    The properly was serene. Tucked away near the serene hills of Kookkal , The Westwood Hotel was an absolute delight. The cabins are beautifully designed — charming, cozy, and surrounded by nature, offering the perfect balance of comfort and quiet. One of the highlights of our stay was the food — delicious, home-cooked meals that felt like they came straight from a family kitchen. Every dish was warm, comforting, and made with love. But what truly made the experience unforgettable was the service. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. They went above and beyond to make sure we felt at home. We had an amazing time here — peaceful, refreshing, and exactly what a getaway should feel like. Highly recommended for anyone looking to slow down and soak in the beauty of the hills.

    Location seems to be alone, bit scary too the way how it looks. Service is very poor and the food or tea, all to be provided only by the care taker team and it is too late. Food taste is excellent. The property needs a lot of improvement to make people stay more comfortable. There needs to be a proper compound wall, and walking path with lights for the rooms, some sort of garden. That makes people connected and feel good. Kookal location itself is inside a jungle and to add more, this property provided a scary feel. Based on reviews only, l booked it. Definitely not worth the money spent.

    I recently stayed at this homestay nestled in the peaceful hills of Kookal on the way to kookal lake, and the location offered the perfect escape from city life. The room is called Maple and were cozy, clean, and thoughtfully designed to blend with the natural surroundings.The staff was warm and welcoming, always ready to assist. The food served was homely and delicious, often prepared with locally sourced ingredients. If you’re looking for a serene retreat to relax, unwind, and connect with nature, this hotel in Kookal is a greatl choice. I’d highly recommend it for couples, families, or solo travelers seeking tranquility and a break from routine.

    Property location is good but tge landscape lacks proper maintenance. Food is just average. With that kind of remote location, food must have been exceptional. Rooms cleanliness needs improvement as well.

    We had a wonderful stay at Westwood Hotel in Kodaikanal as a couple. The place offered just the right amount of privacy we were looking for, making it perfect for a romantic retreat. The surroundings were peaceful and beautifully nature-friendly, giving us a refreshing break from city life. One of the highlights was the dinner—it was absolutely delicious and exceeded our expectations. Overall, a cozy, serene, and memorable experience. Highly recommended for couples looking to unwind and connect with nature.
