Hosts were extremely helpful and welcoming. Good location-within walking distance to the main temple area. Excellent Indian breakfast.

The room was a bit cramped for two adults with luggage..

Owner was very co-operative. Location of property.

Every thing I like.

Jayan & Anitha are very friendly hosts. Breakfast was good, Anitha is a wonderful cook. The room was clean and confortable. Jayan went out of his way to get me an adaptor I needed and helped me with bus schedule.

Travel information provided by the owner & the polite behaviour of the land lady.

Smelly bathroom. One of the towels was quite old. Electric cattle was of plastic. One of the cupboards used to get stuck with the door of another cupboard while opening & closing which was very annoying. Also, had to leave footwear outside.

Amazing location close to the temple. Great place to stay (got more than what you would expect in home stay) Amazing owner who was extremely helpful and made us felt like his extended family. He suggested additional places to visit for our travel to Kanyakumari and these were very nice too....

Nothing at all

The breakfast was middling. I have had better at cheaper places. They gave us puttu ( rice+coconut mixture) with a curried lentil accompaniment with bananas

The place was well appointed, but the staff turned from Mr Jekyll to a Mr Hyde. In my 50 years of travels I have never been abused so much by a proprietor as in this case. The attendant took my wife's passport late at night and forgot to return it. Next day my wife was searching frantically for her passport and they opined that I had taken her passport with me on a tour to the Napier Museum. She frantically tried to call me and I returned. We both searched all our belongings for her passport and could not find it. We asked the attendant again and again to see if he had it, but he assured us that he looked everywhere and did not have it and commiserated with us about the loss. He then asked me for my passport as he had made a poor copy the previous night, and as he opened the printer lid, there was her passport. My wife went totally livid as she had a nervous breakdown searching three hours for her passport. We could not stay there even though we booked for 4 nights. He demanded cash for all four nights before we took the room. He refused to refund any money and then turned on me and said he would call the police as I had put the passport myself slyly under the printer lid and he had video evidence to prove it. Of course he could not provide the video evidence and the attendant denied that it was he that forgot to return my wife's passport. The owner then had the temerity to tell my wife I was lying to her. My wife was so stunned by the psychopathic change in behavior of the proprietor from charming to ruthless that she could not stay there another minute. We lost the money and we left. Karma will come back at some point and give him his due. I would advise everyone to pay by credit card only and not cash. Stay at the property if you must but don't be fooled by the homey charm front that the couple puts up.. A nightmare of the worst kind as far as treatment by a proprietor goes. We went to Soma Palmshores. It was going to heaven from hell.

Jayan and the caretaker was fantastic. They contacted me immediately after i made the booking and facilitated my stay throughout. It was a late night arrival and they helped process me quickly. Breakfast was home like and location is just great. Would love to stay again and also recommend to friends.

Nothing to complain about.

Amazing homestay. Nalinam home has a piece of our heart. I stayed there with my friend and the hosts were amazing, Jayan uncle and Anita aunty are the best and lovely people. They guided with nearby places to visit, helped us with local transportation. They are the best in what they do. The breakfast was amazing. We got to try the famous Coconut puttu which was sooo good. It's walkable distance to temple and also to the market. location friendly. Loved the Ambience of the stay. If one appreciate and love the antiques this is a must place to visit.
