Pros: We had a fabulous stay at Nivaasana. The house is truly beautiful, tastefully decorated, and set in a residential area easily walkable from/to the main commercial area. There are just 3 rooms, so it's very calm. Dillu the caretaker really did take very good care of us; the breakfast was delightful each day. Rachana provided good suggestions for restaurants and places to experience in and around Kalpetta as well as the contacts for a driver (Shamier from Memories Tours) who provided us with the very best experience of Wayanad. Thanks to the Nivaasana team for the wonderful stay!

Pros: Very pretty property. Everything is well thought through, modern and very clean. The bed are super comfy and there is even quite some outside space to enjoy.

Peaceful, beautiful cozy home stay. Would love to visit again.
Pros: The place, host, the location everything was excellent, the décor awesome. Special mention to the host who is very warm affectionate person makes the guests feel like her family. She guided us and helped us whenever we had any queries with regards to places to visit, where to eat etc. She is superb. special mention to the caretaker Dellu :) ever so helping and smiling always!!
Cons: There is nothing to be disliked about the stay. It is a cozy place run by some warm welcoming people, tucked away from the noise of the city. would rather say some hiccups we faced was abrupt disconnection of water in the bathroom which was immediately taken care and breakfast time the spread was not ample enough for us, as we used to go to eat after 9 am by the time other guests have had food to their heart's content and we had to adjust with whatever was left! and the caretaker was kind enough to make breakfast for us.

perfect homestay, good service
Pros: It had all the positive aspects of a Homestay. Every day our breakfast was different and superb, made especially for us as we had troubles with the stomac. They gave us very good advice on that issue. And their Nepali cook Dallu prepared for us delicious light meals. It was nice sitting in their stylish central patio and WiFi connection was really good. Rachana arranged also a very good taxi service. This was not only to pick us up from Mysore, but also during our stay they gave us the best personalized service. And a massage was arranged at the Ayurvedic clinic. We couldn’t have a better service. We can definitely advice this Homestay! Forgot to mention: Rachana her English was impeccable!

Pros: A cosy place with a relaxed atmosphere. It is near the city but is also away from all the hustle and bustle. The staff is exceptionally friendly and accommodating, ensuring a warm and welcoming experience. The room was neat and the European-model bathroom facilities made it all the more attractive.
Cons: It was the height of the tourist season, so the rooms were expensive. We paid 2800+ taxes for our room. The food price is also high so we bought the dinner from outside. Breakfast was included in the package and it could have been better. It was good but not the best I had. However, you will get a taste of traditional Kerala cuisine.

A good stay. Town within walking distance.
Pros: Dill, the fellow who took care of all business and communications and cooked was exceptional. He was the host. I was sick for 24 hours and he helped me a lot. Such a sweet young man! I never saw the owner. Dill took care of everything. Dill was a gem!
Cons: All the signage about all the rules. Pillows were big and hard. Dirt and grime around electrical buttons. No toilet paper provided.
