The location was quiet good...not very crowded and also very peaceful. The room was very big but i think unnecessary. Electricity was going off every now and then.. the view outside the room wasn't very good...the most pathetic thing in the hotel was the food..because nothing else was nearby ate in the restaurant in the hotel. Had the dinner there... More

If you wish to stay at a homestay in Munnar, then it has to be Ranger Woods. This was my first stay at a homestay and the experience was out of the world. Ranger Woods is true in the woods, admist the pictorial tea estates. During our Kerala trip we stayed in around 3 homestays, this was the best. Ranger... More

I was supposed to stay at another hotel in Munnar, but my drive got lost and we got into Munnar so late they gave my room away. They suggested the Ranger Woods so that is where I ended up. Ranger Woods is about 8 or 9 km from the actual town of Munnar. Most hotels/resorts are located outside of Munnar.... More

Ranger woods is a perfect homestay, located in the Pothamedu (the coolest point). You get a feeling of stay at home away from home. The peoples are friendly and helpful. Dining is homely, dont expect much as like in restaurents. The deluxe room was pretty large. you gt a nice view outside the room, facing the deep valley and tea... More

The location is out of town, which is a plus in Munar... Room was OK, nothing special, but the location near the tea plantation is excellent. Sunil and his mum will take care of you. We enjoyed the food there, which is cooked for you after order (so give it a time). Good value for money.

This hotel was recommended to us by another hotel because it was full. It does not appear in Lonely Planet/ Rough Guide and is a great find. Positives: -fantastic secluded location a little way from Munnar town (a good thing as Munnar is a little "basic") and in an excellent place to explore the local area - great views, walks... More

Found this place after doing some searching online for a good home stay. we were not disappointed at all! Although getting to the place is quite tough (typical hill station/tea plantation routes), the home stay was located at a beautiful place. The place had just two big rooms on the first floor and a big balcony for kids to play... More

We were planning to stay at the Ranger Woods homestay and had contacted Sunil for the same. Unfortunately there were only 2 rooms available instead of 3 that we needed. However Sunil helped us to find other accomodation in Munnar. In addition to this he also arranged for a very good driver and arranged for excellent accomodation at Kumily and... More

Let me be honest while reviewing this place; too far from the town, but that's welcome as vacationing requires that + no connectivity including TV was an add on benefit for us as our kids did not become couch potatoes. It way rainy on all the 3 days we were there but we enjoyed the monsoon. Terrible food, with minimalistic... More
