Stayed for 2 nights having booked in advance. Shibu and family were very accommodating, relatively prompt response to emails and welcoming on arrival. We stayed in two rooms as we wanted to try the 2nd floor views but it was only available for one night which Shibu made clear in advance so no problem. Having also stayed in a ground... More

When you are walking towards Kerala House, you may wonder, if you have chosen the right place but hold on to your decision till you enter it. A small cute place, with 6 rooms, 2 on each floor which was spic and span, including the loos. The folliage around it is breath-taking and at night the fragrance of flowers will... More

My friend and i stayed here for two nights and we absolutely adored the place. The rooms are large and very clean. The big balcony has great views onto the Wildlife reserve, and it's very relaxing just to sit outside with a beer and watch it all. If you want breakfast, lunch or anything else - just ask. Shibu and... More

Hidden off the road and behind another building this unassuming homestay was a revelation on opening the door to our room! Spacious, scrupulously clean with a balcony facing out onto the Periyar wildlife reserve. Shibu and his lovely wife welcomed us warmly and organized a multitude of small but important things that made our two night stay so memorable. I... More
