WinterHome homestay

Very good facilitating

The property owner was really helping and polite

Privacy was little bit lacking as other room in the same villa was occupied by somebody else.

Hospitality from owner was very very appreciated. The owner had kindly explained about the nearby attractions and facilities.

There was nothing as such not to be liked

ONLY STAFF

ROOM ARRANGMENT FACILITIES PROVIDED

Best location to stay and breakfast provided was tasty. The premises was kept neat and clean. The staff was very polite and made all arrangements for us, Keep it up Winter Home.

The view of the balcony is beautiful. The room was spacious, comfortable and very clean. The host was our highlight! She was super kind and helpful, we purchased the very affordable and delicious meals she prepared for us (breakfast, lunch and dinner) and she also helped us getting an auto to drive us around.

If anything, Munnar is a bit further than we expected and it’s hard to go around without a car/auto. Still our stay was so pleasant that the distance was worth it!

They cancelled the booking due to unforeseeable circumstances

Limpieza, tranquilidad y comida casera.

Everything was perfect. The host was very friendly and welcoming. Perfect location. There are waterfalls and a zipline nearby.

The stay is built in an impeccable Irish design, nestled amidst the beautiful greens of Kerala, a walking distance to the Ripple Waterfalls! It is not on the main roads of Munnar, and is quiet and serene. One of the highlights though was the caretaker Shyama, and her warm hospitality and brilliantly cooked meals! Would absolutely recommend!!

Liked the atmosphere and customer care

All good

Winter Home Homestay is truly a hidden gem! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and genuine hospitality that made us feel right at home. The rooms are spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully decorated - perfect for relaxing after a chilly day. The homestay offers breathtaking views, delicious home-cooked meals, and every little detail has been taken care of with love. What really makes this place special is the host's kindness and attentiveness - always ready to help, share local tips, and make sure we had the best experience. It felt less like a stay and more like being part of a family. If you're looking for comfort, serenity, and unforgettable memories, Winter Home Homestay is the perfect choice. I would happily give more than 5 stars if I could!

Very good home cooking

Quiet spot. Beautiful nature. Great if you want to chill and not do too much (like our first day we loved it). Good value.. Good bedding though top sheet not provided unless you ask for it. Nice lady who offered help to arrange taxi and showed her cardamom and nutmeg. Nice area to walk with proximity to zip line and small snack bar.

Listing is confusing: it is not an "excellent location" (written right after '7 miles from downtown" on the listing). I expected 7 miles from Munnar city as indicated, having searched Munnar. Munnar is more like 12.5 miles 20 km or 50+ minutes from there. Anachal (also with tea gardens) is closer for sure but still 30 min. If you come from Munnar it will be 800 roupies of taxi one way. Location (as the listing says but we did not understand it) is in Elackal. Just near Ripple waters if you want to google map it. We (and 2 other travelers did as well) got confused for listing pictures, some of which show a full villa. Yes there is a full villa but is much more expensive (gotta see listing option). The actual entry level price is upstairs of owner's home, with a shared dining room and sofa with 3 bedrooms with private bathrooms (pic with blue curtains) on the top floor of owners house. I guess I now see you can get villa for more money but we all thought that was what we were getting because pictures in listing are not clearly separate or indicated which is which. There is a kettle but no coffee or tea available which we always get in airbnb. Glasses not always present.. We did dinner. Good Kerala food at 100 roupies (veg) and 200 roupies non veg. There is not much food but rice or chapati. Would recommend if possible more food and i would be ready to pay more. Last, and again just to help the owner, I would recommend clear communication rules for dinner. We did ask for first couple nights but not for 3rd night and unfortunately did not communicate it and the lady brought us dinner we did not need (sorry).

Truly amazing place. It's so peaceful and quiet there. The room was very nice, with all I needed inside. I was offered some delicious homemade food as well. Fully recommend.

Every Thing

Nothing

We enjoyed a very nice and relaxed stay with a very warm welcome from our very sympathetic host. She was a great cooker and helped us to make beautiful trips in the surroundings. We had a comfortable and separately room in the house of the family with balcony with garden-view and extra space for dinner and breakfast. The house is situated in a cosy area nearby the waterfalls. We would definately come back and recommend it.

The hostess was very friendly, helpful and a very good cook. The room was modern, comfy bed. Cute little balcony with a view straight into the jungle.

Quite remote.

Complimentary breakfast was very good. And the staff so kind and helpful person. Thanks for your support. Wonderful stay...

Kindly check the television remote in room that's Working or not, because our room remote was unable to connect.. that's only issues otherwise everything was perfect and Nice.

Great rooms with great hosts and delicious food। A bit far from Munnar bus stand but that's why the place is so tranquil। We really loved our 2 nights stay। The hosts are always there with anything you need। And the best food we had on our Kerala trip।

Liked everything।

Beautiful property. Well maintained. Very cosy. Lovely balcony with beautiful view.

We stayed in the cottage across from the main house which was very spacious and nicely decorated. The view from the balcony was incredible, and the location of the guesthouse made for a very peaceful stay. Though the food was limited, it was very tasty and plentiful. The host was pleasant, and kindly arranged for a tuktuk to pick us up and drop us off at the bus station.

There was an issue with the room we had originally booked, so we were given a different, upgraded room. However, the room we were shown to was dirty and appeared to have not been serviced since the last guest. When we requested the room be cleaned, the host kindly swept and mopped the floor. Unfortunately, we had to ask a second time for the sheets to be changed. Even after two rounds of cleaning, the bathroom remained dirty, with the mirror and faucets covered in limescale. We also found the food situation a bit unusual. There are no shops or restaurants in the area, aside from one near Ripple Waterfall with a very limited selection. Breakfast is served at the guesthouse at 8:00am, and dinner at 8:30pm. We were told the nearest restaurant is 5km away, so unless you're willing to travel that far, there are no other options for lunch. Additionally, there is no menu from which to choose breakfast and dinner at the guesthouse — you simply get what you're given. That was fine for us, but may not be for fussy eaters or people with dietary requirements.

We stayed in a cottage opposite the main house, we had a shared seating/kitchen area with other guests. The room was ok. The home cooked meals were excellent and great value for money. The views amazing, and it was lovely to be able to sit on the balcony. Walking (very hilly) distance to Ripple waterfalls.

No aircon only a ceiling fan. This property is a long way from restaurants.

Simply superb

The owners were very friendly and nice, they tried to offer help all the time, at the end they took us to see their plantation in the woods and it was so interesting and fun.

Very nice location very near by to beautiful waterfall .

Very professional & Exquisite hospitality provided by Mrs. Shyama & Family. Mr. Mohan was very helpful in guiding the areas nearby.

None

Very good location

Beautiful house inside and out nice ambiance around the house and the ripple waterfalls is walk away

3 BHK Flat. Good for family.What a place. In the jungle just near the ripple waterfall and great view and peaceful place. The host were awesome and they went out of their way to cook north indian meal for us and helped with laundry. Food was fresh and hot. Would highly recommend this place. If you plan to stay here make sure you reach before check-in time to fully enjoy the waterfall and visit nearby areas on foot. Dont miss the ropeway, you get to view the full waterfall through ropeway

They should add basic north indian food to meal if at all possible. South indian meal was awesome

The rooms were clean and the stay was amazing. The food was good like native one. They really care about the guests & are supported well in an emergency situation.

The location and the view The service and comfort

No ac <only since it was exceptionally hot when we came >

This place is more then an hotel. It is a home away from home. The host is like family. So helpful, so loving. So caring. Thank you for this beautifull experience. We will never forget you

Super nice family as hosts. Fantastic Keralan home cooked food! Both dinner and breakfast was absolutely delicious. Quiet location down the valley, that is perfect for a relaxed stay😊

There was no closet for clothes.

An absolute stunning place to stay. The most modern and comfortable place I stayed on my travels. The staff so kind and helpful that bend over backwards for you to have the best experience while you stay. Food is delicious. 5 stars from me. Highly recommended 👌

Good place where to stay. Very peaceful. Recommended. The hosts are good people.

Shyama and Mohan were the perfect hosts - excellent food, a lovely double aspect room overlooking the jungle, arranging rickshaws and taxis etc etc. Also helped to trample the peppercorn harvest and saw the mountain of cardoman harvested from their plantation.

Winterhome is 18km from Munnar although Shyama will arrange a tuk-tuk to take you into town. It does mean it is a very peaceful place though and on the Periyar side of Munnar if that is where you are going next.

Chechi is so warm and welcoming. Her food is the best we had, she helped with transport to her homestay, for a tuk tuk to take us sight seeing one day and was very quick to respond to any questions. The place was perfect for us. We needed a few days down time where we could chill and do things at our own pace in a peaceful environment.

THE PLACE IS SERENE AND THE HOST IS EXCELLENT WHO ATTENDS TO REQUESTS WITH CHEER. FOOD WAS PREPARED BY THE HOST THAT WAS EXCEPTIONAL AND HAD PERSONAL TOUCH !!!

AN ALMIRAH SMALL SIZE CAN BE PLACED IN THE ROOM. BATHROOM TO HAVE SMALL SHELF TO KEEP THINGS.

This homestay is lovely and I would highly recommend a stay here. We stayed in the Family Double room, which is actually a stand-alone cottage with 2 bedrooms which can be separately rented. The view from the spacious balcony was absolutely outstanding, this was probably our favourite thing about Winterhome, which only added to the peaceful ambience of the remote location. Our host Syama was extremely warm and friendly and kindly prepared us dinner on both nights as well as breakfast in the mornings, breakfast was included. She also helped us arrange tuk-tuks and a taxi to Thekaddy. There are a few small kiosk shops and some waterfalls with zip lines within 200m down the lane from the cottage.

This isn’t really a negative just a watch-out, the Keralan breakfast is a little on the light side, so if you’re hungry maybe go for the eggs and bread! However I’m sure we could’ve requested both. It’s also pretty far out of town but that is part of its charm and taxis/tuk-tuks are very cheap.

Property was good, but they have cheated us , My Room was confirmed according to Booking.com.When I reached at property ,they refused us by saying that I had not paid some advance amount . But they had provided us another room which was not that standard as we booked first

Clean room. Nice host. Tasty homely food. Calm surrounding.

Lovely hosts, great location 5 mins from waterfall, delicious homecooked food and spacious clean rooms.

Syama and Mohan were the most wonderful hosts - they clearly have a passion for ensuring their guests get the most from their time in Munnar. The property is wonderfully situated amongst the forest and at the end of the drive is one of the most impressive waterfalls in the region - which you can actually take a swim in - such a wonderful experience. The home cooked food was delicious and we even picked our vegetables from their small holding which they transformed into that evening's delicious meal. Such great hosts - thanks guys!

Nothing, honestly everything was great!

The beautiful landscape, the quiet atmosphere, the kindness of the hosts.

Very nice place to stay, super helpful and kind staff

Good

If you want to stay at a peaceful place in Munnar, then this is the perfect place to be. Host Shyama and Mohana infact their kids are lovely and very supportive. They will provide home made food, tea and water on demand. Their sambar, fish fry and chicken curry is awesome. Do garden tour and enjoy scenery. Ripple waterfall and a 600m zipline is on walking distance from the property. Apart from that there is a dam, echo point, hanging bridge and also a sunset point nearby. Happy travelling....
