We really enjoyed the closeness of nature and watching the birds and wildlife from our balcony. Also the food was wonderful and our hosts were extremely kind generous and had an intimate knowledge of the traditional way of life ,the environment and ayurveda. Highly recommended.

Very peaceful location, just outside of Kumily, with the balcony looking out into the lush garden with spices and fruit trees. Different birds can be spotted here. Room and bathroom were very big and everything was extremely clean, with huge windows. Quiet at night, you only hear the sound of the jungle. Getting to town was easy as Binu, the owner, was a auto rickshaw driver. He brought me everywhere I wanted to go. Home cooked meals were most delicious and so cheap, various flavours of coffee and tea were offered during the day. I enjoyed helping in the kitchen and getting some cooking lessons about keralan dishes (+ the recipes). The family was super friendly and welcoming so it was very sad to leave. Absolute gem of the place!

Peaceful homestay away from the main city. The room was basic but had everything we needed, and the balcony looking out onto the jungle was wonderful and great for bird watching. Binu and his wife were wonderful hosts, welcoming us into their home each night for a home cooked meal. Binu arranged tickets for hiking in the tiger reserve before we arrived which was incredibly helpful, and dropped us into town whenever we needed. We would have loved to stay longer!

We stayed in the private room with bathroom which is on the first floor of the house while the rest of the house is on the ground floor, Everything was extremely clean, both bathroom and room very big. Large windows on three sides of the room!! Total privacy, private balcony, private entrance, peaceful and quiet at night. You're entirely surrounded by jungle with papaya growing right in front of the balcony. There are many curious birds to see too. The owners of the house are lovely and very welcoming but are also never invasive. We asked to have food which was not spicy and usually this results in the food being too spicy for our standards anyway but not here. Dinner was also very cheap 100rs. All very good value for money

Elisabeth, Italy

The location was wonderful - not central but in the quiet countryside with a balcony looking out into the garden and forest and mountains, all full of wildlife. Perfect to relax in. Organising getting into town and seeing the local sights is very easy with the owner and his rickshaw. The family offer a very high level of real Indian hospitality. We really enjoyed our stay here, especially the food and the opportunity to help in the kitchen, and would love to go back again someday for longer!

Rachel, Austria

Simply perfect! This is quite simply the best accommodation I have ever stayed at. The owners were extremely friendly, helpful and hospitable. The room, bed and towels were all clean and fresh. The food was excellent. 10/10

Lee, United Kingdom

Very lovely spacious homestay just outside of Kumily. We got a free ride into town and a very warm welcome into the family. They cooked us a delicious dinner and breakfast and we got a mini cooking lesson as a bonus. Absolute gem of a place with a secret hammock from which you can hear the sounds of the jungle!

This is the first Home Stay I have opted for in all my travels and was quite comfortable with the stay . The rooms are nice and clean and are surrounded by spice plantations and large trees . The temperature was slightly lower(GOOD) when compared with the city center (which is around 5 KMs) from this place.
