Horrible, demanding commission of hotel.com at checkout time. Condition of suite rooms too bad. Quality of food not up to the mark.

Staying here is definitely a wonderful experience. Food was not really typical Kerala style. It's kind of a northern style.

The hotel is actually IN the reserve meaning that until 17.30 you can wander around animal spotting. We did so on arrival and saw as much as we did the following day on the morning boat tour. - elephants, monkeys, deer, buffalo, birds, boar . Of course NO tigers. With around 47 in a reserve of nearly 800km the chances are virtually nil. Staying here also means guaranteed boat place and rolling out of bed straight into the reserve. No early pick up and transfer and queue to get in. Rooms and food are fine and bargain price

Everything was good - the staff, food, rooms, facilities and amenities, co-operation in addition to the uncontrollable natural elements like rain, nature, atmosphere. We would surely like to visit again and stay at the same place. The place is right in the forest and has great locational advantage. Would love to spend some more days wondering around the area on foot.

Excellent location, amazing to stay in forests, clean air, no pollution.
Had a great time enjoying in house activities like cycling, basketball, enjoyed classical dance. Breakfast & buffet dinner was awesome. Watching wildlife while boating inside forest was a great experience

Amazing place.. just couple of hick ups. One has to reach before 5 pm if not the reserve forest security will not allow you in.. so ensure you plan to reach by 3 (just in case you have a flat tyre n don't get further delayed). If u miss 5 pm the max you can get in is by 6 pm. Getting in later than that is impossible. My advice is call and speak to the hotel reception before you book so that u know exactly what you have to do to get into the reserve forest as one has to buy tickets as well to enter the reserve forest. One can't go out after 6 pm as well... However apart from those logistics challenges the hotel is just amazing.. old style but nice. Food is average. The only uncomfortable thing is the main door of the rooms. You can lock it from inside but there is a big ventilation above the door ( pad locks) n one can open it from outside!!!!

Overall hotel was good. Good staff
But only drawback is 5 pm the gates are shut but u can request the ktdc hotel for a jeep. Food is ok. Rooms give u feeling of olden resorts. But the location is very good to feel the forest environment. Beware of the monkeys. Front desk Manager was very helpfull.

Was a well kept property with decent food catered by the restaurant. Right inside the jungle. Probably the cheapest among the 3 properties in Thekkady maintained by Kerala tourism.

rooms are great even the property is also good especially that forest atmosphere,but they need to improve a lot in food and beverages, also the restrictive timing by the forest department which should be relaxed at least by allowing the guests for casual walking in the main road to the lake

Periyar house is a nice experience only because you get to stay in the national park premises. The food at the restaurant was good. But the room as such can be rated as 2 star. But it's a good facility for a night's stay, not beyond that. The biggest advantage is that it's just 10 minutes walk from the boat launch and the trekking point. Since one cannot go out or get in the park after 5.30pm, the restaurant inside is the only option for dinner.

Periyar House nestles right in the woods.Elephants,hedgehogs,deers are regular visitors at night.Hotel services are organised.Since no engagements in night, the hotel indoor games facilities sould be more developed.Overall we enjoyed the stay.

Hi ,
I have stayed in periyaar house for 2 days. Its a very nice location but it has some pros n cons too. Pros-
1. One of the best experience of living in woods
2. Periyaar lake is on walking distance and hotel will provide u the tickets of boat ride so u don't need to be in long queue.
3. Nature walk in the periyaar forest in a very reachable location near to lake.
4. First trip to boat ride is best, this view can't be beat by any other time.
5 we were lucky enough to see many animals like elephant etc while our boat ride.
Cons-
1. After 5:30pm u need to be in the hotel only. Can't go even beyond 50 MTS due to safety reasons.
2. Rooms are OK , don't expect much if u r on looking for fancy one.
3. 2 days are too much to be here , one night stay for all the activities would be suffice. Second day was kind of boring as there is nothing much to do.

Location of the hotel is to far away from the city. and after 6 pm no check in and in the evening you can't go any where outside because the hotel is in the forest area.
