Simple rooms in a quiet setting on what used to be a coconut estate, with meals served in the home of Jamuna, daughter of the founders of Gitanjali Homestay. Meals were among our best in southern India, prepared by local women. Breakfasts included coffee from the owners' coffee estate in Coorg, homemade jams and ranged from porridge to scrambled eggs,...

The Gitanjali property is a few kilometres from town making it extremely quiet and peaceful. The rooms are tasteful and the sitting area outside is very pleasant. In contrast to another review, we loved that there is no TV or Wifi, it is the perfect place to switch off and read your book! The breakfast and dinner were a real... More

I live in the US since 23+ years, but by birth, I am a Mysorean & my family own a farm close to Mysore. I wanted a night in the city with the kids, & found all the good hotel rooms taken. My brother who lives in Bangalore, found this & I have to say, nothing could have suited us... More

We had a warm wellcome by Yamuna and her parents. What a special place with nice rooms with veranda, a beautifull garden and great food (Coorg). Don't miss the Palace and Devaraja market. More

We were nearing the end of 3 weeks travel around southern India. Gitanjali Homestay was welcoming, peaceful and very comfortable. Our hosts were charming, the staff quietly unobtrusive and efficient, the food delicious and distinctive (Coorg recipes). Our rooms were spotless and unfussy. The bathroom worked - no plumbing problems and a hot and strong shower. Nice to know the... More
