This homestay is good for the money that you pay. It was neat and clean. Food was good and homely. The view was splendid. Feels very good to sit at the back garden. The owner Mr.John has done a great job, great hospitality. More

This cottage is right in front of a small river and also has a outdoor dining area with garden where you can sit and enjoy food with the view of the river. The rooms are also quite neat and so is the food. Would definitely love to visit this place when im back to munnar again.. More

TV was there but having only Tamil/Malayalam channels. There are no vegetarian hotels close by. Munnar town road are in very bad condition. Spices are sold in Town of... More

We spent one night here whilst visiting the tea plantations and Top Station. The room and bathroom was clean and had hot water. The staff will cook a 3 course dinner for you but it's only a very short walk to other restaurants. Breakfast was very nice but not that large. Our room was just off the dining/lounge area so...

I liked staying at John's in Munnar because I met so many great people there, both guests and staff. The walk from John's into the tea plantation was beautiful and serene. More

A friend and I traveled around Kerala in February. We stayed at John's Homestay for two nights. The place was friendly and clean. The staff will cook a full dinner for you if you'd like to sit down with other guests of the guesthouse. Our room was off of the main area so we could hear everything that was happening... More

On our second trip to India we had to get up to the tea plantations. Using the LP Guide we ended up on hostel row up the street from the bus depot. This was OK, but nothing like John's Homestay for not much more. From here walking the tea plantations was a dream .... so serene. The rooms, service and... More

A simple homestay. Fairly clean. Hot water + TV. Good showers. Beautiful garden at the back. The rooms are not mosquito proof. It was also very noisy when we stayed, which is ironic for a hill station. It does not have any good views of munnar and is down a little road just out of the main town. However, the... More
