“Beautiful memories!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2012

It's been over a month since we left Anil, Jeeva and their beautiful family and home. Our busy lives back in the UK have got in the way of writing the glowing review we wanted to. Royal Mist was the highlight of our trip to India in December - as soon as we arrived we were made to feel so incredibly welcome and loved our sunset tea plantation walk with Anil and his lovely daughter. We stayed over Christmas and it was wonderful. On Christmas Eve Anil, Jeeva and their children brought us cake and wine which they shared with us and the other (really lovely) guests. We all had a memorable carol singing experience with some local people! And we haven't even mentioned the food yet! Mmmmmmmm! We miss it so much! We had a cooking lesson with Jeeva on Christmas day and cooked her recipe for friends in the UK for New Year's Eve - it was delicious but definitely not as tasty as Jeeva's! Boxing Day was the highlight for us - the most amazing Boxing Day walk with our new friends we made of the other guests along the mountain ridge in search of elephants with Vijayan. This was followed by the incredible experience of joining in with the local Hindu Temple festival procession as the sun set. We both felt so sad to leave, but we are so happy to have experienced all of this. Thank you Anil and Jeeva! We hope you are all well!

PS. Also the most comfortable bed we slept in in Kerala

“Perfect mountain retreat. Great place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012 via mobile

Just left royal mist with my girlfriend and all I can say is we were very lucky to stay here. We needed a tranquil place after travelling so much and this was one of the most relaxing places we stayed.
Anil and Jeeva are really hospitable , the food was home cooked and qualiy. Real keralan food.
The rooms are spotless and have lovely views . The grounds are lovely and really I can't say enough about how lovely the family are. They give you alot of tips and help. Only three rooms so book way ahead. Home stays are the way forward. TOP CLASS homestay.

“Wonderful Homestay, Helpful and a great destination for your activitiesyour”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

You look for wonderful homestay, wonderful people and a clean and nice accommodation, than you find it. Great place to stay nearby Munnar! Everthing you might want to see can be reached by taxi easily and on the other hand Anil und Jeeva are always pleased to help you. We had a wonderful time...

“Great hosts and perfect location!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

person found this review helpful

During our Kerala trip we chose spontaneously to stay at this place because of the excellent recommendations. Phone contact with Anil was already very welcoming and once we arrived there, he and his wife Jeeva took perfect care of us. They have 3 small rooms, beautifully designed and equipped with bathrooms of high standard. Delicious food (breakfast and water is included in the room rate) is served on the terrace with magnificent views to the mountain area. The location outside of the busy city ofof Munnar (10km) is a gem of tranquility and a good starting point for trekking and other activities. Also a bus station is right in front.
Anil and Jeeva made sure from the very beginning until the end that we felt "at home" and helped us to organize activities according to our needs. We sincerely regret that we couldn't spend more time here and will surely return once we come back to Munnar.

“Gorgeous location, and terrific hosts.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012

Anil and Jeeva were so warm, friendly, and helpful. Our room was very comfortable and clean, letting out onto an open porch where we took our meals, which were delicious and prepared fresh, covering various north and south Indian cuisine - way better than anywhere we ate in Munnar town. Royal Mist is located well outside the town of Munnar, but this is actually a perk, and town can be easily reached by bus. Anil was a great source of advice on local destinations, and helped arrange a guided ridge walk that took us through lovely scenery, including tea and spice plantations. He also helped us plan the next leg of our journey by bus, making things so much easier, and checking to see that we arrived safely. We particularly enjoyed meeting other travelers and couples staying at the homestay. We can't say enough good things about our stay there, and wish we could have spent longer at Royal Mist.
