Periyar Villa Home Stay - Thekkady

Super nette Besitzer die sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit sind. Die Zimmer sind gross und Komfortabel. Einen sehr schönen Balkon gegen Hinten. Sehr grosszügiges Frühstück.

Nichts was einen negativen Einfluss auf meinen Aufenthalt hatte.

A wonderful humble and charming host - Rehna Beevi. Check in was smooth. Warm family. Breakfast was awesome and tasty!

הכל היה מושלם

Where to begin? The homestay itself is immaculate – and the room we stayed in was spacious and very relaxing. A balcony overlooks the forest edge, perfect for relaxing after a day exploring this fascinating corner of Kerala.as for the hosts, they are just wonderful - nothing is too much bother, and we genuinely felt welcomed into their home. An especial shout must also go out for the home-made breakfast, delicious!

Très belle maison très propre, la famille qui nous a accueilli est très serviable. Le petit dej était très bon. Rien à redire c’était parfait

Very good breakfast Extremely nice hosts! Beautiful house overall

Die Unterkunft wird von einer Familie geführt. Die Gastgeberin ist unglaublich nett und hat uns viele Wünsche erfüllt. Wir haben uns richtig zuhause gefühlt. Die Zimmer sind riesig und sehr sauber.

Es hat uns alles gefallen!

A very clean room in a quiet place to a garden. The house is wonderful.. The owners were very friendly and helpful. They also organized a visit to the park for us. Very tasty and varied breakfast.

Nothing

Very clean and well maintained home stay , Feel safe on stay

Nothing to say

breakfast was authentic and rich

Big rooms, great breakfast, good variety. With balcony and view into the garden

Ok value for money, could be a bit cheaper, since it is not very central.

Wonderful friendly hosts and a very spacious room in a quiet area. The breakfast was delicious and freshly prepared.

The location is not great if you don't have transportation. There are no real options for lunch and dinner nearby. The hosts will call a tuk-tuk or taxi but we had trouble finding transportation back.

La villa est très cossue et très confortable.

Une chambre magnifique avec un accueil très chaleureux Nous avons eu un repas et un petit déjeuner au top 👌🏼 tout était parfait

I had a wonderful stay at Periyar Villa Homestay. The room was large airy and well done up with a sofa, electric kettle and necessary items like tea bag sugar etc so that i could make a hot drink anytime i wanted. It had a nice balcony and also a swing. The stay was surrounded by a lot of greenery. And when ever I sat on the swing the view and environment was soothing and had a calming effect. The room and also washroom was very very clean and tidy. Like we say spotless clean. They went out of the way to make my stay memorable. The breakfast was awesome. So many items were served including fruits and juice. The highlight was visit to their huge spice farm. I got to see a variety of herbs and spices. I was also able to pick up spices from their store. I was spoilt for choice. The variety was huge and absolutely fresh and genuine. They even helped me by couriering all that I bought. I also got good discount I would give my stay 10/10. Will definitely return again but for a longer stay. The hostess and host are beautiful and good abd genuine human beings who will go to any length to make one stay comfortable. I recommend every one visiting Thekady to stay at Mr.Taj and Rehana' homestay. I returned with the satisfaction of having made good friends forever. Thank you Rehana and Mr.Taj.

None. Even if I used a microscope I would not be able to find anything that I did not like.

Sehr stilvoll eingerichtete Villa mit ganz reizenden Gastgebern, die uns immer behilflich waren. Die Touren waren allesamt ganz großartig organisiert. Ganz besonders hervorheben möchte ich die sehr gute Gastfreundschaft und das äußerst schmackhafte Essen. Wir kommen definitiv wider zu euch❤️

Hospitality

No Dinner

We had a wonderful stay at Periyar Villa. The rooms were clean and spacious, the location was peaceful, and the hosts were very kind and helpful. Highly recommended for families visiting Thekkady!

The stay at Periyar Villa was comfortable and the rooms were clean. But when we had to vacate suddenly, they didn’t reduce any amount, which felt disappointing. Except for that, everything else was fine

The hosts were very lovely and welcoming. The food was delicious authentic Kerala breakfast. We had little kids, for whom we needed to prepare food and Rehna and her family were very accommodating. The rooms were huge with a balcony attached in every room.

We were made to feel so welcomed by our hosts who took great care of us, providing delicious home cooked breakfast rich in fruit, and helping to organise activities during our stay including taxis and discounts on local activities. The complimentary visit to the spice garden was very interesting and there was an opportunity to purchase locally grown organic spices from the shop. The rooms were very reasonably priced, were immaculate with a good ensuite bathroom and felt opulent being very large in size and having direct access to a balcony overlooking the garden abundant in birdlife. We loved our visit to the Elephant junction which is nearby, enjoyed a guided walk and boat trip in the tiger reserve, a trip to see a stunning martial arts display and Kathakali dance demo, a jeep safari to spot wild elephants and a delicious meal at Cloud Periyar glamping site.

Nothing not to like!

This as the most spacious, well-designed room we have ever had in Asia. The fact that there was a roomy alcove for the bed was a great idea. Mention must be made of the thought that had gone into the lighting design, as we were able to read comfortably at night - very unusual.

We were really fortunate enough that we selected this Home Stay after searching at least ten such home stays. The room was larger than we expected. Complimentary Breakfast was delicious and profuse in amount. We had so many options. The credit goes to the Dignified Lady, who is instrumental in making all these happen. Her energy and her smiling face were deeply appreciated by my wife. I just want to say that if you travel to Thekkady, you can very well select this without any hesitation. We convey our best wishes to them. The visit to Spice Garden ( their property) was really great.

We felt that there should be another fan in the drawing room part of this huge room.

We had a fantastic stay with Rehna's family. REHNA is so kind and nice, (like all Indians(: ) intelligent, helped with everything, speaks very good English. The family house is large and luxorious, located in a little country road, sorrounded by beautiful trees. Very convinient, close to everything. The room has full privacy, it's spacious, clean, has a great balcony. The breakfast is excellent, and dinner also, Rehna is a great cook. The best way to travel is to stay with the Indian amazing families. We came there from a 5 stars hotel- the homestay is uncomperable!

This is my second time and it was once again the best stay in Thekkady. Host was very kind and professional. Breakfast was exquisite 😋. We went with the family and they all enjoyed the stay and the breakfast. Very spacious and quiet.

It was indeed a Home away from Home. The Host is exceptionally good. Very very comfortable stay worth the amount we pay. We stayed in Woodpecker room which had two balconies. Complimentary breakfast is very nice. Infact we were treated as one among them. We would love to come back again.. Thank you Rehana Madam..

Absolutely Nothing

The room was spacious and very clean, with comfortable mattress and pillows. The home cooked breakfast was delicious: the best breakfast we had during our trip in Kerala. The whole family was very kind, helpful and accommodating. We loved staying at Periyar Villa Home Stay! I can definitely recommend it!

We stayed at this beautiful homestay and The rooms are lavish , spacious and luxury. Thanks to Rghna for all your kindness, making a delicious breakfast and being very friendly.

This place is run by family and they are very helpful and accommodating. Most of the things are managed by the husband and wife who owns the place. Rooms are spacious and then in morning you will get the home cook breakfast. The owner also help us in getting the booking for nature trails in forest. Addition to this they have place to park your cars as well

Location is quite near to city centre. Room size was very good. breakfast they provided was way beyond expectations from a home stay. It's grand bungalow property, nicely done interiors and furniture, doesn't feel like you are staying with a Muslim family, well educated family. They provided a servant quarter for our driver to sleep. but no meals for him. Other hotels we stayed, everywhere our driver got a meal in staff kitchen. The lady ' Rehna' was courteous to get our luggage in but since suitcases were heavy, I transferred out luggage myself. We didn't book the boating at Periyar national park online, Host Mr. Thajudeen said it's the Diwali season so we will not get the tickets. since he works with local tourism, he said he would manage to get it but it would cost us 625 Rs instead of 255Rs. per head. But for my dad it was unreasonable so we didn't book it through him. We anyways got the tickets at the ticket counter for 255Rs.

The host's complete family ( they have a joint family) is staying at ground floor, and first floor has 4 big rooms which they have turned in to home stay - but the stairway to first floor is from the main house, so it feels awkward entering the stay. we had taken 2 rooms, but the queen bed was not enough for a 10 year old kid. at around 11:30 in the night, we needed couple of bedsheets and an extra bed, When we checked there was a single mattress outside of our room and there was a cupboard which had towels and bedsheets, so we served ourselves like we do in other homestay, rather than waking up the family ( as they sleep early in mountains). Morning when we were heading for a tour the house Lady ( 'Rehna' was her name) said that she was so not happy that we took the extra mattress and bedsheets without her permission. She said she was disappointed that we took it ourselves. I had to explain her that we did that thinking as a goodwill and not waking up family in the middle of the night - as there are no intercoms - no room service number to call. I further explained her that it's not her personal stuff that we had touched, and I will pay if she wants to charge for the extra mattress. She billed us 1800Rs for 2nights for the extra mattress in the final bill. which I think was way too unreasonable. First of all the price of the homestay is not less than any 3 star hotel, I paid 18.5K for 2 rooms / 2 night. comes to 4.5K/room/night. and then you charge for an extra mattress and that also you disrespect the guests that you didn't like their action. I mean common - is that what is called a homestay then chuck it,,I have had stayed in home stays before but not like this one. No more home stays in life! Lesson learnt. Other improvements required. - hot water cattle I got in my room had some weird bugs inside it - I had to replace it. - beware of fire ants in the balcony. - Toilet commode seat hight is very high.

Lovely spacious room, with wonderful garden, views of tropical plants. It was exceptionally clean, and a lovely touch was a clean dry towel every day. Our hosts were very welcoming and helped us organise the activities we wished to do. Our breakfast were delicious, and a wide variety of tempting things were provided. They also recommended several good dinner, restaurant ideas, each a success. café, and Sandra  palace restaurant. All in all a wonderful few days and I think also our best night sleep in Kerala – we would happily visit again and recommend

great upscale ultra-clean accomodation just outside Kumily with a luxurious garden, ultra-comfortable bed and great hosts. we booked two days, the one before and the one after our 3-days Tiger trail, but ended staying here a whole week, and everyday breakfast was different and super! totally recommended, a bit more expensive than others but worth every penny!

Breakfast was phenomenal. Best authentic home made Kerala breakfast i ever had. We travelled to Varkala twice, Thekkady thrice, Trivandrum, Munnar, Kochi, but the best stay with food is this.

Everything was great. 0 Negatives.
