What a joy - Shukoor and his family make this a real homestay experience - he welcomes you into his family and is an incredibly warm, open, caring and generous host. The rooms are spacious and clean, the view peaceful the food terrific but Shukoor is why you want to stay. We cooked with his wife, played with his children... More

I never find the Home stay and its owner like Sukkoru during my journey. it was amazing experience to stay with this. I would like to suggest all to get chance to stay with this homestay if you are in Thekkady.

This home stay truly deserves the great reviews it gets, I picked it because of the reviews and was so glad that I did. Shookoor is a warm and generous host, he opens both his house as well as his home. The room was large and comfortable, the food was great, the kids were good companionship to my daughter .... More

It's not only that the rooms are spacious and clean. The view over the valley and the mountains in the background are beautiful, and so are the papaya trees and all the birds that the garden attracts. But what really makes this place so special is Shukkoor and his family. He is a natural host, he has it in his... More

I cannot sing Shukkoor and his family's praises enough. The rooms were spotless, the service was above and beyond and price was unbelievable value.

He is a great cook and a superb host and his family are delightful. The location... More

I said: "One more week", and after that... total: little less than a month in the best Quality-price guest house in Kumily. Shookur and Nesiya served the... More

Words cannot describe the feelings that this home stays gave me and my partner. We have stayed in many home stays which you could have called hostels but this is a genuine home stay where you are the guest of the owner and you interact with Sukkoor and his beautiful family. On arriving we were shown to our room which... More
