The advice, to see the prices, is to enter the dates of your stay and make your own comparisons.
-
Is breakfast always included?No, it depends on the rate and whether the structure is organized to offer it or not. Check carefully before booking what is included and what is not and what type of service is offered.
-
Can I make special requests?Of course, when booking you will have a field where you can write directly to the property and make your requests. These will be evaluated by the Hotel who will respond directly to you. MeTour is not responsible in this decision-making process.

If you have any special requests or needs you can indicate them at the time of booking by writing them in the "special requests" field which will be forwarded directly to the property.

- What is Paga in Structural and what are Payment Pre-Authorisations?
When you book, some facilities offer the possibility of paying directly at the facility. In these cases you will simply be asked to insert your credit (or debit) card to guarantee the booking, but without any charge. The sum will be taken from your credit card only in the cases provided for by the policies and conditions relating to your booking. In other cases, when the Partner does not adopt automatic availability and booking systems, but confirms reservations "manually", then you will be asked to insert your credit (or debit) card to guarantee the reservation, and then be directly charged at the same time as the Partner confirms the booking (within 24-48 hours). At that moment you will receive an email with the booking confirmation and payment.
-
How do I know if my card has been pre-authorized?By consulting your credit card balance you will see that your available balance will be temporarily reduced by the amount of your booking. In other cases and depending on the policy of your credit card circuit, you may also find an entry in the monthly summary of card movements: "pending operation". The pre-authorization block, depending on the situation, will be maintained according to the policies and terms and conditions of what has been booked.
-
How can I cancel or change my booking?Easy, enter the customer area with your credentials and from there you can modify or cancel your booking. Remember that changing dates or canceling with a refund request depends on the rate you chose when booking.

How can I get help with my booking?Enter the customer area with your credentials and from there you can contact us or by writing through our contact form specifying your booking number and the reason for the contact request. We recommend that you also leave a telephone number where you can be reached in case of need.
-
Are there taxes, local charges or extras to be paid directly on site?They are normally clearly indicated in the property sheet or added during the booking phase depending on local regulations or the facility's policies.

The advice is to read everything carefully before booking or writing to us through our contact form.

Covid 19 Reservations/Cancellations/Changes of Dates/Refunds:
-
For reservations made we advise you to keep in mind the risk related to Coronavirus (COVID-19) and related government measures. If you book a rate that is not “flexible” or “non-cancellable” or “non-changeable”, you may not be entitled to a refund in the event of cancellation or to a refund. Any requests for cancellation or date changes will be handled based on the policy of the rate chosen at the time of booking and any consumer protection laws. In uncertain times like these, MeTour recommends booking with rates that allow free cancellation or date changes, so that if you have to change plans or restrictions arise, you can cancel for free up to the deadline set by the structure.

Covid-19: travel restrictions and adviceMeTour encourages its Partners to follow a careful prevention policy towards the Covid-19 pandemic, promoting those structures with strict sanitization and control protocols and monitors any contagion situations by blocking reservations towards those structures or places that are particularly affected. However, since we cannot intervene directly on the structures, which are independent from MeTour, the advice is to check whether there are travel restrictions in place before booking and reaching the structure. In fact, travel may only be authorized for specific reasons and, in particular, travel for tourist purposes may not be permitted. We recommend that you visit the government websites of the various countries in the world of destination, the website of the WHO (World Health Organization) and local government bodies, official information sites and, last but not least, the website of the Booked Facilities. . MeTour is not responsible for the content of the aforementioned sites, but recommends consulting news that is as up to date as possible.

Lovely colonial style with beautiful ornate furnishings floors and ceilings.
Informative host and a good breakfast make this a good place to stay for exploring Panjim and the Latin quarter.

Good hotel, but beware
Beautiful hotel, beautiful street, good room. Beware, sympathic but a bit tricky Roy can give you a different kind of room than the one you ordered: he doesn't upgrade but downgrade. We booked for a "premium" room but we got an "executive" one.

WIFI
Two main things I rate in accommodation first bed comfort and second wifi speed. Both were not good, the mattress was so hard I was stiff and sore each morning normally I am find with beds but this had been the worst 3 nights of sleep. On the summary for the guest house it states super fast Wifi the down load speed was lucky to get to 5 mbps, Roy said the reason why was they do not pay for wifi and use a public system set up. I went to Panjim Inn to have a meal and their speed was 20 mbps they pay for their wifi, I needed internet for work. The building itself it lovely as is the whole area of the old quarter. I had stayed in Goa for 8 weeks so this was my splurge for my last days in India. Roy was a very informative host, breakfast selection was good too. Solo traveller.

A bed and breakfast in a 200 year old heritage property well located in buzzy Fontainhas
Stayed there recently when we did a girls trip to Goa! We chose to stay in Fontainhas and discovered this heritage B&B and spent 3 nights here.
Rooms are spacious. We stayed on the 1st floor
Well appointed AC rooms and spacious bathroom with all mod cons. TV, tea coffee maker and fridge in room.
Breakfast is included in the room rate. It was satisfactory. No complaints. The dining room opens onto the garden so Al fresco breakfast is possible.
No other food or drink service is available
Fortunately, it’s very well located in Fontainhas and has Restuarants and cafés all within short walking distance.
The negatives were:
On finding the breakfast coffee had cooled down on the last day, we requested it to be heated, the owner, Roy said it’s past our breakfast time ending 10 am. Not possible.
The tea coffee fridge unit in the room had sharp handles which tore my t shirt. Roy was not bothered much.
Note: There’s no elevator so take a room on the ground floor if you can’t climb stairs. Otherwise, rooms upstairs would be preferable
The best part of choosing this B&B is the location, the spacious rooms in a beautiful heritage property and it’s value for money.

Wunderbar und rundum empfehlenswert!
Wunderschöne Unterkunft mitten im portugiesischen Viertel Fontainhas, mit hohen Decken, schönen Fliesen, tollen alten Möbeln. Gutes Bett und schöne warme Dusche. Sehr leckeres Frühstück. Die Eigentümer Roy und Sharon haben ein enzyklopäisches Wissen über Goa und Indien und es macht große Freude, sich mit ihnen zu unterhalten. Sie sind super hilfsbereit, geben tolle Empfehlungen für Restaurants, Sehenswürdigkeiten, Ausflüge und sind absolut freundlich und offen. Wunderbare Erfahrung!
