Riversong Bliss Hostel and Rooms

I recently stayed at South Goa Riversong Bliss and had a mixed experience. The room was clean and comfortable, which was a definite plus. However, the location was quite off the beaten path and far from Palolem Beach, which might be a downside for those looking to enjoy the beach life. There was only one caretaker present during my stay, and unfortunately, he was newly hired and seemed unfamiliar with the property and its operations. When I asked for water, I was informed it was chargeable, which felt a bit surprising. For basic needs like check-in, towels, and water, I had to contact the owner directly, as the caretaker didn't have the authority to assist. Overall, while the accommodation was decent, the service and accessibility could use significant improvement. If you’re seeking a secluded stay, this could work, but be prepared for potential inconveniences.

Good things first: 1. Owner was sweet and helpful 2. Lake view is across the street and not in the hostel (but not a big deal) - it is worth chilling 3. Food is not overpriced Bad things: 1. Staff don't have basic etiquettes 2. Location is not good (as one has to either to off roading to reach the hostel quickly via highway OR drive 5km extra to get to the main road). 3. Washroom door didn't work. You have to use the one available outside the dorm or sing a song (so that no one opens it while you shower or minding your business xd) 4. No mugs in the washroom (they gave us tiffin box instead) I understand this hostel is new but basics should be fixed ASAP. Not that great due to the broken toilet
