Homestays in Kerala, India

An awesome place to stay, a lovely family and great value rooms, clean, spacious and characteristic. Close to central Fort Kochi, all the amenities and sights to see are within walking distance, can also get to any of them for about 30-50 rupees. Nice size wet room, clean and functional. Food in the morning was superb. Thank you very much, we will be coming back!

Very convenient location, 600 meters from maharaja's college metro. Friendly and cordial stuffs. Sincere thanks to krishnendu for the room upgrade. Comfortable room, clean bed and clean bathroom.

Beautiful Hestay with scenic view just 75m away of sea from cliff. The manager of Aryavilla Mr Mohammad was exceptional wirh his personal touch as far as addressing minor ossues with regard to stay.

I chose this hotel only because it was within walking distance of the airport and reasonably priced, so I didn't have high expectations. But when I tried to check in, they said they didn't have a reservation. They said, ”Don't worry, we have a room for 1900 rupees.” Even though I told them the pin code and reservation number, they just said, ”We don't have a reservation, so just pay quickly.” A manager came from somewhere and checked the system, hitting the front desk staff on the head, so it may have simply been overlooked, but the truth is unknown. I lost about 30 minutes. The room was spacious and the air conditioning worked well, but the bathroom seemed to be cleaned only occasionally. It was good that the hot water was perfect even in the middle of the night. The amenities were a small soap. There was no toilet paper. Bath towels were provided, but they were an old, stiff towel, which is rare even in India these days, and two slightly newer ones. One of the deciding factors was that there was a Saravana Bhawan chain store nearby, which has a global presence, but I'm not sure about using it again. This website states that there is a free shuttle bus to the airport, but it actually costs 200 rupees. It's cheaper than taking a taxi, but it doesn't look good if you think it's free. Of course, it's better than no shuttle bus at all.

The stay was very peaceful, and the environment was very calm and cool. The staffs were very helpful, the attached restaurant was very good for lunch and dinner requirement. Very close to the beach, walking distance only 300mts.

There's a beach on the doorstep. Could hear waves. Not loud though. Kind hostess. Great support staff. More of a homestay. Great room. The place is teeming with cultural artefacts. Beautiful. 5 minutes walk to airport. Swiggy accessible. Beach continues to shanmugam. Recommended. Had dinner. And lift to airport. Host insisted lift considering dogs and terrain. There for one night to catch an early morning flight. Didn't disappoint.

It was a wonderful stay. I was quite worried about the stay, because i paid below 500 only so expectations were very less. Once i entered it was like wow. Value for money quite neat bathroom and nice bed. I will suggest this one for my friends too.

It's really good place to stay in fort kochi, spencer home stay around many places are available for visiting, and fort kochi beach is a 300 meter like a walking distance. It's a great home stay and budget family

Good basic budget homestay. The owners are very friendly and helpful. They can help arrange an amazing day trip to the backwaters including the best lunch I had in Kerala.

We had a wonderful stay here. Best suited for birthday parties and other occasions with friends and family. Very clean property and staffs were excellent and very friendly.

Nice and clean

Very good, professional service and worry free stay. 1. caretaker was very very friendly. He had called in advance to ask when we would check in, shared the number we can use in case of any need and also told us he will be out on the road if we need help to locate the property. we eventually did have to call him because the house is located beside a slope and it's from a level down to the road from the direction we came( the other side of the house it's located above the road). but as soon as we called he was out on the road and helped us. 2. One point to note is that we have to park the car on the road. The house required climbing stairs up/down, so we cannot take the car past the gate. 3. the bathrooms are very clean ( bathrooms are the biggest fear for me). Their shower was very very good and unlike most places in tvm located near the beach, the tap water was not hard water. it was soft. they have hot and cold water. Towels were also provided, so also soap and travel friendly size of shampoo and moisturizer. 4. you can hear the waves loud and clear. you can also see the waves from your porch etc. you can also see the Vizinjam mosque dome and minarets from he property. also the lighthouse is very close by and can be seen from the property. 5. The beach is super near. Everything is at walking distance. Breakfast offered was bread, butter/jam. so we opted out. Drinking water was provided. There are cupboards inside for storage.Chairs and a table too. There is a door between the bottom two rooms that can be locked or unlocked. Hence it's great for families security wise. Overall, it's reliable and worry free.

Very good property being a Rajmahal earlier. Feeling like a king. Its not just hotel room. Moreover on walking distance of 5 minute from Holy temple of Padmanabhan. Room and wash room was Very clean with hot water and AC facilities. Breakfast was good enough…..n tasty.

Superb location. Food not available. Ok amenities, hot water kettle not available. No food was available. . The stay was for purpose of pilgrimage. Location was important which was very nice, suitable. Rest things were okay. Better behavior of staff, few small amenities like hot water kettle etc could improve the experience further. Thanks. Done.
