Overall good experience.Adjusting in terms of food on the first day but the team made up on the second day. Bathroom could be better cleaned. More activities could be planned in advance of the arrival to ensure smoother experience during the stay. We will of course recommend Organic Mandya to anyone planning a farm stay. Good job team!

Organic Mandya was a wonderful ecotourism homestay. We were welcomed and given a tour of the organic farm and told about the mission of Organic Mandya. While we had initially thought that the price was high, after delicious, authentically local (and organic) home-cooked dinner and breakfast, as well as a guided hike in the morning along with a chance to milk cows, and an offer to build a bonfire, we wholeheartedly agreed that it was well worth the cost. The cook was sweet and caring, and the host did a great job of making sure we had a great experience. As a result of staying here, we also got a chance to cycle around some wonderful backroads through villages instead of staying on the main highway. The only thing we felt bad about was that there was a miscommunication about our checkin time. We had said 4 pm, but got several calls from the host checking about it throughout the day, and when we arrived, he said that he had been waiting since morning. We felt bad and would have liked to avoid wasting his time, but weren't sure how the misunderstanding had occurred!

This place is ideal for those who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The farm is tucked away on the banks of river Kaveri, and is little isolated with no eateries or shops nearby. It is the best place to connect with yourself so I will suggest packing enough supplies for the period of your stay instead of having to worry about how to arrange food. Host of activities you can indulge in -read books( the host has a varied collection of books and magazines), or go take a dip in the river, watch the sunset sitting on the rock or if you are an avid angler you can try catching a few fish throughout the day. Mr. Prem is a very gracious host and he will ensure all needs are taken care of. Good experience overall.

One word, Amazing. The place was simply amazing, completely surrounded by nature, isolated from civilization. It feels like a different world altogether, especially with the view and sound of the river Kaveri. It would be an ideal place for anyone looking to spend time amongst nature. It is a properly built, large cottage with 2 separate bedrooms, has running hot and cold water and lights (solar electricity), and that's about it. There is a huge bed and racks for the luggage. Toiletries and drinking water were provided. The river is just 2 minutes away and since the water level was low, we lazed in it for a while. We even got to see few Peacocks roaming around on the property. And, Prem - the host, was an absolute delight. Wonderful man with a very helpful nature, took care of all our needs and also has a wealth of information. Looking forward for another stay soon :)

It is a place for nature lovers , for people who want simple stay and scenic beauty, pure village area. Mornings are really beautiful. Mr Prem is really helpful and caring.

In a pretty quiet enough, we were treated like royalty. The accommodation includes three rooms: a bedroom, a living room and kitchen / dining room. The shower is separate from the toilet (very handy). The roof terrace was also available to us. The sunset from this one is beautiful. Unlike other housing, it is unique. Jane lives on the first floor and rented the second floor. It's a "real" experience with a host, not one of those B & B in disguise. Jane was a great service for us. It sent us all the instructions to reach the place, she was waiting for us even in the corner to show us the way. On the last day, it allowed us to keep the room longer, we had a night bus and she had no reservation. She quite advised us on places to visit. She also cooks very well for a small fee, we recommend trying at least once during your stay dinner in the apartment. In the apartment, there was to us a book of advice completed by all travelers who passed through here. We were able to plan our activities based on the many comments left in this book, much more useful than some websites reviews. Next time go to Mysore, it is without hesitation that we will return to Jane!

It was a great experience with Damodaran family from the grand parents to children and grand sons. Food, welcome and amenities are perfect.

Rooftop Retreat is the perfect name for this apartment as it really is a retreat. The local neighbourhood is lovely to walk around with many parks, stalls and friendly people and easy enough to get in and out of the centre by auto. Food was fantastic. I loved Mysore and could have stayed much longer than 2 days! If you are arriving by auto to the PF office, cross over and go up the road opposite, take the first left and it is there on the left .

Exellent!!!

This place couldn't be nicer, immaculately clean, good wifi, lots of space. The area is quiet and away from the hectic streets, but a little far from the centre.

Host made us feel welcome . We went out for a milk coffee the first day and they gave us heated milk the next day after they found out . Wifi works well . The house is very clean . Enough utensils are available in the kitchen .

Lovley family they made me feel home from the first moment we arrived. The apartement is beautiful and very clean. Can recommend it to everybody how comes to Mysore.

Everything was perfect!

... a pleasant getaway laced with warm hospitality and a 'generous supply of fresh oxygen' ! :)

We spent one night at this beautiful home. The hosts were very nice to us and went out of their way to help us. If you're looking for an escape, this is the perfect place with greenery around you, lovely people and yet you're not too far away from town. If I'm travelling to Mysore again, I would always go back here.

This was my first time in Mysore. I saw the pictures of this place and I was thrilled. The room was very pretty and nice. Its little far from the city but all the places and landmarks are nearby like Karenji lake, Lalit Mahal and Sri Chamundeshwari Temple. The host Mr. Madhur is very welcoming and the food was awesome. I tried Pysum for the first time and it was awesome (thanks to his wife).He also helped us in planning the stay well and arranged a Cab for the Brindavan Garden The place looks exactly the same it is in pictures. I would definitely stay at the same place if I will visit Mysore again. Thanks Madhur ji

Awesome place to stay. The host was very nice, and provided info which was very helpful during the trip.

Sri Vaishnavi home is a beautiful homestay just a few kilometres from the town centre of Mysore. It's very tranquil and peaceful, and it was very clean and spacious. Madhu is a superhost, very kind and friendly and utterly helpful. He knows Mysore very well and can give you great advice in regard to places to visit and which restaurants to choose. We really felt at home at his place, he's such a great man! We would recommend this homestay to anyone wanting to experience Mysore without having to stay in the busy city centre (autorickshaw to the centre will cost you only 100 rupees).

The hospitality was briljant, never had such a host as Madhu. I came even a little earlier than I said, and the first meeting was great. He is such a helpful man, but in the mean time, he gives you a lot of privacy too. It's an open minded man, and we had really good talks with him. He is really devoted and a professional in hosting guests in India. No hassle at all. Don't expect that the accommodation is really luxury house, but for me it was good enough. You have lots of space in and arround the house. Always hot water available. I wish to meet Madhu again. One tip: Open the cold tap a little under the shower. Than the hot water will start to run too. First time I opened only the hot tap, and no hot water was coming. After a little touch to the cold tap, there was plenty of hot water. I forgot to tell this to Madhu, I'm convinced that he will fix this little problem.

Secluded estate house. Quite, yet few minutes away from the buzz. Can go back again, just for the fresh air!

Mr. Madhu was extremely nice, he was there to guide us reach his place and welcome us. The place was very quiet but not far from the city. We took long morning walks around the area. Lot of birds around. The place is safe and we were comfortable. Will recommend to friends.

Ganga was a warm, kind and welcoming host who was very attentive to whatever I needed while I stayed at her home. Her family was a pleasure to meet as well. She lives in a safe area in Mysore and was always available to help with information about what to see and even helped me in arranging inexpensive transportation for the day. Although there was no Wi-Fi, she allowed me access to her home computer whenever I needed it. My room was basic, but comfortable. Breakfast was delicious.

Friendly host. Liked the breakfast. Flexi about timing. A good companion.

We had a wonderful time with Ganga and her family- she was an incredible host and made us feel welcome. She made ginger tea for me when I was sick and a great resource for getting around Mysore, suggesting bus routes and nearby restaurants when we asked for advice. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful, and the room itself was spacious and private. We really felt like we were home! The location is a bit outside the city center, but it's a quick autorickshaw ride in for 50-60 rupees, or a 10 rupee bus ride. There are several good restaurants within walking distance as well. Some things to be aware of: It's an upper-story room and can get a bit stuffy when it's hot out, so I'd recommend leaving windows open during the day to let everything air out. The street outside is sometimes noisy in the morning and the curtains aren't very dark, so if you're a light sleeper, ear plugs and a sleep mask will help. Shower is bucket only with hot water. Basically, it's a homestay, not an AC hotel, so you're trading some comforts for an excellent host, delicious breakfast and more space. I'd absolutely stay here again over a hotel.

Ganga and her family were very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Ganga made some delicious South Indian food for breakfast - the dosas were the highlight! The room (more of a suit) was clean, and the bed was comfy, and the fan kept it cool. The bathroom had a traditional shower (i.e. buckets and stool) but the water ran nice and hot! Highly recommend!

The place is in a quiet area, the rickshaws and an ATM are just around the corner. The breakfast was very good! A little bit disapointing is that no shower is available. Also a TV is not in the rooms (it was mentioned in the description, even I didn't needed it).

Ganga is very welcoming. The place too is beautiful in a quiet neighborhood. It was short trip, but the experience was good.

Ganga is a good host. Property was at best worth 30% of what I paid My 1st experience with Airbnb was POOR

It was such a delight staying with Ganga! She is so generous and bubbly. I really liked my simple accommodation. Fantastic neighborhood!

This is a very typical midrange Indian hotel. Fittings seem somewhat new, but I would've probably gotten a much better rate at the counter. It's not central, but it's not far from the centre either. You can even take a line bus there, no hassles, as Mysore is the probably the quietest town in all of even India (quietest, not quiet, mind you). For breakfast, the hotel manager's recommendation - Kamat at a 10-min walk away - was very good. A very stoic and reasonably priced menu of South Indian fare. There was no room service between the two nights we stayed there, but that sometimes can be a good thing. Other than that, check in was a veeery lengthy process. Again, typical kafkian Indian hospitality.

Aishwarya suites was a nice introduction to Mysore. I dont like to disturb hosts of homestays especially when they are families that i might be living with and that is why i chose to stay here for the first night of my sojourn.this is more like a small cozy hotel and is not a homesta. it is indeed very close to the railway station and that was a big bonus. The room is exactly as shown. The staff bent backwards to make me comfortable. Next day in the morning I met Satish who really is your go to man for anything and everything. Satish is very enterprising always on his toes and gave correct information and directions, always. it was indeed a pleasure to interact with him. It is centrally located and every part of Mysore is easily accesible.

Really nice hotel, rooms are clean, nice atmosphere and good location (1.5km from city center) with good restaurants in a short walking distance. Satheesh bhai will greet you with a smile at the reception, and his suggestions can be very helpful.

We reached at 2:30PM and it was easy to find the place as it was very close to city and the receptionist was very good. They gave a warm welcome and the room was very well maintained. Although i found the room was bit small, but compact. The stay was good, food was good good room service and especially house keeping was good and the incharge Mr Ambareesh was responding well for the minor concerns we had. Over all a good experience. In my opinion i would visit this place again. It fits in to budget.

We were disappointed by this facility. We hold Air BnB to a higher standard, but will be more cautious in the future. This is actually a hotel, not a BnB. The pictures are very deceiving. Our room was small, not very clean, the wallpaper was peeling & AC leaked. Also a big difference in room rate, with the Air BnB much higher than going direct to the hotel website. Breakfast was also limited, Indian styles only & was brought it from outside.

It is a nicely built house. You will have a great stay here. Meghana is great host and her parents were nice too. Although I will like to point out that common bathroom is not on same floor.

Quite spacious, comfortable and quite place to enjoy the stay. The property is also close to some key tourist spots like zoo and palace. The hosts are very friendly and helpful, should work to upgrade the breakfast arrangements at the property itself.

It’s a good place to stay with family, stayed for 3D/2N. The property is same as per Airbnb advertisement – one big room with two beds and some other furniture, other small room has microwave oven etc., sufficient water, tea, coffee packets, complimentary breakfast and importantly overall pretty clean. Good enough place for a small family. You have access to terrace also though I didn’t use it. Places like Chamundi hills, Zoo and Palace are nearby (~3 km). Quite flexible check-in and check-out timings which helped us a lot on the last day. AC may be added considering the Mysore weather. Overall, a value for money and good experience.

Stephen was very accommodating. We didn't have any internet or phone and were unable to contact him until an hour before our late arrival. He waited up for us and welcomed us with a nice dinner. We had interesting conversations with him and the other guests until it was time to sleep. There was a lovely breakfast waiting for us the following morning. Stephan was very helpful with our itinerary. We would stay at Stephans if we were to return to Mysore,

Wow what a fabulous experience! A simply beautiful farmhouse, lush green and quiet. The lodging itself was beautifully decorated with fabulous artifacts. There was ample sleeping room for our party of 10. The beds were comfortable and everything that we required for our comfort had been thoughtfully provided. A very large fully equipped kitchen with fridge and microwave was available. The outdoor area to relax and eat was just what we needed. The manager was very helpful, always available and even delivered milk and bread for our morning breakfast. The host was very kind and gracious and helped us plan our stay in Mysore. Overall just wonderful! Highly recommend!

I would like to thank sanjay for letting us stay at his beautiful home in such short notice me and 9 friends visited mysore was last min plan but sanjay hosted us so well and also the place it self is beautiful have to see with you own eyes and has all the plus points close to everything yet so peace full and relaxing.

We were hosted by Sanjay at the "Room in a Hillside Villa". Sanjay was very helpful in making sure we understood directions clearly. He also clarified in advance the time by which we would reach the place - so he could have the necessary arrangements made in time. He displayed warmth in his interactions and made us feel welcome.

Yes welcome. surrounding area pleasant

Reached this wonderful place quite early.. much earlier then the check in time! And Sanjay still welcomed us and made us feel comfortable. The Villa which has 3 airy bedrooms and a Living room which is spick and span and has a completely relaxed atmosphere with a fireplace and a few nice books to read. It was a wonderful stay and will surely go there again. And the food served by Uthappa, the neighbouring cook!! It was to die for.. Especially the Vangi Bhaat or the Brinjal rice and the home made chicken curry :)

group of 5 friends traveling to Mysore from Mumbai. This was our first time booking from airbnb, But everything went quite smoothly. The place is exactly as advertised, slightly on the outskirts but within 100 rs auto ride to Palace /zoo/Lake etc. We preferred living outside the city hustle bustle and it was worth it! Sanjay was an extremely gracious host and advised us on places to visit nearby. The women in our group felt safe, found the place very hygienic and comfortable. We also enjoyed many rounds of carrom, and ping pong in a well maintained clubhouse type arrangement. Highly recommend this to anyone looking to stay a few days in Mysore.

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful farmhouse to the fullest. Mr Sanjay was a great host- friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and non intrusive. His recommendations about restaurants, places to visit, shops were all good. Special mention for the kitchen. So well equipped. Practically you can cook anything. We were impressed by the art pieces and the beautiful paintings at the farmhouse. Your manager Sudarshan was also very helpful and prompt. Our local sightseeing in and around Mysore was very smooth and hassle free thanks to Mr murli , a very professional and knowledgeable cab driver whom you recommended to us. I would definitely recommend this place to other travelers. At first sight, the location appears slightly away from the main city...but that never caused any problems as ola or uber cabs were very easily available. A small inconvenience could be that the ready meal or breakfast is not available from the kitchen of the farmhouse itself. However, the host informed that it can be arranged from a source. This could be little troublesome if you have kids or small babies with you. However, if the guests can buy some materials for cooking simple quick dishes, this won't be a problem.

Cozy comfortable home in a nice farm, beautiful location.
