Akathumuri Vacation Rentals

"We had an extremely disappointing and unprofessional experience with this homestay. After booking the room days in advance, we drove nearly 7 hours to reach the property — with my wife unwell during the journey — only to receive a call from Mr. Bijoy at 5 PM asking us to cancel our reservation. His reason was that the existing guests “couldn’t fly out of India” and would be extending their stay. This is completely unacceptable. A confirmed booking is a commitment. How can a host arbitrarily decide to retain a room that has already been reserved and paid for? Poor planning on their part should not become an emergency for their guests. We were left stranded in the evening, forced to scramble for alternative accommodation after hours on the road. There was no support, no assistance, no accountability — just a request for us to cancel. To make matters worse, the guests being retained were American, and the situation raises serious concerns about preferential treatment and racial profiling. This experience reflects a complete lack of professionalism, reliability, and basic hospitality ethics. I would strongly advise future travellers to think twice before booking here if you value certainty and respect for your time and wellbeing."

"Kind and friendly staff, enjoyed every moment."

"Clean wonderful staff"

"Nice and clean room. Excellent breakfast! The room tv didn’t work, we escalated few times without any success. Also, had an issue with spa booking but it worked at the end and the massage was worth it."

"Clean rooms, friendly staff, good service. "

"Extremely courteous staff. Lovely facility "

"The property was beautiful and the staff were amazing! The location was beachfront and amenities including yoga were top notch. The room was comfortable and clean. You’re able to do dinner outside overlooking the beach and had a special bakery treat for my birthday. Great selection and service at breakfast!"

"This is a lovely place to stay. The bungalows are pleasant and very spacious, the setting of them with lawns between them and broad verandahs as well as proximity to the busy tourist cliff road and the beach make this an excellent place to stay."
