Very good value for money. The room and sheets were clean. Room had normal shower with hot water. Window and balcony faced the forest, so we really enjoyed sounds of birds. Homestay is a bit further from the main street, so it was quiet. They also have a restaurant downstairs. Host speaks English and is very helpful.

They gave us many helpful suggestions to visit the places in Thekkady. The morning tea and coffee provided by Mr. Dexter were very helpful and a good booster for us to start the day.

    The owner is very helpful, he gave me vital information, helped me to plan my sightseeing in Thekkady and also booked the Kathakali and Kalaripattu shows for me. Moreover, he also told me about KSRTC bus through Gavi to Pathanamthitta (it was a very picturesque ride). The room was clean and bed was quite comfortable as well. The location of homestay is near to bus stand as well as Periyar Park bookings (around 1-1.5 km). In all, it is definitely value for money. I would definitely recommend this homestay for your stay in Thekkady.
