We felt right at home here. The family are so friendly, the breakfast is great and the boat trip was a highlight for us. The room was clean and comfortable. Apart from the activities they can arrange for you (we did the canoe tour and kayaking) they are also super helpful when it comes to recommending things to do in the area. Highly recommend.

The perfect getaway in the Munroe island backwaters. The family is just amazing and the kayak and canoe trip were incredible. The food was really good as well. We highly recommend to stay with Vijeesh and his family.

Afsal and Pradul are charming and attentive hosts - they really looked after us and made our stay so happy. The coffee and breakfast options are delicious and made to order with love. The room is spacious and clean and the roof terrace is a beautiful space to hang out or do yoga with Sophie. I can’t recommend it more highly. We booked for 3 nights and stayed for 6!

We received a warm welcome on arrival from the Bella Homestay team. Throughout our two days there, we felt right at home! We loved the local breakfast, which was fresh and of excellent quality. If you're lucky, you'll see an Indian mongoose in the garden if you get up early. Many thanks to the caretaker-cook for his friendly advice.

This homestay is clean and comfortable with an uplifting and quirky vibe. Johnson is a lovely host who clearly really cares about the environment. He was kind enough to drive us to a restaurant he recommended and offered to pick us up due to the heavy rain! The price is very reasonable and the other staff members are nice. We felt very looked after.

Thomas and his wife were great hosts that care a lot about their homestay and their guest. We also really enjoyed the beautiful view from the balcony, the cleanliness of the room and the homemade breakfasts. Thomas also organized some trips and a massage for us, so we were able to experience a lot. Thank you!

The Homestay is in a quiet area, near the Cliff. The room is clean and spacious. The staff is welcoming and kind. Roshan is a great host, always available to help you. Nearby is the other Homestay S4, where they provide food and have a beautiful relaxing area at the roof...with ping pong, yogamats etc, where you can freely use it

Gerard and his wife were great hosts. We arrived early in the morning, around 5am, and they were able to provide us with check in at that time, which was great. The homestay is very clean with comfortable beds.

Our stay at this charming home stay was truly fantastic! The family who owns it exuded warmth and hospitality throughout our visit. The rates were reasonable, and the meals were not only delicious but also meticulously prepared. The serene surroundings added to the overall tranquility, making it the perfect retreat to unwind. Without a doubt, we will eagerly return if we find ourselves in the area again. A heartfelt thank you to Coconut Palms Village Homestay for an unforgettable experience."

The most lovely family run this beautiful homestay. Ours hosts could not have been more helpful: they booked a kathakali show for us, organised a taxi to Munnar, helped to change money. The facilities are typical of a home stay but maintained to a very high standard. It is very clean and comfortable. Consistent hot water. Good WiFi. In a safe area. We would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a simple, great value option.

A very clean and well-kept homestay. In a quiet and secluded tea field location but close to Munnar town. Great mountain views from the balcony. Excellent internet connection. A very welcoming host family.
