BHAKTI KUTIR

Bhakti Kutir was home for 10 nights during my stay in South Goa. Interesting story, this was my first time not just in Goa but also at a seashore. I wanted to see the ocean and South Goa was my starting point. I happened to book this stay because there was something that pulled me and the reviews too were decent. But I had planned to stay for 3 nights only however I ended up staying there for the rest of my time. Its location is a tiny peri urban village where living became easy and relaxed. Staying at Bhakti itself has been a wonderful experience for the place has beautiful ambience and energy. I could really regulate my nervous system in the abundant natural surrounding. The food at the place is extremely fresh and absolutely delicious. The services provided are efficient and the staff is very kind. If you want to explore deeply south Goa, Bhakti’s location is great. I had my car, and I could easily drive to places and come back to sleep peacefully here. The amazing architecture also made the room naturally cool and during rains the room gets super chilly! I hope to visit soon! The moon festival is calling! 🩵❤️

I’m staying here for the second time. I love this place because of the peace and quietness it offers. Rooms are basic but spacious. One who wants to escape crowds completely, it is a best place to stay. All beaches are nearby. The canteen serves tasty food here.

I just loved the vibe in this property, you ill feel like staying in jungle. Staff is very much co-operative and responsive. The only problem is, you might face the bugs, flies and crickets in the room, we had to change our room as in the night the room was full of bugs and which is quite understandable looking out the location, however on our request they have change our room and then we did not face this issue, overall the place is worth to stay, highly recommended.

Pictures look fancier than what it actually is, that's why I am a bit disappointed. The rooms are not secluded or private, most of them are very visible or right next to each other. Open walls so bright and noisy a at 6.30 am. I stayed in a dorm and the mattress was thin and hard, bunk bed was so weak that it was shaking all night with normal body movements, very dirty from check in, a daily bathroom cleaning would be appreciated but it didn't happen as the same dead bugs and previous guest underwear were there before I arrived and after I left 3 days later. No lock on the door. No light or toilet paper in the toilet. They assigned me the top bed even though there was no one on the bottom bed. Not for light sleepers. Locations is good, walkable to two beaches and surrounded by nature. I think they put a lot of attention to the private rooms and the experience in the dorms is not good enough. Wifi didn't work every morning. It feels like camping but you payed for a room. I arrived during check in times and they made me wait because the guy from reception was having dinner. Good things: there is a Shala you can use on your own or join the classes everyday.

If you are a person who loves nature n all then you will love it BUTTTTT if you care about insects its a BIGGGG NO!!. Literally there are rats, lizards and soooooo many mosquitoes inside and outside the room. Rats ate our package food and i had mosquito bites all over my body so carry mosquito repellent.
