    Raison D'etre is an excellent place to stay, it's like our another home. It's one of the best accommodations at the cheapest rate, ever we could find there at Kazhakootam, near Trivandrum. It's very neat and clean. The breakfast they served...

    Wonderful ambience. Cordial and caring staff. Only regret is that we didn't find time to visit their library. Hope to visit again
