Reviews of Terance Dale

Dax has been a wonderful host, he gave us good suggestions for Kochi but also for our next stops. He sat with us during breakfast and told us about Kochi, the culture and various anecdotes.

I stayed at Terrance Dale for two nights and had a wonderful experience. The place was clean, comfortable, and had a very homely vibe. The host( Dax )was incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the stay even more enjoyable. Located in the heart of Fort Kochi, it was easy to explore the area. I would definitely recommend this homestay to anyone visiting the city!

I am so glad I found this little gem. The host was incredible. Welcomed us with a great big smile in the middle of the night. Communication prior was excellent, Dax had arranged for a taxi to pick us up from the airport. We had everything we needed in the spacious and spotless room. Even toothpaste! Dax really thoughts of everything. Good wifi. Excellent recommendations for local restaurants (plenty of them). And also excellent advice for what to see and do in the area. Excellent location. Dax knows the area inside out and had lots of interesting facts to share with us. Delicious traditional Kerala breakfast in the morning. Would highly recommend!

Dax is a fantastic host, with many stories to share, and he was super flexible with us

The main sight seeings are about 2 km away from the homestay

We had a great stay here to start our Kerala adventure- lovely comfortable clean room and the staff were so helpful with local tips, would highly recommend!!

Beautifully designed, very clean and very well equipped with everything we needed. Perfect communication with the hosts, very kind people who helped us with the taxi in the night. The breakfast was delicious, very good quality.

We liked everything.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Terrance Dale. A lovely room with a large comfortable bed and many thoughtful touches including a fridge and kettle. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. I wish we could have stayed longer.

Nothing

The room was spotless clean and comfortable. The hosts are super nice and incredibly helpful!

Where shall we start? The breakfast with very nice home cooked food and the nice talks with Dax and family. The advice on how to get about in Cochin. The nicely decorated villa and room. Very good location with the main entrance on KB Jacob Road. This also means easy access towards the coast and almost straight line to the centre of cochin. Dax has been waiting and accommodating us at late hour arrival - with patience, good vibes and a tasty water melon juice. The room is very comfortable - and the candies provided are a delight.

Can't think of anything

Everything. From the moment after a 26 hour journey - it was perfect. The room was spotless and everything had been thought of. Most importantly - our hosts Dax and Dina were incredible. As was Dax’s friend who joined us at breakfasts (which were also excellent and so tasty). This was an experience - we learnt about local culture and experience. Suggestions on places to go and restaurants / local dishes. They helped us find a tailor (who was excellent), even gave us a lift there, arranged money to be exchanged. Nothing was too much. We booked because of the excellent reviews- trust me they are so well deserved. So glad we did not go for a soul less resort.

Leaving

We had the most wonderful time staying at Dax and Diana's lovely properly. The room was very aesthetically done up and very well maintained. The hosts were super gracious with their support, inputs on sightseeing/restaurants aa well as the delicious breakfast that Diana put together for us. Looking forward to coming back to their property once again! Thank you for the memories, Dax and Diana!

Very friendly owner and his family. Very nice and authentic south Indian breakfast. Very helpful in all matters :).

For Europeans the bed could be too hard. Green/coloured towels.

The property is exactly as depicted in the photos—serene, beautiful, and peaceful. The space is exceptionally clean and well-maintained. The hosts are highly proactive and helpful, ensuring all requests are promptly addressed - and going out of their way to make a request I had to happen within a couple of hours. This is true service and I am deeply appreciative. The breakfast is too GOOD! The location is easy to find on Google Maps, making it convenient for visitors. Overall, this is an excellent destination, and I look forward to visiting again.

Exceeded our expectations! The room was spacious, spotless and tastefully decorated. The amenities were modern and well-maintained, and the food yummy. What truly made our stay special, however, was the hosts' genuine warmth, kindness and stories about Fort Kochi.

Really friendly hosts, the rooms were beautifully decorated. Very clean and comfy beds. Highly recommend!

Our stay at Terance Dale in Fort Kochi was absolutely delightful! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the exceptionally friendly and helpful hosts, who went above and beyond to make our visit comfortable. The breakfasts were a highlight—fresh, delicious, and prepared with great care and love. The property itself is charming, impeccably clean, and perfectly located for exploring the vibrant culture of Fort Kochi. The room was spotless, with the cleanest linens and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It truly felt like a home away from home. We can’t wait to come back and would highly recommend this gem to anyone visiting the area!

The cleanest and most comfortable place we stayed in India. Hosts were lovely and the breakfast exceptional.

We really appreciated our stay in this homestay... The room is charged with the charme of the old time atmosphere, plenty of small delightful details in the furniture and arrangements. Super clean. The hosts, Dex and Diana, make you feel really at home. Warm welcome, juicy breakfast with plenty of choice. Dex is incredibly helpful, arranging a beautiful tour in the backwaters and plenty of good advice on local restaurants and things to do. Top experience, I'm already dreaming of coming back! The address is very central in Fort Kochi, you can easily walk to all points of interest.
