    I would highly recommend this homestay. The localisation is perfect and you feel at home in the homestay (facility and confort are excellent). As a solo traveler, I was feeling very safe walking from the homestay, even at night after Kathakali show. I received a very warm welcome when arrived and was given al lot of useful information. A lovely family

    We appreciated our host's hospitality. She was always available when needed, recommending tourist attractions, booking taxis, and more. The homemade Keralan breakfast was delicious. We really enjoyed the tea she prepared with lactose-free milk and a few spices. On our last day, she even prepared breakfast earlier than expected so we could eat it before catching the train. We will definitely return.

    I liked most everything. I guess the only thing would be no hot water but hostess is trying to work on this. Pre Monsoon Season it is so hot that most the time hot water is not needed anyway.

    I really liked this Homestay. It was a nice and cozy place to stay. Like staying in a home and not a hotel. The owner is very friendly and cooks hearty Keralan breakfast food and makes a good cup of Chai. She was also very helpful with talking to taxi drivers in Malayam to arrange drop off and pick up. And will give you suggestions of places to visit as well as can sell you tickets to a Kathakali show. You are given full access to the kitchen too if you choose to make your own food. And you can do your own laundry too for a small fee which I found very helpful. My room was spacious and had very good AC. The balcony was a treat. I liked to go out and stand on it in the mornings and look at the palm trees. If I had more time in Kerala, I would have stayed longer. The owner is very kind and personable. Her daughter is very adorable and speaks perfect English to the guests. Location is perfect in Fort Kochi. In walking distance or auto rickshaw distance of most sights including Jewtown and St. Francis Church. Also near some great yoga studios.

    Not much. There is nothing that can be done at a neighbour's dog barking.

    Quiet location in a small alleyway. Small balcony with each room and terrace on the roof. Functionally furnished rooms and shared kitchen. Very pleasant owner.

    Breakfasts were quite basic (one day just being offered bread and jam) but quite adequate for my needs.

    The owner is charming and efficient, the hotel well located and extremely clean indoors. The outside has now been cleared of the rubbish which had blown in, which much improves the appearance of the property. Bathroom and bedroom were modern and lovely. The owner arranged a backwaters trip for me, recommended where to go and how to get there (I rented a scooter, which opened up the area for me), and even booked a train ticket from there to Goa.

    This place is like staying in a hotel and in someone’s home at the same time. The room was really super nice with great furnishings and an effective air conditioner that was completely silent. The bathroom is really good too. There’s no hot shower, but you don’t really need in the heat. Sheetal is a wonderful host and will tell you many interesting facts about Kerala. You can also use the kitchen and washing machine which is handy. I cannot recommend this place enough!

    It was a 10 min walk to the town which is not great when travelling solo. But you have to compromise for quality and quiet, so it balances out.

    Exceptionally clean. Very quiet location - peaceful away from the lively town and roads

    Review for Homestay in Fort Kochi I had an excellent stay at this homestay in Fort Kochi. The host Sheetal was incredibly helpful, providing great recommendations for sightseeing, shopping, and even arranging a cab, which made my trip hassle-free. The warm and welcoming atmosphere truly made it feel like a home away from home. The location is another highlight—it’s conveniently close to all the main attractions in Fort Kochi, making it easy to explore the area. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and well-located stay with a touch of local hospitality.
