I stay in homestay around the world and have had good, bad and just ok experiences. There’s really nothing bad to say about the Kodaikanal homestay in my experience. I was checked in warmly and efficiently. Any other enquiries with reception were handled promptly and courteously. All staff I dealt with were very helpful but the gentleman who seemed to be in charge of reception was particularly helpful - thank you sir.I used the hotel’s driver service to get back to Madurai airport which was also of high quality. It ticked all the boxes I’d expect of a decent hotel in any part of the world.

No negatives

We had a reunion function with our college mates after 20 years. It was a mind blowing event with lots of fun takeaway memories. The event was neatly organised with the help of the staffs. The food was fantastic with a neat menu both veg and non veg higenically served. The ambience was very nice and peaceful. I personally really enjoyed the whole day.

Most comfortable and peaceful place to stay.

Everything was perfect.

All good

Nothing

The view was amazing from the room. They did arrange the camp fire, provided the speakers also, It was a very experience at Kodaikanal home stay. It was clean and hot water was available, they will also provide food if we inform before.

Hot water

It's very far from the city. There is no single shop near the property, even if you want to get a packet of biscuits, we need to travel at least 20 minutes. There is only a single female caretaker who doesn't know any customer service. No security in the property. In the property description they had mentioned that there is 24x7 security but there is no security at all. The rooms were very average. In one of the bathrooms the water closet was not functioning and I complained to the caretaker but she didn't respond, then I had to contact the owner of the property via WhatsApp. The owner doesn't pick the calls he/she can be connected to via WhatsApp messages only. There was a nauseating smell from one of the bathrooms. There are no cupboards only open shelves. One of the window's glass panes was broken (please see the pic attached).

Food is good

Daily clean not there

Nice location and atmosphere

All over experience was good except television system
