Cleanliness
7.8
Mixed: several guests noted pool cleanliness issues (leaves, insects, foam) and wet/small washrooms; one report of a leaking room — cleanliness is a concern in parts of the property.
Service
9.3
Generally praised — multiple notes of friendly, well-trained staff, helpful restaurant and activity staff; however reception and check-in/check-out were repeatedly called out as slow or lacking empathy, and one incident of staff not recognizing an inclusive meal plan.
Location
10
Very strong: repeatedly described as breathtaking, scenic, excellent valley/mountain views and ideal for wildlife/birdwatching — clear standout for guests.
Room Quality
8.8
Mixed-positive: some rooms/units praised (new garden suites, lovely cottages) but others had issues — leaking in a living room, tiny/wet washrooms and noise from the roof; overall room quality leans positive because of newer suites.
Amenities
8.8
Solid: onsite restaurant, yoga classes, guided walks and estate tours are highlights. Pool and some maintenance aspects need improvement (pool cleanliness was mentioned).
Value for Money
7.6
Concerns raised: unexpected child supplement/extra charges, being charged for simple requests, and limited breakfast options left some guests feeling value was weaker despite strong location and experiences.
Food and Beverage
9
Generally very positive — food and restaurant service described as top notch and delicious by many guests; some criticisms around a limited breakfast menu and restrictions/communication issues at dinner for package inclusions.
Overall Experience
9.9
Overall highly positive: many guests called the stay magical, fabulous and would return (wildlife, views and hospitality stand out), tempered by front-desk issues, occasional staff miscommunication and a few facility complaints.

Un cadre magnifique, mais un manque criant d'hospitalité à l'accueil
Pros:

Un lieu splendide au cœur de la nature, une vue magnifique sur les plantations et des chalets superbes. Les enfants ont adoré (mention spéciale à la piscine). Un grand merci aux jardiniers pour leur gentillesse et leurs sourires.

Cons:

Le service à la réception est très décevant pour un établissement de cette catégorie :

​Arrivée pénible : Check-in interminable après un long voyage. Un supplément de 15 €/jour (lit/petit-déjeuner) nous a été imposé pour mon fils de 13 ans, alors que tout était bien précisé sur Booking. La méthode manquait de tact.

​Manque d'empathie : Lors d'un check-out à nouveau très long (et le rick saw nous attendant), mon fils était souffrant après avoir été malade toute la nuit. Aucun mot d'attention pour lui, et un simple bol de riz blanc demandé à la place de son petit-déjeuner payé nous a été facturé en supplément. Petit dej payé en supplément au check-in.
Bref un sentiment très mitigé.

Pros:

Nice view of valley and staffs are well trained and friendly.

Cons:

Terrain could be a bit difficult for aged or with less mobility.

Swimming pool could be better, I could see leafs, insects and white foamy bubbles on the pool, could be better managed.

Awesome scenic beauty that one should never miss...
Pros:

Awesome place for honey moon couples and families who want a romantic/quiet stay in midst of fog/mist/drizzle/rains/fabulous scenaries...would love to go back many times again...

Cons:

The place is not ideal for old people as there are 90 plus steps (steeep) to climb down and up from reception to cottages..

The washrooms in cottages are very tiny and always wet and does not justify the size of cottage.

However, the garden suites are amazing and new and fabulous...

A beautiful stay with incredible wildlife, food and hotel staff
Pros:

This place is magical. A georgous place to stay in Munnar. One of the main draws for us was the bird watching, waking up to the loudest bird song we'd ever heard. On top of that the room and facilities were all excellent, the on site restaurant staff were exptremely friendly and food was delicious. We enjoyed morning yoga classes and especially the walk across the site with Nikil and dog Banjo. They also organised a walk/tour across the lakshmi tea estate with Arun who was brilliant, full of knowledge and brought us snacks and drinks. The reception also organised taxis when we sadly had to leave. Highly recommend for relaxing, wildlife and amazing views.

Stay was cool except for the staff behavior at dinner while placing the order for food
Pros:

Nature, Comfort, & Proximity to the town

Cons:

- The waiters serving food at the resort restaurant weren't aware that I had booked the room that included breakfast and dinner. I was restricted to order only certain dishes for dinner that doesn't exceed the price limit. This was neither informed to me while booking nor the staff at the restaurant.
- Breakfast menu was too limited - needs improvement.
- Not suitable for elders. Provision to be made in the form of lift as they can't climb the stairs

Komfortabel inmitten wunderschöner Natur.
Pros:

Das Hotel ist wunderschön gelegen mit einer tollen Aussicht auf die Teeplantagen. Die Unterkünfte sind über schön angelegte, geschlungene Wege am Hang zu erreichen. Das Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit. Wir wären gerne länger geblieben. Sehr gute Betten, schöne Räume und ein komfortables Bad.

Cons:

Alles okay, gerne wieder.
