It was all adjustable nothing much to complain overall it was a great stay.

This is my 3rd trip after a couples of times. I love the homely ambiance and the way the host treats me like their own daughter. uncle Harry and Aunty Mercy are 2 darling of a couple who really look into you safety and well being.. Even your food they are very concern off. The love given when you stay there you can't get it else where and that bonding continue even after you have left. Wonderful place stay.

Minor point: no breakfast available.

Excellent homestay, in a very good location.

Stayed in March 2025

Everything was good, but it would have been nice to have a kettle in our room.

Harry and Mercy were excellent hosts and really made us feel welcome. They recommended places to visit and organised a tour of the backwaters for us and a visit to the hilltop palace and folklore museum, as well as getting us tickets for a Kathakali performance. ,Our room was clean, large and comfortable, with not only its own bathroom, but also a dressing room. There was plenty of storage space and Mercy provided us with an extra blanket and towels when we asked for them. Breakfast was good and taken in the pleasant surroundings of the patio, looking out at the garden with Mercy’s chickens in the background. The location was very good, within walking distance of the sea and the main sights in Fort Cochin.

Little bit tired. So many light switches to choose from and not where expected. Room smelt of stale cigarettes

Great location close to lots of major sights. Very friendly helpful owners, Harry & Mercy. Good breakfast with fresh fruit juice and delicious homemade food.

We had an amazing stay! Only one night unfortunately but Harry and Mercy were fantastic hosts and we wished we could have stayed longer. The Homestay is lovely and quiet yet within walking distance to main attractions in Fort Kochi. Breakfast was absolutely delicious, our best in India. Harry arranged for a driver to the nearby waterfalls, airport transfer and a tuk tuk tour. Nothing was too much trouble. I hope we will be back!

Great location in 10min walking distance to Fort Kochi. The hosts are very friendly and the selfmade breakfast delicous. If you need transportation they will also organise one for a fair price.

Our stay at the Sithara Homestay was absolutely amazing. Harry and Mercy really welcomed us into their home - we felt like one of the family! Everything was very clean and the location was amazing! Harry and Mercy helped us with everything we needed help with - from taxis to laundry, and even offered delicious home-cooked breakfast. Cannot recommend a stay more!

Nothing. We loved our stay there. In toto.

The breakfast was tasty. Served with affection. Wholesome, with daily seasonal fruit. Served outdoors, the quantity is unlimited. They both( Harry sir, Mercymaam & their househelp, on All days of our stay, ensured that we had our fill. The previous night, they also asked for our preferences. Which I found to be very thoughtful of them. The room was neat, mosquito proofed, with good ac. Adequate for us. The house itself situated away from the main road, ensured that it was quiet. The homestay is at walkable distance from most tourist attractions, Cafes, n especially the beach. A Huge Plus point.

The bathroom was small and basic, if you're worried about that kind of thing.

Great location in Fort Kochi, you can walk everywhere! We had a clean, cosy, comfortable room and a delicious home cooked breakfast in the morning. The hosts were exceptionally welcoming and really made us feel like one of the family. They arranged our transport to the airport when it was sadly time to leave. Next time we're in Kochi we'll be sure to spend more nights here!

Everything was perfect.

This homestay was the highlight of our trip to India. Harry, his wife and house staff are the warmest and friendliest people and make you feel so at home in their house. Harry was kind enough to help us book Kathakali tickets and our transfer to the airport and gave great recommendations for Fort Kochi. The breakfast alone is reason enough to stay here, so delicious and made with such love! Rooms are clean and comfortable and have everything you would need and the location is in walking distance to all of Fort Kochi’s highlights. We loved it so much we decided to return and stay again on the same trip. I would recommend everyone to come here and will definitely be returning!

Fantastic experience with a wonderful host. Harry and his wife go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable, arranging transfers, doing laundry and making a delicious breakfast which was different everyday! AC was cold, room was comfortable and WiFi was good. What more do you want??

It feels like home, breakfasts were great, no problem with running water or electricity.

Stayed in April 2024

Could perhaps offer some newer towels - though i used my own so it wasn't a problem.

Wonderful hosts. Lots of interesting things to talk about and they grow lots of their own fruit which they serve at breakfast. Welcoming family. Great location and close to some nice restaurants. 5 min walk from the main area, and less to some key sites. Had no issues walking back and forth in the dark. Rooms are basic and generally clean and there is a veranda at the front of the property you can use to relax.
