Editor's Review

The Vanilla County homestay in Vagamon is in a peaceful location. You get to taste some really good flavours of Kerala in the food they serve. But this is a really old bungalow. So you cannot expect any sort of luxury at the homestay. The stay will still be comfortable enough. It is a basic homestay where you receive good hospitality but not top-class services.

  • Owner couple is quite hospitable.
