"A fantastic welcome and an especially authentic Indian experience. Jay and Priya are utterly charming, and their home is a wonderful reliquary for traditional Keralan culture. The location is incredibly convenient for exploring Kerala; the rooms are pretty and very well-adapted for the climate; the food delicious; and the company excellent! Two thumbs up!" - CP Turnbull
