The bathroom is pretty small and lacks privacy, but it was manageable.

A simple, clean room that was perfect for our short stay. Patrick and Mary were friendly and helpful, and prepared us a fresh, homely breakfast each morning. Loved all the plants. Convenient location.

Breakfast was adequate and tasty but not as good as other homestays in Kerela. It would have been nice to have tea made and fresh juice for breakfast.

Great location and comfortable, clean room. Lovely hosts.

Location is fantastic, 10-15 min walk to local bars/ restaurants. Breakfast is great. Patrick and Mary are very friendly and were able to book attractions if required. Mary and Patrick cook an amazing breakfast.

My (single and cheapest) room was on the ground floor, right by the front door. The walls were thin and I could hear other guests talking outside and having early breakfasts in the room next door. There was nowhere for me to sit in the garden

All was ok. The hosts are an Indian Christian couple. Breakfast was more or less the same each day. Nice freshly cooked omlette, but no real option and nothing particularly local. It was quite definately a homestay - it was unusual to stay in a real home. It was a little cluttered, messy and quirky and the lack of professionalism was both charming and somewhat unexpected. The location was in a quite quiet residential area, just a bit further from the areas of tourist interest than expected, but still quite walkable. Google maps can help you avoid the main, unattractive road.

- room not ready so waited an hour and a half though had messaged our arrival time which was after the stated check in - stack of urinal blocks left in drains in shower and loo. So strong smelling, even in the bedroom, I couldn't sleep and we both had headaches. I looked up the chemical composition and they contain 2 highly carcinogenic ingredients which are hazardous to breathing, especially at this concentration and in a sleeping area.. Even after I removed all but one of them in each drain (in case they were there to prevent other nasties) the bedroom still stank of them. I have just unpacked my luggage at home and everything in my bag, even my water bottle, smells strongly of a men's public toilet. - the blind in the shower was broken and very dirty. - the owners do not really seem very happy to host homestay guests I do not like giving negative reviews and maybe there is a reason, but I cannot recommend as things stand. If these things were improved it could be good. Be sure to say if you don't eat meat when you arrive, meat curry was given us on our first morning, the only time this ever happened jn south India.

- on arrival lush and beautiful plants make it look heavenly - very comfy bed - nice omelette for breakfast on 2nd day - nice location not far from sea and hub of Fort Kochi

Bathroom was simple but did the job!

We had a great stay with Patrick and Mary. They provided an easy check-in process which made the experience smooth and simple. Good wifi, good breakfast and also provide a laundry service which was great for us. Patrick also organised a tuk tuk tour of Kochi for us which was brilliant and very reasonably priced. Good AC also.

There could be better defence against mosquitos (I seemed to get bitten a few times over night and should have asked for a mosquito net).

Heaven really is in the name! It’s a beautiful stay - and the owners Patrick and Mary were always so incredibly helpful in organising excursions and taxis for us so quickly. Honestly, the customer service was really impressive- Patrick and Mary seemed to be on hand for us at any point. Breakfast was delicious too! The place is also just a short walk to the centre of Kochi too where there’s plenty to see, do and eat! Patrick organised my very own yoga closes (1:1 with a teacher just opposite the hotel which was brilliant as well as Ayurvedic massages for us!). Would definitely stay here again if I were to return and would recommend friends and family to.

Had a great time in Fort Kochi. Patrick and his wife were super helpful, breakfast was tasty. Loved the neighborhood, all you need is in walking distance. Definitely first choice in case we come to Kochi again.

Having to get up early the following day for a flight haha

It was like stepping into a rain forest as we entered the property very green and lush plants, the host's arranged a tuk tuk to take us to see all the points of interest and the driver was very informative. In the evening the host arranged tickets to attend a kathakali show which we thourghly enjoyed.

1. Doors didn't close easily due to humidity in the air. Locking and unlocking it each day was such an ordeal that we had to leave it unlocked when we went out. The netted storm doors slammed back each time you opened it, and had metal filings on the edge that hurt and scratched the hands. 2. There is a smelly but friendly street dog (most likely unvaccinated) that has access to the property and made quite a racket outside our door all night. I think this is not safe to allow street dogs to enter and sleep at the property because some of them have rabies and other dangerous diseases. I have personal experience with a family member dying of rabies from getting bitten by a street dog, so this makes me a little nervous for guests who may pet them, especially children. Other than this, it is a really great place!

Breakfast was amazing! It was wonderful to have freshly prepared traditional delicious kerala breakfast with tea every morning. Mrs. Patrick is such a great cook! and so accommodating with our preferences! She made sure there were eggs and toast every morning so my (not very adventurous with food) son could have something to eat. Location was the best part. You could practically walk to all the main tourist places including fishing nets, beach, cultural center. Rickshaws were never more than a minute's walk. Everything was clean and comfortable in the rooms. AC and fan were very welcome in the hot weather. I really like the simple decor of the room with traditional art on the walls. Mr. Patrick gave us a lot of good tips and information and I am so grateful to him for organizing the backwaters trip. It was the highlight of our visit! Thank you Mr. Patrick!

The breakfast was ok, really not bad at all. But if there was something that could be improved it might be worthy of consideration

Friendly people. The hosts suggested going to a traditional classical theater performance "Kathakali", that was really worthwhile. My daughter enjoyed oil massages at the nearby ayurville spa. I enjoyed the historical surroundings nearby.

The greenery of the homestay was wonderful.😊Both Mary and her daughter are also quite helpful . My son loved the vibes of the place particularly the kitty there whom he spontaneously got connected 😊😊It was a pleasant stay there overall ..

Stayed in April 2024

AC didn’t work properly, so the room stayed pretty warm. As mentioned above, location is good but not perfect.

Cute homestay. Loved that the breakfast is served on one big table so you get to know the other guests, it created a natural environment for sharing tips and stories from our travels. The owners were friendly, and offered different activities for us to get to experience fort kochi. Everything we wanted to see was in walkable distance, although the homestay itself is a little bit away from what we perceived to be central. They have laundry at the roof terrace, where you can do your own laundry which we really enjoyed!

Room right next to main entrance of house and so noisy whenever anyone left the property (I understand they were trying to be quiet but the room isn't soundproofed. Ask for a room upstairs if you have a choice. Also, room not ready at advertised check in time.

Breakfast nice and family friendly.
