Gooseberry Family Retreats - Wayanad

The location of this place is few km off city which makes it a very calm and relaxing place. There is greenery all around (which is actually true of whole wayanad i guess. Its a walking distance from karapuzha dam which is one of places of interest in wayanad. This is also an ayurveda treatment centre where one can go for spa, etc. The owner dr. Tony was very welcoming and had a ready made plan for all guests to explore important places in wayand. The staff hired by him is a nepali family which was very helping. Overall a 5-star stay. Highly recommended.

If you are coming as a group of friends it will be good. If you come as a couple or family it won't be good here. They have tv, but you can't see any channel here coz there's no connection. Safety of the room is good but they don't provide much safety. Hygiene of the room is too worse. There's no regular room cleaner or bathroom cleaning. We could find cockroaches here. That too more cockroaches. They won't provide food during any time of the day. Breakfast, lunch or dinner you can't find any. They are providing tea and coffee. But you can't find milk in it. Because they are providing tea and coffee without milk. Even that is too worse in here. Be bought it and we poured it in the wash basin. There is no nearby shops to get snacks or tea. You need to walk for long distance. And there's no restaurants nearby. After 10 pm you can't go out in road. Coz road has no lights and it's fully dark. It is not safe after 10 pm. Owner of the resort is good. Because he helped to get us car and suggested the places to visit. The only advantage here is it is opposite of karapuzha dam. And other thing is it is centre of most of must visit places. Most of the must visit places are in 30 kms radius from this place. So it may reduce you time. If you need good experience of stay i recommend not to book here.

May be you won’t get a star rated room but 5 star rated customer service is assured. The owner dr. Tony is the star of the show.

Property location is good but property is uncomfortable for us they didn't proper clean and property desisgn not planned correctly

It was an amazing experience to stay at Gooseberry with Dr.Tony . The rooms are very good and clean with nice planation view . The ayurvedic center is so good that we had traditional l ayurvedic treatments. Dr. Tony is great host who knows each travelers taste and much knowledge about the history culture and relevance and ethnic importance of the things which we must visits . His plans for the sight seeing makes it easy to visit the worthy ones in proper time . Its lucky to have stay with such a good person . We recommend the pace and Dr Tony for all the travelers who visit wayanad . At least all should have a time with him to know about waynad .

The hotel ambience is good. Initially they were very curious about our arrival. But upon reaching there, we regret our decision. Basic amenities like bath towels were not provided. We had to ask for a better bucket and mug. Moreover the road to the hotel is pathetic. It is very close to karapuzha dam, still the route is bad. Overall this would be the last time we opt for gooseberry retreat, never again.

The stay was short but memorable. The host was very interactive and always ready to help. Rooms were good and all the facilities as well. The only scope of improvement would be food. They can start providing food at the hotel. Everything was good.

Very nice host. He helped to plan nice tour. The rooms are fabulous. Nice place for families. Safe

Trip was well planned with help of mr tony who showed great hospitality in planning the trip around wayanad. The plan was for my parents, kids so it was well discussed and planned so that all enjoyed. We did not plan for trucking and avoided too much of crowd. Next time we will try rest of places.
