Overall Ratings & Reviews Hilias Retreat

Very nice place a short walk to the beach.

A lovely clean place just one row back from thd beach, literally across a quite road, through the beach bar and onto the beach. Plenty of restaurants nearby. Staffxwere super friendly and our bedding and towels were changed every few days..palolem is a quiet resort with a great safe beach for swimming

Mr.& Mrs Hilias so helpful that make our stay more attractive and remind them for long time

Great stay …good rooms, right across from the beach…. Host arrange a scooter at a great price and explained areas around Palolem we could explore…. Owner has 2 well behaved adorable pugs

Although the rooms are basic they are clean & the WiFi is good . The hosts are wonderful and will help in anyway they can we were given a kettle and hairdryer when requested. We also hired a scooter from them at a very reasonable rate. The beach front can be loud up till about 11pm at times . We personally found it great to be just a minute away and it was more peaceful . Definitely recommend

Friendly

Just fantastic. Thanks Hilias and Rena for hosting us. We will be back Very Best Wishes Lee and Caroline

Great place in an excellent location, literally minutes from the beach & the Coco Cabana shack. The owners are very friendly & accommodating, nothing is too much trouble & they are always smiling. The pugs are so cute too. We won’t hesitate at staying there again.

A lovely little guest house, clean, safe, amazing hosts and the cutest dogs!

Booked a return visit, what more can we say.

I had a lovely stay and this was my first introduction to Goa! The hosts are very friendly, always greeted with a smile, and they will do what they can to make your stay as comfortable as possible. A kettle and coffee was put in my room when asked what I like to drink in the morning, and the fridge was well stocked with cold soft drinks. Lovely peaceful private balcony to sit on. Good shower facilities and comfy big double bed. I had a palm view room. The property is well located. Very central for shops and just a couple of minutes walk to the beach. Thank you for a friendly, happy, relaxing and comfortable stay!

The owners were fantastic, really lovely and welcoming and can help with advice for places to eat and go. Water and soft drinks you can buy from the fridge in your room at good rates make the trip very easy and is one less thing to worry about! Value for money and location is fantastic - it is a basic room but that’s all you need with all of the bars and restaurants on your doorstep

The owners and staff were friendly and responsive to our needs. It is in a great location with easy access to the beach, cafes, shops and other amenities.

Fabulous homestay type guesthouse about 50 metres from wonderful Palolem Beach. Lovely clean rooms with balcony. Lovely friendly family owners who will help you with whatever you need. Great eating places nearby and Dreams of Palolem bungalows opposite has a wonderful friendly beach bar with great friendly staff that surprisingly come from Nepal. Would highly recommend Hilias Retreat.

Very clean, lovely family, close to beach. rooms are quite small, don't pay extra for sea view there isn't one unless you have binoculars. However, I would definitely stay there again.

A lovely hotel with friendly staff that couldn’t do enough to help and make your trip the best! Comfy clean room,,spotless communal areas, great staff that arranged trips, taxis and breakfast. Would definitely recommend :-)
