Vala House

Good hospitality and guest relations by the host Savinay

All good

Beautiful room and veranda

No actual access to the beach here. Need to take a tuk tuk up the road

Savii and Asha made the best hosts. It was our first experience of a home stay. Break from tv. Savii saved me from the lizard.

Just found out that restaurant was not operational and only breakfast was available. No tea station in room only upstairs by the kitchen. A bit inconvenient as weather was hot. Only fans in dining area. Views beautiful. Need mosquito sprays in rooms.

To see the sunrise directly from your bed with the sun's early rays shimmering the backwaters right in the backyard of your room is absolutely heartwarming. The view from the balcony where the breakfast is served is delightful.

The building is dated. The bathroom was not cleaned and lacked toiletries. The soap and shampoo dispensers were broken which I found only on entering the shower. The staff although apologetic provided me instead a face soap and a few shampoo sachets later as the dispensers could not be fixed. The lane from the main road to the facility is very narrow and maynot allow large cars/suv to traverse. Luckily I was driving a compact car. A huge tree in the front of the building had fallen and most of it had been removed except for its huge uprooted base taking up most of the car parking space. Although the breakfast was served well by the hostess, it's hard to enjoy during hot weather (March to May) even with the ceiling fans going at full speed.
