Oh my word. Stay here. You will never want to leave. I stayed for 2 and a half weeks and still did not want to move on. Take a garden view room (we named ours The David Attenborough Suite) and watch the black monkeys, the macaques (beware) the giant squirrels ad well as the very many tropical birds. 
Our rooms were clean and comfortable with plenty of hot water.
Suresh, the owner and Sonia, his colleague helped us with booking trips, arranging transport and suggestions for activities. Suresh is a fabulous and committed host. We felt like family.
Green View is in one of the best locations in Kumily. The road is quiet and the garden large. The property adjoins the spice gardens ('the most expensive hotel in Kerala'). The tiger reserve bus stops and the reserve itself are within easy walking distance (we saw a tiger).  The town is closer and there are two very good local restuarants footsteps away. Breakfast at Green View is taken in the garden at a time to suit you. You will be offered the same breakfast as is eaten by the family, unless you want something more Western. I can recommend it all.
I will return and I will stay for longer next time - I hope to see you there.

Stay here - you won't want to leave

We were only in Kumily / Thekkady for 24 hours and after our experience at Green View we wished we could have stayed longer. We booked 3 rooms on the top floor which were spotless and comfortable. The balconies overlooked a lush garden and trees - a lovely place to sit and relax. Outside the rooms was a communal seating area with hammocks which were well used by us!

Suresh is a fantastic host - the best we’ve experienced so far during our 4 week trip in India. He made lots of recommendations to help us make the most of our limited time and in 24 hrs we packed in a 3 hour jungle trek, a cookery class and Ayurvedic massages! We also visited an organic spice merchant to buy spices to take home. 

Highly recommended place to stay and great value for money.

An absolute gem!

Great welcome. 🤗
Excellent information for food, banks ATM's. Good internet connection.            A pleasant fresh room, confortable bed and shower.
The most amazing 😍 surprise was the balcony with a view on a luxuriant garden. We finally even had dinner prepared by Suresh, a wonderful indian meal with delicious spices.
Suresh is a treasure, he can find in no time an answer to all our questions thanks to his fabulous network of real friends. Suresh is a hard worker, reliable and his tremendous experience changes your travel into an unforgettable trip.
And what a smile ! 😊

The best homestay.

As everyone has said previously this is a fabulous place to stay. It’s on a quiet road, great sized room and a sunny evening balcony to rest on after a long day trekking. Sanesh looked after us whilst suresh was away and couldn’t do enough for us. A warm welcome greeted us as did a hot cup of tea. Great hearty breakfast to set us up for the day. It’s a must stay place in Kumily. 
Thankyou so much for great memories. You know it’s a great place when you don’t want to leave.

A must stay in kumily

My favourite accommodation in Kerala! We found this guest house in our Lonely Planet guide,  the moment we arrived we  were welcomed with open arms, offered plenty of advice on the best activities and excursions to take part in at the nature reserve. After which we were shown our room by Suresh who soon after spotted a troop of monkeys in the trees! We had a perfect view of them from our balcony! The balcony’s are gorgeous and the room was spacious comfy and clean. In the morning we went down for breakfast and Suresh showed us how to make Puttu, using the fresh coconuts from his garden. Suresh is happy to help was all our questions and help us book activities like cooking classes. The location of this home stay is also perfect, it’s walking distance from the eco tourism centre. Overall highly recommend this accommodation to any travellers thinking of coming to Thekady.

Our favourite home stay

Lovely place with welcoming hosts, comfy room with spacious balcony and wildlife on your doorstep. Very handy for walking into Kumily main streets (around the corner) and the place where the bus leaves for Thekkady boating trip in Periyar national reserve is also just a 10 minute walk away. The breakfast is yummy with a choice of Indian or continental and there are plenty of restaurants nearby. We had a lovely two night stay here.

Perfect spot!

Suresh is the best host ever!! He has great connexions everywhere so that he can help you to plan great activities or even the next step of your trip. His hotel is also one of the only places where u Can get puttu in the morning 😋😋😋.
Rooms are very clean and comfy. I  recommend!!!

Great place with great host

Very friendly and helpful hosts. They gave us lots of information about things to do in the Periyar reserve plus great places to eat. The room was very comfortable and the position and setting perfect.

3 nights at Green View

One of the best hosts I have met so far. Suresh helped us with a very pleasant room, balcony giving onto his wide and green garden, for a very affordable rate. He was recommended to us by our guest house in Munnar and we owe them a lot! Suresh takes great care of his property, and of his guests. He helped us with booking a tour in the Periyar Tiger Reserve (he knows the staff because he used to be a guide in the reserve himself!) with very valuable advice, he took us in his car to Elephant Junction so we can bathe with elephants in their natural element, he showed us the best local restaurants in Thekkady, he helped us arrange our way to Alleppey and our stay and activities over there.

Overall a remarkable experience thanks to Suresh!

Excellent stay, remarkable host

Nice setting and in town but lots of steps and hilly so if you can't get up them go somewhere else. No safes in rooms. No beer in very average restaurant. Staff very helpful. Rooms very clean. WiFi fine. Breakfast is an OK buffet. Interesting figus aucampii by the pool the fruits of which are nice.  Wouldn't go back.
