    The stay was good. Staff was very welcoming. It's a little bit away from the main area but manageable if you have your own vehicle. Breakfast and dinner provided is good. Ranjeet/Sam/ Karan/ Smitha are very helpful.

    Poor Stay

    nikita p.family with 1 kid

    The place is extremely small, looks very old and not maintained at all. Pictures are a bluff..must have been when it was first started..since then it looks like they haven't even washed the curtains. although the ppl managing and staffs were polite and helpful but since there were only few it took two hours to make rooms ready even though we reached on time for check in. the view was too good from balcony. I think they are simply taking money just for view..

    Dear Ms Nikita , We noticed your comment about our photos being a “bluff.” Perhaps that may not be the right choice of word. Like any business, our official photos are professionally taken to showcase the property at its best. At the same time, we invite you to check the guest-uploaded photos on Google profile those are real, unedited, and reflect genuine experiences. B&Bs are meant to be small and personal, and that’s exactly what we are. We believe in the right price for the right service, without overselling. If at all you wish to challenge us on cleanliness and daily maintenance. We’d be happy to add you to our internal housekeeping updates WhatsApp group for a day or two — you’ll be overwhelmed by the effort and attention to detail our team puts in every single day. We are what we are, and our genuine guests appreciate us for exactly that. Proudly, Team The Tamarillo

    rajat p.couple

    The homestay is situated in the outskirts of Ooty. We could see hills with tea plantations right from inside our room. The hosts were good to us, service was good, dinner was okay but breakfast was nice. We borrowed the hosts' binoculars to have a look at the tea plantations. There was a camp fire at night and the host provided a bluetooth speaker for music. The overall ambience of the homestay is nice with a lot of plants and flowers. Families will love it, couples can have privacy. The only con according to me is the location. You need to get all the supplies you need from the city itself as you won't find any shops nearby. Overall must visit once.

    peaceful sta

    family with 1 kid

    I recently stayed at this hotel and had a fantastic experience! The room was comfortable, and the staff was incredibly welcoming. Additionally, the hotel offers a car for sightseeing at an affordable price, and our driver, Vimal Anna, was a gem. He was super friendly and went out of his way to make us feel at home, even waiting while we shopped and giving us the freedom to take our time. The food was absolutely delicious, thanks to the talented cook Moses Bro, who made our meals enjoyable. He was very friendly and even took the time to click several photos of my family when we were taking pictures, which was a lovely gesture. Shiva, the helper, was very polite and attentive, making sure everything was in place. Shaik Anna, who took care of our stay, was outstanding. He constantly emphasized that customer happiness is their happiness, and it was clear he was committed to ensuring our satisfaction. The hotel is both couple and child-friendly, and the views from the room and restaurant are breathtaking. Overall, I highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Ooty – great service, friendly staff, and a memorable stay!
