The Mudhouse Marayoor

This place offers a refreshing twist to the usual Munnar experience dominated by tea plantations. It’s incredibly peaceful - imagine waking up to the gentle chirping of birds and the calming embrace of nature all around you. The Mudhoude is a unique and amazing experience that stands out from the typical attractions. If you’re a nature lover looking for a serene escape with a touch of local charm, this spot is definitely worth a visit.

Unwind and reconnect with nature and yourself. Beautiful grounds that reminded us of French or Italian gardens, no plastic in the huts and dining area, Bali style bathrooms and sleeping in a mud house devoid of toxins and chemicals adds to the benefits of staying in this resort. Also the bed was very comfortable and nice to have a proper duvet instead of synthetic blankets. Waking up to the dawn chorus was amazing. The food was generous, tasty and healthy. We especially liked the banana fritters with our tea. The handmade ceramics made the food and drink even more appealing. The room was spotless and even though it has a thatched roof, we didn’t see any insects. The staff are all attentive and sweet. Thank you for a memorable stay.

Amazing Experience. The stay was very unique in the cottages/mud houses. The rooms give the rustic ambience but at the same time are appropriately equipped with all modern necessities and large bathrooms. Very comfortable stay. Moreover, the service here is impeccable. Ambily and each and every member of her staff strives to go above and beyond to provide excellent service and WOW the guests. Very friendly and personal experience in service. The food served was very delicious and great variety and once again personalized to our taste and likings. Very authentic food experience. Overall highly recommended.

We stayed in Mudhouse for 2 days. It is a beautiful property surrounded by mountains and greenery. We stayed in the tree house for one night and the Cob for the second night. Our Treehouse stay was quite adventurous. There are a lot of lizards and mosquitoes. Though the view is good I think only true nature lovers can live there. The staff is good. Special Thanks to Ambily and Devu.Food is good. Some parts of the property are under construction and they need to work on it.

Staying at Mudhouse Marayoor was a truly special experience. The negative reviews on here seem to reflect a lack of research which has resulted in people choosing this property when it is not right for them. Those seeking a relaxing stay in a beautiful natural environment, with the opportunity to be fed home cooked food and looked after by friendly and kind staff, however, would be perfectly suited to this resort.

The Mudhouse Marayoor was easily the most beautiful place I have ever stayed it. The gardens were impeccable, the rooms were luxurious yet simple, and the staff were friendly and kind. Our caretaker, Ambily, was helpful and charismatic and she made sure all of our needs were met. There were gorgeous nature walks nearby if you want to explore, but you could easily spend your whole day enjoying the grounds and eating the delicious food on site. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Great place to relax and enjoy some silence. Get immersed in the tranquil and serene beauty of the surroundings sipping a mug of hot coffee and that's enough to make you forget all your pains and pressures ! Food is top notch because the chef is. Kudos to the lovely caretaker Ambili for prompt responses and hospitality. Good number of places and activities around. Overall a big fat thumbs up !

I recently stayed at this resort after being drawn in by their Instagram posts, but my experience was extremely disappointing. The resort is completely different from what they advertise. It’s poorly maintained, with insects in the rooms, and no room cleaning or service at all. We arrived a bit late due to traffic, but despite the high rates, they didn’t offer any flexibility or compensation on check-in time. For the high prices, you’d expect at least basic amenities, but they provide no toiletries, the beds are hard and uncomfortable, and the rooms feel unclean. Even worse, pests and bugs in the rooms are a real concern—some even pose a health hazard, making the stay uncomfortable and unsettling. Their dining menu is very limited, though the food itself tastes fine. However, strict dining hours make it difficult to enjoy meals on your own schedule. The only redeeming aspect was the politeness of the staff serving the food. However, some staff members seemed overly friendly, as if trying to compensate for all the resort’s shortcomings. They often engaged in small talk and jokes, perhaps assuming this would distract guests from the issues, but it came across as a cover-up for the poor conditions. The resort also lacks clear information or guidance on nearby activities. They only mentioned a small walking trail after we asked directly; no proactive guidance was provided. Additionally, the road to the resort is narrow and difficult to navigate, adding to the overall inconvenience. In summary, this resort charges five-star prices but doesn’t deliver anywhere near that level of experience. I would strongly recommend that anyone planning to visit be fully prepared with essentials. This place needs serious improvements in both quality and transparency Thank you for responding to my feedback. I appreciate your acknowledgment of my concerns, but I’d like to clarify a few points. During my stay, the rooms were not cleaned daily, and I believe daily cleaning should be standard regardless of the property’s size. It was also inconvenient to have to request essential toiletries like shampoo and body wash, as these were not readily provided. Regarding the insects, I understand it can be difficult to keep them out during monsoon season. However, I was surprised that we needed to notify you just to have the room properly attended to.
