I had a very disappointing experience at this hotel. The rooms were far from what was advertised online and were in dire need of renovation, with issues like old furniture and inadequate cleanliness. While the location was decent and close to the beach, the lack of proper maintenance and cleanliness overshadowed any positives. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless significant improvements are made.

The Byke Old Anchor Resort is situated in a prime location, nestled between the serene Sal river and the Arabian sea. While the views are lovely and the vegetarian dining experience is commendable, my stay was marred by a lack of proper service and cleanliness. Although the food was delicious, the overall upkeep of the property leaves much to be desired, making it hard to justify the price for what was offered.

My stay at the Byke Old Anchor was a mix of highs and lows. On the positive side, its location is phenomenal, right between Cavelossim beach and the river, which offers some beautiful views. The restaurant experience was quite enjoyable as well, with tasty vegetarian food and commendable service. However, the rooms left much to be desired; they were poorly maintained and not very comfortable. I also faced issues with room amenities and cleanliness. Overall, it's a budget option but certainly needs a lot of improvements.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with its lovely beach and beautiful gardens. While the rooms are generally clean, they do show signs of aging and could use some maintenance. The location is peaceful, away from the hustle of North Goa, and the breakfast offered is simple but adequate for the price. Overall, it can be a good choice if you find a fair rate, otherwise, consider other options.

The Byke Old Anchor Beach Resort has a great location, just a short walk from the beach and surrounded by beautiful scenery in South Goa. I had a mixed experience during my stay. On the positive side, the management was accommodating and addressed my needs promptly. However, the rooms were in poor condition, with cleanliness and maintenance being significant issues. This place offers some value for money, but improvements are desperately needed.
