After two years me and my friends planned again to go on a trip. Decided destination was Chikamagalur. One my friend booked Good Earth Homestay. After quiet a research on tripadvisor I was expecting it to be good to go. We reached in the Good Earth Homestay in Morining 8am. While getting down from our ride itself I felt verymuch joyful. The people managing the Homestay welcomed in, Served us the best breakfast. We had plan to roam around after confirming the lunch we went out. The owner personally showed interest about the lunch timings and the menu. Awesome lunch. Quality food everyone delighted. We had plans for evening party and Campfire and it is well arranged by the Homestay People. I personally suggest that this Homestay is the best one and Value for money. People are here so much generous. Place is well maintained.

We were a group of 9 and stayed in 3 bedroom bungalow. Rooms were neat and tidy. Sleep quality on the beds is not great but that would not matter if you are a group of guys just out to have fun. The housekeeper is excellent and would take care of everything for you. However, if you need anything specific, please inform in advance. They also have a bonfire in the evening and it is a pleasant experience just sitting around it for a while. There are no other facilities to write about like games, sports etc but this place is just a weekend getaway and very reasonably priced as well. If you are traveling in a group then you would like it else you are likely to just get bored

After reading so many positive reviews on this site , without a second thought i booked this homestay, the bungalow one. I was shocked when i visited there with my family couple of days back, the first impression from outside was very great , once when we entered the accommodation we were shocked to see that the place was not cleaned and beds were not ready. Anyway, upon request they started getting Bed sheets & pillow covers which were very unclean with stains and torn covers probably by cockroaches, thank god i was carrying the bed sheets. The interiors like the furnitures and other things were very old not maintained properly.
I was reading reviews about good hospitality, but absolutely the caretaker especially lady was very moody, for everything we needed to remind her, after that she used serve as though we are asking her a favour. These caretakers are cooks,sweepers , maintenance staff and Estate workers. They do everything . The Owner sits at 15 Kms away from the location and tries to make these workers do the Job, but there needs to be personal attention whether the people are really delivering the required hospitality. If you are hygenic person then visit there kitchen area , just open the sugar and other related boxes you will never eat / drink there. The serving bowls and containers are so old that some of them have broken and untidy, the plates/spoons are not wiped dry . The Food was just so bad that it was very spicy and salty the first day but on complaining the spicy thing was reduced and the salty issue remained the same. In one of the rooms Rat was present we tried to send it out ourselves as it was night and there was no one in the bungalow to look up to but were unsuccessful . later in the morning we found out there was a rat burrow in the bathroom , which was open , no care taken by owners to close it.
The homestay concept is that we will be having an opportunity to stay in a place close to nature, in a private property , served hygienically prepared local delicacy but only the nature was great but kitchen dept really made our holiday horrible. I don't know about Non Veg food as we were Vegetarians.
Iam back now but iam surprised how come there are so many positive reviews and what i experienced first hand was totally opposite.
The pros were the location is very serene,calm , drive is good to the property with motorable roads, have a generator & UPS backup. They also have a dormitory accomodation which is bit new one.
This was my personal experience, i believe when you are out on a holiday , hospitality and food also counts very much if you need have a memorable trip else like, after visiting this place i have been wondering whether actually i gone on a vacation.
To sum up not worth for the money spent and distance travelled.

We had stayed for 3 days in Good Earth home stay during pongal holidays in Jan. Right from the time of booking, Ms. Madhu was very courteous and answered all our queries patiently. Mr. Annaiah, the care taker at the venue took good care of us. Home made food was served for all three meals. We really had a good and relaxing time. They also guided us to the nearby forest through a road less taken, which was very adventurous.. Definitely recommend for a family or friends outing..

I have visited Good Earth Homestay twice,hence one can make out how lonely the place is.. The homestay is beautiful, its very neat & clean. There are 2 big bedrooms & 1 dormitory. The bathroom is very clean & hot water was available round the clock.Food is awesome & plenty. Hospitality is too good, the best part which we liked the most was there was a lady who is available all the time & also before dinner she will change the bed sheet, tuck in the blanket & make the bed which I am sure we do not find in any 5star hotel also. The ambiance was awesome. The homestay is located in the heart of nature where you van have a total hassle free time, no network works except BSNL hence if one wants a break from our daily routine, I will suggest this is the best place to send a day.

we were 13 colleagues visiting chikkamagaluru over the long weekend (24th to 26th Sep) and stayed here for 2 nights and 2 days, this is an amazing homestay amidst coffee plantations with courteous staff and humble owners...
This homestay is located exactly 18 kms from chikkamagaluru on mallandur / muthodi road.
The food (BF, Lunch and Dinner) was excellent and satisfied everyone's taste buds, the staff were Good enough to prepare snacks also upon request on both days of our stay
hot water is available 24/7 which is essential at this place due to low temperatures
The location is just perfect for late morning walks and evening talks !
A special mention to Mr. and Mrs. Sudesh for creating this paradise for nature enthusiasts like us !!

We were 6 girls and had no clue about any homestay in chikmagalur. One of my friend found this homestay in trip advisor and we called up. The owner was very sweet and assured us we will be having a great trip. Breakfast was complimentary. Food was really good, simple and best.
They have dormitory, which is a room having some 6 beds and a bathroom. They also have a bungalow. Bungalow and dormitory were clean and well maintained. There are swings and small playing area for kids. The homestay is surrounded by coffee plantations. Morning its a wonderful sight with fog surrounding you and mountains far away. Plus point is this is away from the city but near to almost all places that you would wanna visit.
The caretaker was sweet and helpful. Always had a smile and made sure we ate a lot.
The owner even gave us a cab company number. The driver had everything pre planned and we had covered most of the things in one and half days we spent there. There were complications in our trip, just the day we reached there was news that a tiger was on lose and had killed a person. But the cab driver was updated about all the proceedings in the hunt for tiger so it was easy for us to roam around without being scared about anything.
My suggestions Take a local driver cause they would know which all places are worth going. Don't miss the caves at top of mullayanagiri, ask the locals for route. Don't miss the local shooting point and try to reach there before 8am. You won't regret going there. Don't forget to ask for coffee powder (homestay has the best) Finally don't miss going to this resort.
Me and my friends had an awesome time in chikmagalur and the homestay. We would definitely visit again.
