    Nothing! Everything was great!

    Very pretty property. Everything is well thought through, modern and very clean. The bed are super comfy and there is even quite some outside space to enjoy. The hosts are more than friendly, flexible and provide lovely recommendations on things to do and where to eat. I would definitely stay there again anytime!

    There is nothing to be disliked about the stay. It is a cozy place run by some warm welcoming people, tucked away from the noise of the city. would rather say some hiccups we faced was abrupt disconnection of water in the bathroom which was immediately taken care and breakfast time the spread was not ample enough for us, as we used to go to eat after 9 am by the time other guests have had food to their heart's content and we had to adjust with whatever was left! and the caretaker was kind enough to make breakfast for us.

    The place, host, the location everything was excellent, the décor awesome. Special mention to the host who is very warm affectionate person makes the guests feel like her family. She guided us and helped us whenever we had any queries with regards to places to visit, where to eat etc. She is superb. special mention to the caretaker Dellu :) ever so helping and smiling always!!

    The room size was a bit smaller than expected.

    The stay was a pleasant one. They have a lot of beautiful common areas. The hospitality was great. Rachna, the owner of the property arranged the sightseeing. She suggested for Mr. Hashim who was a fantastic guy and helped us with the places arround.

    Nothing

    It had all the positive aspects of a Homestay. Every day our breakfast was different and superb, made especially for us as we had troubles with the stomac. They gave us very good advice on that issue. And their Nepali cook Dallu prepared for us delicious light meals. It was nice sitting in their stylish central patio and WiFi connection was really good. Rachana arranged also a very good taxi service. This was not only to pick us up from Mysore, but also during our stay they gave us the best personalized service. And a massage was arranged at the Ayurvedic clinic. We couldn’t have a better service. We can definitely advice this Homestay! Forgot to mention: Rachana her English was impeccable!

    It was the height of the tourist season, so the rooms were expensive. We paid 2800+ taxes for our room. The food price is also high so we bought the dinner from outside. Breakfast was included in the package and it could have been better. It was good but not the best I had. However, you will get a taste of traditional Kerala cuisine.

    A cosy place with a relaxed atmosphere. It is near the city but is also away from all the hustle and bustle. The staff is exceptionally friendly and accommodating, ensuring a warm and welcoming experience. The room was neat and the European-model bathroom facilities made it all the more attractive.

    May be Ac or ceiling fan for summer season . Since monkeys rosm around, we couldn't keep the windows open so ventilation was less.

    A causal browse for best home stay led me to nivaasana. I must say , highly clean and hygienic and the place was well planned with aesthetic just right to go with nature lovers like me. Rachna, the owner was courteous and went out of the way to plan an itenary for our 4 day stay to explore wayanad. The travel cab " memories" was well chosen by her for us . Memories tours owner Mr. Shameer well curated our visits and made our stay there memorable.. I must specially thank Rachna to have coordinated everything for us so prefect despite she being away on her break time. I will fail in my gratitude, if I don't mention about Dille aka dellu the care taker @ nivaasana. Very efficient and dynamic care taker. Being good observer , he made sure that we like our rooms clean and changed the towels twice. Evenings was filled with garam ginger or masala chai with something to munch on by dellu and his chef. Breakfast was complimentary with traditional kerala special but once again, they were open to customize the spicy based on our preferences. On special request dinner too was served for a cost. Dellu goes to help people but liked the fact he had his own boundaries which is essential to keep his mental being and maintain the quality of nivaasana. Good training by rachna. Over all a happy and joyful stay with a desire to visit again..

    Nothing it was just perfect.

    Our stay at Nivaasana was very memorable, pleasant, and perfect! Rachana (the host) is very sweet and welcoming. She took time and made sure we were comfortably settled in. She also helped us with how to go about around Kalpetta. Nivaasana is an olden-style traditional house with a modern twist. Loved it! Dellu is the caretaker of the house, who is always ready to help you out with anything you need and ensures your stay is comfortable. The tea he prepares is worth mentioning, very tasty! The cook (don't know his name) prepared delicious lip-smacking breakfast every day. Special mention to the yummy vegetable stew prepared on one of the days. Overall this place is worth every penny you pay.

    The solar water heater takes time to heat up in the morning.

    We had a fabulous stay at Nivaasana, Rachana was an excellent host. She was very helpful and suggested covering the places in order to avoid round trips in the same direction, shared good restaurant details for breakfast and lunch on the check in day. The house was constructed based on Nalukettu Architecture. The handicrafts and arts on the wall were good and had ample space to walk and close to the center of the town. A big thanks to dellu for his service and the chefs. Both breakfast and dinner were excellent.

    Really nothing

    Everything during our stay was just wonderful, starting from the very warm welcome, we felt right at home. The owner and the staff is so nice and helpful, it feels like they are reading your wishes before saying it. The atmosphere in the homestay is so warm, cozy. It's very clean, spacious and the architecture of the house is very special. The room has everything you need and has very beautiful furniture The food is delicious and we felt very safe and got help in any matter. There is just not a thing that needs to be changed - thanks a lot for creating this space!

    Nivaasana exceeded our expectations as a B&B. The place was very cosy and homely. The best bit about the stay was Rachana. She is a superhost as she made sure that we are well fed all the time with delicious traditional food. She actively showed her beautiful garden and also helped us in finding nice spice shop in town. I highly recommend a stay at Nivaasana and I will be back for sure again if I am at Wayanad.

    Impolite treatment by host. Haggling for tiny things ends up spoiling the guest experience. Too many rules and doesn’t feel like a warm small business. Rooms are not aired and towels not clean.
