.

it was simply superb..very lovely people taking care of all your needs. I just enjoyed my stay. Planning to visit them again by the end of this year. Special thanks to Laurence and Freddy. :-)

We stayed here for two nights and had a lovely time due to the fab guys who run the place. Lorenzio was an absolute star. They greeted with coffee which was a nice touch and the breakfast was also very nice and really cheap, as was the mini bar. Our room was massive, came with lockable draws which was handy and it was kept very clean as were the really lush grounds. The location is also top, being 10 mins from the beach and about 10 mins from nice restaurants and a top nightclub if that's your thing in the other direction. Mario the taxi driver is usually in the vicinity and he's also a legend, taking us to old goa and the spice plantation and then up to Anjuna in the evening for such good rates. Overall had a great time, can't reconnect highly enough.

This lill boutique hotel is nestled right next to the Taj and fort aguada. The really clean and quiet sinquerim beach is a short walk away. The property is very quaint and lovely. The staff is other worldly with with service. Never have I seen such attention to detail that I usually see only at 5 star hotels. For example they had fresh flowers in the room for us as we arrived. The service is just fantastic as the staff treat you like royalty. Definitely recommend a stay here when ever one gets to aguada.

This guest house is located about 30 minutes out of town/ airport. However the area is very beautiful. I felt right at home. I reserved the best room in the house and was not disappointed. The top floor apartment has wonderful views and a large terrace. There is AC in both the spacious living room and bedroom. Both rooms have a TV. Bed was excellent quality and everything was so clean. The best part of the stay was the personal attention of Lorenzo, Freddie and the rest of the staff. I appreciated that through Lorenzo we could have trustworthy taxi drivers. 2 Ladies on our first night out, driver Mario made sure we go to our restaurant safely and was always looking out for us. The following days driver George also went beyond what is expected to accommodate us. Both drivers were very pleasant. Lorenzo also helped me out when I needed to exchange money. The short walk to the beach is pleasant, the beach is beautiful and clean. Close by there are restaurants and shops. Excellent location. The atmosphere is such that you connect with other travelers. On the 2nd nite we went out for dinner with a fellow guest and enjoyed wonderful company. We had met while hovering around the wireless modem downstairs. Lorenzo promised he would upgrade the wireless internet set up so that it would also reach to the higher floors.

This is a great little hotel about a 10 minute walk from the beach (along a quiet little road). It's surrounded only by local homes and a few little guest houses. Once you're on the beach, there are lots of beach shacks with great food but if you want a high-end fancy dinner overlooking the beach, the Taj hotel is right at your beach entrance (10 mins from the guest house). The BEST thing about this hotel, however, is the top-rated SERVICE we received. The owner, the driver, the kitchen staff,... everyone is incredibly helpful, kind & genuine - as good as (if not better) than any staff we've met at any 5-star hotel. They all truly go above and beyond to make your stay pleasant. Twice we made last-minute changes to our booking and the owner accommodated us easily. (Call them directly for availability as booking websites said they were fully booked.) Our room was clean and spacious with fans and a/c with a nice balcony. The breakfasts were delicious (we especially loved the Goan bread and the bacon). All meals are available (we ate breakfasts there every morning). Good wi-fi, last minute middle-of-the-night airport pick-up,... we just can't say enough. Special thanks to Lourenco, Mario and Freddy for your genuine hospitality and making our stay at your guest house so memorable.

Checked into room after a harrowing ride with speedy Gonzales, make sure you get Krishna as a driver to avoid this. The smell of the fresh flowers in my foyer were magnificent, the Roos are Hugh and well appointed. I was in101 with a lovely balcony. It's quiet and isolated and you can hear the birds chirping. Didn't know the breakfast was extra and I was already in krisnas cab when I got the bill, about 660 rupees about 12 dollars for 3 days. My only suggestion would be to charge more for the rooms and include coffe and pastry as it is far to find an open restaurant.

Great experience, everybody at the hotel was very friendly and helpful and made our stay very enjoyable.

can't fault this lovely guest house, more like a five star hotel. nothing was out of place or too much trouble. loved our stay there
