Green View

Excellent . Very kind personal, clean rooms and amazona nature. No mosquitos. No early morning noises: one of the best sleep of india. Good food and good price. I really recommend it if you are with your family but also if you are alone. Nice trekking Nearby.

My wife and I stayed here for 2 nights having moved from another homestay. This place is great. The room was a good size with a balcony looking on to a garden and the jungle beyond. We had a great time watching the monkeys. Suresh, the host is a very nice ***. Very helpful and gives excellent advice on where to go and what to do and how to book things. Just free advice. He will arrange a taxi or tuk tuk as well and the drivers who come are also very good and honest. I highly recommend this place. We loved it.

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.
