"First of all, I'd like to express my gratitude to the owner of the apartment, Akhnaten, who contacted me well in advance of my arrival in India, provided me with all the necessary information, answered all my questions, and did everything he could to ensure my comfortable stay. He also stayed in touch throughout my stay and helped me with any questions I had. A thousand thanks! As for the apartment itself, it's excellent – ​​clean, bright, comfortable, and cozy. Everything you could need is there. The kitchen is fully equipped – dishes, pans, a stovetop, a microwave, a toaster, and a kettle. There's also a water purifier – a very useful feature. The bedrooms have air conditioners and fans. The bathrooms have water heaters. The internet is good, and there are no outages. By the way, power outages are common in the building itself, but this won't be a problem for you since the apartment has a generator, so even if the entire building goes dark, you won't be affected; all your electrical appliances will continue to work. The apartment also has excellent lighting!! I have a lot to compare it to after numerous travels; often, lighting in apartments or rooms is woefully inadequate. But you won't encounter that problem here – there are tons of bulbs and lighting fixtures everywhere, and everything is adjustable. I really liked it!! The TV is also great – I was able to quickly connect to all the services. The balcony is wonderful, and it was wonderful to have breakfast there in the morning. I could also talk about the apartment complex itself. It's a very huge building with a variety of features available to residents. There's a large swimming pool (there's another one on the roof, but only apartment owners are allowed there), a gym, and tons of other spaces for leisure – you can play table tennis, billiards, read books, play board games, or just hold meetings. The rooftop is especially worth mentioning – it's a separate space where you can simply dine overlooking the bay, barbecue, do yoga, meditate, or basically do whatever you like. I really enjoyed spending time there! The staff at this complex were always incredibly kind to me and helped me with all my questions. So, overall, I highly recommend these apartments. But I can't help but mention one (possibly the only) downside – the insects. Little bugs were constantly trying to get into my food or devices – they're there. I suppose this is common in warm climates, so I took it for granted."

"1) EXPERIENCE - We had booked T4-103 BEM VINDO @ Rio de Goa by tripvillas, but were given T11-802. We checked in around midnight and had no other option than to check in to whatever was given. The one we booked had nice interiors and interesting furniture. The one we got was quite bare and minimal. The caretaker was to check and come back next morning, but he did nothing. Their office also didnt call. Finally when i reached out, i was told that there is some issue with the washrooms of T4-103 and hence an alternative acco was given. The one given had a much lower price when we checked online. This was raised and they agreed to give a discount. However, they were unwilling to meet the price that i could see on the net. We had booked for a Fri to Mon. So we took the quote from Agoda for the next Fri-Mon and asked them to match the rate which they refused. - We went and checked T4-103 and found that there was no issue with the apartment and another guest was staying there. - We paid Rs 4333 per night (including 12% tax) whereas the online rate for Fri - to Mon next week was Rs 3718 (Rs 3320 + 12% tax) per night - Having failed to provide us the acco that we booked, the minimum that we should have been provided was to match the online rates, if not compensation for failing to provide the promised service OVERALL : We were completely taken for a ride - giving a lower facility with a price higher than what was available online 2) ABOUT T4-103 : We did not see this apartment which we booked, because we did not stay there (another guest was staying there) 3) ABOUT T11-802 : What is good : A functional and neat apartment with minimal interiors. Kitchen is fairly well equipped (toaster, kettle, microwave, induction stove, refrigerator, utensils). Living room has sofas and android TV. Dining table with 4 chairs is available. Both bedrooms have a cupboard each. Bathrooms are decent. What is missing : No cleaning, no clearance of waste, No washing machine, no iron ./ironing board, no towel rods / hooks in bathrooms, no mirror outside bathrooms, no facility for drying clothes, no tissue rolls, no refilling of liquid soap. Draping a saree can be a challenge with no full size mirror. 4) ABOUT THE COMPLEX : Apartment in in Tata Rio de Goa Housing complex. Standard apartment amenitites like pool and gym are available 5) ABOUT THE PROVIDER : Do not expect any service from the provider. Be prepared to fend for yourself. The caretaker appeared twice - one to give keys at checkin and then to take it back at checkout. The phone calls were hardly responded to. We asked for some minimal info like local taxi contact which they did not provide. 6) OVERALL IMPRESSION : You may not get what you have booked and may end up paying more than the online price for what you get. The apartment (T11-802) is overall okay, but you are on your own and do not expect to get any information / help from anyone"
