Gitanjali Homestay

A welcoming family run Homestay set in lush gardens a short ride from the centre of Mysore

Pros: We loved the setting in beautiful gardens a short ride to the centre of Mysore. The owner and her extended family were very friendly and made you feel very welcome. We also enjoyed the breakfasts.

An exceptional stay in a paradise garden.

Pros: Superb cooked Indian veg breakfasts, with omelettes to order. Coffee was a mystery at first - our first encounter with 'decoction' coffee, but once we got the hang of it (small liquid coffee in the bottom of the cup then fill up with hot water!) it was fine. Breakfast in a lovely roofed open-air room in the most divine gardens. Facilities there included a fridge/freezer and microwave for personal food and drink. Wines and beer available to be recorded in an honesty book. The owners were pleased to recommend good restaurants (which with one exception, we loved), plus a home Cook who, with enough notice, made and delivered evening meals. We really rate this last service after days busy sightseeing! We must not overlook Yamuna, our wonderful host: she not only supervises everything, but is a most excellent concierge when it comes to arranging outings and onward travel.

Cons: Nothing.

Overall it was a great stay, with some inputs which if they work on will be a delight

Pros: Overall it was good, staffs were good, Yamuna hosted us quite well. Property was clean

Cons: With the price point it just ok, nothing extraordinary. It will be great if they do 1. Instead of two single bed joined can convert them to king sized. 2. Provide toiletries like brush. 3. Disposable slippers. 4. Security guards at night at the main gate

Nourishing and relaxing, good for the soul

Pros: So peaceful. Beautiful bungalow houses and gardens. Yamuna and her family are so welcoming. We wished we could stay longer. Her parents coming for a chat at breakfast was so nourishing. Lovely breakfast. You must come here to relax and rejuvenate.

Cons: Nothing, it was perfect.

Yamuna and her staff are truly wonderful. They made sure we had a lovely stay at their stunning venue.

Pros: How beautiful the grounds are. The staff were amazing and went above and beyond to make sure we were looked after.

No hesitation to recommend to anyone - wonderful

Pros: Wonderful place. Lovely family. Quiet location. Home made jams etc. Beautiful garden full of flowers and birds. All very good indeed.

Pros: This is a very well maintained homestay. Appreciate the scenic beauty and the hospitality of the staff. This was the first trip with our toddler and we had a peaceful and comfortable stay. Special thanks to Yamuna and Leena!

Pros: Beautiful homestay in a fabulous location, within easy tuk tuk ride into Mysore. Very welcoming family. Tasty breakfasts. Spotless comfortable rooms.
