Abdul understands hospitality like one one else in India! Our entire stay at his place was a fantastic experience. The family made us very welcome and we enjoyed delicious meals cooked by Abduls wife Nasia. We didn't have enough time but if you ask they can show you how to cook some local dishes. At the time we were there... More

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

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. Shukkoor was a warm and welcoming host, a knowledgable guide and great cook - he showed me how to cook the best curry I have ever tasted! Whilst I stayed at Panthalams, Shukkoor took us to... More

We spent 2 weeks in Kerala and Shukkoor's homestay was by far the most memorable. From the off Shukkoor will welcome you in with open arms and give you a real taste of Kumily, a taste that you will treasure for a long while. He is a great cook and a superb host and his family are delightful. The location... More

How can I explain my new experience in Panthalams Home Stay? I came for just a few days, after a while I told them let's say two weeks, after I move. After that... 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

We had read the reviews and decided this was a good choice for our 2 days in Kumily. We weren't disappointed. This was a wonderful place to stay for a visit to Periyar wildlife reserve. Shukoor and his family are most welcoming and helpful. He will organise your stay and book visits for you . You can eat with other... More
