We recently had the pleasure of staying at The Enchanting Nest in Goa. We needed a place to rest between our flights on the same day, and overall, it was a delightful experience! Vinda, the owner, was incredibly accommodating, helping us arrange taxi services with Sandip, who was friendly, reliable, and very punctual each time. Vinda was also flexible with our check-in times, accommodating both early and late check-in and check-outs. One of the highlights of our stay was Vinda’s warm hospitality—we had very good contact with her via WhatsApp from the point of booking to the day of arrival. Vinda and her husband were lovely and even invited us on a mini trip around town, which was a fantastic way to explore the local culture. During our visit, we also got to experience the vibrant Ganesha celebrations and enjoyed a lovely meet-up at a nearby temple. We had nice walks around the property and loved the peaceful greenery surrounding the house, along with the beautiful, relaxing sounds of nature—birds (including hummingbirds), butterflies, and even monkeys. The spacious room provided a comfortable rest, making our short stay feel relaxing. It was good value for the price, especially considering the cost was much lower than other hotels in the area. Full size fridge, fully equipped kitchen & utensils, laundry drying rack ware available for us. We agreed with Vinda to have local Indian full-board meals included in our stay, as we didn’t want to think too much or wait long for food. The portions were just okay. (Another option is to order food via a mobile app. We used these apps later at a different stay—the portions were much bigger and more filling up.) Its a perfect spot for a stay and rest between flights. Overall, if you’re looking for a cosy, budget-friendly place to stop in Goa, The Enchanting Nest is absolutely worth considering! It Great Value for price!

Had an amazing home stay experience. A heaven for nature and plant lovers. Host Vinda Ji is a nice person. Quite place.

I stayed for 2 Nights and wished it could've been more. I can only add onto what the other reviews already make clear. It really is a special little place. I did not lack for any comfort and the experience was made even better by the exceptional hospitality of the hosts. I had a very relaxing time both on the premises and the surrounding area. But then again, having had more time I'm certain there would've been plenty more to explore. It is a little piece of paradise as far as I'm concerned. And if you need a place to retret and unwind, this is it. Very grateful for my time there and all the assistance and kindness I received 🙏

Vinda the host is very gracious and helpful. She got us train tickets and a daytrip taxi driver. The gardens are lovely. The studio room was nice, quiet. There are cooking facilities with refrigerator. Good hot water, AC. Wifi is reasonably good. The bed mattress not especially comfortable. Overall a pleasant stay. 👍

The cottage is well-equipped and has strong wifi, hot water, A/C, and a fabulous veranda. We were very comfortable during our 1-month stay. The gardens are beautiful and full of birdsong, butterflies, and local wildlife. But the best part of our time there was the hospitality of hosts Vinda and Nitin. We were constantly offered fresh coconuts and breakfast treats, local lunch dishes, and afternoon snacks. They loaned us books about Goa, provided SO much insight and info about what to see and do, and even welcomed us into their home for a chat about travel and life. We enjoyed getting to know the village of Borim and using Vinda's recommended driver, Sandip, to go farther afield, exploring the beaches and historic towns of the area. We fell in love with Goa and with the Enchanting Nest and are already planning a return trip ASAP!
