    There was a great roof top terrace to our room but this was only furnished by a concrete bench - a little more outdoor furniture would have made this a fantastic space to enjoy.

    We loved the layout of this hotel with its charming garden courtyard. The plum cake and tea was very welcome.

    It advertised having a bath (one of the reasons we booked) but there are no baths in the resort so that was really disappointing, and they must remove bath from their description. This is the only reason it isn't 10/10 across the board.

    The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, even at busy breakfast times. The breakfasts were really delicious consisting of freshly made pancakes, toast, banana and a choice of eggs with tea or coffee and juice. The rooms are very generous and spotlessly clean. Perfect proximity to the tiger reserve.

    It’s a boutique property and the size of the property is very small so there ain’t much you can do at the property. There’s a cafe but you should be considering other hotels for your lunch and dinner .

    Cleanliness is top notch . Very helpful staff

    No curtains on some high up windows in the room means hard not to wake early.

    Highly recommend this small hotel. Lovely spacious rooms in a great location on edge of town, close to wildlife park and variety of restaurants. Staff were super helpful- had booked us various safari activities within half an hour of arriving - friendly and efficient. Would stay again.

    The floor in our room stained our socks/shoes. Would be easier for international guests to use dispensing soap/shampoo instead of blocks. Luggage storage wasn't secure - stored next to reception desk in the open.

    Very friendly, attentive and helpful staff - assisted with all the questions we had. Great location - close to shops and departure point for the Periyar Tiger Reserve buses. Coffee house on site served good food for breakfast (included in what we booked) and dinner (paid separately).

    Communication with the cafe staff - eg. requesting specific food item or adjusting a dish didn’t quite work out. I think the staff need a bit more confidence to say when they don’t understand a request. Also the room layouts vary quite a lot. The hotel should separate them on booking.com so it’s clear what room is being booked.

    Clean rooms with high ceilings and good bathrooms. Good ventilation. A cafe with a selection of international and Indian food. Easy parking. Great location for the national park on a quiet road off the busy town centre.

    We had to borrow a futon mattress from another room as ours didn't have one for our child - which meant we ere a little cramped.

    Stunning location and beautiful design. Spacious room for couples. Staff very accommodating of our late arrival.

    Some breakfast options for early activities in Perinyar would be nice (Ex. packed breakfast)

    Rooms are big, spacious and very clean. The design is very original. Staff is helpful and the location is perfect, close to Periyar park and the main restaurants. Coffee shop in the same property.

    There is no restaurant at the property. What they have is a cafe and hence the options are pretty limited. However you have other restaurants nearby. There was no air conditioner in the rooms but was manageable as the weather was kind of cool.

    Centrally located with very easy access to nearby attractions. Rooms were spacious and clean. Staffs were very friendly and overall service was very good.

    Huge clean rooms with cool architecture

    Unfortunately, no monkeys entered the property during our stay. When booking the accommodation, based on the map, I thought and hoped that the property was outside of town, isolated in the forest. However, the property is in town, albeit on the edge of town, in a relatively quiet area (though restaurants, shops, the park booking office are only meters away). I was hoping for a more isolated spot.

    The rooms are very big (28m2) with high ceilings (two stories high) and interior staircases in the rooms leading to private balconies. The architecture of the entire property is cool, with a fieldstone façade. The property is designed around an internal garden / courtyard which helps to block the sound of the road. Directly across the road is a large bamboo grove on the edge of the national park.

    the monkeys came around the terraces every evening which meant you couldn’t sit outside.

    it was in a good location both for the town and the Peryiar tiger reserve.

    Value for money was excellent so there was nothing I didn’t like about the property.

    it was small but lovely. fantastic value for money. in terms of position it was perfect, 5 mins walk from the Periyar Reserve ticket office, 10 mins walk from the nature walk/bamboo raft and the same from the centre of Kumily. The staff were excellent and couldn’t do enough.
