Bhakti Kutir

Great setting right in the jungle. You are surrounded by tree frogs, monkeys and wonderful birds. Sounds of the jungle surround you making for a very atmospheric stay. Rooms were rustic but charming. Lemongrass oil and a burner were a lovely addition to keeping the mozzies away, as well as very nice smelling soap in the large bathroom. We stayed 3 weeks in India and this was the only property that had consistent hot water available. The restaurant serves delicious food, especially the kombucha. There are free water refills, as well as yoga and Ayurvedic treatments on offer. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, aware of bus timetables, calling rickshaws and a smooth checkin. The property is 5 mins walk away from the beach.

It was so peaceful and the staff were very friendly and help food. The food was amazing and deliciously healthy. I wanted to have a quite escape and it was perfect for that, Nice and close so some beautiful beaches but further enough away that you can still have the quiet.

Do you want some jungle experience? This is the place to get that. It’s very quiet and there is trees everywhere. The cottage is super pretty and chill with an outside seating area. The staff is soo friendly and funny and helpful. I really felt at home. The food in the restaurant is super delicious with lots of vegan options. Loved doing the yoga there, which they have everyday. Location is amazing.

Exceptional location, lush setting. Super friendly and welcoming staff. Great food. Large, comfortable, super pleasant and nicely equipped cabins. Friendly and open restaurant area. Best of both worlds: the jungle feel + the nearby and gentle Palolem beach.

+ The reception team (Ram) and all the team restaurant and other workers here are really nice. + I felt safe as travelling alone + The place is friendly and original location for a quiet time, including both dorms and double rooms. I initially booked a dorm with booking and extended my stay to a double room afterwards. Mostly stayed in the place, did not go outside + The food is vegan in line with the location spirit and really super good (even if I am not a vegan). Restaurant price is in the average acceptable for quality that is amazingly good, hopefully it does not get higher in the future to keep the willingness to stay here. + yoga classes everyday + lovely people work and leave there too, which makes a particular atmosphere as a village + not to far from the beach through a forest path
