Das Personal war sehr freundlich. Es war ruhig, das Zimmer einfach, aber sauber. Heisses Wasser zum Duschen wurde gebracht, da der Boiler wegen Stromausfalls nicht aufgeheizt werden konnte.
Leider gab es die ganze Nacht über einen Stromausfall. Es gab zwar einen Wasserkocher, doch fehlte das Teezubehör. Die Zahlung konnte weder mit QR scan noch Kreditkarte getätigt werden, sondern nur bar.
The property was beautiful with mountains around it. The food and staff were friendly and welcoming.
The staff, the room, the view! Everything is exceptional. Special mention to staff in the reception. He was so good and really happy to help us with needs. I will definitely visit again.
TBH, Nothing. Everything was good
The staff were very kind. The view was very good. The food was the best. Overall a great property.
Views
No wifi
Excellent
All was good
Food and overall hospitality was super and exceeded the expectations.
The property is one of the best that you can find in Kotagiri. Absolutely stunning view.
Breakfast menu
The location; the staff particularly Umar; spacious room and adequate parking facility. Whatever was not working in the room was immediately attended to.
Though the breakfast was basic. good and homely, as also lunch/dinner, regular restaurant is needed.
Nice place
Only the view from the room.
The facilities are not up to the mark. The rooms were new but not well equipped. No toiletries in the washroom. Insects all over the property. And the food was horribly made, no spices or salt. No variety for breakfast. The service was decent. Not recommended to anyone. Also the price they charged was more than the price on booking.com.
Location. Staff behavior.
There is room for improvement in terms of breakfast. Can add variety. Supplies should be replenished daily.
Breakfast was like home made. Excellent location
North Indian dishes like curry was not up to the mark
Wonderful location, it's a piece of isolated and absolutely blissful nature 3-4 km off the main road towards the town market, so best of both worlds when you are in nature and still close to any needed supplies. The food is simple homestay food and cooked and served with absolute care. The staff are wonderfully kind, simple, caring and good-natured. Nearby areas are great for nature walks. Simple and clean rooms with plenty of natural view of the outside and a nice balcony for fresh air all the time. Anyone loving simplicity and is on a vacation aiming to do nothing and simply be with nature, will love this place.
Nothing to not like.
View and Hospitality.
The room was big, good view
The room had a very chemical smell caused by cleaning products

Beautiful view with the rolling hills. Friendly helpful staff. Gotta mention Umar. Clean, tidy and spacious room with a cool balcony view.
Nothing much. Good could have been a little better. But it was still pretty alright.
Very good property. Nice view from balcony. Extraordinary hoist. Good food. Trecking was a amazing experience. Will come back soon.
Nothing to dislike.
Well maintained and the view from the property is excellent. All the staff and host were very good which made our stay very comfortable. Food is served at our required time and taste is good.

Food given at night No options,only 2dises we have to choose. Mrg C-breakfast is waste.

Wifi could be better

Clean & large rooms, friendly staff, amazing location by the tea estate, value for money
Food could have been better
The location of valley view inn is exceptional, set within Tea gardens, it offers peace, serenity and a fantastic view of the estates. The staff are amazing people who bend over backwards in ensuring that you enjoy your stay, umar bhai and santosh were like busy bees running up and down to fetch the many delicious food items prepared by Praveen and selvi served to your room hot and smelling heavenly. Praveen and selvi, power couple, were creating memorable dishes to tantalize your taste buds while having light fun with the guests. All of this, quietly being managed by the inn's mascot, Lucky. Closely moving from room to room checking in on guests, taking some cuddles as payment for a job well done. The manager Alok is a warm hearted person providing us with a lot of good stories about travel in tamilnadu and making good hearty conversation. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back again
The stay was amazing they had a very big space with balcony the staffs took care of us well and the food was extraordinary felt like a home i definitely recommend everyone to choose this place if your looking for a peaceful stay. One thing I would request if you could place a water dispenser in the lobby area it would be usefull if someone needs water at midnight.

The view from the balcony was awesome and the room was fantastic. Spacious room with more than necessary furnishings. The location was easily accessible. The staff was friendly and polite. Dinner was good.
Flies and few insects were there in the room which made us uncomfortable. They didn't have an electric bat or insect repellent. The complementary breakfast was not good.
The place is very beautiful 10 out of 10.The homestay is very beautiful with amazing view from balcony. Highly appreciated and recommended.Room, food, service and staffs all are very nice.
Nothing to dislike.
One of the best location and property I have come across recently. Homestay has the best view and location completely surrounded by tea estate and mountain. And food was very tasty home vibe. Also the staff and hoist are very polite. Must visit for anyone planning to Kotagiri who want to blend in nature.
Nothing find.
Absolute gem in Kotagiri, amazing place for family vacation with delicious food and breakfast. Properly is at rightly mentioned very beautiful at hill side. Comfort stay, rooms are spacious and well maintained and hygienic. Morning hill top view just at 1.5 km is amazing and breath taking.
Nothing to dislike.
View, location and the staff ☺️
Little more amenities needed inside
Food is not good and need to improve a lot. Breakfast is also not good very cheap and quality less.
Location staff service are excellent
This was first and short time stay in 'Valley View Inn'. I didn't expect such a good place and people in this property. As the name of the guest house indicates, it was an amazing stay for us which is located in a beautiful and peaceful place. Breakfast & dinner both was very delicious. Nice and spacious rooms with free car parking area. First charms is the reception. Host Alok and his staff were very kind and responsible. Will never forget the moment we spent there.

Food is excellant.
Parking facilities has to be improved. They are keeing the gate locked. Upon calling them they are opening it.
Our stay at Valley View Inn in Kothagiri was nothing short of perfect. Nestled in a serene location with stunning views, it’s the kind of place that immediately makes you slow down, breathe deeply, and just enjoy the moment. Traveling with our dog Togo, we’re always a bit cautious — but this was hands down the most genuinely pet-friendly place we’ve ever stayed at. There were no extra charges for pets, and they even offered to prepare food specially for Togo, which was incredibly thoughtful and kind. He felt right at home — and so did I. The location is unbeatable, with peaceful surroundings and easy access to nature. One of the highlights of our trip was a visit to a hidden waterfall near Sundati — a short and scenic trek that led to a truly breathtaking spot. An unforgettable experience! A huge thank you to Alok, our wonderful host, whose warm and thoughtful communication made everything smooth and welcoming. And a special shoutout to Umar and Santosh, the amazing caretakers who were so attentive, caring, and friendly — their hospitality truly made this stay feel like we were visiting close friends or family. If you’re looking for a peaceful, nature-filled escape with warm people and true pet-friendly comfort, Valley View Inn is a hidden gem. We’re already looking forward to coming back — and Togo is too!

Fantastic location. The staff were very decent and non intrusive. The cook makes whatever you preorder. It's tasty home cooked kind of food.
Beautiful property with warm staff they go the extra mile to take care of you . Definitely recommend it
Nothing that o didn’t like
A beautiful new homestay perched on be side of a hill overlooking tea plantations. The views were to die for and I loved the balcony and fresh air. Alok could not have been more helpful with amazing communication in advance of my arrival and going above and beyond during my short stay joining me on treks and arranging taxis as needed. His staff were also wonderful - friendly, helpful and always so smiley - it really was a perfect couple of days.
Nothing!
It was a wonderful experience with homestay " Valley View In" ! Clean, comfortable, and host as well as staff Santosh were incredibly welcoming. We loved the delicious home-cooked meals and felt right at home. And awesome view from the room balcony was a special feeling.
Everything was Ok.
Valley view Inn homestay has been a remarkably comfortable and pleasant staying experience. We had never heard of the place much but we were pleasantly surprised and happy with our choice. Room was very cosy with ascetic interiors, a very hospitable staff, good food and service. View from balcony was very beautiful. It was really a memorable experience for us.
Nothing as such which we couldn't adjust.
Excellent property, a nice homestay. Beautiful location, very nice view from balcony. Very tasty homely cooked food. Staff are very polite and their service is quick and on time. No difficulty to reach the property as it's on approach road.

I would give 10 stars if I could, the most wonderful stay in such a beautiful resort. The owner was so friendly and welcoming, room was spacious and spotless, the view was incredible. The food was also very delicious. I will recommend to anyone.
The location and the approach road to this place were great. Great place to reset away from all the hustle and bustle. They offered home cooked food which was very delicious. Room was very spacious, bed was super comfy and after long time had a silent restful sleep. Valley view from the balcony is great.
Nothing
Food wasn't that great but the place, staffs and location was very good.
Food could have been better
This property located in between the tea estate and have nice view point. We experienced good climate with sun and mist every where. The property was constructed in such a way that the other side of the property completely have a valley view from our room balcony. Morning we noticed few heard of Bison grazing in the tea estate. We really enjoyed the food prepared by the resort kitchen staff. All the staffs of the property were kind enough to listen to our asks and did a great job.
Nothing to dislike.
The view and location that I liked the most.
Review: Valley View Inn, Kotagiri We recently stayed at Valley View Inn, Kotagiri for one night, and it was a memorable experience. The staff were decent and very responsive, making sure our stay was comfortable and hassle-free. The dinner was a highlight of our visit. We ordered chapathi and pepper chicken semi-gravy, and it was absolutely delicious. The chicken was perfectly cooked, and the meal was served hot and on time, right in our room. The rooms were neat and clean, and the washrooms were hygienic, ensuring a pleasant stay. The view from the balcony was stunning, offering a peaceful and scenic view of the valley, perfect for relaxation. One thing we truly miss from our stay is Jaggu, a naughty little puppy who roams around the property. His playful antics added a special charm to our experience and made it even more delightful. Overall, Valley View Inn is a wonderful place for a short and peaceful getaway in Kotagiri. The combination of great service, good food, cleanliness, and the company of Jaggu makes it highly recommended!
Nothing. Everything is good.

We liked every little bit of our stay, the warm welcome. The wonderful neat and clean and spacious rooms, the location , the view especially from balcony, the walks we could make from our accommodation and of course the wonderful hospitality and food was served. We are actually on our way back to this place......
Nothing, fully satisfied with the service
Beautiful place, excellent ambience, cool and friendly staff. Everything right from the booking to the warm welcome to check out was smooth and seamless. Valley View Inn's food was so homely hygienic and tasty.... Kudos each and every one in Valley View Inn's crew, host to kitchen in charge, service member... you all made our stay " a memorable one " .....
Didn't find any thing!!
The staff , the spacious rooms and overall host Alok and his hosting ability are gracious and welcoming. The overall welcoming nature, "the feeling of Oneness" with the guests enhanced the experience. We also explored the nearby natural hills in an early morning trek and were flabbergasted by the morning sunrise over the valleys through the tea estates. The food offered was very tasty and very very homly and flavorful and easy to enjoy.

I had the pleasure of experiencing this delightful place nestled in the embrace of nature. It caters to everyone, regardless of whether you are visiting with family, friends or as a couple. The activities offered here is tuely impressive , from relishing fresh home-cooked meals to unwinding charming, very spacious rooms and campfire and staying connected WiFi. The views from balcony are nothing short of breathtaking. If you are in search of tranquility and a break from hustle and bustle of life, this place is an excellent choice. What truly stands out is the host's remarkable hospitality. I highly recommend giving this place a try for an unforgettable experience. Thank you Valley View Inn team for your great hospitality.
Nothing is to dislike.
The property's location is truly surreal. It is pet-friendly, and the room is spacious and clean. The staff and host are exceptionally friendly and helpful. They serve homely food & happy to curate dishes on special request. There are small hikes around the property, and if you're interested in knowing about the local village culture, you can connect with the host Alok, who will be happy to arrange a cultural walking tour.
Property is located in the middle of green nature with extremely soothing views. To top it off, the staff, food and our host Alok made the experience memorable Looking forward to definitely visit again
It was just amazing. The room itself, the view from the balcony, and the parking area, the surrounding and offcourse the wonderful host ( Alok ) and staff which provides you with everything you need. The communication was great! It's my 4th visit to Kotagiri and first to this property and I have to say, this is one of the best property ( very clean room, inviting, much space, nice bed, hot shower) which ever I had. Especially for this price. Thank you very much Alok & your team for this joyful stay.
