    If TV was there in the room, it would be better..

    Room was spacious & clean with all basic amenities. Sunila madam guided & helped with the places that can be visited inspite of the intermittent rainfall. Breakfast was too good. They have a huge collection of plants which will be refreshing.

    Everything was great!

    Oriole homestay exceeded our expectations in terms of comfort, hospitality, and overall experience. The room was spacious (the biggest we got during our travels in India), and it had a nice big balcony (more like a terrace). The bathroom is also big, providing hot and warm water; a shower is a bit separated from the toilet so not everything is wet after showering. The hosts, Mr. Girish and Mrs. Sunila, were a real gem - they were warm and friendly and they helped us with our tickets (go to the martial show, it is really fun to see), and all other bookings (nearby trips, intercity transports, etc.). All their recommendations for nearby attractions and restaurants were excellent. We had breakfast at a homestay on our last morning, and Mrs. Sunila cooked great food, and we had a very refreshing conversation with Mr. Girish who is an expert in Thekkady animals and forests, and knows a lot about world animals in general. Mr. Girish, I will read the book soon! Finally, the location of the place was great as it was situated in a peaceful area but also close to a few good restaurants and a walk distance from the attractions.

    We stayed for two days here. The location and images are as they are in the details. It's very near to Tiger Reserve. The room is spacious and very clean. All basic amenities are provided of premium quality. We had not a single problem anytime. But the main usp of this place are the hosts. Mr Girish and Mrs Sunila are very warm and helpful. Mr Girish is a person of versatile knowledge and skills, which was very helpful for us to plan activities for our trip. And Mrs Sunila prepared a very delicious breakfast for us. Throughout our stay, they helped us in everything, and it made our Periyar trip so easy and comfortable. One can really ask their suggestions for the trip and take help in making arrangements. If you are planning to book this homestay, you really should. It's truly a "home" - stay

    Zero complaints.

    Room much bigger than expected for a homestay. Nice and bright, very clean. The hosts were kind, generous people who went out of their way to make my stay in Kumily a good one. The food was delicious and couldn't have been better. I would have loved to have stayed longer than my 3 nights.

    I think we were very happy with our stay.

    Sunila is a wonderful host, and her husband, Girish, works at the Periyar National Park in Thekaddy and has exceptional knowledge of all the birds and animals in the area. Oriole Homestay is within walking distance of the park, and also within walking distance of a wonderful restaurant called "Tusker" that is right outside the park.
