4th trip to Goa so no surprises. First impression of this hotel awful - filthy room, broken furniture and fittings. Very unpleasant. Moved room next morning and big improvement; complimentary voucher for each of us was welcome and we decided not to change hotels but to give... more

Second stay at this hotel in 5 years only because it is in the heart of the town and reasonably priced as part of a package. Staff very friendly and helpful, hotel clean but very basic with fixtures and fitting sorely in need of updating. The hotel does have a lift but only... more

Second visit to this hotel in less than a year, first time came with Thomson in January. It’s a beautiful hotel, very basic but spotlessly clean, staff are great and forever smiling. Pool is very cold though as there’s no sun shining onto it although it does get very... more

I have stayed at Hotel Horizon Beach several times now. Anyone that has been to Goa will understand that all the hotels are basic properties but that is all over Goa. The hotel is very clean the staff are friendly. Goa is a place where everyone remembers you and this hotel... more

We had a wonderful holiday, the hotel was very good. The staff were outstanding, very very friendly and would do anything they could to help and make your stay a holiday you will not forget. At first it's a very big culture shock. I didn’t unpack for 3 day's but after... more

Hotel was very clean and service was excellent. You could see you face on the floor, it was very highly polish. We got fresh towels and our room cleaned everyday. The pool was a nice size but didn’t get any sun, so was very quiet. Goa beaches are lovely, but you tend to... more

Be Careful
Have just come back from Horizon Hotel. Excellent time, and agree the staff, everyone from baggage men to waiters were the nicest people. Two things to be aware of though. Beds are as hard as rock, but you do get used to it. Also, we bought a safe deposit box in the hotel, which is housed in a room off the lobby. On one occasion we left some rupees under a camera and locked it. When we went back next day we could not find the rupees, but we just thought we had spent/put money elsewhere. On the day before going, I left my purse with sterling in the safe, and I know it was there because two of us went through the money. The next day the sterling had gone. I think someone is going along the lines of if they take all the money they will be rumbled, but take bits and you just think you have been forgetful. We did raise it with Manager, who said it was the first time it had ever happened. Personally, I can't see any of the staff doing this, so just watch out and keep a track of your money.
Extremely friendly & helpful staff!! Great hotel
We stayed at the Horizon hotel in the 1st week in November during Diwali. We booked at the last minute through lastminute with the spice route as our tour rep. The hotel has been recently renovated, all very clean and tidy. We can not fault hotel staff for their friendly nature, warm welcome and effeciency at dealing with any problems or questions we had. Hotel is basic but caters for everything we required. Clean swimming pool, rooms cleaned daily and new towels brought. Food needs to be worked on a liitle. Not a lot of variety at Breakfast and the mini bar in the rooms although very cheap is rather confusing!We were brought a box of 12 Kingfisher beers one day! Hotel is only 10-15 minutes walk from beach, just off main road of calangute, actually quite quiet considering location. Good nightly pool entertainment. In all we had an excellent holiday, and definately recommend this friendly hotel to anyone visitng calangute!
The most friendly staff ever...
I have stayed at the Horizon hotel six times now and many have my friends have gone back to this hotel year after year. The rooms are basic as are all in Goa but very very clean. The pool area is spotless. But more important the staff are very very friendly - for those that say different try talking to them as a human instead of a waiter or a room boy they are very very helpfull and very amusing. from the room boys to the receptionist to the bar and waiting staff you cannot fault any of them. Give this hotel a try you wont regret it. If you someone who is reading this that has not been to india before North Goa is more traditional dont expect 5 star hotels they are all of similar standard. You need to stay in a Marriot hotel in south goa if thats what your looking for. If you want basic clean accomodation set in traditional surroundings then North Goa is the place. Have a fantastic time..........................
best holiday ever
was totally surprised when arrived at horizon because of the friendliness of all the staff especially the sexy evening receptionist. they all went out of there way to make us feel welcome. we didnt have any problems during our two week stay. will definately be going back again.
Best Holiday ever
Iv been going to Goa now for the past Ten years and i have never stayed in such a friendly Hotel, the Staff were Fantastic to me and my Girlfriend, the food was Excellent the rooms were clean and tidy the Pool was kept in good condition in fact i haven't got a bad word to say about it.
loved it
have just returned from the horizon a week ago, fab hotel the staff are great all you have to do is ask. definatly booking for a return trip.
Definately a go'er
Have just returned from Horizon in Calangute which I would rate as a very good basic 3*hotel. The staff could not do enough for you and the rooms were large and clean with linen & towels changed daily. Although not on the beach, which is a short walk away you gain from being in the centre of Calangute near all the bars and restaurants. Would recommend as suitable for most. A note regarding one of the previous reports, there was no noise and was probably one of the quietest hotels at night, perhaps the person who had a problem at Christmas was either unlucky or should re route to Eastbourne.
Hate it
Sent christmass 2004 the room above mine had 20 internal tourists it was the worst trip to India.4 trip and i will not use this hotel again
Great hotel
