Beautiful property with mind blowing scenery. Property has a cute restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Everyone in staff is always smiling and are ready to help. There's something for everyone at Blackberry Resort.
The resort staffs and the location were outstanding.Me and my family had an excellent time. I loved the herbal drink that was offered at the reception upon arrival. The view and the landscape was mind blowing and enjoyed walking around the resort and sitting around the campfire. Didn't get a chance to do hiking during this trip. Will try next time :)

Awesome place to stay
The location is phenomenal and views are nice. Very peaceful.
The food is lousy as its just north Indian mainly for dinner and I didn't come to kerala and not try local food. Was a very big let down.

A world-class hotel
This is an extraordinary place in all aspects. Our cottage had a great interior design with plenty of living space, was well maintained and felt luxurious. The towels were properly clean and the complimentary toiletries were ayurvedic premium products. Waking up to the sound of birds and having a coffee on a shaded balcony overlooking tall trees and the valley in the background was pure bliss. The staff were genuinely friendly. The gardens, views and birds were spectacular.

Nice hotel with great views of plantation
Staying at Blackberry was truly a treat. Room 401 was the best room with great views. We were then in early Feb and were able to experience morning mist and chirping birds. It is a small resort with a nice restaurant and great friendly staff. Bit of a walk to the rooms but scenery around makes it worth while.
Trek to the mountains is tedious so make sure you are in good shape. Over all great experience and was worth every penny.

Excellent hotel in magical setting.
Blackberry Hills is an excellent and relaxing hotel. The staff can’t do enough to make sure you have a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The setting in Munnar is unbeatable on hillside overlooking tea plantation. Would certainly recommend to family and friends visiting the area.

Nice stay with nature
Amazing setting, well appointed rooms, helpful staff, nature at your doorstep.
Need to be able to walk up and down as it is on a side of a mountain.
Access for large vehicles (e.g., vans) only available during daytime and road is not in the best shape.
Wifi available but for limited devices per room.

Tea Country Views
Blackberry Hills is tucked into hilly acres of tea plantations--views just gorgeous. The resort itself is built on a hill so that every activity is either up a steep hill or down one. There is no flat walking path. However, the native flowers and beautiful grounds make it perfectly satisfactory to sit on your deck or patio enjoying the scenery. The food was excellent. The staff was totally attentive, eager to make your stay enjoyable. A new "resort" is going in next door. It will not block the views, but while the construction is going on, there are signs of a construction sight. This is only temporary. Blackberry Hills: very relaxing.

What went well:
1. The resort was beautiful with spectacular views that was worth what I paid for
2. Would highly recommend the Hornbill restaturant. Service and food were great
3. Everyone seemed eager to help and make our stay an enjoyable one
What did not go so well:
1. WiFi was advertised, but never worked. So we were without any internet for a couple of days (cellphone internet is highly spotty here)
2. When we had to come back, we asked for a cab at 9 AM, but the cab did not show up until 10:30 AM, after much back and forth. This caused a lot of unnecessary stress which gave me a bad feeling after a great 2 day stay. Management needs to improve on this front. Or they need to have their own shuttles to the airport (or local areas). Currently they rely on local cabs for all this.
3. Great as a honeymoon destination. Not much to do for kids and families in the local area on in the resort.

Fantastic views into valley
Fantastic view on side of hill looking down into valley. Staff couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful. It's very hilly so you will need access to a vehicle.

Do not stay here
My main tip is not to go there. The reception staff were awful, very unhelpful and most hardly spoke a work of English which made getting anything done including paying £1 for a bottle of water very difficult.
The guide from the hotel was rude and uninterested.
The hotel is very difficult to get around as a result of the steep slopes.
Do yourself a favour and book somewhere else in the area

great views
After leaving the noise and heat of the kerala coast, it was nice to get away to the cool mountains. the hotel was quiet and had beautiful views over the valley. the hotel was a place just to relax and enjoy the views which was what we were looking for for a night. the hotel is away from town so if you want to easily access town or walk someplace this is a little far, but you can order a taxi to take you in if needed. there is a restaurant on the premises, the food was good, not great. the rooms were fine, bed comfortable for india and the balcony was nice. wi fi was a little spotty. the walks are steep and although we thought we could walk down the hillside to the tea plantation, the trail just seems to stop at one point halfway down the hill. Mostly we just enjoyed the cooler weather, beautiful views and quiet. the staff was pleasant and helpful.

nice hotel, patchy service
Lovely hotel, great food and friendly staff. Phenomenal scenery. However the hot water broke down one morning meaning we had to shower in a bucket of cold water, and the receptionist gave us completely wrong info about an excursion which half ruined one of the few days we were there. Room for improvement, but still worth a visit.

Felt like we could have stayed there forever
It felt like we were staying in heaven. I'm sure the exotic beauty of Munnar played a role in this feeling, but everything about the Blackberry Hills Retreat was perfect for the location--from the simple elegance of the lobby to the siting of all the buildings to maximize views to the way they've kept mature trees close to the buildings to the room itself. We had a comfortable suite with a great balcony, a large sitting room, and a perfect bedroom with very comfortable bed. Everything was spotlessly clean. The front desk staff were extremely helpful. The restaurant was excellent when serving off the menu, less so when serving a buffet.
Note: You need to be comfortable with walking up and downhill if you stay here.
