I would recommend that they have matts in front of your room door as the accomodation is quite sandy and also coming from the beach, you need something to get rid of the sand. I would also recommend a extra shower towel as the shower makes everything wet in the bathroom. The restaurant was convenient as it was on the premises. I would recommend to venture to the other restaurants if you are looking for something else to eat

Our room was lovely, nice and spacious. The location was a winner, right on the beach. The area is more calm, a lot of fitness people and yogis. Good place to end your trip. The staff were friendly.

Property is divided in 2 parts one along the beach and one on the other side of road. This is not mentioned during the booking

Its quite place for relaxation

The hotel complex consists of several separate buildings, some are in front of the beach and others further away, ask in which one you are going to stay because the one we stayed in was a bit far away and there was a terrible wifi signal.

Near beach, helpful staff, Aniket good receptionist provided assistance during the stay.

The property didn't have an elevator and the room didn't have a refrigerator.

The breakfast was great. The restaurant was in the beach and food was healthy and delicious. The rooms were ventilated and large with a lot of room to move around.

Nalanda is an amazing place to stay in Mandrem, people are really nice and always ready to help. Food is also very nice and there is a certain charm about the place, the atmosphere and it’s location. I would definitely recommend this :)

This is a great place for solo travelers. Everyone is so friendly, so welcoming. The venue is just next to a beach that is almost exclusive for the hotel. The food is amazing, and has a really good price. The room has a captivating unique style, surrounded by the beauty and calmness environment of the mountains. If you go to Goa, please stay here.

Absolutely nothing; everything was perfect as it was. I couldn't think of a single thing that needed improvement, and was thoroughly impressed with everything on offer.

The staff were superb - friendly and knowledgeable about the best places to check out in the area. They basically helped me draft a "Must See" list of local sights, beaches, restaurants, and historical sites to visit. The Chia Lounge onsite was also really cool - great selection of drinks, snacks and right on the beach too! Om, his nephew, and their team have created a vibe and atmosphere that is just a joy to relax in.

This property is exceptionally good, rooms are neat and well maintained and staff people are welcoming and always ready to help. Overall i had a wonderful experience and i will definitely come back soon:)

Stained sheets Poorly maintained rooms with fungus No toiletries No hot water Bad wi fi but ok if you want to detox The accommodations are scattered across the road and even among various apartments where local residents live. Accessing the rooms requires climbing stairs, and there is no elevator, which could be challenging for older guests. The shala experiences leaks during rain, and while the food is decent, it tends to be quite spicy. The beach itself is average, and the restaurant appears to be under construction, with a view of the beach that doesn’t quite compare to what you’d find at Prana.

Not sure if i liked anything

The breakfast was really poor quality. bad ingredients and poor taste. This was included in our stay but we couldnt finish the food. Also the bathroom had cockroaches and cleanliness of sheets can be better I'm so glad they gave us a free upgrade because the initial room was very old and musty.

The staff were really nice to give me a very early checkin and showed me around the rooms in order to choose from a newer building where they gave us a free upgrade. They were also quite free about a late check out which was very helpful.

The pillows were dirty inside the cases as they were coming out of the pillow case. There was big smudges of blood on the walls, the room had a strong chemical smell, the ac was temperamental, we had one towel each for three days, the room wasn’t topped up with water or cleaned, the bedding was suppose to be white but covered in orange stains, the general look of the walls and property was stained and dirty.

The location is right on the beach and there is an open air yoga studio which I enjoyed using each day

I’m delighted to share this review. This place is not just a hotel, it’s a place for people with beautiful soul! Thanks to the hotel owners! They are extraordinarily nice, giving you a feeling being a part of a family! Personal is very friendly and helpful, rooms are very cozy and natural, the food is delicious and healthy which is pretty much rare in most of the hotels that provide buffet breakfasts. Nice pool area, beautiful interior, very relaxing and inspiring environment. Love to stay here

The pool, they could have had better reception facilities, I had to bring my very heavy bag down 5 flights of stairs.. no one could tell me Where the yoga shala was… the pool was filthy! I had the dilute king sweet and it wasn’t very nice to be honest.

The pool that was advertised wasn’t good for swimming for the 4 nights that I stayed. Someone said someone was coming to clean it but no one told me about another pool that I could have been using

The rooms are good value for the money. But at Nalanda Retreat is not about the rooms, balcony and the pool (besides the pool is very clean and nice), it’s about the spirit and people working at this place. We felt very much welcome and if u got any questions, wishes they support you. The cooks are doing a gorgeous job. We ate nearly every dish on the menu card - every single dish was perfectly spiced - Om, the restaurant supervisor, told us, if there is something we like and it’s not on the menu, ask for that! We did and it was awesome, too. The yoga classes, they are running, are quiet good. Costs are about 7€/$, quiet cheap. They good even in there Yoga Shalas different evening meditations (Sound Healing, Osho-Chakra-Breathing-Meditation, just “Pranayama”…) and these “sensations” are included in the room free. I’ve got to go back to the restaurant supervisor Om - very kind. My mother and had talks once in a while - exchanging life concepts, talking about meditation, Indian / European lifestyle, having ginger-lemon-tea, which is for free, and Whiskey together. Don’t get me wrong folks - Om isn’t intrusive - he is just there and if you like to have a nice chat, he takes his time…it was not our most comfortable stay in Goa, but a stay, we talk about for ages - once ein a while, because of the people we met!
