Laughing Buddha and Round-cube are owned by the same person. Laughing Buddha is located about 25 steps away from the Beach. Go to this place if you want to enjoy the calm with your spouse. The caretaker Manju is very helping. There is no kitchen so one has to eat outside but the place is full of nice eateries. Cafe... More

Hi all! I've stayed a week here and the place is just lovely! Don't expect luxiourity in the sense of a 3/4/5 star hotel but that's not what the place is about anyway.... If you want to experience the Goa beachlife, chill out, relax meet good people than this is the place to be! The cabins are basic but nice... More

A group of us had a great stay at Laughing Buddha. The rooms are very basic - fan, bed and shower room but the sheets are clean and the room cleaning service is available daily. They really are just few steps from the beach (through the Blue Cafe). We booked online like several other guests and many of us had... More

We stayed here for 9 days and really liked this place! It has a nice and relaxed atmosphere and the manager Raj was helpful, friendly and looking after his guests. Its a good place to stay with kids as its quiet, clean and very close to the beach. I would stay there again!

We stayed here three nights in total as all other accommodation was booked (we should have booked in advance). This is my first review on tripadvisor and I'm writing it to simply say, stay somewhere else. We had rat poo dropping onto our mozzie net overnight, each night after we cleaned it off in the morning there would be extra... More

We stayed for the New Years eve celebrations and had a great time. The huts are just off the beach and its quieter. The rooms are a little basic for the price but then it was peak season! Raj made sure all was ok. The power dropped out a few times but it added to the fun. Check out the... More

I thought it was a great place. I should note that the huts are not on the beach, but they are very near. It is a mere 20 second walk away and you can hear the ocean from your bedroom. I agree that there are huts with better locations available, but you will have to pay a lot mo It... More

We'd been promised sea view and didnt get anywhere near the sea. We had cottages tucked away at the back. Ours was dirty and we had only one towel. On the bed there was no top sheet but one blanket that didnt cover half of the bed so we were cold at night. Sand from the previous occupants had not... More

Goa: Great place for relaxing, beach, beer, and good food. Laughing Budda is good place to stay, free wifi, western toilets, hot shower, mosquito net, hammock, and excellent staff especially in Raj. No problem recommending this place! PS. Beware of fake silver in the shops, make sure it has the 925-stamp.
