Woodpecker has some prime highlights like direct beach access, making it perfect for those seeking a peaceful getaway. Guests loved the cozy, well-maintained rooms and excellent food, with many raving about the breakfast spread. However, several reviews pointed out issues with cleanliness and upkeep, raising concerns about the property's management. While the hospitality and location garnered praise, inconsistent service stood out as a common drawback. Overall, it seems like a mixed bag for potential visitors.

Terrible Stay
This property is poorly maintained, I booked for 3 nights in wooden cabinet, upon checked-in at 6pm I visited beach and returned to room at around 10:30 PM. Though the Ac was continously on, there was no air throw or cooling at all. The ceiling fan was only running at high speed or no speed but there was no cooling at all. The rooms were suffocating. After complaints and trials by in experienced staff and checking for 2 rooms I was moved to a smaller of lower class at 11PM. Somehow I managed to sleep but it was again same situation in a day..Housekeeping of room was not done no water bottle were provided. I complained to MakeMyTrip and they tried to resolve but it was found that the other 2 rooms also have inefficient AC. Finally I decided to checkout and went to another hotel. The food is very costly and the breakfast is not worth. The kitchen staff told that cook has left the job so we can only serve Dal and Chapati. Overall this is poor experience at hotel and I am still awaiting resolution and refund from MakeMyTrip

Poor Stay
I had an extremely horrible experience during my stay at Woodpecker, booked . The property was in terrible condition, with poorly maintained structures and a damaged gate that even had a hole. This made us feel highly unsafe, and we had to insert a tissue to cover it. Unfortunately, we couldn’t take pictures for proof, but the condition was completely unacceptable. Misleading Photos & Poor Room Conditions The actual property did not match the pictures shown . The rooms were far from what was advertised, making us feel deceived. On top of that, the geyser was not working, and my wife fell sick due to the lack of hot water. Despite needing it urgently, no action was taken by the management. Terrible Food & Breakfast Service The breakfast experience was equally disastrous. The food options were very limited, and when we asked for more aloo parathas, they were not provided. There was only one type of juice available, and when we requested an alternative, the staff ignored our request. The tea was served cold, and when we asked them to reheat or replace it with a hot one, they did not bother responding. Several food items were not up to the mark, served cold, and there was no proper management at the breakfast station. The staff seemed completely unconcerned about the guests. Extremely Poor Management & Sanitation The overall hygiene was disappointing, and the management was highly unresponsive. It was clear that guest comfort and satisfaction were not a priority at this property. Final Verdict: Avoid at All Costs! This was one of the worst stays I have ever experienced. The lack of security, poor facilities, unhelpful staff, and terrible food quality made it an absolute disaster. I strongly urge MMT to take action against such properties, either ensuring proper standards are met or removing them from the platform. I would never recommend this stay to anyone! Extremely disappointing

It was a great stay. The host was great. Location is just to die for. It’s right at the beach, don’t do anything just sit there and have a few drinks or coffee and you will feel that the day just went past you. Food was amazing too albeit service could be bit better. All in all a great stay.

Paradise by the beach
I recently stayed at Woodpegger by the beach and it was an absolute delight. The property offers a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. The rooms are cozy, clean and well maintained. The staff were highly hospitable and went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The proximity of the beach is a huge bonus, right from the soothing sound of the waves to stunning sunsets. Restaurant serves delicious food with a good mix of Goan flavours and international cuisine. Everything we tried was fresh and flavourful. This is perfect for anyone looking for peaceful, beachside gateway in Goa. It’s also pet friendly. Will visit soon!

Best place to stay in north goa!
A surprise find but we are glad we found this place. The stay was comfortable, the beach well you are right on it and added advantage is the beach is almost secluded with a very limited gentry, and yes you can wear a bikini. The most important part are the staff, they really take care of you starting from the guy at valet! and then if you have been looking for a pet friendly place we had a lovely stay with our golden retriever who not only enjoyed her swims in the ocean but ruled the restaurant and the hotel like she owned it along with the in-house sweetheart layla (a bull dog mix) a affectionate little angel.

Worst parking and car unsafe
Hi i stayed here on 13dec and after checking out i found that someone has scratched my car in their valet area. Shockingly they refused to admit the same started blame game. Rooms are just ok and food was good. But parking is huge problem. We know it was done by their local neighbors, but under their watch.

Condition of wooden cottages are very bad in terms of cleanliness.
familyI chose wooden cottage room for my stay. I checked in at around night 11 approximately. The room size was small compared to other rooms. Room was in a very bad shape and condition. Terrible housekeeping. Dust, spider webs in almost all corners. Water kettle and tea cups looked as if they were never cleaned. Spider web was visible on them. Cupboard top was full of dust. I complained same to property md but he couldn't do anything despite saying sorry. Alternative room was not provided. Since it's late night i couldn't move to different resort at that time. The property md told me that he will provide me alternative room next day provided any room gets vacated. The next day after 1300hrs i got alternative cabin which was ok compared to existing room in terms of size and cleanliness. The property manager acted as if he has resolved my issue but what about previous night stay in a dirty room with my family. He cannot compensate that thing. The housekeeping guys body language looked so lazy. They were not interested in helping out to shift my room luggage. Restaurant food was very good. One thing bothered me that they were prioritizing orders for foreigners than indians. Sad mentality.

We stayed in woodpeggers for 2 nights in wooden cottages it was superb experience. Hospitality was upto the mark and food was above and beyond the mark. It is a peaceful place to enjoy with friends and family. Also the plus point is the direct access to beach. Overall it was a memorable stay. Thank you team woodpeggers.

Worst room and room service ever witne
The stay was the worst, rooms are not as shown in the picture, it's highly photoshop. Room service is worst, every time we need to follow up for basic things, for room cleaning no help desk number the room wall was liking and the fan was making noise all the time it was difficult to get good sleep. And the closet in the room was not up to the mark, not able to close it properly. All basic things were missing. The restaurant was good, the staff was very good and polite.

Quick beach access, but many points to imp
familyIt is a small property with beach access. We stayed in a suite room with balcony which was spacious. Food was average but breakfast spread was good. We found the staff somewhat impolite and unresponsive since there is no room service. We were first shown a smaller room and then changed when i showed mm t booking details. We stayed for two nights, but the room was not cleaned in spite of multiple requests and reminders. Car parking is 10mins away but they provide valet. Local cab service is more than double price than goamiles. It is a pet friendly property overall, average experience.
