We really want to thank Mr. Martin for his hospitality.We landed in Kalpetta on Christmas day morning without any booking anywhere. We contacted him and luckily he had a room vacant. Not only this, he immediately came to the bus stop to receive us and take us to the homestay. Although he told that initially we could stay only for a day, fortunately we got extension and were able to stay for all the 3 days we spent at Wayanad because the other party who had booked our rooms had cancelled their trip at the last moment.

For sightseeing too he guided us on the mode of transport, amounts, distances, etc.

Everything about the homestay is fine.Rooms are clean and spacious. There is parking pace for cars in front of the rooms. The rooms are exactly as in the photos posted by some other members. We are posting some other photos of us outside the room on the verandah..

Of the 3 days we stayed, we had breakfast only one day as on the other two days we left very early. The breakfast (Puttu with Kadalai) was too good.

The location is also ideal. A little away from the main road but walking distance from both the bus stands and conveniences. If you visit Wayanad, do not miss going to Walnut Cakes shop..

The best part of our stay was that Mr. Martin did not take a single rupee as advance, etc and we paid the entire amount when we checked out on the 3rd day. And he dropped us in his car at the bus stop. This kind of trust and hospitality is very rare these days...

I would definitely recommend this place to visitors..

we have total 14 travelers, our stay during our visit for Five Days was Really Good. Mr. Martin & whole his family was very Co.Operative including of Serving Food & Giving all necessary information of Wayanad, Rooms are very airy and spacious, they cleaned the same every day.
Even we are not from Southern side of India. Then also they all were tried their best to make food at our taste.

We strongly recommended to visit Mr. Martin's Home stay for comfortable stay.

We had a decent stay at the Green Mount Cottages. Mr. Lopez and his family are hospitable and the rooms are neat and clean. However, we could have done with a better water heater in the rooms.
Green Mount Cottages are located in the heart of Kalpetta and are easily accessible to the picturesque tea gardens, the breathtaking Soojipura water falls and the fascinating Edekal caves. Overall we recommend the Green Mount Cottages.

We arrived at the homestay after a really long drive and were dead tired. Though the room was neat and spacious but the poor hospitality struck us. When asked for a cup of tea, we were denied because nobody was at home to cook. When we enquired if dinner could be delivered to us(only breakfast is part of the Rs.1500 charge), we were asked to venture out and eat outside. We were also misdirected about the visit to a waterfall which is impossible in monsoon. Though the location of the homestay is right in the middle of the market but the approach is not good. The hosts are reasonably friendly, however, on that particular day they were not at their best behavior.
