Situated in Thekkady in the Kerala region, Spice Cottage Homestay has a patio and inner courtyard views. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk and a shared kitchen for guests.

The best homestay experience I've had so far in India. The location is good, and the rooms are very clean and comfortable. What sets it appart even more is the host, Mr Abbas. Very friendly and helpful, gave me lots of good advice and dropped me off on his bike a few times. Makes a delicious breakfast for only a 100 rupees as well. Thank you mr Abbas for a wonderful stay, I would recommend this homestay to everyone!

Set in Thekkady in the Kerala region, Sopanam Heritage Thekkady has a balcony and garden views. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The property offers car hire and features a garden and outdoor fireplace.

The homestay offers bed linen, towels and housekeeping service.

The nearest airport is Madurai Airport, 145 km from the homestay.

I can’t say enough about this stay and the service. The manager, Lawrence, is an outstanding host and goes above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable and taken care of. After we were all checked in and settled, Lawrence gave us a detailed WhatsApp message info about all the activities around the area. He also made sure we were driven to and picked up from where ever we needed to go for ZERO COST. The owner was actually the one driving us and him and his family were extremely kind. They fed us a good South Indian breakfast. This was also the quietest night of sleep we’ve had in India!

The homestay offers some units with mountain views, and units are equipped with a private bathroom.

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.

    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.
