Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

IndiaThe room was a bit darker and needs more lights. The washrooms would've been a bit more cleaner.
The property is clean and beautifully maintained. Has a good and enclosed parking area, with a handsome GSD to guard the place. The pool side restaurant has a fantastic river view, do not miss early morning bird sights. I would definitely visit with my spouse again.

IndiaThe path to the property is not that great for cars to get in. Also, some construction is happening on the main road, making getting into the property a little challenging. I felt the rooms were a little small and lacked proper ventilation.
Once you enter the gate, the location is bang opposite a mangrove forest and is peaceful. The food is decent and is priced reasonably. The staff and the host are very friendly and helpful.

IndiaThere is nothing much that I didn't like but the food is very delicious The only thing is in the food menu it has less variety. .
The place is very calm and chill. We enjoyed our stay at this property. The place is outside of Panjim city that's why it has less noise.

The open air seating space overlooks the lake. This is the best part of the property. Also the staff was good. Rahul is always available with a big smile.

IndiaThe people staying across our room were playing loud music. And it looked like inter connected rooms (but locked) and we could hear their noises loud and clear even during mid night.
The Lake view was pretty good for relaxing. The staff were also helpful. Breakfast and dinner was also nice.

IndiaReally there is nothing I can complaint about in our long six days of stay.
Mr Leo and Mr Benjamin are really good and friendly. Staff Shankar, Rahul and Vinod and his wife , they are there when you are in need. It is truly a safe place for couples, girls and families. If you want a safe calm place prefer it.There were few single male guests. One guest , nice friendly gentleman was there from France. Call Serene water home, they will advise you as per your requirement.

IndiaDisappointing and Unprofessional Experience I had a confirmed booking for this property through Booking.com, with a screenshot clearly stating the confirmation. On the day of check-in, I received a message from the property at 7:14 AM stating that the booking would only be confirmed if I transferred an advance payment. This was not mentioned anywhere in the confirmation email from Booking.com. Since we were in transit and sleeping at that hour, I didn’t see the message, which came only as a notification on the app or via email. The property had my phone number but didn’t bother to call or send a WhatsApp message to inform me. By 8:54 AM, they canceled the booking without my consent. We arrived at the property, having spent a significant amount of money traveling, only to find out that the booking was canceled. It became clear that the property owner sold the room to someone willing to pay more, disregarding any sense of professionalism or commitment. This experience was incredibly frustrating and ruined our plans. Such untrustworthy behavior for the sake of extra profit is unacceptable. I would strongly advise against booking this property to avoid similar disappointment.

IndiaStaff behaviour Location Rooms and cleanliness. Not safe and secure. its interior and no one can stay peacefully. Noise and unfriendly staffs Manager is a crack and he doesnt know how to speak with customers.
The location is a deep shit and the manager was very rude to us. The rooms are big but total waste.. it is a house with some people and the pics we seen in this website and the original rooms are completely different. Total waste of money. We never feel comfort in this hotel. Please dont waste your money on seeing pics.
