Varam Homestay in Madikeri (Coorg), gave the comfort and warmth of home. It's a simple, yet well maintained property. Pradeep and his wife, the caretakers and the property owners took good care of us and hospitable people. I will recommend it to anyone with a small family to consider this property.
The location is a little far from the bus stand, requiring an autorickshaw.
The owners were really helpful, friendly and gave us lot of information about places to visit.
I don't usually write reviews, but this place truly deserves one. I was a bit skeptical when I first came across the property, but I'm so glad I booked it. The room exceeded my expectations—it was spotless, comfortable, and very well maintained. The hosts were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the breakfast was absolutely top-notch. If you're traveling as a group of three, I honestly believe this is one of the best places you can stay in this price range. Highly recommended!
The place is very clean. Genuine people. Feels like home. Location is also good. The famous omkareswara temple is near by.
We had a very pleasant stay at this homestay. It is a great choice for small families or couples of 2–3 people. The location is excellent, right in the heart of Madikeri and next to the Omkareshwara Temple. Popular attractions like Raja's Seat, Madikeri Fort, and the main market are all within a short distance, making sightseeing very convenient. The hosts were very welcoming, polite, and helpful throughout our stay. The homestay was clean and well-maintained. Useful facilities like a refrigerator and water purifier were also available, which made our stay more comfortable.
Hosts eere cordial and approachable.
.
It is perfect for family, couples. Breakfast is simply superb like homemade food. Owners are very helpful to know about locations.
Mr Pradeep and his wife Usha were fantastic hosts! The location was perfect ; walking distance to the main town square and right next to the Shri Omkareswara temple. The property was spotless and so well equipped and organized, and the breakfast and hospitality was among the best I have experienced. 10/10 and thanks for the lovely energy and warmth!
Good location and well setup apartment.
I really enjoyed my stay here. The apartment has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Filtered water, fridge to keep it cool. Cooking facilities if you need them. Then there is the balcony where you can watch the comings and goings at the temple opposite. Not only do you get all this, in addition there is the wonderful hospitality and helpfulness of Pradeep and Usha. They provided me suggestions on places to visit nearby. Then there are the lovely home cooked breakfasts! Location is good for walking into town or Raja's seat. One of my nicest stays this trip.
This is just me but I react to air fresheners and chemical scents. There is an electronic air freshener in the lounge which Pradeep switched off. The others I put in a draw until I left.
Sehr zentrale Lage in direkter Nähe zum Tempel. Innenstadt gut zu Fuß erreichbar. Sehr nette und fürsorgliche Gastgeber, die sehr gerne mit tolle Tipps geben. Das Essen war sehr lecker und frisch zubereitet.
Very friendly and generous owner
Super friendly and helpful beautiful family!! Always caring about customer. Room is so neat and clean I'v never seen before in India.I will never forget the few days I spent Varam Homestay.Thank you so much wonderful family:)))

Incredibly beautiful house and warm hearted owner family!! That's amazing..Am I really in India???? The owner family are so helpful and cosiderate
Absolutely not
I was there for 2 nights with my parents. They liked the stay here. The hospitality of the hosts, the breakfast, the cleanliness of the house and the location, everything was good. I do not have any negative feedback.
Almost nothing
The hosts have been very friendly and helpful and did everything that so that I could enjoy the homestay (including tips what to do in and around Coorg). The breakfast was very good with home-made Dosa. In the evening I was offered dinner that I really enjoyed a lot. Thank you so much for your hospitality.
I personally would have enjoyed a separate shower - but that is only a minor point.
I really like this property. The location is very good, the breakfast is nice, and most importantly, I love the view from the balcony. A very kind host with wonderful hospitality. We were treated like family members.

The hospitality and the atmosphere is awesome. Breakfast is also very excellent Life time memorable one. Usha and Pradeep cute couple.

Breakfast

Breakfast was of our choice. And quality of food was excellent. And the portions were very satisfying.
No complains about anything.
The location of the property is one of the best in Madikeri as it’s in the city centre and a lot of tourist destinations are at walkable distance. The facilities were pretty good and the cleanliness was top notch. The host and his family were really welcoming and made our stay extremely comfortable. Will definitely recommend everyone to give this a shot, you won’t regret it.
The Homestay is centrally located and is within walkable distance to some of the attractions. The hospitality is on an another level, I have seen such great hospitality and care, they take care of you like family. Very nice people with a great passion. I loved the stay and the family.
Pradeep and his family are really very humble and helpful. Homestay really feels like home. Awesome experience.

Pradeep and family was an awesome host. My family (all ladies) travelled and they felt very safe and comfortable at Varam. The rooms were clean and comfortable and host ensured every one felt at home. Homely breakfast also was served which was the icing in the cake. Highly recommending for any families visiting Madikeri/Coorg. Location was also amazing

Good Location, Good Hospitality by Host. completely homely Feeling.
May be little on higher side for budget Travellers
We felt truly elated during our stay at Varam Homestay. From the moment we arrived, Mr. Pradeep and Mrs Usha treated us like family, not just guests. The home is tidy, spacious, and has a warm, welcoming vibe—with a small kitchen that added to the homely comfort. The location is perfect, close to Omkareshwara Temple, and the serene mornings and quiet evenings were simply therapeutic. What made our stay special was the personal touch in everything—from their kind words to the tasty homemade breakfast. It’s rare to find such genuine hospitality these days. We are leaving with grateful hearts and a promise to return.
Good location and comfortable stay
Very neat and clean. Worth for money
We had a wonderful experience at this homestay! The place was clean, cozy, and well-maintained. The host was incredibly welcoming and went out of their way to ensure a comfortable stay. We especially loved the home-cooked breakfast.
Perfect central location near the main Shri Omkareshwara Swamy Temple. Really nice well equiped apartment with balcony, big comfy bed and very clean; even providing filtered water and toiletries. Pradeep and Usha could not have been more welcoming and helpful. Such a lovely family. Usha made us fabulous breakfast every morning and great coffee whenever you needed it. Pradeep even gave me a lift on the back of his scooter to the bike rental shop! He was also happy to recommend local restaurants and places of interest to visit.
Nothing.
The property is in a quiet location but still very central and well equipped . The water purifier was extremely useful. The absolute plus, as mentioned in other reviews , are Pradeep and Usha. Nobody could be more welcoming and helpful. They were very helpful in their knowledge of places to visit, local transport and restaurants and arranging an onward car and tuk Turks for us. It just took the hassle out of everything.
Nothing
We had an amazing stay at this homestay! The place was spotlessly clean and incredibly well-maintained. The location was perfect - just a short walk to Raja Seat and the nearby town. The homestay was equipped with brand new appliances, which made our stay even more comfortable. The owners have clearly put a lot of thought into ensuring their guests have a wonderful experience. We would highly recommend this homestay to anyone looking for a clean, convenient, and comfortable place to stay. We can't wait to come back! Thanks to the wonderful hosts for making our stay so special!
Very warm, nice and helpful hosts. The entire family takes care of every guest like family member. Very clean apartment. Yummy regional breakfast. Superb location
Excellent service by the host (Pradeep) . Very good breakfast everyday on our preferred time
Hospitality, cleanliness very excellent. Nice stay.
Vaaram Homstay gave me experiences beyond my expectations.Pradeep bro and his wife behavior is very loving and also his mother.Delicious breakfast, nice quiet place which gives mind happiness.
Pradeep & family provided excellent hospitality. They are provide top touch services for guest. If you planning for family trip then Varam Homestay is perfect choice
Initially, I thought it was 2BHK home. Actually, it’s 1BHK home. They fixed extra bed at Kitchen. We expected Tamil Nadu Sambar . However, it’s different. Our kids not experienced. Rest all fine. Nobody match their kind hospitality
Both Pradeep and his wife are excellent hosts. Served us excellent coffee and breakfast. On our request she also arranged a tasty vegetarian dinner for us. The apartment is spotlessly clean and so was the linen. Place is comfortable for 3 adults. Located centrally in Madikeri - walking distance to attractions in town and short drives from other attractions. Pradeep helped us to plan our 3 days in a productive way.

All is perfect
Exceptional homestay, attention to the details is top notch. The place is better than looks on the pictures, would book it again for a longer stay without a doubt.
It was located quite close to all amenities. Both Pradeep and Usha were extremely hospitable. They took care of all requests with a smile and very helpful. The breakfast was quite sumptuous and wholesome.
Very friendly and very cooperative host,

The property offered excellent accessibility and comfort, creating a welcoming and homely atmosphere.
Very hospitable hosts. Very kind. Room was adequate for 3 people. Very neat and clean.
The apartment was very clean and neat. The people were nice and friendly. I liked everything. There was parking space. Worth the money. I would prefer talking with them through WhatsApp as they can plan ahead for a comfortable stay.
It was very close to Omkareshwara temple its one of the most famous temple in coorg. You will get to see the exceptional temple view from here and same to the home as beautiful as the temple, owners are very cared and support our needs and helped us through…
No more negative its well worth than anything thats 100%
Accommodation was very clean and food was very tasty.
Rooms and the overall accommodation could have been a little bigger.
Hosts are very nice and really hospitable. Breakfasts were very good. Ideal for a couple and kids.
Bathroom is inside a bedroom so it there are more than 2 individuals, person sleeping in the single bed may find it difficult to go to washroom at odd hours / midnight.
Feel like home stay .. varam home stay gives us route map is very useful to enjoy all places

A very homely host and clean appartments. Breakfast was very tasty too. Walking distance from Raja seat, yet a very peaceful neighborhood. Host family is very helpful and friendly. Recommended for upto 3 people.
The stay was comfortable and the hosts were kind and helpful.
Our stay at the Homestay was excellent. Location- Right next to the Omkareshwar temple, very close to bus stop and main town. All good restuarants nearby. It's ten on ten Accomodation- very cozy and comfortable. As picture perfect as shown. Cleaning was done on regular basis Hospitality- This is beyond description. Although this was our first visit, we felt like going back to our families. Their hospitality made us feel like we were at home. They kept all our requests, answered all our calls. They arranged cab and jeep for our sightseeing too. Pradeep Sir, Usha ma'am, aunty and Shimak I learnt the meaning of kindness, humanity and friendliness all over again from you all. You will always be in my memory. Your example inspired us to strive to embody those qualities in our own life. Food- This deserves a special appreciation too. We had included breakfast which was delectable. I have been living in Bangalore for the last 7 years, I had never tasted that great South Indian cuisine. Homely, rich flavors, full of love. The food beats the best heritage restuarants too. On our request they also prepared dinner for us one evening. Overall, it was an excellent stay way beyond our expectations. Pradeep Sir and family thank you for giving us this memory and taking care of all our requests. You are wonderful people, we wish you all the best !

From the moment we arrived, the hosts at this homestay welcomed us with genuine warmth and hospitality, going above and beyond to make our stay memorable. They provided us complimentary tea and snacks upon our arrival. Throughout our stay, the hosts were not only friendly but also incredibly supportive, offering assistance with any inquiries or needs we had. The location of the homestay added to its charm, nestled in a serene view with Anjaneya temple. Overall, our experience at this homestay exceeded expectations, thanks to the wonderful hosts. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone in search of a welcoming and peaceful retreat away from the usual tourist crowds.
Pradeep and his wife were very good hosts. They guided us well and took good care of us. Breakfast was excellent on both days. Location of the property is very good. My family enjoyed the stay and would recommend it to friends visiting coorg.

Clean, neat, nice apartment. We (family of 3) enjoyed it so much. It was great to stay at this homestay. Exceptional hospitality by the owner and his family, delicious breakfast as per our request at requested time. Great location in Madikeri. Suggestions from the host on tourist attractions helped us plan our stay.
Nothing to unlike
I stayed with my mother, wife and 2 kids. Location at center, easly accessable, quite place, rooms well arranged, comfortable and clean. Host is very nice, makes sure we are comfortable and provided details of places to visit which was very helpful.. Balcony, comfortable beddings, well cleaned bathrooms, fridge.. Breakfast was so tasty.. Thanks..
Nothing.. Rooms were small, but host arranged everything well..
After a long journey we found this property relaxing spacious. Host Pradeep and his wife provided proper food. I can’t forget Puttu, Idly Sambar😊
It was a home away home
Liked everything
We had a wonderful time at the Varam Homestay. The family was unbelievably nice and helpful, the place is comfortable, central and good equipped.
Everything was perfect :)
It’s a cosy apartment at first floor with 1 bedroom, living room and another single bed in the kitchen. Very well maintained and exceptionally clean. The host/owners Pradeep ji and his wife Usha who live on the ground floor are very generous and always ready to help you. Pradeep is so proactive that he will share information that you didn’t even know you needed. Usha made lovely breakfast. They both have loads of tips and knowledge about the area. Although we had a car, Pradeep suggested and arranged a Jeep for us to Mandalpatti which was a good value/decision. There are lots of good restaurants at a walking distance and Omkareshwara temple is right next door. All in all it was a lovely stay. Highly recommend to fellow travellers.
Simply superb
