Guest Reviews
- brosz (10/5): - location perfect for Panjim and North Goa. Deric is world class host on all levels ... world class hospitality. everything was exceptional.
- arno40 (10/5): Très bonne expérience - Duplex très propre et spacieux avec tout le confort et les aménagements nécessaires. Appartement au calme et bien placé pour aller balader en ville ou en bord de mer. Les plus : une terrasse extérieure à l'étage et les petits déjeuners inclus (ceux ci se prennent dans un restaurant juste en face). Hôte prévenant et de bons conseils par ailleurs.
- Helen (10/5): A must stay - The property is in a great location, a short walk from the main sights and a lovely sea walk.
The house is beautiful, clean and comfortable.
Derek went out of his way to help us with recommendations, and onward travel etc.
I would highly recommend staying here. Nothing
- Prabhukhanolkar (10/5): -
- Griff (10/5): - It's a homestay in a period house in a calm residential, tree lined neighborhood. Equal distance from city centre and beach, good selection of eating places nearby. The host, Deric is a very nice man, as helpful as could be. All good
- willem (9/5): Prima verblijf - De mooie plek in de schaduw met fan De ontbijtoptie bij een restaurant
Wij hebben hier 1 x gebruik van gemaakt maar het was erg karig en duurde erg lang
De andere keren dat wij vroeg op pad waren was er bij het restaurant geen vroegere opties beschikbaar
- Pieter (8/5): - Leuk balkon, rustige wijk in druk stadje, leuke koffietent vlakbij Slaapkamer erg donker, geen ramen alleen een deur naar de leuke veranda
- Natalie (10/5): Amazing - The location was the best! Facilities were good, hot shower, comfortable bed, fridge and kettle with tea/coffee. Breakfast included was delicious, buffet style.
The owner was so friendly, polite and helpful. He told us everything in advance so we didnt even need to ask any questions. Highly recommend Nothing, it met all expectations and more
- Sylvie (10/5): - Établissement bien situé, agréable et très bon accueil de notre hôte prêt à nous aider.
Je recommande !
- Antonio (10/5): - Deric was a fantastic host to us, especially as he wasn't feeling his best at the time. We had a large well stocked room with a great outdoor space and Deric's staff were kind and efficient. The property position is quiet, in a lovely residential area, with food options nearby and easy walking to the sights. Deric gave us lots of info, helped with onward travel and was very generous. Best wishes and thank you. Hope Pedro is doing well!
- karen (10/5): Really enjoyed, fantastic value for money. - Lovely outside seating area, Deric was very helpful. Easy walking distance to town and Marimar beach. Nothing, everything was good
- Torbjörn (9/5): A good place, but the owner was even better! - A good location in a quiet nice area.
Spacious and a good balcony.
Nice and friendly owner.
Everything went smooth, which is far from common in India. Generally good, but a bit basic.
- Paul (10/5): - Our stay with Deric was wonderful. He is a very courteous and helpful host. The accommodation was very clean and spacious. The air conditioning as well as the fan made it comfortable to sleep even in high temperatures. Since the place is located on a side street, it is also very quiet.
The option of having breakfast at the restaurant Soul Curry across the street is extremely convenient and the food is delicious. Overall, we can highly recommend this stay and would like to say thank you again!

- George (9/5): Excellent stay in the heart of Panjim - Derek’s property is an absolute gem in the heart of Panjim. It’s located in a quiet neighbourhood. Derek was a wonderful host and allowed for an early check-in / late checkout (much appreciated). He also gave some insights on some of the best places to see around.
The breakfast arranged at the Restaurant opposite the Homestay was good. Being centrally located, you also get to walk/drive to few other restaurants in the vicinity in less than 10mn. You also get parking space adjacent to the Homestay which is a big advantage in case you have a car with you.
Highly recommended for all fellow travellers! Will definitely visit again

- Aseem (10/5): A good homestay close to the historic centre of Panaji — it's good value for money - The property is located in a relatively quiet neighborhood, yet it isn't too far from the action.

- Siddzo (10/5): Exceptional - Very spacious & clean. Location is quiet handy too. Nothing
- Krzysztof (10/5): Exceptional - The host is first class, not only as a host but also simply a very good person. He gave much more of himself than expected.

Breakfast in a very tasteful restaurant right next door. Fair prices. Bez zastrzeżeń
- Medha (9/5): Superb -
- Lalit (10/5): I loved my stay at this place - Denis is a good host. And this place has a beautiful ambience and the location is amazing
- Niccolò (8/5): Relaxed and chill retreat in Panjim - It was precisely what I wanted in Goa: relaxing area, in the green, cute house. The host is amazing, a very nice man who is ready to help with whatever problem or question. Very professional! Position is very good in Panjim but not too chaotic. The breakfast could have a bit more variety, but it's not too bad if you like Indian-style breakfast. Nothing else negative to say really...

The proprietor Deric was very nice, he was there to greet us every morning, was available to talk, and once he also took my aunt and me in his car to buy local goan sausages. He also accommodated my request for last minute room cancellation.
We ate breakfast every morning. It was buffet breakfast, different dishes every day from idli sambar, vada sambar, chutney, poha, sheera, sandwiches and watermelon. It was tasty, hot, and we could have multiple servings. Tea and coffee were included. The staff was gracious and polite, and accommodated our request when we asked to pack sandwiches.

- Jane (10/5): Delightful. 2nd visit to vibrant Panaji. We love it. - The best location - quiet & still central . The terrace with large fan was a delight. Deric, the owner, is a true gentleman. He sorted us out a taxi, gave us complementary Breakfast in the restaurant just opposite & advised my husband where to shop for a cricket shirt. Lovely bloke. The restaurant opposite the door and attached to the hotel is superb. Highly recommend. Nothing.

Wish we had more days to spend here!

It is so peaceful and yet within easy walking distance of shops, restaurants and Fontainhas. The owner, Deric, is incredibly kind, helpful and knowledgeable.

Enjoyed the terrace Sitting…
- Anju (10/5): Best decision to book our stay here! It beat our expectations - It was centrally located and everything was accessible. But best of all was Deric. Such a gracious host, he gave us a complete guide to explore both Panaji and the rest of Goa. He pointed out all the best places to visit and even gave us a map of the city for directions. He was very responsive and proactive, which eventually made our trip a very memorable one. Nothing, 3 people were comfortable here, maybe a bigger party might not work.
- Midhun (10/5): Exceptional - Serene location. Clean rooms.
Mr. Deric is a very friendly person, he helped us plan local sightseeing and recommended some great local shops and restaurants.
Campal garden, Panjim market, fontainhas are all at a walkable distance from the location.
This was a great find!
- Sharma (10/5): Excellent host, value for money stay. - The gestures of the owner Mr Rebello. He was always ready to travel an extra mile to help his guests. He even drove us to a store because, at that time, we were hard press for time, and no early vehicle was available. Thanks Mr Rebello, you were exceptional.
Plus the room was clean, spacious, and the property was situated at very advantageous and posh location.
Complimentry breakfast was good and filling. Couldn't find anything to complain.
- Mendonce (10/5): Excellent - Location is a good. The host Deric is very responsive and helpful person . Felt like home . The breakfast arrangement at the restaurant in hotel campal is absolute value for money . Quite nd peaceful area .
- Pradeep (10/5): Exceptional - It's a centrally located and spacious accommodation. The sitting area outside is a bonus. We loved having our morning tea there. The place is kept very clean. Our host, Deric was a super host. He went out of his way to ensure we had a comfortable stay. The breakfast arrangement in the adjacent restaurant is very convenient and the food was excellent.
It is by far the best property and value for money in Panaji, Goa.
We plan to book this property for our future visits There is nothing to not like.
- Jeevan (10/5): Exceptional - Comfortably located: all local amenities are hands away. Room is clean. All basic facilities available. The owner is very helpful. He even permitted us to check out at 5pm ( rule is 11 an). Staff is also nice. Breakfast is what i liked the most. Nothing negative about this property can be said.
- Khanolkar (10/5): Exceptional - The owner is always available and ready to help.
- Sara (9/5): Short but nice stay in old Panjim. - Deric kindly changed my booking when my flight was cancelled and brought me to a town I needed to meet a train from the following day.
Lovely area.Nice walk by the river.
- Graham (8/5): Overall a Good Stay but Improvements Needed - The best part about Vivenda is the host, Deric. He is a champion. Very welcoming, attentive and especially helpful. He is great.
The next good aspect of Vivenda is the location with its easy access to central / old Panaji plus the low cost bus / free ferry connections to all other parts of Goa.
The final good aspect of Vivenda was the complimentary breakfast. A decent choice and good service from Soul Curry restaurant across the road.
However, having stayed in numerous Home Stays in India over the years, there were other aspects of Vivenda that ought to have been better. Noting Vivenda price is on the high side for a typical Home Stay, the property is very noisy from external road / people disturbance. No insulation. The property interior is also quite tired and in need of deep cleaning. It just need some care and attention. Tiles are missing, walls / floors highly marked and dirty etc. It needs a good clean and paint / repair job.
To finish on a positive, the outside balcony with its seating area / overhead fan is a nice place to sit and relax in the evening. See above
- Bhoemsain (9/5): Superb - The owner isthe best till now i met What i said this owner i so helpfull
- Stephanie (10/5): Beautiful building, outstanding host - Beautiful house/rooms and neighbourhood and a fantastic host. Excellent breakfast across the road. Deric is very observant of his guests, recognises quickly what each person needs and arranged tours and transport for us at extremely reasonable prices. I often travel in Portugal and had an instant "Portuguese country house" déjà-vu upon arrival. The location is walking distance from the city centre, historical district as well as the city beach. Don't miss Panjim, we could easily have stayed a week in this very pleasant city. That we couldn't stay longer :) Ground floor rooms are a bit dark, but mosquito screens are provided and the street is quiet enough to keep the windows open.
- Saloni (10/5): Exceptional - Location was perfect Thin Walls with a lot of noise at night from other rooms
- Lyn (10/5): Location, clean tidy, comfortable beds, wonderful helpful host. - Excellent homestay location, very friendly and helpful host (Deric) who offers suggestions to us all the way from booking to departure. This is an old house with several rooms/small apartment with AC, fan etc. As a senior couple who had been travelling for two weeks, we enjoyed the downstairs room with an outside patio to relax and also be able to hang our washing. Breakfast is served across the road in a lovely cafe. We would highly recommend this homestay as we were made to feel so welcome. Nothing, everything was very good.
- Nicolas (9/5): Pleasant stay in a very nice city - Deric was very welcoming and hosted us amazingly ! Nice location in a quieter part of town.
Beautiful house
- Paul (10/5): Exceptional - Really enjoyed the private porch. Total privacy with a nice coach and ceiling fan. The owner was very accommodating and helpful. The breakfast was delicious. Great stay
- Catarina (9/5): Super kind host and great location! - The location is great - in a quiet neighborhood but also close to the main street from where you can reach the main points in Panjim. The host Deric was very helpful, offered breakfast in a cafe just across the road, and helped us with some tips on what to visit and how. Nothing! I think it was a very nice experience and can only recommend it.
- Banu (9/5): Superb - Excellent location, good customer service
- Sudesh (9/5): We came back, with fond memories of this homestay with Deric added to our list of friends. - We were a group of six.Two of us came in the wee hours of the morning.Deric, the owner, was there to receive them.as he was ,when four of us arrived at noon a day prior.
He helped us plan our itinerary, keeping our interests in mind. Our three days in Panjim was well spent. Thanks to Deric.
His home stay is located in a quiet neighbourhood, surrounded by trees. It had a rustic feel, with modern amenities. We lapped up the cool, serene atmosphere in the early mornings, sitting in the comfortable chairs on our balcony. Far from the madding crowd, which was just a stone’s throwaway.
Just across the road is Soul Curry, the restaurant which catered to our taste buds. The delicious breakfast was complimentary. Deric was there to see to everything.
If we needed his suggestions, all we had to do was to give him a call. He would be there to help out.
When we plan our next trip to Goa, all six of us will be back at Deric’s home stay. So will our friends.
Doesn’t that speak volumes about his place? To be honest, nothing.
- Colin (9/5): Great place for exploring Panaji - The terrace was very nice to sit out on (we booked the Double room with terrace). Room was spacious and comfortable although a little basic. Great location for exploring Panaji. The owner was very helpful with lots of information and suggestions and actually included breakfast when it wasn't included on the original booking. He told us about the Festival which was great and arranged transport to Palolem for us. Bathroom is basic although the shower had plenty of hot water and power
- Damini (10/5): Exceptional - Comfortable and cosy, beautiful maintained old Portuguese house in the heart of Panjim. Relaxing stay in comparison to hotels and resorts. Friendly and warm hearted owners of the place. Took great care of us during our stay. Definitely will stay here if we visit again.
- Marie (10/5): Great host, beautiful home stay, excellent location, value for money - Beautiful historic house in a the peaceful Campal area of Panjim. Deric has made this charming property into a comfortable homestay while preserving and enhancing its antique features. The whole place has a feeling of quiet dignity, yet Deric is so welcoming it feels like home. The rooms are spacious and cool and the plants and trees are a delight. The home stay is within easy walking distance of the commercial Centre and there are taxis and a choice of restaurants nearby.
Breakfast is served a few steps away across the road at a restaurant where the food is good and the service prompt and friendly.
Deric is an exceptionally kind and considerate host. He checked every day that I had everything I needed and even gave me a late check out in another room because I had an evening flight.
I sincerely recommend Vivenda Rebelo to any traveler who values quiet, tasteful decor, value for money, and a genuinely kind host. Nothing
- Leyla (10/5): Exceptional - Had the best here here. We loved the space and the massive balcony. Great location and so close to a lovely walk. Deric was so helpful and gave great insights. We also got free breakfast which was such a lovely touch- they were able to cater for my vegan diet as well which was so kind. :) Nothing!
- Kiwid (10/5): A wonderful place to stay! - Deric was the perfect host and the kindest person we encountered in the whole of Goa! Clear and prompt communication with really great suggestions of what to do and where to go. As two female travelers, we felt exceptionally well looked after and very safe. The room was clean, tidy, comfortable and secure. Thank you Deric! 😊 🙏
- Natalie (10/5): Wish all hosts were like Vivenda Rebelo - Deric was a great host. Available to help make site-seeing plans, make suggestions and locate drivers.
