Panthalams Homestay

Quiet location, away from the busy center. Just a 5-7min walk from bus terminal and tourist office. Large and very clean room with hot(!) shower. Rooftop with hammocks. Owner is very helpful, even dropped me off at tourist info and helped me to safe som bucks on hiking trip.

Mr Shukkoor made our stay very seamless and comfortable. Even with peak season , he was able to get us tickets for national park as well as for the cultural shows . He guided us on recommendations and served us amazing traditional Kerala breakfast.

The family who run the place is lovely and very helpful. The location is beautiful and very peaceful. The room was extremely clean, neat and comfortable.

Shukkoor was an excellent trustworthy host who helped us organize our activities. He was allways available to help us. The room was beautiful and hot shower was nice. Walking distance to town and Periyar National Park.

Nothing.

This home stay exceeded my expectations. I was a bit skeptical as it was our first time in thekkady, but we were welcomed with open arms. The hosts were genuinely so lovely and kind. The breakfast they provided was delicious, especially the authentic South Indian dishes. They went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. I'd definitely recommend!

Good sized room, spacious and had a private little space to enjoy the views. Bed huge and very comfortable. It was a fan only room, which was fine and didn't feel a need for AC (even though it was hot outside) it seemed to cool down a little at night so fine for sleeping. Breakfast simple (omelette & bread - especially loved the Masala Tea) and the owner was very kind to bring us a cup early, which I was very grateful for and it was a lovely surprise so thank you! Walking distance to the main town and restaurants (if you are okay with walking up a few little hills!)

Nothing really - just be mindful if you want AC our room didn't have it. Not sure about other rooms so best to ask in advance.

I was stayed here for 2 nights along with my family. The owner Mr. Shukoor was an excellent helpful man, very prompt and informative. He booked tickets for Kalari and Kathakali, Green walk etc. to help us to enjoy flawless shows. When we required a driver to Vahamon (we planned to visit some remote locations on enroute), he tried to get a driver, but failed. without any hesitations he himself came along with us as driver cum guide. That trip also unforgettable. Thanks Mr. Sukoor, you are a good and kind hearted man, I will definitely come again to stay there to enjoy the left out activities and places.

Nothing, everything was perfect and budget friendly.

Shukkoor and his family are lovely - they were so kind to us and went above and beyond when my partner was ill. They also arranged transport from Cochi, and helped me get to my safari meeting point. The location is stunning (beautiful sunsets over the mountains), it’s very quiet at night, and the rooms are spacious, clean and have everything you need. We are sad to leave and we highly recommend staying here. Thanks again to a very nice, kind and generous family for having us to stay.
