I stayed at Manoj and Santoshi's place for a night on my recent visit to Karwar. The place is tastefully done with enough space for two people in the bedroom, a fully functional kitchen and a living room. The kitchen had everything you would need - pans, cooking oils, tawa, pressure cooker etc. The space was very clean. You could lay down and relax on the hammock surrounded by coconut trees. My son loved watching the bathing buffaloes in the pond on the backside of the property. Now, the highlight of my stay was my interaction with Manoj's father, Mr Premanand. He was so kind and checked with us multiple times to see if we were ok or needed anything. He would personally help us carry our heavy luggage to the room and back. He stood with us in the sun to get us an auto rickshaw. Uncle cooked us some delicious meals. The fish thali was better than anything I've eaten in Karnataka . Absolutely loved my stay. If your are in Karwar please go and stay here.

Neil and his father josh were very helpful n friendly, they have arranged me few more kitchen utensils on my request n I was given a bike to get necessary groceries from near by store. Place is very clean, premises are beautiful n maintaining well. I m very happy with my stay here.

Home away from home I booked this place for my parents and both the hosts supported me as a family. At no point of time I realised how my parents will manage. From recommendations to bookings of nearby sight seeings everything was guided by Krishna Uncle and for the breakfast they invited at their home and early morning served them pure vegetarian lovely meal. Uncle is so proactive and kind to help you out any time and in any way. Ongoing festival darshan at Ettumanoor Mahadev temple was wholesome and ritual experience, morning kayaking was adventurous one. Whenever I felt anything he is just a call away and everytime it feels like I'm talking to my Uncle, my parents are going to other home. Super thankful for your support and beautiful connection. A must go to place with serene beauty, peace and pampering hosts.

The place is exactly how it is described all the pictures match the description. The care taker and the host Venu are very proactive and respond quickly. Everything was great and peaceful. One thing people have to keep in mind is, as it’s remote place on the river side commuting frequently like we do on the roads is not possible. You have to inform the boat people in advance to get on the roads from stay.

Upul's property is beautiful. The caretaker was very thorough with her job and made sure we were comfortable, She even arranged a local tuk tuk for a dinner visit to town. It's a bit further off from the main touristy centre, but if you are seeking a quiet, beautiful retreat, this is great, and proximity to the airport makes it a perfect 1st or last stop from Colombo.

Best view of the city.

Had a pleasant stay of 4 days at Travancore twinkle. Such a nice and helpfull host.the appartment and community are so clean and relaxing one. Looking forward to rebook the same place on our upcoming travel to kochi.

One of the best stays i stayed...Safe and wonderful stay..Host was Very responsive and their insturctions were clear about the rules checkin checkout etcc.., had a great stay..Love you stay again

This is a fantastic apartment in a lovely upmarket neighbourhood of Colombo. Shayani was great to communicate with, check-in was easy and the place was spotlessly clean. The flat is well equipped, the beds are comfy and the balcony provides a superb view towards the Colombo seafront. There’s a great little supermarket nearby, along with a Barista coffee shop. In addition to the trendy Wildish restaurant on the ground floor of the building, there are many great restaurants in Park St Mews which is an easy walking distance. This apartment is highly recommmended. We will definitely return. Five stars.

The place is made to give you an ultimately relaxing experience. Loved the ambience and the entire homely boho chic setup, cleanliness, the facilities provided by the host, easy to navigate to the location, super easy self check in, great view, very spacious. Absolutely enjoyed the stay for 2 days.

I had a great stay! The place was clean, comfortable, and just as described. The host was friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. Everything I needed was available, and the check-in process was smooth. Would definitely stay again!

a great value for the price, considering it's at the heart of Koramangala. The room is clean but I feel the lights could be replaced as it felt a bit dim (weak lights), but during the day, there are big windows which allow plenty of sunlight in so that's good. Also, maybe it's already mentioned and i didn't know but the terrace that you see in the pics does not open out from the room, it's one floor above. that being said, the terrace is a lovely place.

The place was amazing and the hosts were proactive enough to reply immediately for anything in need, making sure to make the process hassle-free.

Lovely place, all away from the hustle, gives you a tranquil and pleasant experience. Surrounded by only nature and it’s beautiful sounds, would definitely recommend. The host was very responsive and helped us in all ways. Special mention to the caretaker who made sure we had a good time.

Beautiful place! Had a lovely weekend with friends and family. Great service by Mr Matthew and Sumanth. Very responsive host answering all my queries. Good food and nice activities to do around the property. Totally worth it. My only feedback - 1. Washrooms don’t have great ventilation 2. Complimentary breakfast could be offered, since we have to depend on the place for all meals, given the place is so far away from the town area. And food prices are a little on the higher side.

Amit and Caroline are great hosts and the property is exactly as they have described it. We booked in at the last moments (in fact a couple of hours before we headed in) and Amit was very responsive and helped us with all information that we needed. The place is located at about 2.5 hours drive from Mumbai (Airport) and an esy drive once you're out of Mumbai traffic. It is located in a beautiful outland with sparse civilization. That makes the getaway very peaceful and private. There's a lake within 5 minute walk - with lovely mountain views and green meadows. The house itself is very well equipped - simple and elegant. We cooked ourselves simple and delicious breakfasts with the ingredients and utelsils that were on the house. For the other meals there is a menu available from a nearby restaurant - but we did not venture in on that. Amit and Caroline's hosting was par excellence. They are great hosts - and have everything sorted, to make their guests comfortable. Great stay!

The stay was amazing and the host and his wife was very helpful to us , it was super clean view was pretty amazing you can just spent hours while sitting at the corner . The barbecue grill adds a spark to your late evening celebration. It’s little away from the main city but it’s very safe! If you need any help hosts are available 24*7 . Don’t rethink book it 🌼

The place is right at the beach and near some of the finest hotels in Goa. The compound has multiple small other cottages which keeps the goa vibe alibe along with peaceful nature of south goa. the place is apt for 4-5 people and extremely clean and beautiful, surrounded by 2 pools and beautiful common area. Sophie as a host is perfect, communicates effectively and provides insights whenever you ask for help. she is very flexibtand friendly. this will definitely not be the last time i have been to her listing.

Now, where do I start from. The place is everything as described and lot more...It is easy to lose yourself in the midst of nature...and equally easy to find yourself in this beautiful coffee estate with lush greenery all around. The folks you interact with are even better. Kushi is not a Superhost for nothing...she is omnipresent..you have a request, she is available and in almost all occasions it will be granted...she has a knack of pleasantly surprising you..Ali took really good care of us, was always there for us and served us with delicious food... We had a great time along with our furry baby..she turned into an explorer in the vast open spaces ....An absolute visit..and revisit. It simply rejuvenating !!

I’ve stayed at many Airbnb’s and this may be my favorite. It’s serene, right in nature, yet extremely comfortable. They get me anything I need, food, water, etc. The bed is comfy, the middle glass room is my favorite, to write and meditate and stare at the eagles. The kitchen has everything you need. This place is perfect if you want an escape. If you want time to just be with yourself and loved ones. I feel really blessed to have found this space. It’s exactly what I needed for this point in my life. 5 stars across the board. I hope you get to experience the magic of this Airbnb.

Stayed between 15-18th of April 2025. This is the second time I visited this property. Absolutely a gem of place to relax and unwind. The location is full of nature only the sound of the birds can be heard. The views are stunning with a beautiful lake in front and a large paddy field. An unspoilt village to show children how the rural village life goes about. There are plenty of bicycle for the guests to use FoC and Can take a bicycle ride across the village and on the bundt of the lakes in and around and enjoy the picturesque views of the lakes and the Galkiriyagama rock that spans for 7kms. During the night only the sound of nature you can hear. In the evening a dip in the lake with the villages is not to be missed. The property is very clearly kept. The food is absolutely tasty and made in a kitchen cleanly kept. Ideal place to enjoy traditional Sri Lankan Rice and Curry and other Sri Lankan food. A place definitely you want to revisit over and over again. Great value for money.
