We rented the entire house, and while the photos looked promising — even advertising a river suitable for fishing — the reality was completely different.
When we arrived, the house was cool and ventilated, but a strong smell of trapped dust came from the furniture. By evening, I had already started itching from the chairs.
We asked for a taxi to take us to a nearby restaurant, and the property sent a driver who didn’t speak English and attempted to take us all the way to Anjuna — an hour away. Luckily, we noticed in time and directed him to the city center ourselves.
We had paid for two nights in advance but left after just one. The smell, the atmosphere, and the overall condition of the place were unbearable. The “river” turned out to be a swamp next to the house.
On top of that, the house is located just three steps from a busy road, making it unsafe to exit the property — especially for children.
There were also serious maintenance and safety issues: faulty and unsafe electricity, a non-functioning toilet pump, missing faucets in the shower and sinks, and no running water at all throughout the night. I felt so unwell from the environment that I ended up vomiting, and there wasn’t even water available to clean up afterward.
Overall, this was a very disappointing and unpleasant stay, and absolutely not suitable for families with children.
