Independent travel advisor · Goa

Someone to actually talk to before you book a villa in Goa.

I'm Rahul Khanna. I help travellers find the right holiday stay in Goa — matching your dates, group size and budget to a property that fits, and staying reachable from enquiry through to check-out. I'm an authorised booking agent for AlohaGoa and earn a commission on confirmed bookings. I don't own or operate any property.

How a booking works

Four steps, usually across a day or two.

  1. You send an enquiry

    Dates, number of guests, rough budget, and which part of Goa you have in mind — North, South, beachside or inland.

  2. I shortlist stays that fit

    I come back with two or three real options from AlohaGoa's inventory, with photos, what's included, and honest notes on location and access. Not a list of everything available.

  3. You confirm and pay

    Once you pick a stay, I share a payment link. Card, UPI and net banking are all accepted. You get a written confirmation with the property address and check-in details.

  4. I stay reachable

    Before and during your stay, for anything from early check-in to airport transfers to a problem at the property.

What I book

Holiday stays across Goa, through AlohaGoa.

Private villas

Whole-property stays for families and groups, typically with a private pool. Suited to 6–20 guests.

Apartments & studios

Smaller serviced stays for couples and short trips, close to the main North Goa beach belt.

Group & event stays

Multi-villa bookings for weddings, reunions and offsites, where dates and capacity need coordinating.

Rates depend on season, occupancy and length of stay. Peak periods around Christmas, New Year and long weekends are priced higher and book out early. I'll quote the exact all-in amount before you pay anything.

Payments

What you're paying, and who it goes to.

What the payment covers
The full booking amount for your stay, as quoted in writing before you pay. There is no separate advisory or service fee charged to you — my earnings are the commission retained on each confirmed booking under my agreement with AlohaGoa.
How to pay
I share a payment link for each booking. Credit and debit cards, UPI and net banking are accepted. Payments are processed by a licensed payment gateway; card details are entered on the gateway's page and are never seen or stored by me.
Deposit and balance
Most bookings are confirmed against an advance of 50% of the total, with the balance due at the time of check-in. The exact split is stated on your confirmation.
Currency and taxes
All amounts are quoted and collected in Indian Rupees (INR), inclusive of applicable taxes unless stated otherwise.
Settlement
I am authorised by AlohaGoa to collect booking payments on their behalf. Every collected amount is settled to AlohaGoa against the specific booking it relates to.
Confirmation
A written confirmation with the property name, address, dates and total paid is sent by email within 24 hours of payment. If you haven't received it, contact me before travelling.

Cancellation and refunds

Please read before you pay. Terms follow AlohaGoa's property policy.

Standard terms
Cancellations 30 days or more before check-in: full refund less payment gateway charges. Between 7 and 30 days: 50% refund. Under 7 days or no-show: no refund. Peak-season and group bookings may carry stricter terms, which will be stated on your confirmation.
How to cancel
Email or WhatsApp me with your booking reference. Cancellation takes effect from when I acknowledge it in writing, not from when you send it.
Refund processing
Approved refunds are processed to the original payment method within 7 working days. Depending on your bank or card issuer, it may take a few days longer to appear on your statement.
If a property becomes unavailable
If the property cannot host you for reasons outside your control, you'll be offered an equivalent alternative for the same dates, or a full refund of everything paid.
Complaints
If something goes wrong, contact me first. I'll respond within one working day and take it up with AlohaGoa on your behalf.

Privacy

What I collect and why.

What I collect
Your name, phone number, email address, travel dates and guest details — only what's needed to quote and confirm a booking, and to meet the property's guest registration requirements.
Who it's shared with
AlohaGoa and the specific property you're booking. Nothing is sold, rented or shared with anyone else for marketing.
Payment data
I do not collect or store card numbers, CVV or bank credentials. These are handled entirely by the payment gateway.
Removing your details
Write to me at the email below and I'll delete your details, except where records must be retained for tax or legal reasons.
