They were available to assist with transport, arrange activities, and help with logistical support for traveling. The food was delicious, and the family so kind. The perfect combination of family warmth and attentive customer service and hospitality. Highly recommended, I would love to return there one day. Thank you!!!

A terrace with garden views is offered in all units.

Jobin, Binsi and their family were truly our dream hosts. They built a modern guest house behind their home and it’s clean, cozy, and filled with plants. The balconies and deck are ideal for hanging out on. There was a hanging chair swing that was perfect for reading and relaxing. We also did a cooking class in their kitchen and had so much fun learning how to make a variety of dishes, including chapati and dal. Jobin speaks perfect English which made the stay really smooth. Definitely try their breakfast—the dosa is one of the best we’ve had. Their house is just a 5 minute walk into town and we loved wandering and shopping in the spice and handicraft shops. Can’t recommend highly enough!

    I loooved my stay at Konark homestay. Rani and her husband are great hosts and trust me you will want to book this place for the views alone! The sun sets beautifully over the nature reserve which is right on the boarder of the back of the homestay. Also I think they improved their wifi because I had no issues, I was also able to upload a very large video file within 2 hours. If I come back to Kumily I will book here again. Water in shower gets hot and the bed is comfortable as well.

    The home stay was a good place to stay in. The factors which made me give spice green homestay 5star rating is first and the most important hosts Mr. Mohanan is quite a humble person he is too helpful. He and his wife serve the best food in quite a reasonable rate. The second is rooms the rooms are spacious, comfortable and CLEAN. I would say that you must plan your stay at Spice Green homestay.
