TLDR - Great place to cut away from city life, amazing out-in-the-wild experience, great hospitality.. but be aware of the challenges of living amidst nature! I traveled in Jan 2020. Pros - 1. Absolutely brilliant place for people who want to get away from the noise and disturbance of city life. The tents are is nestled in the middle of a coffee plantation and once you're here, you feel like you are in a silence bubble. All you will hear is the sound of rain, birds, insects and children playing in a near by village. No cars, no horns, no people shouting.. This was my favorite thing about the place. 2. The caretakers there(Harish and Sahir) are very warm and welcoming. They will cater to all your requests to the best of their ability.. For example, my car broke down on my 2nd day there.. the caretakers personally ensured a mechanic came to the resort and repaired it for me. They also took us on a trek of the tea plantations nearby for an entire half day at no extra cost. 3. All your food desires and needs without any complains. My partner is vegetarian and I am non-veg. The chef ensured they made at least 2 dishes for both of us for every single meal. Food here overall is an elaborate affair with no holds barred on quality and taste. 4. Hygiene is always maintained in the location. The tents are very clean, bathroom is spanking and linen is fresh when you get the room. 5. There are AC, fridge, TVs and kettles in the tents so you won't miss any necessary amenities. Cons - 1. The cost is quite steep. Although all good resorts are priced similarly in this area, Kalpetta itself is quite a low cost far flung place. 2. It is quite far from the main city or for that matter even the main road. You will have no problem if you have a personal vehicle(preferably something with good ground clearance) but if you don't, its definitely a challenge to get around. 3. There are no solid doors in the tent. At night, the whole place gets very dark(there are no surrounding lights in the vicinity). It's quite unnerving the first few nights. If you are not the adventurous sorts, you might be in for a shock. 4. The tent does get the occasional insect because it is in the wild. So if you are scared of bugs, rethink this option.

Location: off Beat location amidst the coffee estate. Right next to Kabini River and inside a thicket. Very quite and serene location. Hear the birds chirping. Feel the nature. Nearby to Banasura Sagar dam plus pookode lake. So all western locations of wayanad is accessible from here. Service by Vineeth (manager) was excellent. Very friendly and helpful. Food served was tasty. Response was timely. He took us for a nature walk which was educative and entertaining. Room: only small issue with hot water supply (could be temporary one). Inside room, all facilities were provided. We even had a visit by a grasshopper and snail which is expected. I would really recommend this place.

*Into the wild* Thoroughly enjoyed the stay! Surrounded by lush greenery, this cottage emanates a charming forest atmosphere. We were happy with the comforting meals served to us. The pre-selected dinner and breakfast options offered a wide range of dishes. Must say that Vineet and the caretakers are extremely polite and professional. They ensured that our experience was good. Moreover, they took us on a morning trek to a tea plantation. Now please note that it's not a hotel room but a well-maintained tent, so have your expectations accordingly.

First of all they should remove luxury tent from there listings because it's feels like 10 years old tent with no proper maintenance. And secondly their price for a night should be rs 1500 or max rs 2000 with dinner. Not 6000 rs which they usually charge. Trust me it's not worth of it. We paid around same and once we reach at property n didn't like it because it was old & not maintained at all. they were not ready to cancel our booking. We were two couples we reached at property around 5 in the evening and waited till 9 in the night no solution from the manager as she was out of station. Property manager has no clue how to handle customer & what are the rules. What a shame. Finally we spent 1 night there and left in the morning as we didn't want to ruined our holiday so we spent next 2 days in another hotel. Btw no refund from these scammers. There is reason they have kept different name of property on different booking portal. They are just cheating customers. So guy's don't pay in advance just go & see the property ones, rest you can decide yourself.

Staff was very kind and helpful!! Food was very tasty and it feels like home..

If you want calmness and quiet, then come here Vineet was helpful, took us on a walk. The tent was nice, i would say OK for two people, not three. Tent was clean, washroom was very nice with a good shower and amenities. Loved the calm there. Full points. Food was good, both veg and non-veg. However if you want glam or Kasol vibes of smoking and drinking, please don’t come and spoil the peace of this place. Also, we went in May and saw the forest was full of firefiles. Looked very nice

This place is good enough but far from the city. Woods and woods are everywhere.Rooms are spacious and clean .Toilet and bathing area is also clean. This place is good for those who like to spent time alone.

A Smelly tent with NO Light inside the room, NO Amenity, NO food . You have to order food and wait for at least 1-2 hour.. Be careful when you visit with your family. There is no manager so don't expect much from helper. We left the property as we didn't find safe for kids. Please see recent review before booking. we have done mistake as Goibibo have give false review in website. Before COVID this Place might be good but this is my review. ONE more important thing i missed out.. 1. You don't expect anything from owner of the property .. He don't bother for all this this. He is not going to refund single rupee. 2. Goibibo website is for booking the site and surely not for solving the problem. They clearly said we can't help on this, Thank you

This is a small cozy place with around 5-6 tents surrounded by lush green coffee plantation. There are not too many amenities, so one may get bored if the stay is longed. That being said, we had a very pleasant stay. The tents were very cute and quite safe as they were on raised cemented flooring.. only the walls and above was tent. My daughter was very happy and amused. The staff was not very polished but very friendly, warm and helpful. In fact when I think of the hotel, this is the first thing that comes to mind. There was a small lake/pond over looking the hotel. When we showed intent of visiting a farm or something, one of the staff took us for a small walk/trek into the tea estate to reach the lake and play for a while.. that was another activity which kid loved. Approach can be bit tricky so hold on to the Google maps.

Had an amazing time at this glamorous camping site! The tents nestled in the forest offered a breathtaking view. The care taker Vineeth's hospitality was top-notch, and the overall service was fantastic. A perfect getaway for nature lovers! ⛺🌲 #GlamCamping

Me and my husband had an amazing stay at Grassroots, Wayanad. This stay is literally in nature's lap. The stay is basically luxury tents with amenities like AC, TV, well maintained washroom, good bed. The view is of Kabini River and tea estates. From the staff, we had Vineeth and Shiva. They were very welcoming and cooperative. Everything we asked for, was addressed (whatever was doable within their extent and available facilities). The food was very good. They had enough options for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians. The breakfast had at least one local food item. We had puttu in breakfast one day and it was amazing. Vineeth also took us for a walk to the nearby tea estate. The property is around 10-11 years old but has been maintained really well. Highly recommending this place for a relaxed vacation.

We had a great stay. The staff is very cooperative. Very luxurious tent rooms, smells good and very clean. Parking is a challenge. We will visit again if given a chance. 🙂

Good property. 11 kms from main city. They got 5 cottages. Staff is friendly. Cottages are clean but since these are tents, there can be a few insects / lizards. Proper lighting and AC in place. Place is quite safe. Good food they serve. Just outside the property you can see tea estates, a small river and coffee plantations

If you’re doing a road trip, and your focus is on finding a good place to stay and relax and enjoy nature, this is a great option for you. Good view, good seating areas, clean rooms, good food, good wifi, AC, and covered parking are all there.

Nice location, caring staff, rooms good. Overall a lovely experience with nature

Pros 1. Tents are neat and clean 2. breakfast is very good 3. staffs are humble and friendly 4. location is awesome. It is inside coffee estate and next to it there is a tea estate 5. Near to banasura dam Cons 1. Dont have much lighting arrangement inside and outside the tent 2. Google map location is not correct. It is 6km away from the actual location 3. Bit far from city

A good stay if you want to be surrounded by nature. Awesome views and activities. Really courteous staff, especially Vineet who made our experience memorable.

Awesome place to get away from the hubbub of the city,unwind and relax. Pros: Location is not too close nor too far from wayanad attractions. Gives the secluded feel. Yet the attractions are easily reached. Staff are extremely accommodating and helpful. Vineeth and Shivu were really helpful. They even suggested a few places and helped plan my itinerary. Although the food was on a fixed menu, the portions and taste were phenomenal. Kudos grassroots. Cons: parking is limited and might pose a challenge to maneuver. PS: please confirm with staff for lunch and dinner before hand as they will prepare accordingly.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Grassroots and I must say, it was an absolutely incredible experience. Location: It is simply breathtaking. Nestled amidst nature's embrace, It's the perfect retreat for those seeking a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Trek: One of the highlights of our stay was the sunset and bird watching trek. Vineeth (Our guide) took us on a remarkable journey through the surrounding wilderness, and tea plantations. And the variety of bird species we encountered during our trek was simply awe-inspiring. It was an experience I will cherish forever. Accommodation: The luxurious tents offer a unique blend of comfort and elegance. They are thoughtfully designed, spacious, and equipped with modern amenities. Food: We were served the most delicious and authentic Kerala cuisine. The attentive and friendly staff made dining a pleasure, ensuring that every meal was a memorable experience. Staffs: They were exceptionally warm, courteous. They also have an adorable pet dog Javi, who accompanied us on the trek and added an extra dose of joy to our experience. Javi was not only friendly and well-behaved but also incredibly cute. Conclusion: Whether you're a nature lover, a food enthusiast, or simply in need of a tranquil escape, this resort has it all. Book your stay here, and prepare to be enchanted by the beauty and splendor of Kerala.

We were in this tent house for the last 2 nights. The place is calm but the amenities provided are very basic for against the cost of the tent per night. The lighting in the room is extremely poor. The food was good and tasty and the care takers were very nice. This is not a place for solo family's but a good spot for 3-4 families coming together for a vacation.

Me and my wife had an amazing stay at grassroots. The staffs were amazing and so welcoming and food was amazing too. Vineeth guided us throughout the stay. The cleanliness was exceptional. Will definitely recommend to those who are looking for a relaxed vacation.

This is basically a cheap tenthouse for which they are charging hefty amount of money. Interestingly I found it so bad that today only I checked in but seeing the condition I want to make other people aware not to loose their hard earned money. The tenthouse has lot of insects including mosquitoes which makes your life hell...they have provided one mosquito repellent in the tent when asked for extra repellent they denied. 2) Light is too dim in the room. 3) Tent is at too much height making aged people very difficult to reach. 4) It is too far if you are coming from Bangalore in between you will find tremendous properties in Sultan Bathery, kalpetta etc. 5) AC is not working though weather does not demand it but when you are paying the money at least you should get all facilities. 6) Restaurant does not look like restaurant itself like how when we were child in school tables and chairs used to be their. 7) From the tent house to the restaurant distance is there it is very difficult to reach in night as proper lighting system is not there as well as proper stairs is also not there as I am accompanied by old age people they are finding this place very weird. 8) We are 3 people who have checked in for the third person they didn't even bother to provide Cot they have given a thin bedding put it on the floor and asked to sleep on that thin matress on the ground itself. Why the hell we should be paying such an amount if we have to sleep on the floor, such bad hospitality is not seen anywhere. 9) Now coming onto food served is ok type only. In breakfast they provided poori bhaji, bread jam and butter only so be ready to get shocked on this part also because they lack both quality and number of cuisines.

Awesome experience, wonderful hospitality.. Decent good food provided..

A beautiful stay admist the coffee and tea estates of wayanad. The staff is very kind and helpful,they always make an extra effort to make their guest feel comfortable. The food served is delicious and homely. They take you on a walk in the morning to a water falls for bird watching, and to a beautiful sunsets view in the evening . Best place for a weekend getaway from Bangalore .In a world of constant change and steaming technology, find solace in the nature where a tree remains a tree. 🌳❣️

Grassroots is amidst the coffee plantations serving the beauty of nature in its own way. They have a wonderful collection of books, and antiques which give a nostalgic vibe. My personal favorite was bird watching with the staff and our guide of the day Mr. Vineeth amidst the wonderful tea estate. Grassroots provides a varied variety of foods and their service is one of the best. Mr.Shiva,Vineeth and other staffs were constantly serving us with their best service. A must visit place, not just for it's serenity but also for it's professional service.

A beautiful but affordable place to stay and enjoy nature quietly. Stuffs are very helpful and caring. The food they serve (breakfast and lunch/dinner) will make your day. The tents with attached bathrooms are spacious, clean and provide all comforts required. In my opinion, this place is apt to spend some quality time with yourself or friends or family among nature.
