We liked everything.

Surrounded by verdant greenery, this homestay offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Alok, our host, was always readily available, he greeted us with warmth and provided us with a plethora of suggestions to make the most of our time in the area. The accommodation itself was delightful. Our room was spacious and thoughtfully furnished, providing ample space for relaxation. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, guaranteeing a restful night's sleep after a day of exploration. Additionally, the availability of hot water round the clock was a welcome convenience. One of the highlights of our stay was the impeccable care provided by the caretakers, Leena and Fatima. The food served at the homestay was nothing short of sumptuous. Prepared with love and using fresh, local ingredients, each meal was a culinary journey in itself. However, what truly sets this homestay apart is its idyllic setting. If you're seeking a peaceful retreat amidst nature's splendor, look no further than this charming homestay.

This is by far the BEST HOMESTAY we have stayed in whilst travelling in India. The room was lovely, very spacious with nice bathroom. The bed was comfortable with clean fresh bedding. The homely touches around the place made it feel extra special. The location is amazing, up in the hills surrounded by tea plantations and nature where you can go for nice treks or just sit and watch the world go by whilst listening to the birds. The very best thing about this place though is the host, Mr Alok, who is so friendly, so welcoming and so helpful. He took us on a morning trek up the mountain to watch the sunrise and also to a local river for a picnic. We met some of his local family friends which was so humbling. We had a campfire at night in the garden with a chance to just relax and chat. If you’re looking for a nice, peaceful getaway where you will be made to feel at home then just book Ghar Homestay - you won’t be disappointed. Thank you so much for the best 3 days we have had in India.

The staff, the space and rooms and overall Mr. Alok and his hosting abilities are gracious and welcoming. The overall welcoming nature, the "feeling of Oneness" with the guests enhanced the experience. We also explored the nearby natural hills in an early morning trek and were flabbergasted by the morning sunrise over the valleys through the team estates. The food offered is reasonable and very homely and simple, flavorful and easy to enjoy.

Container room could be better to accommodate. Being outside it is quite colder than other rooms

Food was just amazing.. it was in the middle of lush tea garden.. just amazing views all around.

It was a great experience. With the peak of a hill right in front of you, in the mids of the tea plantation, cloudy and misty weather is a perfect place for relaxation. The scenic view was awesome and made us to enjoy the stay. Never ending sound of birds was so rhythmic. We booked a glass house, people who wants to enjoy nature as it is, it's a best view room. Felt the cold and chill weather. Both sunrise and sunset were mind-blowing. My pet enjoyed thoroughly. Food was delicious. It was rustic and a pleasant stay. This is my first stay right in front of peaky hills. The drive was adventurous. (Do not take a short route of google maps, its rough). Mr. Alok was kind and took care of us. The staffs made us comfortable. Will visit again. Overall, I would strongly recommend trying this place at least once.

If you are looking for an offbeat place in Ooty which is away from the city hustle bustle, this is the best homestay. It's right in the middle of tea gardens and you'll get amazing 360 degree views. Perfect for nature lovers. The rooms are clean and the food is amazing as well. The staff is very helpful and polite. Special thanks to the host, Alok for an amazing barbeque dinner and showing me the most picturesque location of that area.

This review has been hidden because it doesn't meet our guidelines.

Reaching the location was a nightmare without any landmark as the map just kept on rerouting on its own due to confusion. They didn't have a card machine or any option to pay by credit card. Suggest,keep a card swiping device.

Location is very good as it's away from the actual town and in the middle of estate. House helpers are very kind and helpful. People who prefer to have a unique and serene experience would like it.

I had the pleasure of experiencing this delightful place nestled in the embrace of nature. It caters to everyone, regardless of whether you're visiting with family, friends, or as a couple. The activities offered here is truly impressive, from relishing fresh home-cooked meals to unwinding in charming rooms, enjoying BBQ and campfires, and staying connected with WiFi. The views are nothing short of breathtaking. If you're in search of tranquility and a break from the hustle and bustle of life, this place is an excellent choice. What truly stands out is the host's remarkable hospitality. They're do accommodate custom requests if need, whether it's creating a culinary masterpiece or guiding you to explore unique hiking destinations. I highly recommend giving this place a try for an unforgettable experience.

The Terrasse is Great! Alok (owner) and Lina are very kind people. Room was normal but clean and everything worked. You have to know that it is quite a “trip” to get to Coonoor, the good thing about that is that it’s quite and in between tea gardens :)

Ghar was the one of the off-beat homestays that I have visited in recent times. Situated in Hubbathala (Connoor), the stay has the best views and vibes. The room was clean and spacious with a good Wi-Fi connection. The staffs were friendly and cooked us the best homemade breakfast and dinner (suggest you not to miss the dosa and chicken curry). You can do a quick hike nearby or take a stroll in the lush green tea plantation during the morning. Mr. Alok is a super cool host who helped us with our requirements without any hassle. He has a good knowledge about the local spots one can visit during the stay. Overall, Ghar give me the perfect ambience and if you are someone looking to do 'Work from Mountains' and enjoy your time, Ghar is the place for you!

We loved our stay at Ghar Homestay. The staff was amazing, Alok is a great host. The location is nice, a bit outside of town, with an amazing view and good hiking around the tea plantations.

Ghar as named , truly loves to stay here in a relaxing environment. Alok and the team were so nice and friendly with our pet Pruno. Pruno was so happy there as he was roaming without a leash in the backyard with his new friend Mani ( she is ghar's pet). Even we have seen Bison 🦬 in backyard almost every day morning while we went to walk around 6 am. The food made by Rekha was delicious. Even on Ganesh chaturthi they made Prasad which was delicious and homely. We had Ramfal after a long time. Pruno received a surprise gift from Alok n team. He loves it so much. Thanks to Ghar's team for a calming and relaxing holiday.
