Guest Reviews
- Sharat (1/5): -
- Bilal (1/5): The worst experience in my life - Very Bad Nothing is good at all they should close down
- Mumtaz (5/5): Not advisable to stay at this place until they renovate it completely - Ms. Shipla at reception was very helpful—she arranged late checkout and tried assisting with the AC, though it didn’t work. Brushwood Villa Palolem feels like a property on its last legs. Management should stop bookings and renovate urgently. Termite damage is severe; wooden structures and stairs feel unsafe. Bathrooms have plastic carpet flooring, which is unhygienic. Very disappointing stay.

- Ekaterina (7/5): - Удачное месторасположение между двух замечательных пляжей. Рядом магазины, фрукты, кафе. Место не прям рядом с дорогой, в уединении. В номере деревянное всё, приятная атмосфера. Вода питьевая в доступе. Телевизор не работал. Просила помыть балкон пыльный 3 раза, настойчиво. Не было интернета полдня.

- Vladimir (6/5): - Отзывший персонал разговаривает на английском. Очень грязно.
- RAMESH (4/5): - Breakfast was good. Nearer to the polalem beach and centre Its not like the picture what they have projected in app. Very much disappointed with the 2 day's stay, the bed was uncomfortable, no proper AC and geaser. Taken hot water from the beside rooms. Not worth for the money
- Elton Joao Dias (1/5): - Notting staff dont speak local language when asked to speak in konkani staff mambers act like they do a favor on you by letting you stay in their property Every thing is a mess its a old place bouth buy to make a quick turn around wont recommend at all.

- Yael (4/5): Not recommended at all. Maybe when they will finish the renovation it will be decent but in the meantime- stay away. No - Great location It’s a construction site right now, very loud.
In the price we paid we expected to have a shower but instead there was a bucket and not even with hot water. The breakfast was very minimal and in one of the days they gave us an omelet and that’s it.

- Aparna (4/5): - The room was decent in size, hot water was there and ac was working The property was unclean, lack of hygiene.

We happened to book this hotel judging by its Booking.com pictures - they were probably taken 20 years ago because the place is falling apart.
Rooms: The whole place is held together by staplers. No you read that right. It has staplers on the walls. Throughout. Cobwebs galore. The toilets are not properly fixed, unstable when you use them. Flush was leaking everytime. Atleast I hope it was the flush 🤞🏽 Glass on window broken and the shower was like being under water pins. Water was murky brown.
The beds are 2 single beds joined together that split when you sleep. It was supposed to be the AC deluxe bedroom.
The sheets, the curtains, the bedding were covered in black mould. The cupboard was covered in white mould. The pillow covers smelt like armpits. The towels smelt disgusting. We asked them to change everything, which they complied. But the first claimed it was “clean only”.
The last day of our stay the plumbing broke (was about time!) and we had to freshen up in someone else’s room. That too after waiting and asking them to fix it for over 2 hours.
They tried to charge us for water bottles that came free with the room, especially when their RO water was unsinkable. Brown. Smelly.
Vicky on the staff is amicable and helpful. Rest of them are either gossiping or scrolling on their phone. We saw a male and female staff member coming out of a room together and then hastily blabbering nonsense to cover up the awkwardness, which was extremely weird behaviour for us. The cameras were not working in this area which they’d obviously know about. We had pointed this out when we had first moved into the room.
They take the full payment upfront because they know you won’t want to pay after seeing the rooms!
I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone. It’s a hazard. The owner really needs to pull their socks up because the place is falling apart, both service and property wise!
Only saving grace is it’s kind of near the beach.
- Sudhakar (7/5): Good - location hospitality
- Dogan (3/5): Slimy grimy stay - The layout of the property was nice, we had privacy in our room. The outdoor area was nice and the breakfast was decent. The staff were not friendly or responsive. They tried to overcharge us 500 for the taxi as well.
We were thankful that we only had to stay one night in this room as it felt grimy and musky. We didn’t look forward to using the bathroom at all and actually decided to wait to shower at the next location as it was in such bad condition.
- Jayesh (9/5): Superb - Hospitality was Good Washroom & Mattress arrangement
- Tambi (7/5): The stay is absolutely perfect for all .. bachlor, couple, family, young, old everyone.. - I liked the environment, the staff behaviour was so sweet that they seemed like family 😍 ambience is amazing, it's an very beautiful ❤️ place. Lots of privacy u get.. u can enjoy the nature surrounded to it.. overall it's super cool .. 😎 Washroom need to be repaired as it's spoiling the entire beauty of room and the mood of the person who chooses the stay..
- Rebecca (6/5): Ok but wouldn't come again - We liked the bed and pillows, and a working fan in the room. Quiet during the night. The room was quite spacious with a balcony. We paid for breakfast included and they didn't have breakfast to offer on day one. We eventually got refunded for it but it was quite a hassle as the staff wasn't very friendly or proactive in trying to help. On day two, they promised breakfast and there were Indian options, toast and butter. I would recommend choosing a room with AC as we struggled a lot with the heat in the wooden cottages. Not that we needed it, but there was no hot water in the showers. The distance to the beach was actually 15-20 minutes walking and while the location is close to a few shops and restaurants, for value for money that are many options closer to the beach with air conditioner and just as comfortable.
- David (6/5): Enjoyed - Location, and wild life The bar area was very poor and not well stocked
- Florian (5/5): There are many better places to stay in the area - The location is a little way from the city, so it's very quiet. The photos are misleading as the establishment is very poorly maintained.
Above all, I have the impression that I've been cheated, because when I reread the reviews of the place, I realise that the majority of them are false reviews with a score of 10 in order to raise the overall score.
- Kate (8/5): Great value great location - Great value for money, great location, 10 minute walk to the beach, food was good, we enjoyed our stay A sheet would have been preferred over a blanket.
- Inayath (1/5): Bad - Very dirty. Unattentive. Not the vibe conveyed in the photos.
- Idan (1/5): Dont go there!!! Very disappointed place. Very far from the condition the site declair in booking.co - Nothing Eveything!!!
Facilty in very poor condition
No AC in rooms
Poor fan. Very hot
Not clean
Jym without fan (very hot and umide) and with poor lighting
Shower really bad. Very poor water flow. Shower head rusty.
- Pearson (6/5): So much potential but as it is, it’s NOT worth the price. - I absolutely loved that the staff opened up reception and allowed us to check in very early (at about 04.30) despite the fact that we had forgotten to warn them.
I also liked the location and general appearance of the hotel, very cool and laid back. Great layout. The breakfast was pretty okay too but fresh fruit would definitely have enhanced it. Unfortunately this place is overpriced for the actual state of repair. The owner needs to decide whether to drop the price and sell it as glorified camping or serious renovations need to be done. The electrics for fans and lighting is poor. The bathrooms are disgusting. After seeing my pillows, I didn’t dare check the mattress; they were vile and I’m not a prude!
The gym could be an amazing USP but the fans don’t work and windows don’t open, furthermore, much equipment needs replacing or repairing.
- Karolina (7/5): It’s ok - It’s a good location and rooms are very spacious! I didn’t experience any discomfort from the staff, it was quiet at night and the whole hotel area is nice. The first room they gave me was on the basement level. I didn’t like it because there was water leaking from the ceiling in the bathroom. I asked for a different room and they gave me a better room upstairs (with balcony from courtyard). Breakfast are simple but for me it was ok
- Katie (10/5): Great value stay; clean, comfortable and peaceful. - Wonderful stay here - very clean room with a very comfortable bed, big bathroom! The balcony is lovely also; lots of space.
Great location, quiet and in nature but a short walk to peaceful Patnem beach and lots of good restaurants. The staff are friendly, the breakfast buffet is good value and tasty!
- Alexandra (8/5): Very good - Nice simple and comfortable accommodation in between Palolem and Patnem. Comfy enough bed, hot shower, spacious, and basic amenities for a short stay 😊 Breakfast was included but wasn't worth having in my opinion. Also wasn't a fan of the mouse and cockroach in my room.
- John (7/5): Good -
- Maciej (7/5): Good - Quite clean It's a hotel nor a disco. I don't know why the staff thinks they need to put the music on at 10pm to make you happy. There was literally noone in the restaurant yet they kept playing music. Luckily they stopped it when I told them I wanted to sleep.
