It was a great place to stay. There autos were very costly. Rajendran sir gave his scooty for rent for a day which saved us a ton of money. He also suggested us the right time to go for darshan which helped us in completing it quickly. Finally, thank you for hosting us. It was a day well spent.

I had a pleasant stay here. The place was maintained well. Clean rooms and bathroom. Peaceful surroundings. Proper residential area. Rajendran ji was very responsive and helpful. Made me feel like I was with a family.He gave good suggestions about temple visit and other places.Though the place is a bit far from temple (around 4kms), it was easy to commute as Rajendran ji helped me with his scooter for Rs. 250/day. I didn't have to go searching for a rental scooter. Overall a great experience. I would definitely recommend this place if you are ok with a stay a little far from temple but you can commute using scooter.

Our 1-night stay was fantastic! The paddy home stay was spotless, comfortable, and the location was a quick 5-minute walk to the main square. Rajrndran a wonderful host who replied to our check-in questions in under 10 minutes. Highly recommended!"

The stay was clean and comfortable. The hosts were incredibly warm and welcoming. They even offered us their bike without us asking. The place is just a 2-minute walk from the Girivalam Path and Kubera lingam. Great value for the price.
