Smoking-friendly holiday rentals in Kottayam

wonderful stay and greatttt view. had a peaceful get-together with my friends.

Beautiful homestay with 2 minutes walking distance to the great beach . Sebastian and family is very friendly and helped to explore locally with restaurants and with other places. Highly recommend this place who like to be in a safe and comfortable environment!!

We loved our stay on the Charlotte houseboat. The staff were so kind and helpful, they made us feel right at home! The houseboat was private which was so lovely and we really enjoyed the food. The space was also really comfortable !

Our stay at Vishnu’s place was great! We loved the calm environment of the farm. We could bike to the beach everyday and have nice local food around the property. The room was spacious and comfortable.

We had an unforgettable weekend at this incredible property in the Kochi backwaters. The location is absolutely stunning—peaceful, scenic, and surrounded by nature. The house itself was clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. Mr.Basil was welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. It was truly one of the best experiences we've had on Airbnb. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind in a serene backwater setting!

Had a wonderful stay ! The location is serene and right by the beautiful backwaters, which made for a peaceful and refreshing atmosphere. The property is private and quiet — ideal if you're looking to unwind away from the crowds. The rooms were spacious, clean, and well-maintained, and the bathroom was also spotless with good water pressure and all the necessary amenities. Everything felt comfortable and thoughtfully arranged. Bicycles were provided, which was a lovely touch — we enjoyed riding around the area and exploring the surroundings at our own pace. The place is also easily accessible by road, so getting there wasn’t an issue at all. The kitchen comes with all the basic utensils you’d need for cooking, but do keep in mind that condiments and spices aren't provided. So if you plan to cook, it’s a good idea to bring your own ingredients. Overall, it was a great experience. Highly recommend this place for a relaxing getaway!

Good place and nice amenities

What a lovely stay in the tranquil canals of the backwaters. While different from many other air bnb's we've stayed in (there is no private kitchen, for example), Praveen and his family's upstairs space is a nest of comfort! With two large rooms, each with separate bathroom, and a large common area, it is a half in and half out living space with a beautiful vista over the canal. Papa is an unbelievably generous and skilled cook, who delighted our tastebuds with "Kerela specials" and made our kids favorite requests (coconut pancakes!). He even made us some lemon and mango pickle for the road! Praveen's mother is a sweet kind presence, too. And not enough good words can be said about Praveen as host. Willing and generous with time, his network of connections allowed us to experience and enjoy all that this region has to offer...from kayaking to sunrise boating to errands in Allapy city--Praveen helped with every one of these with grace and humor. Thank you all!!

Sajo was helpful from day 1. Though there was a small challenge that we encountered during our stay, Sajo ensured that we were least affected by it and promptly took action to address and rectify the issue at hand. He was available on call throughout whenever needed. Would highly recommend to any traveller and you definitely should stay here if you are in the town to watch the famous Nehru trophy boat race, as the racing venue is just 10 min comfortable walk away
