Green View

It was a wonderful experience to stay at Green view homestay! The owner was so helpful and kind and the view from your balcony is lush, calming and relaxing. Rooms were clean and bathrooms too. You get more than you except for the affordable price!

Oh my word. Stay here. You will never want to leave. I stayed for 2 and a half weeks and still did not want to move on. Take a garden view room (we named ours The David Attenborough Suite) and watch the black monkeys, the macaques (beware) the giant squirrels ad well as the very many tropical birds. Our rooms were clean and comfortable with plenty of hot water. Suresh, the owner and Sonia, his colleague helped us with booking trips, arranging transport and suggestions for activities. Suresh is a fabulous and committed host. We felt like family. Green View is in one of the best locations in Kumily. The road is quiet and the garden large. The property adjoins the spice gardens ('the most expensive hotel in Kerala'). The tiger reserve bus stops and the reserve itself are within easy walking distance (we saw a tiger). The town is closer and there are two very good local restuarants footsteps away. Breakfast at Green View is taken in the garden at a time to suit you. You will be offered the same breakfast as is eaten by the family, unless you want something more Western. I can recommend it all. I will return and I will stay for longer next time - I hope to see you there.
