Reviews of Jasmin Villa

It was very good authetic Kerala breakfast deliciously prepared. Breakfast was eat as much you want. Staff was more than prepared to answer your questions. Robin, the Tarzan was always ever willing to help. My great admiration for him. Wilson and Jasmin were exceptional host

When everything is good, very difficult to find adverse comments.

Jasmin Villa Homestay truly feels like a home away from home for everyone but especially for me on my first solo adventure. Jasmin, Stanley, Robin and Enoch(the card player😃) welcomed me like family and always made sure I was comfortable, arranging outings so I never felt alone and ensuring I experienced local Kochi life. Having nearly every meal here, I can definitely say the food is consistently delicious—homestyle and suited even for longer stays. It’s the perfect start for anyone visiting India for the first time; the kindness and attention to detail here helped me settle in quickly and look forward to returning before I leave! I am so lucky I chose to stay here. I really did feel like part of the family. I have already rebooked. Make sure to do the cookery class with Jasmin. The dosas are to die for !

We immediately felt like being at home, the cleanliness, the attention and the safety that we felt was so comforting and lovely.

We loved absolutely everything.

We had such a wonderful stay with Stanley, Jasmin, and her brother Robbie – they welcomed us with so much warmth and kindness that we immediately felt at home. Our room was beautiful and cozy, with a spacious bathroom – and both were without doubt the cleanest we’ve had during our travels in India. One evening we were lucky enough to enjoy Jasmin’s cooking: a table full of fantastic South Indian dishes, all absolutely delicious. Every morning she also prepared a lovely breakfast for us, the perfect start to the day. The neighborhood is very pleasant, just outside the busy center of Fort Kochi, which made it both peaceful and convenient. We truly felt at home here and can wholeheartedly recommend this homestay to anyone visiting the area.

The hosts, the breakfast, the room everything

Nothing

Everything was perfect. The room and the bathroom were extremely clean and had a good size. The homestay is good located, quite close to the main points of interest of Cochin. And Jasmin and Stanley make you feel like at home. Besides, she's a very good cooker, so breakfast was amazing (different everyday and with several typical Indian traditional meals).

There was nothing I didn't like.

I stayed at Jasmine Villa Cochin for 4 days and had such a great experience! The host family was super friendly and helpful—they even helped me plan my sightseeing, which made things really smooth. The rooms were very clean, cozy, and beautifully kept. It really felt like a comfortable home away from home. The food was a big highlight. The lady of the house made some incredible seafood dishes with super fresh fish. And the breakfasts were king-sized—tasty and very filling! Overall, it was a warm, relaxing stay and I’d definitely recommend Jasmine Villa to anyone visiting Cochin. Would love to come back someday!

Comfortable family home with guest rooms in a beautiful, quiet lane.

Jasmin and Stanley are amazing hosts! We felt very welcomed to their home and they did so much to make sure we were comfortable. Stanley is a wealth of information and arranged some great experiences for us at an affordable cost. He also gave us excellent shopping suggestions. Jasmin is such a great chef. We preferred her meals over any restaurant! The house is clean and comfortable. Our room was spacious, and the bathroom is fantastic. Cochin is a lovely area that we would recommend visiting !

Local Laundry services were quite expensive -- even more than in the US. I'd recommend doing laundry by hand instead. Not a big deal, though!

The hosts are extremely welcoming. Enjoyed all my time at their property

Hospitality provided by Jasmin & Robin is one of the best in this business. Homemade food provided by them is too good Rooms are very clean and traditional Since the rooms did not have tv, when I requested for a tv, they provided me with their own tv for 3 nights which really showed how kind and humble they are .

One of the best places to stay in Kochi. The room was super clean and spacious. Jazmín and her team made me feel at home and they were always very kind and helpful. I would definitely come back and I recommend it 100%

We couldn’t have found a better place than Jasmin and her family’s home for our short stay in Kochi! We felt at home with such a lovely and warm family. The property offers very nice and comfortable rooms, and the best breakfast we’ve had since the beginning of our trip! A must-try for a local and memorable experience in Kochi!

A great home stay run by 2 great people Jasmine and Stanley, ably assisted by a young man. (Sorry forgotten his name). The location is ideal for Kochi, walkable for the fit and able or a short Tuk-tuk ride. The breakfasts are superb, different every day and enjoyably shared with other visitors. Stanley can organise trips, tours and transport, but his wife Jasmine runs the most amazing cookery classes, a real must for any foodies.

Nothing the whole experience was absolutely amazing!

Bonjour. What a stay ! We came in Jasmine 'so home for our 2 last days of our trip. 2 ad3and 3 teenagers. All was far beyond our expectations : rooms clean and well equipped, location, and above all, the kidless of Jasmine and family. I will never forget the moments we spent together to talk or to play football 😎. Not to forget the saris. For the food, it think it was one of the best meals we had. Allez-y les yeux fermés, c'est trop bien. Bertrand.

- Jasmin and Stanley welcome you into their home with open arms, this is such a special place with a relaxed, comfortable vibe. We left feeling renewed and happy! - The food is amazing, Jasmin is an amazing cook. We tried so many local Keralan foods like stuffed squid. We ate dinner here every night because we didn’t want to go anywhere else. It was also so nice to sit round the table and chat to Jasmin and the other guests. - The room exceeded expectations - big, clean, comfortable, big bathroom. Slept so well here! - They helped us organise activities such as a backwaters tour and Kathakali dance, which were both brilliant. But they organised them both for us and we didn’t have to lift a finger. - Great location, can walk to local town in about 20 mins

Nothing we didn’t like!

Jasmin's melodious laugh is infectious.  Her, Stanley (her husband), Robbie (her brother) and Enoch (her son) are the most obliging hosts that you could wish for - so helpful (laundry, train tickets) and welcoming (big smiles & many lovely cups of milky tea).  Our AC room was very good, with a huge bed and huge bathroom.  And a terrace but we preferred to chill in the dining area next to the garden. Tuktuks to town are 50 to 100 rupees. After hearty breakfasts, we spent our days exploring Fort Cochi and then returned for delicious feasts for supper and chats with other travellers. Do not miss Jasmin's generous and scrumptious evening meals! They are different every night. We loved her soups, mango tuna curry and chicken curry (with coconut and cashew paste). Jasmin's Villa will make your stay in Fort Cochi very pleasant and memorable.  The family is clearly proud of their home and her cooking, and she is indeed the hostess with the mostest!

I liked everything about Jasmin villa!!!! What a superb stay ! Room extremely clean Great size Nearby to all amenities Breakfast and dinner WOW, Jasmin is the best chef of all Kerala , lots of variety. Jasmin and Stanley are very accommodating! They are the best hosts ! This property should be nr 1 in the whole Kochi ! Love you Jasmin and Stanley 😘

Very nice place to stay. Clean rooms.The breakfast is delicious and every day you can taste something new. Everyone at Jasmine's homestay is very kind and helpful. Good vibes only !!

Exceptional hospitality by Jasmin, Stanley and Robin, they made us feel like home even though we stayed just for a night. The rooms were very clean, bathroom was amazing, overall a very good value for money stay. A suprising bonus was that Jasmin cooked for us traditional Kerala dinner and breakfast, which was really delicious! We really appreciated the gesture. We will definitely come back!

The room was big and we decorated nicely and the bathroom was the best we had in India.

Jasmin and Stanley are extremely welcoming and caring! We felt very comfortable. The rooms are comfortable with a big modern bathroom. The food is very good, breakfast varies every morning. The portions are more than generous. We highly recommend the cooking class with Jasmin.

Great hosts, very helpful staff, and nice, friendly environment for guests.

Room was nice and clean. Jasmin is a fantastic cook, the dinner she made for us was the best meal we have had on our entire backpacking trip. Same goes for breakfast. She and her family are very welcoming :)
