The homestay specialises in a continental and Full English/Irish breakfast and breakfast in the room is also available. For visitors looking to embark on day trips to nearby landmarks, Noah's Nest Tree House provides a selection of packed lunches.

We stayed in the boat house, and it was by far the most special and memorable stay of our trip. The surroundings are absolutely stunning and peaceful, such that we decided to spend our days here to recharge rather than go on any tours. Idling away on the balcony of the boat or lounging in the adjcent hammock was just delightful. Kayaking on the river was a highlight! We also went on some short, pleasant walks, engaging with friendly locals on the way: one to the nearby village (where you can find all essentials) and one in the other direction. Being directly by the water was great for nature watching and it felt like we were the only ones there (while feeling completely safe as two females). The room itself was clean, comfortable and free from creepy crawlies. Wifi was surprisingly very good too. At night it was an amazing experience going to sleep with the sounds of nature around us. We had breakfast and vegetarian dinner, which were very tasty. Although you can choose to order food to eat in the room we opted for the home cooked dinner in the main building so as not to risk attracting any ants on our balcony. The logistics of our stay were also smooth - the caretaker Ganesh was friendly and helpful, and the owners super hospitable and fluent in English, helping us arrange a taxi for our onward travel. We stayed for two days but would definitely recommend staying longer if your itinerary allows for it.

The spacious homestay is equipped with a satellite flat-screen TV. Guests can enjoy a meal on an outdoor dining area while overlooking the mountain views.

The family-friendly restaurant at the homestay serves American cuisine, and is open for dinner and lunch.

Very good value for money. The room and sheets were clean. Room had normal shower with hot water. Window and balcony faced the forest, so we really enjoyed sounds of birds. Homestay is a bit further from the main street, so it was quiet. They also have a restaurant downstairs. Host speaks English and is very helpful.

    The host was very warm and welcoming. He helped us book all the things we wanted to see/do. All the activities he arranged for us were great too! The property was very clean which is very important to us. We stayed whilst the festival was on and it was amazing, everyone in the homestay made sure we felt welcome and that we attended the festival which was truly an amazing experience. It was nice to stay somewhere that felt homely when you are so far away from home. Not to mention we had a lovely balcony too! Very good value for money

    The best homestay you could find in India. Very clean, comfortable rooms and a lovely rooftop social area. Afsal is a fantastic host. He makes you feel at home immediately. He has good knowledge of activities in the area and is well respected by the locals. Like most guests, we wanted to extend our stay, and we were sad to leave. I highly recommend 👌

    I loooved my stay at Konark homestay. Rani and her husband are great hosts and trust me you will want to book this place for the views alone! The sun sets beautifully over the nature reserve which is right on the boarder of the back of the homestay. Also I think they improved their wifi because I had no issues, I was also able to upload a very large video file within 2 hours. If I come back to Kumily I will book here again. Water in shower gets hot and the bed is comfortable as well.

    The home stay was a good place to stay in. The factors which made me give spice green homestay 5star rating is first and the most important hosts Mr. Mohanan is quite a humble person he is too helpful. He and his wife serve the best food in quite a reasonable rate. The second is rooms the rooms are spacious, comfortable and CLEAN. I would say that you must plan your stay at Spice Green homestay.
