• Anneke (10/5): Een geweldig verblijf op een bijzonder mooie locatie. - Vanam Holidays ligt op een geweldige locatie. Het uitzicht is overweldigend. Zelden zo’n mooi uitzicht vanuit een homestay gezien. Het personeel is erg vriendelijk en de maaltijden zijn heerlijk. Echt een aanrader. Niets
• Claudine (8/5): Séjour avec vue sur les plantations époustouflante - Hébergement dans un lieu avec une vue magnifique et un personnel à l'écoute. Nous n’avons pas eu d’eau chaude sur une nuit (il faisait 10C) Restaurant très froid sans fenêtre

• Karan (10/5): Best place to stay around ooty - This place was amazing. The location is great, the staff are warm and very helpful. The rooms are well maintained and hygenic. The view from the balcony is one of the best i had experienced for this price. They have good food too, the food is home style but very tasty. I will definitely choose this property over others if i am travelling back to ooty.
• Jaison (10/5): - Balcony view was superb. Staff also good.
• Jan0591 (9/5): Aardig personeel op een goede locatie - Het uitzicht, de kamer op de hoogste verdieping had een beter panorama-uitzicht. Het eten was grandioos lekker. Het was een hele klim om met de koffers op de kamer te komen via het trappenhuis. Verwarming of een andere warmtebron zou fijn zijn geweest.
• rakesh (10/5): -
• NoorulAmeen111083 (8/5): - good
• Nishanth (8/5): - Room was clean and neat. Very comfortable and affordable place. View from the room was also nice.
• Shiyamalan (10/5): A Peaceful Getaway with Heartfelt Hospitality - Vaanam Holidays in Ooty was a serene and memorable stay nestled in the hills. Surrounded by lush greenery and misty views, it felt like living inside a painting. The mornings were peaceful, the air crisp, and the entire setting perfect for relaxation or reflection. The rooms were clean, cozy, and thoughtfully set up for comfort. A special mention must go to their in-house cook, who prepared absolutely delicious meals. Whether it was a simple breakfast or a hearty dinner, every dish had a touch of homely warmth and local flavor that made dining a joy. The staff were courteous, helpful, and genuinely committed to ensuring guests had a pleasant stay. Whether you're a couple, family, or solo traveller, Vaanam Holidays is an excellent choice if you're looking to slow down and soak in the charm of Ooty. Highly recommended for those who value comfort, good food, and genuine hospitality in a beautiful natural setting. One notable thing during our stay was the occasional power cuts, which are quite common in hill stations. However, the team at Vaanam handled it well—essential items like lights, Wi-Fi were backed by additional power supply, so we were never really inconvenienced.
• Mohammed Imran MR (7/5): For 3 star stay it decent with all the basic needs and excellent staff. But Zero rating for WiFi - Location was pleasant, staff was very good, service provided was satisfactory. Room size was decent. They can add couple of more items in the breakfast menu, although it was okay. Wi-Fi connectivity was very bad. The Wi-Fi connection was not at all reaching the rooms and was working only in the dining area. They need to have a strong Wi-Fi connectivity which is a must for visitors.

Peaceful and calm place away from Ooty city. Staff was attentive and helping Breakfast was excellent, idli, medhu wada and dosa were delicious. Though I liked rasam rice, dal tadka, french fries etc. But I didn't like the Chinese food items I ordered.Overall it was excellent experience

• Christadas (8/5): It was a good stay but missing the wow factor! - Nice Location! It was easy to locate and you get nice views from the balcony Room was not spacious. We could barely walk with all the furniture inside. Toilet seat was kept too close to the side wall. We could not sit straight on the Seat as there was no space on the right side. Bathroom water pressure was very low we could not use the Shower much. The wash basin should have been little bigger.

• Kerry (10/5): Fantastic valley views & Exceptional care & hospitality!! - Vanam Holidays offers panoramic valley views from spacious, well appointed rooms with balconies. The rooms have western style ensuite with toiletries. The hotel is situated a short distance outside of Ooty and offers sweeping views of the Kethi Valley and surrounding mountains. The rooms provide direct views of tea plantations and garden farms. The location is great for walking with a new sealed road that winds itself up into rich farming lands inclusive of tea, mushrooms and other crops and the opportunity to see a diverse range of birds. Without a doubt the prize of Vanam is the exceptional service provided by hotel staff who go above and beyond to ensure you have a memorable stay. The food - is fresh, tasty and gloriously cooked in a loving home style way - by the most caring ladies you will ever meet. We stayed extra nights just to enjoy the delicious foods from our room and to savour the views from our room. Special mention to Udaykumar, Ambika Amma, Jaya, Bipin and Jaya who truely make Vanam an amazing stay - look forward to our return visit!!
• Murali (10/5): VANAM HOLIDAYS OOTY - A GEM OF A PLACE FOR PEACE AND RELAXATION. - It was a perfect stay at Ooty. We liked everything at this place. Starting with Udaykumar sir , the manager who was such a humble and polite person and responding and confirming on all the stay queries. The property is located on a fabulous location, away from the city crowd and hustle bustle. The view from the room is divine and blissful. Beautiful mornings and evenings with plenty of birds chirping around. Nice balcony to sit and have coffee or tea and relax in tranquillity. The room was a spacious and comfortable one with all amenities available with kettle,, television with several channels , sitting place , wardrobe , comfortable mattress and pillows , nice ambience to the room , spacious washroom with hot water available always. Clean and crisp towels. The wifi worked terrific and very strong all the time. The Food service was absolutely homely and awesome. Every dish served at complimentary breakfast , lunch and dinner was a delight and we relished everything served. More importantly they serve healthy quantity and with high quality. Be it the owners mother Ambika Amma , the senior attendant lady Jaya , the couple Bipin and Jaya and of course Udaykumar sir are human gems and made our stay that much more pleasant , happy and a memorable one. This place is perfect if you seek nature , tranquillity , great hospitality , culinary delight and quality peace and happiness , all at very reasonable pricing, trust me. I wish the entire team and owners the very best always and seems they are expanding a bit nearby and I will recommend VANAM HOLIDAYS to every traveller visiting Ooty who prefer to stay a bit away from town centre , where it could be too noisy , dusty and crowded. Good Luck to one and All. I will have to think too long and hard as I really am unable to find fault with our stay. So honestly nothing that we dint like.

• Radhika (8/5): Beautiful views and helpful staff. - Very helpful staff, delicious Indian breakfasts, amazing view. Its on a gorgeous hillside 20 mins out of Ooty - which is perfect to avoid the traffic and General busy-ness of Ooty. But it means there are very few food options nearby. Great food available from the guesthouse though.
