Pros:

Position in the mountains great, lovely gardens, birdsong beautiful. Sanal is an excellent host going above and beyond to help, especially when I left sunglasses in tuk tuk. He arranged an excellent Jeep driver Joby for a day trip into the mountains where I climbed a mountain, saw waterfalls and elephant and more.

Cons:

Hot water not always working

Pros:

The property and staff were awesome, but the location was not. The place is just so pretty 🩷

Cons:

Nothing nearby to eat or go. Since we couldn't get scooty for rent, it was a bit difficult.

Le séjous'est bien passé car le jeune homme qui nous a accueilli était vraiment serviable.
Pros:

Le petit déjeuner était basique car le jeune qui gérait l'hôtel était tout seul pour tout faire. Il est plein de bonne volonté mais c'est compliqué de tout devoir faire tout seul.

Cons:

Il n'y a pas vraiment d'alternative de restauration autour, cela devrait être plus clairement signalé si on est sans véhicule. Par ailleurs l'établissemeent n'était pas équipe pour les règlements ar carte de crédit ce qui s'est avéré un peu compliqué car nous n'avions pas prévu de tout payer en cash et il n'y a pas de change aux alentours.

Pros:

Ośrodek położony w prawdziwym raju 🥰 można spokojnie obserwować różne ptaki i ogromne wieworki z balkonu.
Manager to złoto — bardzo pomocny, a dodatkowo zabrał nas na spacer po plantacji kardamonu, co było super doświadczeniem!
Śniadania i kolacje przepyszne 😋
Pokoje duże, wygodne i z ciepłą wodą.
Z całego serca polecam każdemu! 👌

The staff made it a great experience.
Pros:

The staff were absolutely brilliant. Nidhin and Sanal sorted everything out for me - I didn’t need to lift a finger. Staff were the best thing about this place. Also the bedroom was comfortable and you could see the mountain.

Cons:

The kitchen needed work. The fridge didn’t work so my food went off, and there were lots of flies everywhere. The cupboards were old and dirty. Workmen were there every day. Also it’s very far from anywhere, so you need to pay 500 just to get into town. Because of this all excursions were 3000-5000.

Beautiful place, super sweet staff, confi room but no hot shower.
Pros:

The place is beautiful, staff was amazing, super nice and helpfull!

Cons:

The main point that made me not give an awsome rating is that the shower was only cold water. You could have hot water from a lower tap, fill a bucket and shower with a bucket but for the price they're charging that doesn't seem acceptable to me. I've been in much cheaper hotels in India were hot shower was granted.

Pros:

1. George is a great host. Really loved staying at the property
2. Santosh ( caretaker) is a true rockstar. He takes care of you and makes you feel at home at all times.
3. The property is quaint and conveniently located near all spots to visit. Located around 10 km from the Munnar town, Green Shades is a true home away from home. The room is nice, well kept and true value for money property
4. Santosh cooked us very nice breakfasts ( included in the package) and evening dinner for all the days we stayed. Ingredients used were all locally grown and sourced.
5. Would definitely recommend the Jeep Safari. Viju ( owner of the Jeep) took us to all the visiting points

Me, my wife and my daughter all enjoyed our stay at Green Shades.

Cons:

1. There is major road work happening in Munnar leading to a lot of traffic jams and delays

2. Munnar town is very crowded

3. It was raining on all the days we were at Munnar, which was a bit of an inconvenience

3. No issues with the property as such
