Unfortunately, things are not up to par yet for international tourism
Pros:

Property has very well kept rooms, in artistic style. The owners tried to meet and talk to you and answer all questions.

Cons:

1. When the owners aren't there, you get the impression that nobody cares, and the working staff don't take you very seriously.
2. I was messaged by the hotel that I would get an invoice at checkout, but I did not. Instead the receptionist told me that they aren't responsible. However, booking.com seems also to not be responsible. So no invoices for me, and my accounting is delayed as a result. They seem to be doing "creative" customer service at the minimum to avoid customers from not making problems.
3. The scooter rental is a disaster, the guys are very unprofessional and demanded immidate responses. they charged me an extra half day. For someone who travels regularly in many parts of the world in similar places, this wasn't customer service experience. The locals and area, the places, aren't international friendly and up to par.
Overall, i tried very hard not to write a poor review, but for guests that come from international locations -- You have to be mentally prepared -- dont expect to get what you pay for and don't expect international norms here. This place is unique, and if you can turn a blind eye to many things, have extreme patience, looking for adventure, you;ll manage. But if you are looking for a relaxing vacation, I'm not sure this is the hotel for you, or even this town, and i'd avoid it entirely.

Explored the quieter side of Goa and well The artist Cottage was the cherry on the cake.
Pros:

Has the "artist" touch. Lovely exp, cozy, calm, clean... An absolute offbeat stay. Plus the staff was wonderful. Helped us with everything and were very warm.

I infact was fasting on 1 day and they went out of the way to get me fruits from the market. The shacks and beach are just a 1 min walk. Will definitely visit again.

Cons:

2 imp points.
1. There can be more variety in the breakfast. And it could be more timely. It's supposed to be from 8.30am, but everyday it was delayed.
2. Extremely loud surroundings at night- was unable to sleep till 1.30am. would suggest maybe make the room slightly sound proof.

A home away from home
Pros:

The property is very well curated with lots of great and interesting artworks, specially the woodcuts in the reception area.
Also loved the staff, very amicable.
The dog blacky was an absolute angel.
The property is great for people who want some alone time in goa. The beach is literally a minute away so that is just awesome.
Overall it’s great value for money.

Cons:

The only and only thing that bothered me a little bit is that there is some distant music that can be heard at night disrupting the peace. But then again it’s goa and noise pollution is everywhere.
Just a minor glitch really.

quiet. comforting and beautiful.
Pros:

it was an amazing stay, the property was exactly like it promised, quiet, comfortable cottages with more than adequate amenities, the closest beach was Ashwem , which is like walking distance , the beach is filled with amazing places for sun downers.
the staff was amazing and very helpful, me and my wife are still missing the amazing cheese omelets , the staff helped us in renting a car and also helped us booking a cab for the airport on our way back.

staying there was more than worth it, would definitely do it again.
