Guest Reviews
- 809shaunr (10/5): Absolutely love this hotel small and chic amazing staff can't do enough for you first time in Goa. Love it here - 5 stars can't do enough Absolutely love this hotel small and chic amazing staff can't do enough for you first time in Goa.

- surimaj (8/5): Nice experience,will book again - Beautiful rooms,very courteous staff,quick response by housekeeping.Tha staff is very friendly available round the clock.Manoj at the reception desk helped us with vehicle discounts and late check-out as well considering our travel back time.
- percy (8/5): - My room person was very professional and assisted me whenever i needed help. The Security person in the parking was great as well
- Travellor05 (4/5): Not worth the money, opt for better options - The pics do not match with the actual rooms. They were not flexible to provide a room for early check with nominal price but were demanding 3k for couple of hours till we got our room. Complimentary breakfast is not buffet and not flexible in providing additional curry or sambar The swimming pool is 2x2 water tube Not worth the money, worst front desk reception
- Cheryl (10/5): - The room was really nice (loved the waterfall shower and huge comfy bed), as was the hotel. Had an issue with the fridge not working, this was replaced immediately. Staff were very welcoming, professional and helpful. Food was delicious and there was a wide variety of things to eat and drink. Had a thoroughly enjoyable and restful stay ☺️
- Mandavisingh (10/5): Excellent stay - Best Hotel in the area to stay and relax. Very nice and courteous staff.Everything was perfect and up to the mark. The service was really good, the staff was friendly and very cooperative.The rooms were really clean. Especially in reception Mr. Manoj very nice person . 😃😃😃😃

- Devkwatra (6/5): Cozy nice stay - Rooms where clean and staff was polite. Restaurant food was also good. If you are looking for a budget stay this is the right place with amp full resources and everything is easy to get. Overall it was nice.
- Viyabloger (10/5): First time first stay in Goa - The room are well equipped and the staff is very polite and respectful. The plunge pool is very beautiful. The hotel location is on the main road next to novotel. We as a couple had a comfortable and a luxurious stay. Enjoyed it!!!!
- wanderingEngin33r (8/5): Good stay, courteous staff - The hotel is nice. The beach is 15 min walk from the hotel. The room had a small window , so it was lacking in light and looked smaller. The room service and reception staff were helpful. The restaurant breakfast was also good ,but a bit expensive if you don't opt for complimentary. The swimming pool is just a small water tank.
- Amittravelss (10/5): Vacation with family - This is my 3rd visit at zense(this time with the family though) and again it has been an amazing experience. Mr Manoj and Mr shetty were really helpful. I would highly recommend zense. Mr Manoj 10/10 . He is your go to person. The place is neat and service is amazing.
- himzitravels12 (6/5): Good Location, ok service - Zense Resort is located in a good location in Candolim and you will get good hotels to have your lunch, dinner etc. near by. Also, the beeches are not that far away. But the hotel rooms are very different from what you see in pics. They were not even 50% of what you see in pics so please select this hotel is you want to save some money on hotel expenses. They will charge you for dental kits, rooms don't have proper lights, there were few spider webs which they forgot to clean. We stayed for 2 nights. Overall, it was ok but I won't go to this hotel again.
- sneha-nath15 (8/5): Visit to Goa - Convenient Stay at Zense - Breakfast was great! The choices of food was good. Comfy beds and cooperative staff. The pool was clean. The location is convenient too, it is very close to Candolim beach. Manager Manoj was very friendly.
- Chana2311 (2/5): Worst, don’t book at all. - We booked this hotel by seeing the photos and rating as 4 star hotel which is totally opposite. It’s not even 2 star, pool is for kids and not maintained at all. Lift can hardly accommodate 3 person. Once you book it will be a nightmare to cancel the hotel. Do not book by seeing the good reviews and photos. Not worth it, totally waste of money.
- sayan2222 (4/5): Good furnish - Very small rooms, and very suffocating smell inside. Restaurants is cheap but Tea was not good Paratha was tasty but cheaper than others Pillows and bedsheet was with fungus. Bike renta was available..
- Leopd36 (8/5): Couple stay - Excellent service and clean room maintained by staff. Food is also good and service person are polite. Near by beaches and markets are easily accessible. Pool service is good and clean. Good place for kids
- Mahi123498 (8/5): Very good affordable hotel - I stayed in this hotel for 3 nights and it was a pleasant stay. It's close to the beach and the at a good location. Definitely will come again as it's a good hotel and is affordable as well. They also help with cabs and all
- Amalseda (10/5): It was really a great staying with zence.. - It was a honeymoon trip nd we loved the stay.. it was comfortable nd staff was good too . All r very cooperative. Nd ambience is awesome.. altimately the stay was quite comfortable nd enjoyable.. must visit .
- NaveenMampi (10/5): Extremely polite & helpful staff❤️ - Pooja , Manoj at Reception are very sweet and will help you with all your needs Ganesh is your man if you want to explore Goa or whatever you need. I would definitely recommend Zense & their kitchen is super yum. Specially Chicken Biryani, Dosa & North indian food
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Great shower. Very comfortable beds. Staff were very quick to respond to any additional requests made and service was always with a smile.
- Janet (6/5): Fair but needs a good clean/repaint and some TLC - Our room had a strong damp smell, with patches of damp evident on the ceiling etc. The bathroom looked nice, but two wall lamps were very dirty. Shower was good, and the was a pull out washing line for guests to use. There was bare wiring on display over the dressing table, and the dressing table mirror was unusable due to large patches of deterioration. We had a ground floor room, with a small terrace outside (not very clean or inviting, but ok to sit if you are a smoker. One day we came back to the room and noticed a piece of metal lying on the ground. We looked around and saw it was a spike which had fallen from the balcony upstairs! Could have been dangerous had we been sitting there when it fell. I reported to reception who did take note and removed it, and other corroded spikes Which may have fallen later, when we returned next day. Also ground floor very noisy with motorbikes/scooters etc starting up outside the door, day and night The swimming pool is on the first floor and was very dirty, with a layer of sand at the bottom and a dirty water mark right around, at water level. There were just 3 sun beds. I wouldn’t use it and wouldn’t recommend others to use it either! The pool table has a huge tear in it, making it unusable - sorry forgot to take photos of these. Breakfast is served in the restaurant attached to the hotel and was good, with a good choice of options.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Okay-okay! - Firstly let me put down the good things about this place which is it's proximity to the beach. Also, we found the rooms to be adequately spaced. They have a South Indian restaurant on the ground floor and must say their food preparation is delicious. Despite all of this, we still felt a bit disappointed and below are the reasons- 1. The bathrooms- It felt stinky all through our stay with the sink blocked (Highly improper drainage system) 2. Cleaning- They don't Voluntarily clean your room which I found pathetic. Cleaning can happen only between 10am to 5pm and that only when you have given them prior intimation. Also, the reception area is in a Secluded corner away from the main passage way and so there are chances that you totally miss out on informing the reception guy about cleaning while you move of the room in the morning and land up in a mess when you return back. 3. The rooms are facing the main road which happens to be busy during the day and noisy in the night with sounds of speedy vehicles disturbing your sleep.
- Tripat (6/5): 2+ Star Hotel, no Way 4 Star. Pool Pathetic! - It’s listed as 4 Star, but I would say more like 2 + Star at most. Manager Nigel Lobo was wonderful Guy and it was clean room with Fridge and Tea/ Coffee facilities . Pool is a bit of a joke as too small. It’s worth probably around half of their asking room rate.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - I booked a junior suite Very nice ,housekeeping faultless despite being near a main road had a great nights sleep lovely terrace with swing very enjoyable Would definitely book again great location But would recommend booking with anyone except EXPEDIA as they missold it to me Nothing to do with Zense at all
- Verified traveler (4/5): - The room and the amenities which I saw while booking wasn't the same which I got. It's feeling like my money is wasted.
- Prateek (8/5): - Room refrigerator was not cooling.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - I booked to be close to the pheonix park it was know were near
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Not worth the price.... Ameneties described on the website were not available there like pool was very small and was told to be under maintenance. You should conpensate us for the same as swimming pool was a major decisive factor in choosing this hotel...
- Vinita (8/5): Value for money stay by the beach - The hotel is a stone's throw away from the beach and is value for money. Don't expect too much, the rooms are basic, yet comfortable. The breakfast included is more than enough - two people could eat it!
- Asante (10/5): Charlotte & Asanté - This hotel made our experience to India! All the staff were so friendly and always smiled and said hello when you walked by. The food and drinks in the restaurant were amazing. We had a lovely driver called Dave who always made us laugh and was great to be around, so thank you to Dave for showing us India, it was truly an amazing experience that I will never forget and I HAVE TO COME BACK!
- Nimo (8/5): Nice hotel and close to beach - It 's ok I enjoy my holiday weather was good hotel locations is in perfect place.
- Marie (4/5): Our stay at Zense - rooms cleaned every time you asked. The room boys were very helpful .Excellent customer care skills from all the room boys that that worked whilst we stayed 202. on arrival 2am reception couldn't be bothered we paid extra to get in our room when we got to our twin room it was not ready work had been done in there with grout from tiles all over the place in bathroom it was dirty dusty I refused to sleep in there the male receptionist was not happy he gave us another room muttering under his breath..201 a double I didn't want to sleep in same bed with my friend who has C.O.P.D. breathing difficulties I told receptionist that. his reply in rude manner that is only room. he got a young boy to carry cases to lift boy was busy playing on phone and was upset that he couldn't carry on with phone. I was not a happy I was tired after travelling and awoke to someone banging on door saying we have to vacate this room as it was booked for another person. had to go back into 202 which was now clean but a lot of grout dried on tiles covering bathroom. was not happy how this problem was dealt with after traveling all through the night before to be put through this bad experience from reception who later informed me was the night reception manager. this person was rude not helpful at all I felt that we were just in the way. I would like an explanation to why and how its appropriate to be treated this way. thank you Marie 13/03/18. 27/03/18 Room 202
- Verified traveler (4/5): - rooms too small - photos on website not a true reflection
- bammbamm (4/5): Too Dark - We pre advised the hotel of our arrival time for 02:30am, which we had emails back saying not a problem. We also asked the hotel if they could help us with transportation due to a taxi strike in GOA and especially candolim. to which we got a sorry!! NO msg back. The room was large but, dark, not enough light, the room card holder that supplies electric to the room hummed very loud which we reported to reception a couple of times over the course of our stay(2wks) and was eventually bypassed. The fridge in the room didn't cool enough for our drinks to be cold for the next day. The restaurant (south) that provided breakfast DOESN'T OPEN till 08:00am not 07;30am as advertised on the back of the room door as we found out on our second day staying at the hotel to our disappointment when we was going out early on a trip. The waiters was a bit abrupt when i asked for 2 eggs on toast and they struggled to understand english very well neither. So we ate breakfast (full english) around the corner every day in a very nice restaurant. The bathroom was large and bright with plenty of hot water. Daily House keeping is only available on request by swing ticket on your door. toilet paper needs to be asked for as well. The pool on the second floor is not bad to cool you down on a hot day, the pool bar as adverse is not used. plenty of sun lounges & chairs. There is also a pool table. There is a safe in the bottom of the wardrobe and not very much cupboard or drawer space.
- Haggishare (8/5): Modern hotel in a good area - The hotel is modern..... only built 2 years ago. We arrived in the early hours and were shown to our rooms. The rooms are modern and nicely decorated. There was a welcome drink for the guests. My husband and I were staying at the front of the hotel and this could very noisy with the beeping of horns and on some nights the barking of dogs. However, this is not the hotels fault. We had 3 rooms altogether as we were a party of four. One of the party complained of a damp smell in his room and also the same smell was in the lift. We did not have any damp smell in our room. A few lessons in being able to clean up after people have been out on the terrace would not go amiss .... the tables by the plunge pool never got a clean in the two weeks we stayed ... I have stayed many times in Goa and staff always ensure the tables, chairs etc are cleaned daily. All in all I would stay at this hotel again, but request a room nearer to the back.
- Naomi (8/5): - Enjoyed the location,
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Lovely
