Siolim House

Siolim House is one of the most unique and beautiful places I have stayed. My partner and I visited Goa for a friend's wedding and we stopped here with some friends. The hotel has a very relaxing, calming vibe which was perfect for our trip. It is very clean and well maintained, which makes you feel very comfortable. All of the rooms are massive and unique in design, which made the experience very special. We loved relaxing by the poolside each day or having tea in the food area. The breakfast buffet and lunch/dinner that you could pre-order was always yummy and fresh. There's a library and games room where you can chill-out. They also have a wonderful masseuse you can book for a fully body massage in one of the spa rooms. The staff are so sweet and kind - they really made our experience here special. They were able to recommend local antique shops, arrange days out for us (such as the Spice Plantation) and help us with taxis and the rest of our travels around Goa. I cannot wait to return to this beautiful little hotel! I really cannot recommend it enough to anyone who is looking for a place to stay in Siolim. Thank you so much to Lindsay and your lovely team for making our Siolim House experience so special.

Siolim House is a stunning property that exudes heritage charm, offering spacious and comfortable rooms. We stayed in the front room next to the front desk, which I wouldn’t recommend if you’re looking for a quieter experience. While the beds were incredibly comfortable and the bathroom was huge, the proximity to the front desk meant we could hear a lot of activity, especially when some staff had their phone on speaker. As an old heritage home, the acoustics naturally carry footsteps and voices. It would be great if the staff used earphones while on screen to reduce the noise. That said, the disturbances were never after hours or too early in the morning, and I had some of the best sleeps despite being a light sleeper who’s sensitive to sound.||The other rooms seemed quieter and more private, so I’d recommend exploring those options. The property’s common areas are beautiful, with a lovely open-air atrium featuring bougainvillea and vibrant flowers. The pool area is inviting, with plenty of sun throughout the day, fresh towels, and spacious sun beds.||Breakfast was decent, with fresh fruit, juices, cereals, and bread, complemented by eggs and ham cooked to order. However, the food options could be more flexible. Lunch and dinner require pre-ordering well in advance, which isn’t ideal for holidaymakers with changing plans. When we arrived, we ordered salads from the quick menu, which were underwhelming.||Leslie, the manager, was an absolute highlight of our stay—friendly, engaging, and genuinely interested in getting to know us and ensuring we had a great experience. He offered recommendations and made us feel right at home. While some staff were equally warm and helpful, others seemed less enthusiastic, and the hospitality could use some fine-tuning to elevate the overall experience.||Siolim House has just nine rooms, creating a cozy, family-like atmosphere among the guests. We were fortunate to meet lovely fellow travelers during our stay, and some were even returning visitors, which speaks to the charm of the property.||The location is convenient, with restaurants nearby, and the staff assisted us in renting a scooter, which made exploring the area a breeze. Parking across the street was easy, and we felt well cared for and safe throughout our stay.||Overall, Siolim House is a beautiful and peaceful retreat with much to love. A few tweaks to the hospitality and dining flexibility would make it an even more welcoming and relaxing experience.

What a beautiful haven! Cannot recommend more highly. |So glad we found this charming, calming and inspiring place. The spacious and elegant room was perfect, the communal areas quiet and calm. The local village is full of interesting spots (we loved the tailor at the end of the road), with several staggering period properties to give a sense of old Goa. |Most importantly, the staff anre exceptional - hugely helpful, interesting and great to chat to. Food is delicious - the masala fish in banana leaf is hands-down the best thing we are all holiday.|We’ll definitely be back!!

Such a wonderful place to stay! The team were incredibly kind & warm. They helped make our stay super comfortable. The rooms were gorgeous and the pool area was nestled in a really beautiful & well maintained garden. The breakfast was delicious too!

My sister & I stayed at Siolim House recently I cannot recommend it enough. The service is exceptional - kind, caring and yet so professional & efficient. It’s a beautiful heritage property in a convenient location. Lindsay, the manager, along with his lovely staff take care of you like you are family. The rooms are spacious & comfortable and so full of character as are the common areas that guests can lounge in. There’s a pool fed by well water, delicious food and delightful courtyard dining to add to the ambiance of this wonderful place. I will be back again for sure!

Truly a home away from home for our family. The hotel is a pure boutique experience, which many hotels claim but few deliver. Quaint, charming yet packing everything you need in terms of facilities. The rooms are spacious and vintage. The common areas not too big to get lost in, not so small that you cannot spend the day in the hotel itself and enjoy. The fit outs are remarkable; no matter how many times we have been to this hotel, we always explore and find some new piece of antique somewhere to inquire about. The staff is truly remarkable, always smiling and ready to help, give advice.

Siolim House was home away from home in Goa. A beautiful 350 year old villa restored into a 9-10 room boutique hotel with uniquely designed rooms, a swimming pool and a cozy library. The staff is polite, friendly and helpful.  Breakfast is fresh, and served with care. ||Lindsay, the guest manager is the soul of Siolim House, and one of the warmest persons I have experienced in hospitality. Very knowledgeable about Goa, and he can provide you with amazing recommendations on restaurants, sight seeing and shopping. He is the patriarch of Siolim House under whose care the guests feel valued. ||I would highly recommend staying here, and experiencing the warmth that Siolim House and Lindsay along with Shivali and the other staff provide. |5 stars 🌟 for Siolim House and 1 additonally ✨💫 Lindsay Sir :)

Home from home in Goa! Cannot recommend highly enough. The staff are so kind, the atmosphere so welcoming and the food (breakfasts in particular) so delicious. All amidst a beautifully restored old Goan mansion, with gloriously large rooms. Can’t wait to come back again (and I’m a regular!).
