    Review Summary

    Powered by Myra.AI

    The property has a peaceful location with good accessibility to nearby attractions like Kemmangundi and falls. Guests appreciate the helpful caretaker and the tasty food, which many find better than local restaurants. However, the rooms need serious maintenance, with issues like bad lighting and cleanliness. While service is generally swift, improvements in upkeep and facilities could enhance the experience further.

    Bath rooms

    ravikumara r.loyalty-iconfamily

    Bath rooms are really bad, broken toilet seats, running taps. Smelly bed rooms no basic bath requirements are met. If somebody goes thinking you will have at least bath towels, they will be in for surprise

    Stay at Joe's Homestay

    sivatha n.group

    Good locality, peaceful and has shop accessibility. But the room was badly maintained with lots of lizards and insects and even cobwebs. Dusty and badly lit. Great hospitality though. The service was good and the manager was very respectful. With a little bit of property maintenance and cleanliness it could be a great place to stay.

    Worst experience. It's like a Boothbangla

    vinod k.loyalty-icon

    He is rude. (1) Refused extra bed sheet. (2) Dark when we asked he said lights burned. (3) Refused bonfire. (4) He said one chapati, rice, sambar in the dinner. So immediately we vacated this dirty Homestay and checked into other.

    Very nice stay away from City

    abid a.group

    Homestay is in a village. Harish the care taker is very nice person. He has taken care of our group as if we are guest in his own home. Everything he provided in just one call. Food is awesome. They have their own restaurant. Food. Is far better than most of the high Wifi restaurant. Very hygienic and good food at very reasonable food. If you are in a group you can definitely try this. Not recommended for couple as it's little far from City. Everything is accessible at walking distance.

    Just ok

    shashank v.group

    It was just ok ok property. The place was clean and secure. They provide only breakfast, not a meal. I would suggest them to provide lunch and dinner also. It will be better because no restaurant was nearby. Staff was cooperative. Bone fire facility was there, but they charge a high amount for it. I think charges should be lower.

    Joe's Home Stay

    avinash p.couple

    The place is okay and service/food is comparatively better. Location of the home stay is very near Kemmangundi, Kalathgiri and hebbe falls. Camp Fire can be arranged by people of home stay. An Ideal place for bunch people to enjoy their weekend and not very suitable for couples thought. Overall it's good place to stay and enjoy.

    Good stay and hospitality

    tushar m.couple

    Property located is in right place for sightseeing of Nearby places(within 15 km) are-Kemmangundi, Kalhatti falls & Hebbe falls. (40km- Mullayanagiri & Baba Budangiri hills). Property cleanliness is very much required as there is limited staff & hot water is available based on request. Electricity supply would be available from Evening 6pm to Merging 6am ONLY. Food quality is average good as the oil they use is not good quality otherwise cooking is good. Staff co ordination is good. Overall experience is Good. Need few improvements as mentioned above.
