Guest Reviews
- Alin (10/5): Short but pleasant. - Good location close to Fort Aguada and Sinquerim beach, quiet, just at the end of the street in the forest. The owner was very hospitable. Big room and clean, nice terrace.
- Chaitra (10/5): Fabulous place and caretakers and the food was exceptionally good! - Absolutely stunning, quiet and peaceful. Food is great. It’s not high end comfort but great for couples and solo travellers. Loved everything
- Olga (9/5): We were happy - Good Comfortable and cosy
- Madhu (9/5): -
- Kirill (10/5): Один из лучших отелей Северного Гоп - Очень уютный небольшой отель на территории португальской виллы, много предметов интерьера с историей. Очень приветливый персонал и безупречная чистота -
- Ann (10/5): Small nice hotel - Small lovely hotel in a calm area, old colonial style, well maintained. Great staff, you feel like at home. I had dinner every evening at the hotel, the food is delicious. To go on a walk up on the hill with the dogs were one of the highlights, also the massage. Of environmental reasons it had been good if filtered water had been available.
- Aartee (10/5): -
- Sudhabindu (10/5): - The rustic old vibes
- Michael (10/5): - The food was exceptional - truly amazing home cooking served by the most delightful staff. The central courtyard makes it such a friendly and social place and creates a special atmosphere. Our third visit over 26 years. we will definitely be back
- Andrej (10/5): if you haven’t been than you have to experience it - the house, the staff, the amazing food, quiet location in the middle of the woods
- Hélène (10/5): Quiet and nice with the most amazing staff! - The property is just beautiful and in a calm location, which is all the more enjoyable as north Goa might be a bit busy/crowded. Moreover, the staff is absolutely amazing and does not hesitate to go the extra mile to make you happy!
- GUSTAVO (10/5): Oasis colonial - El ambiente en general, era lo que buscaba
- Bertrand (9/5): Une parenthèse hors du temps - Le charme d’une belle maison bien entretenue et décorée avec goût.
Des équipes au petit soin pour nous qui nous ont permis de déguster de délicieux repas dans un jardin fleuri. Un havre de paix hors du temps !
- Samantha (10/5): -
- Gane (10/5): - Fantastic room with comfortable bed. All staff were exceptional and really looked after us during our stay. Food was excellent. Nothing we didn't like
- Andrea (10/5): Ein Traum - Wir haben dieses Hotel sehr geliebt. Es war sehr schön, gepflegt, und der Service rundum ausgezeichnet. Das Frühstück frisch und sehr lecker. Das Abendessen sehr abwechslungsreich, günstig und unglaublich lecker, und alles frisch zubereitet. Es gab Service den ganzen Tag und wir haben einen frischen Saft genossen in der Wärme. Der Strand war gut zu Fuß zu erreichen. Wir haben uns einen Flughafentransfer organisieren lassen. Es hat super geklappt, sehr zuverlässig. Die Kommunikation im voraus sehr angenehm. Vielen Dank für alles!! Super Service in allen Bereichen. Danke an die Küche, den Manager und dem Servicepersonal.
- Ankhi (9/5): - Ashok and Motilal made our stay very memorable! We enjoyed wonderful meals in the garden and the short walk to Sinquerim beach and Lower Aguada fort. A cot for the extra mattress would be helpful.
Our room next to the kitchen was comfortable but didn't receive any sunlight. Still worth it!
- Elisabeth (9/5): Marvellous place! - The location and the ambience is marvellous! The staff is very nice. The food is good - you need to try it! Ask for fresh fish! Small details like the very, very slow WiFi. You can hardly communicate with people. Some people say you should not need WiFi when you are on vacation. We cannot separate work from vacation, thus we need a functioning wifi :-) Since there are so few rooms I also believe it could be good to provide them all with a kettle.
- Marie-pierre (8/5): Très bon séjour - je recommande - Le personnel très sympa
Un bon emplacement
- Gertrude (10/5): Wunderbar - Der Baustil („Indien Romantik“ mit Jugenstilelementen) regt die Fantasie an. Der umgebende Garten ist sehr schön und gepflegt. Besonders angenehm die Terrasse in der Mitte, wo man sich gerne aufhält und wo gegessen wird. Das ergibt eine fast familiäre Atmosphäre. Das beste sind die Menschen: der umsichtige Manager, das sympathische Personal mit dem tollen Koch in der Mitte. Nichts
- Jochen (9/5): Wir kommen gerne wieder und können das Marbella Guest House für Ruhe Suchende sehr empfehlen - Uns hat die ruhige Lage und familiäre Atmosphäre gefallen. Die Unterkunft hat sechs Zimmer und liegt am Ende einer Seitenstraße und damit fern vom Straßenlärm. Man läuft ca 10 Min bis zum Sinquerim Beach, einem Strandabschnitt der nicht so überlaufen ist und wo es dennoch Strandbuden, Liegen und Sonnenschirme gibt.
Weiter hat uns das hervorragende Essen gefallen! Egal ob Frühstück oder Abendessen, alles wurde frisch zubereitet. Wir waren happy, dass wir dadurch die echte indische Küche kennenlernen konnten.
Dazu kommt die familiäre und unaufgeregte Atmosphäre. Der Manager und sein Team harmonieren sehr gut zusammen. Unsere Wünsche und Fragen zu Ausflugszielen und Fortbewegungsmitteln konnten alle erfüllt werden Nichts
- nadine (8/5): - Personnel très sympathique Le petit déjeuné est à revoir
- Pauline (10/5): Wunderschöner Aufenthalt in tollem Guesthouse - Ein wunderschönes sehr gepflegtes Haus der portugiesischen Kolonialzeit: sehr schöne und saubere Zimmer, sehr nettes Personal und das Frühstück ist fantastisch. Es ist genauso, wie man es bei Booking auf den Bildern sieht. Sajjan, der Leiter des Guesthouses war sehr nett und hat uns einen Roller (internationalen Führerschein nicht vergessen und sich drauf einstellen, dass der Verkehr in Indien seehr chaotisch ist) organisiert und außerdem noch einen privaten Fahrer für 2 weitere Tagesausflüge. Wir waren in der Monsunzeit da, auch dann ist es wunderschön. Das Haus ist am Ende einer kleinen Straße gelegen, dadurch ist es sehr ruhig. Absolute Empfehlung! Es war alles wirklich prima!
- Sanad (10/5): - Amazing stay! The staff were so helpful and welcoming, the food was delicious and personalized, and the location is perfect near all major attractions. Truly felt like home! NA
- Thyra (10/5): Fantastisch en rustig gelegen hotel in een prachtige omgeving❤️ - Alles was Top!
Locatie fantastisch, kamers prachtig. Romantische en warme Portugese uitstraling... een aanrader op alle fronten.
We hebben heerlijk gegeten en het personeel was zo vriendelijk, gastvrij en niets was teveel.
Omdat het rustig was kregen we een upgrade.😍
Genoten van begin tot eind.
Dit hotel is een aanrader!! Geen minpunten, alleen positief
- Aditya (10/5): - Everything was truly exceptional. The staff is extremely friendly and always helpful. The property is incredibly beautiful and comfortable and the food is amazing. Everything about this place was perfect.
- Guest (9/5): Beautiful retreat place but keep in mind the wifi does not work well - The food and cook was very sweet and cooked as a delicious home cooked meal and chai. The staff was the ebst part about the stay and the ambience. There was no hot water and the hot tub looked so good but couldn't use it as hot water did not come. The wifi was very weak so if you plan to work keep that in mind.
- Ankana (8/5): -
- Bhavinn (10/5): Exceptional - Sajjan, doing a great job at customer service!! NA
- Thilo (10/5): - Exceptional! A retreat to indulge yourself into a calm, homely atmosphere with class and style. Every room is fuenished adequately to the sense of this historic villa. Surrounded by nature with peacocks in the backyard, old mango & jackfruit trees, the charming & cordial team of Sajjan, Moti, Ashuk & Nundu will do their best to treat you just like being home without being home. I trjly loved my stay of ten days there & give it 5*s! If you are looking for a quiet, charming place with a style that is one of a kind & not looking for something super fancy, but still with all the amenities one needs, then this is your place.
- Nehal (10/5): Explendid - The property is extremely well maintained. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I have no negative points and would recommend this to absolutely everyone. There is nothing to not like about the property.
- Gaynor (10/5): A pretty and unique gem - This is an adorable, unique gem of a guest house. It has a pretty courtyard where you can have a drink and eat. Food is freshly cooked, and delicious. Staff were very friendly and attentive.
We chose to come to Goa in May, which is getting close to monsoon and very hot - possibly not the best time to visit. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our 3 nights at Marbella Guest House. We walked to Sinquerim Beach on day 1, and walked round to Sinquerim Jetty on day 2 to catch a dolphin boat tour. Nothing I disliked.
- Kumar (10/5): Exceptional -
- Epanomitis (8/5): We had a really comfortable stay in Marbella House. The staff were lovely and the decor and furnishings made the stay ev - The decor and location Nothing
- Somnath (8/5): Very good -
- Niyati (10/5): Cozy beautiful stay. Will recommend to others as well. - Absolutely amazing location and beautiful property.
Old goa house decor.
Staff was really helpful and served good food. Just need more food options but thats okay we can order food from outside.
- Piruthvi (9/5): Superb - Dogs !!!
- Shapath (10/5): Exceptional - Truely Antique Vibes | Super clean rooms | Superb Hospitality | Very enriching and peaceful location | 10min walk from the beach | Sajjan - the manager ,needs a special mention.
- Kessop (10/5): Exceptional -
- Joanne (10/5): A charming and peaceful retreat - Location - perfectly situated at the end of a residential road close to the beach and shops and the fort.
Accommodation - tastefully decorated and everything you would need. We stayed in the garden room which is one of the smaller rooms and in hindsight we were pleased with this room
as it was plenty spacious, but a bit cozier and very comfortable.
Food - plenty of choice in the included breakfast offer, all freshly prepared with quality ingredients. We ate dinner there most lights too and there is plenty of choice and all the dishes were very well prepared from scratch and really tasty. We loved the xacuti and also had tiger prawns and pomfret one of the nights too which was delicious!!
Staff - Sajjid has a great team working for him and they are all excellent in their roles front and back of house. Particular mention to Motthi and Pasquale who were just fab.
Cleanliness and comfort - exceptionally clean and everything working as it should. We had a problem with our AC one of the nights and were given the option to move to another room
to sleep with the promise of the AC being fixed the following day. Which it was.
Safety and security - there is a safe in the rooms. Being located at the end of the residential road also made it feel safer and there is a security guard on duty overnight. And of course there are the resident dogs to add to the security detail, special mention to Sophie dog and Judy dog. We felt very safe and secure.
Overall we were so pleased we chose to stay at the Marbella guest house and would thoroughly recommend it to those seeking peace and tranquility in a charming setting with a team of friendly staff that genuinely care about ensuring you enjoy your stay.
- Victoria (9/5): Superb - Fantastic place, lovely staff
- Tanvi (10/5): Fabulous - The location was perfect. A short walk from the beach and a from restaurants. It was surrounded by lush green. The staff was lovely and genuinely cared for the guest. I liked everything
- Mariyam (9/5): Superb - Very rustic and warm. Lot of friendly dogs. Nice plants around
- Markus (10/5): We had a verly pleasant stay - A truly tranquil stay. Sejjan and his staff made our time very worthwhile.
He organized everything we asked for and gave us precious tips on what to do and how to.
The rooms in this beautiful house are spacious and very comfortable.
The food served was always freshly prepared and super tasty. The terrace where the food is served is nicely surrounded by greenery with a huge Jackfruit tree in the center.
The location is a bit off the beaten path but that’s exactly what we were looking for. A 10 minute walk to the clean beach with watersports and plenty of shacks that offer sunbeds was very much acceptable.
Thank you Marbella team for making our stay a memorable one.
- David (10/5): Restful in a exquisite location? 👌 - The location was perfect to explore further or just to enjoy the garden and walk to the local beach. The rooms where wonderfully decorated and spacious. The staff were amazingly helpful, friendly and the chef made to order food was the best! Thank you to Sajjan, the manager and everyone for making our stay so enjoyable.
- Tanvi (10/5): Missing it already! - The property in itself is amazing. It has such a calm and relaxing vibe. It's tastefully decorated. There is so much greenery and nature, such a variety of plants that have been preserved and looked after. The flora fauna is amazing. There were so many different types of birds. My mother spotted a peacock. I can go on and on. The different types of rooms offer variety. The location is great, it's a 10 mins walk to the beach. It's safe and tucked away from the noise. The staff is great. Sajjan, Ashokji and Motiji who cooked for us and looked after us are great. We spent so much time talking to Ashokji , it really felt nice like family. I obviously can't forget our furry friends Sophie, daisy, chameli and many more.I can't wait to be back. Nothing that I didn't like. I found the bed too soft but that's just a personal preference. I had a great night of sleep.
- Sujatha (10/5): Quiet and pampered - It’s a quaint and well maintained property with cordial staff There isn’t nothing to like about it
- Elizabeth (10/5): This place is amazing! - We loved our stay at Marbella Guest House. The place is beautiful, even better than in the pictures.
The staff was always available to help, and very friendly. The included breakfast options were great and good portions. Our last day they prepared a breakfast to go because we had an early flight, this was greatly appreciated.
The service and a la carte food at the restaurant was amazing too. They serve Indian and Goan, but there were some continental options.
The thing we loved most, were the friendly dogs that roam around and the charity they work with.
The Guest Gouse is just outside of Candolim, which makes it a very pleasant and quiet place to stay. You're still about 5 minutes by car or scooter from all the restaurants and shops in Candolim, so you get the best of both worlds.
In short: this place is amazing. Do yourself a favor and book it!
- Charvi (8/5): Amazing staff, comfortable room, heritage cozy property, 10 mins walk from the beach, freshest food! -
- Julie (10/5): Exceptional -
- satinder (2/5): - My reservation was cancelled by hotel, and still waiting for refund from you. Terrible experience using your services for hotel booking.
- Monika (10/5): Exceptionally charming place with a great team - Beautiful old villa with tastefully decorated rooms. Our room had a shared veranda where I could lounge with a book, looking out on the jungle, listening to and observing birds (better prepared fellow travellers had binoculars, which would be a good idea). There is a shady, lush garden which also serves as the restaurant. The villa has a really good cook and they offer very reasonably priced, excellent meals. We arrived late, and although the kitchen was closed for orders, the cook whipped up a wonderful masala omelette so we didn’t go hungry to bed. The staff is exceptional, and Sajjan, who runs it all, will organize everything from sightseeing tours to airport transfers. The high standard also applies to cleanliness - the bathroom is spotless and you get huge fluffy towels. The beach is just a short walk away. The high standard of cleanliness involves properly airing the rooms (very rare in hotels), which can occasionally result in a curious frog straying into the bathroom as the property is literally on the edge of the jungle - it happened to us, but staff removed it instantly, so we saw more the humorous side of it. I asked the other guests if they had a similar experience, but nobody else did. The wifi is not too reliable, as some people already noted here, but would you really want to spend your day doomscrolling when staying in such a perfect place?
- Aniket (10/5): Quaint and beautiful stay near afort Aguada - The property is beautiful and as mentioned in the picture. The location is quiet and quaint and the staff are cooperative and very helpful.The rooms are spacious and have a beautiful common area for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It's a 5 star stay at a 3 stat rate for sure. Everything was top notch.
- Ave (10/5): Highly recommended for a romantic stay in Goa - Very cozy and romantic guest house with exceptional service and warmhearted staff, delicious homemade food and peaceful facilities with a beautiful architecture. Massage recommended! Location is walking distance from the beach. Everything was great!
- Daniel (10/5): I loved staying there - The design of the hotel is superb, but my favourite was the exceptional restaurant on site.
Amazing garden with a nice walk to the beach, but also a great starting point for short trips around. The villa's original design means that there is some noise from the neighbouring room.
- David (10/5): Superb place to stay - Spotlessly clean, relaxed hotel with lovely rooms and attentive friendly staff. Far enough from the bustle of the main street to be peaceful but near enough for an easy walk to the town and the beach. Breakfast and evening food was delcious. Wifi was a bit slow and patchy, but who needs to be on line when you are in a lovely place like this.
- Jobanputra (10/5): recommend this place, very close to the beach, bars and restaurants - Beautiful Portuguese mansion, clean and well kept - the home made food was delicious
- Monica (10/5): a lush, relaxing oasis with kind staff - Marbella is a beautiful haven. A week here can heal you and leave you coming back for more. My partner was also sick when we first got there, but recovered well with the staff cooking up congee and always making accommodations for meals. The space is well taken care of, drama-free and an oasis for couples. Towards the end of our stay, the bathroom started to develop a bad smell, although we had it cleaned several times. This was reported to the manager and they mentioned it would be fixed, I'm sure they've taken a look.
- Bharat (9/5): Superb -
- Christina (10/5): Exceptional - A charming hotel with wonderful staff. You could really feel that they cared a lot about their guests. The restaurant was also very good, we had most dinners in the hotel's garden. A green, relaxing and quiet place. There were several dogs right outside the bedroom window that woke us up at night and very early in the morning. Can be a problem if you are a light sleeper.
- Thomas (10/5): A wonderful stay in Goa - The property was stunning. A beautiful environment and a perfect backdrop to our stay in Goa. The staff could not have been more helpful and kind. They really made our trip special.
- Javier (10/5): Exceptional - Hotel Review: A Perfect Stay with Outstanding Service
We recently had the pleasure of staying at Marbella House and I can confidently say it was one of the best experiences during our time in Goa. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome.
Check in was great and Sajin made us instantly feel at ease. Our room was gorgeous, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The housekeeping team ensured everything was perfect throughout our visit.
What truly set this hotel apart was the exceptional service. Every staff member we encountered was friendly, professional, and eager to assist. They introduced themselves by name and remembered our names and likes/dislikes.
The restaurant served delicious meals with impeccable presentation, and the staff was always ready to offer great recommendations. We had a memorable Christmas lunch, discussing what we’d like the day before and then enjoying the wonderful meal.
Warm shout outs to the wonderful Ashok, Mutti, Nando, Karan and Sinita - and of course Sajin - thank you all so much for a brilliant stay.
Needless to add, this hotel comes highly recommended by us.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
- Max (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful grand rooms in a wonderful guest house. Fantastic service and really delicious food at the property. Nothing
- Rich (9/5): Lovely Portuguese Goan traditional home experience vs a commercial hotel - Very charming home stay. Beautiful colonial suite accommodations and back terrace. All good
- Priyanka (10/5): Highly recommended! - Great location, beautiful guest house with tastefully done rooms and suites. The staff is efficient and helpful. Mr. Sajjan, the manager, takes good care of his guests. The guesthouse kitchen is run efficiently by the excellent cooks, especially Mr. Ashok. They provide freshly prepared, delicious meals. As a matter of fact, meal services are one of the best things about Marbella. We are grateful to Nandu, Moti and other members of the staff for making our stay comfortable. We will surely come back to this beautiful and comfortable guesthouse.
- Kate (10/5): A jewel of a property with an outstanding team to make for an amazing holiday experience - Everything. Beautiful property, perfect location. Sajjan and team went out of their way to make our stay special. Felt like part of the family by the time we left! All the meals were cooked to perfection, authentic and delicious. Breakfast was superb with a good mix of local and international foods. Great advice and support in general. We were impressed how the team worked seamlessly to create a wonderful customer experience and a memorable stay. Highly recommend this wonderful property and team. We are well travelled and have stayed in high end properties however our stay here stands out as one of the best experiences. We would love to return one day. Nothing
- Alexander (8/5): A lovely Goa experience. - Breakfast was very good. Quality of food was excellent and the staff made it feel like home. A special mention to Motty and the chef. Sajjan who overseas the house was incredibly helpful and went out of his way to make us comfortable and at home. The home has a lovely old school Portuguese feel and the dogs looked after us :)
- Matthew (10/5): Lovely, calm and peaceful place to stay. - All the staff were amazing, kind and very attentive! Food the guest house offered was cooked fresh and very tasty. Beautiful surroundings and garden at Marbella.
- Dabbara (10/5): It is an amazing place to stay and though complimentary breakfast options are limited, they are tasty. Staff is attentiv - Very aesthetic and clean. Could’ve provided pamphlets/ itinerary of places to visit or see. It would help guests
- Aliasghar (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sharath (8/5): Very good -
- Ally (10/5): Amazing stay away from the hustle of north Goa - Stunning room with sleek and beautiful decor, and an extremely comfortable bed. The hotel setting is perfect, a green and flower filled courtyard to eat meals, friendly dogs to keep you company whilst having a beer, and the staff were attentive, welcoming, and friendly. 5*s
- Prinesh (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ashwin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Duncan (10/5): Australian Couple 2 night stay - Beautiful food, staff incredibly attentive and helpful, wonderful spacious rooms
- Shwetha (10/5): Exceptional - It's a beautiful property and Sajjan and team are very warm and welcoming. The rooms were clean and the food was very good!
- Utkarsh (9/5): Brilliant! Would definitely visit again! - Staff is amazing! Very friendly and helpful.
The property is very beautiful, the verandah, the rooms, the foyer. Absolutely love the bed.. has a very romantic feeling.
Also the breakfast and the entire food is super delicious. Even the area is quite nice if you are looking for a peaceful area.
Overall strongly recommend this property Had some issues with the shower which was a bit of a bummer, but the staff tried as much as they could to fix it. They have also told they'll get it fixed by a plumber once we checkout
- Mariana (9/5): Superb -
- Tian (8/5): A perfect Goan escape - The place is living history and it's incredible how well-kept the premises are despite its challenging location. The staff was also very forthcoming (shoutout to Mothi and Sajjan), and the meals were always excellent. Rooms definitely show their age, and there was a bit of an odor coming from the restroom. Location is rather out of the way - that makes it ideal to get away from the bustle of the main road, but slightly inconvenient if access to main sights and sounds is the key concern.
- Tsvetin (9/5): Exceptional stay with beautiful rooms and a calm quiet atmosphere, two nights was simply not enough - The rooms, the garden, the service and staff were all exceptional. The look and feel of the room was quiet, calm, beautiful and spacious. The staff were always on hand to provide us with whatever we required whether it be food (both western and Indian) drinks or drivers to take us to activities. The property also has several friendly and adorable dogs. I particularly enjoying having breakfast in the rooms private garden surrounded by plants. The lighting in the room although excellently atmospheric was a touch dark when it came time to pack. The bathtub in our room was big enough to fit two and had a pretty design. The only issue was the hot water ran out before the tub could fill up.
- Saju (9/5): Superb - Accommodating and polite staff. Mr Sajjan was very helpful.
The kitchen staff also accommodated our requests for early breakfast.
Sinquerim beach is just 950 m away and its a clean beach with lower Aguada fort as an excellent sunset point
- Robert (10/5): Incredible experience and beautiful staff. - What an incredible oasis of tranquility! We were looking for some time to relax and find peace and this place definitely provided it. The staff was incredible and so lovely and caring, we really felt that we have built a connection with them. In fact we had dinner at the hotel most nights as we wanted to be in their company. A must try is their Masala Chai on the veranda in the evening: they make you feel at home.
10/10 for this one.
- Louella (9/5): Intoxicating Sounds of silence - If you're looking for a peaceful getaway, this is it. The guest house embodies the charm of Goa. The greenery around and the silence is mesmerising, almost intoxicating for someone from the city of Mumbai.
The coziness of the room we stayed in The Mughal suite and the warmth of the staff was the highlight of the stay.
The food was simple and delicious.
Not too far away from the hustle of Candolim (a 15 min walk) makes this place a good option for those looking for a good mix of some buzz and moments of peace.
I will definitely visit again. Thank you Sajjan, Paulos and to all the staff for making it a memorable holiday. The wi-fi was flaky.
Pets entering the kitchen area.
Would be nice to have more traditional Goan cuisine options.
- Claudia (9/5): Unique stay in a historic building. - Gorgeous enormous suite. Felt more like having a luxury apartment than a room. The patio was comfortable and being able to eat from a menu either to my room or downstairs was really convenient. It would have been nice to have AC in all the spaces, rather than just the bedroom, as the living room got very hot.
- Raghavender (7/5): Good - There are a few dogs in the property, there was no mention of them at the time of booking. They could give those dogs a shower one in a while. Poor things, carry a heavy stench.
- Nick (8/5): Had a very pleasant stay. -
- Trupti (8/5): Friendly staff, good home cooked meals and nice pet company - Well maintained property tucked in a corner and very close to Taj All good
- Pratigya (8/5): - Great place
- Anindita (9/5): Great stay close to Candolim - I stayed at Marbella House for the second time. Their staff is very courteous and cooperative. They will go out of their way to make your stay comfortable - be it checkin/ checkout, food or sightseeing recommendations. Needless to say the property is beautiful and well maintained and is in close proximity to major attractions in north Goa. Nothing
- Preeti (8/5): Pleasant and comfortable - Location and staff Menu and room decor can be better
- Manjari (8/5): Memorable! - Staff behaviour and the ambience. Breakfast could have been better.
- Esha (9/5): Value for your money and time! - The property is complete value for money! The location, food, staff and the rooms are all excellent. There is a beautiful cliff near the property. People who love dogs will love this property as they have a wonderful group of indies that they take care of. We were overall appreciative of our experience and will visit again.
- Paulraj (10/5): Exceptional - Nice staff and place....verything was good
- Umang (10/5): Wonderful experience - Lovely property and great service. Sajjan and the entire team were magnificent and always ready to help.
- Karaanjkar (10/5): Amazing! - A wonderful quaint property at the end of the town. Away from all the hustle bustle nestled in between a mini forest right below the fort. Just so perfect to have a cool quiet time. I was here for a work from home setup and it worked great for me. Just what i wanted. The staff was super friendly and kind. Accommodated to all my needs. Sajjan the manager is such a great guy, spent plenty time chit chatting with him during my free time. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a clean, rustic looking dog friendly place. NA
- Gaikwad (10/5): Best Place To Stay At Candolim, North goa - The staff is very cooperative and humble, the location is exceptional with lot of trees around it feels serene one can stay for a an entire week, special thanks to Manager Sajjan, looking forward to visit this beautiful place in coming months 😊
- Elif (10/5): Exceptional - It was an exceptional experience. The property is beautiful itself and well maintained, clean. It's in a commercial part of Goa but in a very calm and peaceful part of it, you don't feel like you're in a busy place at all. The staff was amazing, we got an upset stomach 1 day due to outside food and they cooked us ganji which immediately helped us to recover. They all are so nice and helpful in terms of anything actually. Food was also very delish. Overall the best place I stayed in India I can say.
- Coldsideofthepillow (8/5): Nice atmosphere and location for our short stay - Interesting building, pleasant rooms with AC in the bedroom, breakfast was great. The location was great for the very short walk to Sinquerim beach, Kandolim a short walk. Good places to eat nearby. Communication, WhatsApp without permission from multiple numbers, demands for bank transfer not advertised at the time of booking, overcharge for airport transfer were the only annoyances.
- Indre (10/5): Weekend getaway - I had an amazing weekend in Goa thanks to Marbella Guest House team - the accommodation is beautiful and well looked after. I can tell that the whole team at the guest house truly care about taking care of the property and guests. Nothing was too much trouble - from the moment I arrived I felt like home. My standard room was spotless, beautifully designed, clean and quiet. The team gave me tips for sightseeing and eating out and even offered to drop me off at a nearby beach although it’s a pleasant 10 minute walk away. They also arranged a massage appointment for me and the therapist was very professional. It felt wonderful to have a massage at the guest house after a full day of sightseeing in old Goa, which was also recommended by the team. Food was delicious and the menu had a lot of options. Truly wonderful stay. Hope to be back soon.
