    Not at all value for money

    utkarsh g.

    Went there for a family stay - while the scenic beauty was amazing but the amenities were really basic and sub par for multiple things. Initially for an hour or so electricity connection was patchy, bedsheet, quilts, towels etc were old and dirty. Bathtubs were shown in the picture but those were really dirty. Mattress was really stiff and really old and thin. Food options were limited, care taker was not prompt

    We had a great stay, beautiful property in the lush coffee estates of Coorg. Well maintained and interiors had a very old and rustic charm about it. Very friendly staff and tasty home cooked food, quite happy with their hospitality. Great place for a family outing. Thanks to Varun for his hospitality and service.

    A bit of Kerala in Coorg

    sneha s.group

    The house is very beautifully done up, and is very clean. The staff is very polite and cooked an elaborate Kerala style meal for us. It's a bit cut off from other restaurants and activities, but when you reach there, you wouldn't want to leave this beautiful house nestled among trees.

    Magical stay

    ajay g.family

    I have titled this review as magical because of the enchanting place it is deep in the woods overlooking a beautiful valley, with fireflies in the night, cycling in the rain, gauffing at the tall 9 stories trees, the music of birds it was a mesmerising experience- people are blessed to stay here instead of staying at hotels we will from now on stay at such places offering adventure mystery and treasures of memories for a lifetime.

    Excellent stay

    swaraj s.loyalty-icon

    Everything was awesome. Specifically the food served. The owner was so kind to help us in anything we want. Only one thing to keep in mind that if you are alone in that it might be scary at night because it is amidst a jungle and very calm at night. But enjoyable. The peace so adorable.

    Simply superb.

    pratap d.group

    If you're looking to stay far away from populated areas, this is the best option I would suggest. The service is very good from guard to the manager level especially the way they treated is like a real home feel. Only negative point is the absence of the direction boards which is tough to find out the homestay with a bit of struggle.

    Location, Serenity, Hospitality

    sneha b.family

    Located in leafy pollibetta amidst Tata plantations, Crystal homestay is a home away from home. The bungalow built in classic southern architecture is fully equipped with beautiful gardens, mini ponds, pepper plantations and rain water harvesting. The rooms are well lit and the staff take care and how !! Beautiful place to unwind and soak up nature.
