Amazing hospitality

Very lovely hosts. Organised taxi from airport to home stay. AC and fan works great. Breakfast was extra and worth it as you’re filled up for the day. Must see local kathakali show which is organised at home stay.

Well located, excellent budget homestay

Homestay was very centrally located. Can easily walk to most places, or take a short tuktuk ride. Hosts were very friendly and helpful. They booked our Kathakali show and told us about the sights and the ceremony that was going on at the time. Everywhere was very clean. Could have done with another pillow. But Im sure if I'd asked, they would have given me one!

Fantastic stay, especially as our first stop in India! We stayed for a whole week to have time to catch up on work and still explore, and we couldn’t have picked a better spot. Staying for a whole week meant we also got a full room clean halfway through our stay which was lovely! Friendly and helpful family, laundry service (for a good price), chance to chat with other guests at breakfast, great walkable location. The family helped us organise tours - a backwater boat trip and Kathakali and both were a great price and really special experiences. Also breakfast was a real highlight - we opted for Kerala breakfast and got something different (& delicious and filling!) every day! Can’t recommend enough and would happily stay again.

Best homestay at the fort

Best homestay at the Fort. Good location, good facilities, best staff and owner. Helped us go on a boat trip, and after checkout went with us and the taxi to show us the way to a nearby hotel to pick up a friend to the airport. Loved Kochi, loved Bastian.

Absolutely lovely place run by lovely people.

We arrived very early in the morning after a 24 hour delayed flight and were greeted on the doorstep by the owners. They honestly couldn’t do enough for us. Helped us book train tickets and organise a taxi for our onward journey after staying for three nights. The room was clean, comfortable and quiet. Location convenient for Fort Kochi, town was in walking distance. We would definitely stay here again.

Value for money.

This budget homestay was clean, has helpful owners and provided a decent breakfast at very reasonable rates. My bathroom was new with modern fixtures and the rooms looked freshly painted. The owners live in a separate building opposite and are on hand if needed.There was loud music going on the second night of stay, but it cut out at midnight. It is a bit of a walk to the foreshore hub (less than 1km) but at that price who could complain.

Solo femal traveler

I booked through hotels.com for two nights then extended my stay by a further three. It's a little difficult to find at first because the homestay is down two ally's- but it's not impossible- just look out for the sign of the homestay and follow the arrows- it's very easy once u get there :) Homestay itself is lovely/ nice family, cute daughter and the rooms are safe. I even left my luggage in my room for 48 hours whilst I went down south for a bit and when I came back my room was untouched :) I didn't have the breakfast but I can only assume it would be nice :) Highly recommend this homestay
