What a great find, this friendly, value for money hotel was exactly what we needed after touring around India. It was recommended by a friend, I am always wary about recommendations, but this turned out better than expectation. From first arriving, Sumit, the owner, welcomed us like friends, not usual guests, he was interested in us, our journey, and offered... More

The Banyan Soul is a charming place to relax in Goa. I enjoyed quiet, romantic evenings there or traveled down a short distance if I wanted to party or go to the beach. There is a beautiful look out point next to the hotel where one can enjoy an amazing birds eye view of the surroundings. Also, the hotel has... More

Stayed here for one night. i thought that the room was great, but that was it. Not in the best location, we were not even greeted by a staff member when we arrived, i know it was off season but still. Down a long and dark track, you need a torch to get back as the roads are not lit... More

A great oasis to stay in Anjuna and relax in a quiet place. We loved the banyan tree. This was the first stop on our rtw trip. The staff is very friendly and helpfull. Sumit, the friendly owner, can help you with any question. Laundry, money exchange, restaurants and motorbike rent are just down the road. More

Its adjacent to German Bakery,Anjuna and hence there's a bevy of things happening around and music does seep in till late hours which could be an issue for those who hit the sac early. It close to becah and Flea market which I... More

Banyan Soul is away from the hustle and bustle of Anjuna but easily accessible by the cheap and readily available moped rentals. The beach and good eating places are walkable. More like serviced apartments, the block of rooms has a lovely shady area under a huge banyan tree with a little library to chill out and a small garden area.... More

The Banyan soul proved to be everything that was promised and more! The location of this place is so peaceful and the proximity to german bakery is a bonus! Its a quaint little place and feels like home.. the rooms are basic but to categorize this place under a basic hotel is a crime.. All rooms are done up in... More

Such a great find! This little hotel is basic but very charming. It's laid-back and serene, away from the main road. The rooms are modern, well-kept and comfy, with clean bathrooms and fresh towels every day. I loved the private sit-outs overlooking the lawn, and the large sliding doors which made the room feel bright and airy. There's a small... More
