It was a great sized room very modern with AC. The location is great, handy for everything you need. The guys were really chilled out and we even got to use the room after we'd checked out to have a shower etc. WIFI etc. so all mod-cons tick tick.

We arrived after a traumatic 24 hour rail journey to be greeted by beaming smiles. We were asked if we needed anything and asked for a pot of tea, which was duly delivered within 5 minutes. We had a ground floor room, which smelled divine and was spotlessly clean. The staff obviously take great pride in the place. The breakfast... More

We were 2 adults and two small children. The rooms were nicely furnished and clean, big bathroom and screens on the windows (great). There was plenty of space for the children and we were very well located. We stayed in the rooms downstairs - I think that upstairs they may be a little better, more light. Our Tuk Tuk driver...

While the accomodations were not the most beautiful , the views were clotheslines, and hot water was intermittent, we enjoyed our stay very much. The graciousness of the staff, more than made up for its inadequacies. Sivan and Lejo, made us feel like welcome guests and were especially accomodating. The South Indian breakfasts were wonderful and not to be missed.... More

The people were so friendly, kind and helpful, they had no issues with giving us an extrabed, late check-out, getting us tickets for kerala martial arts or kathakali, in short: they helped us troughout. Also the Tuk-Tuk driver they advised us was friendly and showed us around for just 50 INR/per hour/per pax...Definately worth the stay, wld always come back!

We had orignially booked Elim homestay and we were informed on arrival that the following day we would be moved the their sister property, Daffodil homestay. As mentioned by the previous writer, there was no sign of the homestay family mentioned on the website. We were also met by Joseph, and he was clearly running the show. The other staff... More

This place is unique because the staff was so welcoming and friendly that we felt a bit like arriving home. Rooms were nice, clean and calm. The breakfast is always with fresh fruits and juices. The big wooden Keralan balcony is just perfect for a cold beer in the evenings! The trips organised by the house were all fine, value... More

Looking at the website, one doesn't really see that next to the grounds of Daffodil, there are open sewers. The actual hotel grounds and building are quite well kept and the high walls sort of keep the outside firmly out. If you notice on their website, one of the photos is clearly photoshopped (the one with the clear skies on... More
