Down to Earth Farmstay by LAKSEM

My family and I had a fantastic time staying here. This place is surely among the top accommodations in Pollachi. Our stay was very cozy, and we really appreciated our time spent here. The meals, prepared at home, were tasty, fresh, and delightful. The staff were friendly, caring, and attentive during our entire visit, ensuring all our needs were met. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we look forward to returning.

I chose this place based on Google reviews and stayed for one day. The rooms were not cleaned properly, with dust and cobwebs in several spots. The bedsheet had wall lizard droppings. When I told the caretaker, he claimed he had cleaned the room with water, which I found hard to believe. The next morning, tea was served in a flask, and while pouring, I noticed a big fly inside. Muthuswamy brought another tea after I informed him. To people from Kerala, please don't trust the reviews. They charged 5000 plus 250 GST but didn't provide a GST bill. The room isn't even worth 1000 rupees. Responding to the owner, when you said 7k and after discount and GST it was 5250, I thought it was a 7-star place. Only later did I realize the fly in the tea was 5-star, but the lizard droppings on the bedsheet were just 3-star. Being a farmstay doesn't mean you should treat guests like this.

The Location is in Sethumadai right very close to Topslip Checkpost. If this is the purpose of the visit, then this place is ok. However for the intent of publishing this as a farmstay, there is no effort made to find the place. There is no mention of boards or anything. Thanks to Google we were able to reach. There could be some cleanliness around the place. Basic things as Soap was also not available in the room. There is nothing nearby and you just have to basically stay inside the room. The advertised Pond has hardly any water. It is definitely overpriced and not worth it

A vacation escape from the city's noise where you can immerse yourself in nature and an authentic village atmosphere. This spot is perfect if you want a rustic setting paired with homemade treats. We had a wonderful time during our three-day stay surrounded by a 50-acre coconut plantation.

An ideal spot for a safari in Annamalai. The accommodation feels very homely and serves excellent homemade meals. The staff are extremely hospitable, with special thanks to Mr. Muttu Swamy. I highly recommend this place if you want a tranquil stay.
