Every year, Tripadvisor recognises traveller’s favourite destinations, hotels, restaurants, etc. with awards based on reviews that are collected over a 12-month period.
In 2023, Blackberry Hills was fortunate enough to be awarded a spot on their list of top resorts in India. It is an honour to see that our vision for a sustainable, yet luxurious experience is being appreciated by our beloved guests and travel experts alike.
For two consecutive years—2020 and 2021—HotelsCombined has recognised Blackberry Hills as one amongst the best hotels in India. HotelsCombined is a price comparison website for hotels that has been rated by Frommer’s as the “Best Hotel Booking Site” in 2020 and 2021.
Blackberry Hills has been chosen using a strict set of criteria such as the quality and consistency of reviews, the absence of recurring or unresolved issues with customers, popularity of the property and of course, the overall resulting score.
“We are thrilled to be working with the best hotels in India. Blackberry Hills Munnar- Nature Resort & Spa has proven its place among them with this award and its commitment to providing high-quality services to all guests” —Melinda Balazs, Hotel Awards Program Manager at HotelsCombined.
We have received a silver award from the International Centre for Responsible Tourism for our extensive efforts to implement sustainable economic practices. Blackberry Hills won the award in the `Increasing Tourism’s Contribution to Natural Heritage and Biodiversity’ category.
Our unique location in Pothamed has situated us on the fringe of a teeming and diverse environment. As a birdwatching hub, our region is home to a large variety of bird species—and we take great care to protect and conserve each one. Our premises are also abundant in populations of Malabar Giant Squirrel and the Malabar Whistling Thrush.
Responsible Tourism requires that operators, hoteliers, governments, local people and tourists take responsibility, and also take action to make tourism more sustainable. It’s environment-friendly, people-friendly, and culture-friendly.
With the biodiversity that surrounds us, we have dedicated our efforts into ensuring that each species of animal, bird, flora, and fauna is treated with respect and allowed to thrive. We accept responsibility for our environment, so our SOPs are designed with nature and conservation as a core tenet.
