I just stayed at this place for a night. The room was comfortably spacious, well equipped and furnished well!!!

Great place to stay if you want to catch the train from Ernakulam Junction station.

All wonderful! Thanks!

A lovely place located in the heart if the city. Great host. Homely atmosphere.

We were very well, super large room, comfy bed, everything clean and tidy with fridge in the room, outside has a little to cook kitchen, we could use the washing machine to wash our clothes and the site is good in a quiet area but close to shops and hosts a delight, helpful and attentive. Would definitely recommend it !;)

We were very agusto all great, house, cleaning, bed treatment were so good we decided to extend my stay! Volveríamos..gracias certainly !!

Choose Mary Aunty's residence if you love skylights, cozy balconies, painstakingly collected trinkets, and trips down memory lanes. Add to that the central location of the house, it's proximity to Kochi metro and other forms of public transport, and you've got a winner in your hand. Our hosts were caring, and a delight to be with. Thank you Mary aunty for your hospitality and for making our stay all the more pleasant.

Mary aunty is a wonderful host .i am very pleased and happy with my stay .i was tired of staying at hotels all over the world and needed a home to get away from the feeling of loneliness and clostophobia.i was really looking forward to living in an open space with touch of my home and I got exactly what I wanted .the house has a positive vibe to it .its very spacious and peaceful with lot of sunlight to feel fresh and the quietness to be relaxed.both uncle and aunty have been very kind and helpful to my needs.the very first look at aunty while she stood in her vibrant saree to receive me made it feel like home and our long chats just kept it alive.she is also very mindful not to intrude into my space or lone time.its a perfect place for a quite and calm gateway.location is also quite close to the main areas of the city..house is beautifully decorated with light colours and antiques.only one suggestion to all the travellers to bear in mind that it's a house not a hotel!!! kindly treat it like your own and u won't be disappointed.

This place is the best. Very clean and well equipped. Mary aunty and thomas uncle are very nice host and I couldn't ask for more. This place is amazing and it's exactly like in the pictures. I definitely recommend staying there. Hope to stay here again soon.

Great place and great host in short. Spacious, clean, bright, great location close to metro and downtown. The host was very helpful and does not intrude into your privacy. Fresh air, lots of sunlight makes it a positive place to stay. All amenities are good and quality of stay was great. Would definitely consider coming back.

Mrs Mary and her lovely husband are a great couple who love having like-minded people stay with them. Their lovely home is centrally located and very close to the metro. They have a moderately large bedroom with a large living and attached kitchen. This living room is spacious and has natural daylight. The kitchen is nice and adequate for moderate levels of cooking. Overall great house to stay and an even better couple to have as hosts.

Amazing place. Very clean. Friendly and helpful host.

Nice house to stay.

Really enjoyed my stay at Paul's Fathima House and Paul was very easy to communicate. The house is well equipped and clean. The housekeeper was always willing to help while allowing me the privacy at the same time.

房东提供了很好的帮助,带我们去镇子上采购晚饭,前后花费了一个多小时,非常感谢!

The great : location, rooms, the entire property (the photos don't do justice!), the hospitality of the caretaker Jose, the communication from Jimi and the comfort. The not so great : WiFi speed and the fluctuation in WiFi connection (don't know if it's a kerala thing) Overall: easily better than most business hotels around for a very competitive price.

Jimi's apartment was in many ways perfect, and matched the description on the listing. Spacious, clean, and very well done interiors. Also, it overlooks a small garden making it perfect for your mornings. Additionally, the surroundings are serene and green, shutting down the city noise with ease. The caretaker was mostly around and available for any help. Would surely recommend this for anyone looking for a great stay in the middle of the city.

This wonderful house we stayed somehow saved us from a disaster! If we stayed in a house with less ventilation and space in extremely hot Cochin it would have been entirely different experience! The house is newly built with modern touch in each and every corner. The very spacious living room, kitchen and wonderful attached toilets with modern fittings and not to forget the air conditioners made things very comfortable there! And yes not to forget the netted doors as extra protection to ensure we are safe from mosquitoes. Our family instantly fell in love with the place. Our lovely host (Jimi's mother) ensure that she was available all the time at our service. She was so kind and ready to help whenever asked! It indeed was home away from home!

Jimi's apartment was just perfect for us! a very clean apartment. Check-in was easy and the concierge is very very friendly! I will certainly come wiedermal ...

It is a well appointed and well maintained home. Had a wonderful stay for 3 days. The landscaping around the house is very well done and very well maintained too. Check in was a breeze and communication was prompt.

Jimi's place it the most value for money residence. Very good for groups and families located in a good part of the city making safety not an issue. Totally recommending it.

Jimi's place is a wonderful Airbnb property in Cochin. Its in the center of the city (right behind the Kaloor stadium). The place is very spacious, well furnished, well maintained and a great value for money. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a good stay in Cochin.

Best stay ever in our lives ..A 5 star accomodation at such an awesome place ..Host is so helpful and communicative..Total vfm

Sharath Joseph and his family provided me with one of the most seamless travel experiences I have ever had. Anything I needed or wanted, it was provided. From the moment I stepped off the train and met the driver they arranged, I felt welcomed and at home. The property is beautiful and relaxing (right on the water), and my room was spacious and had everything I needed. I had several meals at the Sea Hut as well, and each one was absolutely delicious. I truly enjoyed my time at Sea Hut, and if I ever find myself in Kochi again, I will absolutely stay there.

..very friendly, helpful hosts, wonderful location and tasty food :-)) ,, many greetings from germany :-))

The Sea Hut is a wonderful place to stay. Restored to a very high standard and located literally right on the ocean, you can drift off to sleep (in the very comfortable 4-poster bed) to the sound of the waves. The host family can't do enough for you. They were happy to prepare an evening meal at a moment's notice - it was so nice there, we didn't want to eat out. And, the day of our check-out, we were even able to host a meeting in their garden - refreshed by the cold lemon/lime drink that was brought out to us as a welcome surprise in the sunshine! We could only stay for one night but we would have been very happy to stay for much longer!

The family was wonderful. They could not wait to fulfill my every need. A few days into the stay, I expressed sadness for not having a more familial relationship with them as we had communicated about that before I came. When I told them that, once again, they immediately responded with welcoming n love. The sea hut setting is as lovely as can be. Their home is on the Arabian Sea n their yard is filled with fruit trees n many wonderful herbs n medicinal plants.

My time spent at sea hut was unfortunately, not enough. My 3 days went exceptionally quickly. The location was perfect, walking distance to several small shops. Very quiet, with a pretty garden and friendly pets. I simply loved the hammock... listening to the gentle waves hitting the rocks each morning. The family put there hearts into making you feel welcome and they go that extra mile to help out with any problems. Thank you so much.

We stayed at Sea Hut for a total of 3 nights and we absolutely loved it. Sarath and his family are very kind and loving and will go all the way to make sure you are taken care of. They were able to arrange trips for us as well and really made our trip very memorable. It was really nice to spend time just chatting with them. Auntie Hema's cooking is delicious! The rooms are great and the view amazing! Highly highly recommend Sea Hut.

Sharath and his family could not have made us feel more welcome. They actually spoilt us quite a lot and it was a lovely way to end our four months on the road on our way back to Australia from Europe. Sharath and his family organised for us to be picked up at the airport - we were delayed by over an hour but the driver, Das, waited patiently for us and we were still only charged the originally quoted figure. Sharath recommended several tours and as we were only in Cochi for 3 days we took his advice and are very glad we did. The full day Backwater Tour was the most relaxing and green thing we had done for ages! Das took us to see the elephant training centre and we were close and personal to the elephants being washed in the river with a splendid mountain background. We also toured rubber and palm oil plantations, visited a fabulous waterfall, had a great lunch in the mountains and walked across a beautiful suspension bridge with an amazing outlook. We could not fault Sharath and his family, and had out breakfast and evening meals at the homestay. What at cook! The sunsets and the sea were added extras. Sea Hut was unbelievable value for money. Thank you all.

When we arrived in Cochin after a week Ayurveda treatment, with Hemma and her family, we were taken so warm and friendly. We could go with any concerns and problems to her or to Twinkel. Whether it is to book trips, dances or tailor-orders. Even with Joseph her husband or Sharath and Shilpa Angel her son and daughter, we learned a lot about life in Kerala. The trip to Munnar worked wonderfully and the many tailor fittings on their terrace were fun and we will never forget;-) Was topped all this just yet, alls Hemma us four women in their saris "wrapped", and we did a photo shoot for the special class in the stunningly beautiful garden of the family:-))) Me and my three friends were never recorded so warm and benevolent in a BandB and Sooooo ... super awesome serves excellent food, genuine hospitality and respectful interest in us and our culture. Truly a hidden paradise and we would choose this family immediately as the host of the year!

Was received by Aadi's mom at the Apartment around 11 pm. The car driver got lost, but Aadi's mom helped out over the phone. The Apartment itself is entirely netted, so no mosquitoes inside. It is on a clean and very non-commerical street, set amongst other MIG houses/apartments with regular families: feels good and safe to stay here. The commercial area is one street away on a main road, with bus stands, autorickshaws, shops etc all located on this main road. A supermarket, several small shops, pharmacist (medical store), ATM etc within 100 metres of the Apartment. There is also a dry-cleaner, several more ATMs and banks, a traditional Kerala restaurant called Kettu Vallam, salons etc within 500 metres or so. The main commercial centre is Kadavanthara Junction, about 1.5 km away- you'll find almost anything here! Don't forget to buy half-cooked packaged chapati (flat Indian unleavened wheat bread) from Chappathi point (100 metres away), made fresh onsite throughput the day. No preservatives. Cook on a hot pan, tossing once- no oil required. You can have fully fluffed up, soft and delicious chapatis in a minute! Probably the best in South India!!! Aadi's mom is always available on the phone, and helpful. Overall, a safe and convenient location in Kochi, and good value for money. Will be coming back!

Great accessibility. Safe neighbourhood. All basic amenities required and beyond were available. The host Aadi's mom was extremely helpful and pleasant. Would love to go back!

Aadi's place is a lovely stay. Aadi's mother was an amazing host, always just a phone call away for directions or any questions. The place is just as is listed on the site. The house is located very near to a row of shops (food, supermarket etc). It is also walking distance to the railway station, bus stand and many other places if you're willing to explore. A good experience of living in a kerala suburb.

The apartment, located in a quiet area, close to train stations, bus stations, and business west of the city. The accommodation is spacious and clean, the reception from the mother Aadi was very nice and warm!

Very good location... Aadi is very prompt to answer queries... His mother is very welcoming in her house.. House is very clean, easy for public transport. I got more than expected.

The apartment is located in a clean, calm neighbourhood just 5 mins walk from KSRTC bus stand and 10 mins walk from South railway station. Aadi's mom was very helpful. I had a comfortable stay. Will be staying at the same place when I am in Cochin again.

Everything was nice and comfortable. Aadi's mother is really a great woman, who help us with everything. Thank you!

I stayed at Athithi Homes for a day. I was quite pleased with the look & feel and the arrangements of the apartment. It was quite spacious too. Felt really relaxed staying here as it was very cozy. Everything was all neat and tidy. They had all the facilities we wanted. One of the things that attracted me was their wonderful neighborhood and surroundings. Being in the middle of the city, the accessibility was another main attraction. I would defenitely recommend this place to all.

It was wonderful stay at Athiti homes. We had a family get together and were looking for an entire house for stay. It was a perfect choice for us. The house is very huge and very clean with 3 bedrooms and large living room and kichen area. The host Mr and Mrs George were very nice and helpful. Always enquired if we wanted food. This place is located in the cochin city but yet away from the noise of the city. Very good neighbourhood too. Will definitely come back to stay if in Cochin and also I recommend this place to everyone.

I stayed around the Globe with and without reservations for AirBnB , and this one stands out one among the best accommodations closer to my home (URL HIDDEN) a full house and Nikitha's folks ensured we are comfortable all the time , We never felt as if we left our (URL HIDDEN) that sums it all, Nikitha herself even though is on different continent , still made sure we are well attended through her Mom & Dad !! So thumps up for that ..I would for sure recommend this for anyone looking out for staying around Cochin !

It is a fabulous accommodation. Nikitha is such a friendly and helpful host. She recommended all the places as per our taste to eat and enjoy the town. Coming to the property its a beautiful 3bhk on the first floor in a peaceful area. It consists of three large bedrooms with attached bathrooms, a large kitchen and the attache with a washing machine. Availability of an RO, a toaster and a microwave helps you a great deal. Private and clean house you can enjoy with your family members without any interference always knowing that Nikitha is ever available in the background for any help. The house is very conveniently located near the railway station in Ernakulum to roam around Kochi. We were only there for a day as I had booked the place for a stopover in Kochi for a day before I move onto my vacation in the tranquil lands of Kerala. To my pleasant surprise, I found myself asking for more, much more as a day is just not enough to savour the delicious Kochi nor the comforts at Nikitha's home. Will definitely plan a longer trip the next time!!

Nikitha and her family were the best hosts! This was our first AirBnB experience and we were thoroughly impressed! The space was exactly as described, the neighborhood was very central and there was nothing the family didn't do, to make us feel comfortable. The rooms are spacious and very clean. We were always greeted with smiles and pleasant faces. Our German friends who were with us and visiting India for the first time were impressed and touched by the hospitality. We would definitely stay here on our next trip to Ernakulam.

Fantastic hosts. Nikitha and family were super accommodating. I think the pictures don't do justice to how good the place is. It was spick and span, very nicely done up and beautifully/centrally located. We had a very good time. They even cooked up some amazing pork curry when we said we wanted to try some :) Would definitely visit again. Thank you guys for having us over. See you all soon hopefully

Fine hospitality. Location is close to Ernakulam south railway station. Received well. My wife was having pain in the ankle, Nikithas mother herself has taken us to the nearby hospital and was there till we could have consult the doctor. Great hosts.

It was a memorable event and we really enjoyed the stay at Athithi Homes, Kochi, Kerala. The host Ms. Nikitha George was always there for all sorts of helps and it made our trip very enjoyable. She is very knowledgable about the city and the neighborhood and every one around know them. Though the place is in the middle of the city, it is quite, serene and comfortable. As regards the accommodation, the apartment is large, around 1500 sq. ft. with 3 large size Bed Rooms and attached baths, fully furnished kitchen, Dining area, sit out, etc. etc. Cleaning and maintenance was perfect every day. All kinds of home delivery foods available any time during day and night. Transportation, shopping, movie houses, etc. etc. are nearby or within a small ride. Altogether we enjoyed the stay and the host was very helpful and cooperative. They treated us just like family. We have no hesitation to recommend this property to any body looking for a comfortable large place in the Ernakulam city/suburb area at a reasonable price. Also this location is prestigious residential area next to Panampilly Nagar. For verifications please feel free contact us (PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN) or (EMAIL HIDDEN)

I have booked this stay for a friend of mine and he is extremely satisfied with the amenities and the professional approach

Thank you so much Johnson, The flat was so comfortable, quiet, clean and convenient. You help me a lot also, I didnt get the chance to stay longer and see you much but i am thankful for the quality of my stay. I definitively recommand

Family was really friendly and gave us lots of info on arrival. The communal kitchen was well equipped and roomy. We like our cups of tea! The hot water and Internet intermittent. There was a wardrobe/cupboard in the room which was handy. Aircon worked well. Very close to restaurants and the Chinese nets. Would recommend!

Most people stay in Fort Kochi for one or two days, but my boyfriend and I stayed over a week at Aaron's Homestay and it was a great decision. The property was easy to find with plenty of signage leading you to the homestay. Johnson greeted us and, even though we were early due to unforeseen circumstances, made sure our room was incredibly clean and ready for us right away. He helped us arrange all tours and even transportation back to the airport upon our departure. The room itself was large, great for two people, and clean as could be. The bathroom had nice tile work and modern amenities. The homestay was an easy walk into Fort Kochi, just a few minutes away. He provided exceptional attention to our needs, no matter when they arose, and his kids are adorable. I'd 100% recommend this as your place to stay in Fort Kochi!

Aaron's is a very neat and a reasonable place to stay. It's value for money. Room is extremely comfortable and exceeds expectations. WiFi works extremely well. Its walkable to all near attraction And host is really sweet and helpful. I enjoyed my time and recommend it to all..

The room was very clean. Johnson was helpful, friendly and courteous and he might have gone out of his way couple of times to help us. He and his family were approachable and forthcoming with information. The place had a kitchen, adding to the convenience. We would definitely recommend the place.

Aaron's home stay is in a great spot right in the centre of Cochin, but tucked down a nice quiet back alley. Aaron was welcoming and helpful in arranging Airport pick up and confirming bus details for me. The room was just as advertised and the bathroom modern and very clean. Less of a traditional home stay and more a relaxing comfortable lodging where you are left to do your own thing, which suited me for this bit of the trip.

I only stayed two nights at Aaron's Homestay but Johnson kindly greeted me for my late arrival at 5am! The Homestay was very accessible to many of the sights. The room was clean, quiet and comfortable which was just what I needed.

One of my most enjoyable Airbnb stays. The place is managed by a wonderful family. Leslie is a goodhearted man who keeps his word, with a lot of empathy and very nice to talk to. He helps wherever he can, initiatively and gladly. I felt very safe, relaxed and taken care of. His wife is a great cook and treated me like my own mother. I recommend this place to everybody who is hesitant of using Airbnb in India. I would stay here again and woth the family many wonderful guests. Thank you

Great place to stay while visiting Fort Kochi. The host, Leslie, is very helpful in arranging transport as well as knowledgeable in local sightseeing and tours. Home cooked food at his place is worth trying out. The residence is located in a quiet locality. On the whole, I would recommend this place to my friends.

Good location and spacious house.Vomfortable stay.

The hosts were cordial and made us comfortable with the stay. They guided us with information on tourism attractions and needless to say about the tasty breakfast - puttu and curry.

Ms Juliet was very nice and she made us feel very comfortable. As my friend reached earlier than me, she made sure her check in and even offered her tea. Very easy to locate on (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps. She helped us with direction and bus stand location. Even provided contact details of Boathouse in Allepey. Breakfast was local kerala cuisine which she arranged for us before her normal time of Breakfast as we had to leave earlier. Her Son Mikish visited us and made sure we are comfortable.

A very good place to stay and spend a few days in Cochin. The house is near to Fort Cochin and it's easy to travel around the area via autos, local city buses or just by walking. All the major tourist and shopping areas are around approx 1 - 2 km from the place which is a real bonus. The house is as listed and the host is very welcoming. Our check in was a breeze despite the fact that we almost ran a few hours off from our intended check in schedule. The rooms are neat and tidy with all mentioned amenities. The only issue as such that we faced was the lack of hot water in the bathroom. However, it was addressed quickly and that highlights the hospitality of the host. We opted for the breakfast (charged extra) and were very happy to get a taste of the local Kerala breakfast. We were also given some traveling tips as well. All in all, a good experience for a visit to Cochin.

Thank you for the stay and the breakfast!

The place is in very convenient place. The hosts are nice and helpful. The meals including breakfast are extra charged.

Nice place, and great hosts. We reached at 12.30 am due to a delayed flight and our hosts immediately made us feel at home. They made breakfast for us at a nominal price and gave us suggestions on what to do in Kochi for the day. Their hospitality was great. Overall it was a pleasant stay. The property is very pretty. It's just a little way away from the main tourist centre of Fort Kochi(around 2.5-3km), but since we had a car it was quite comfortable. Overall, I would recommend this place for backpackers/budget travellers(like me) looking for a safe, friendly place in Kochi!

Julie and her husband were very sweet and friendly. Juliet helped with our requests and organising a taxi. Our Stay here was very pleasant.

Very comforting environment and house. Juliet is very friendly and one of the best stays I have had. It's a very clean place and also has a nice terrace.

This was a perfect place for my first stop in Kerala. Joy and his wife are very helpful and generous people. The breakfasts were amazing and on Easter Day they shared a wonderful biriyani with us. Their house is in the perfect location for walking around Fort Cochin and the recommended restaurants nearby are wonderful - one of the highlights of my Kerala travels

very friendly

Joy and his wife are great hosts, and have a nice house. Calm surroundings but prime location. Breakfast was different every day, with good Keralan dishes. Joy also helped us with a train ticket when we had problems. Highly recommended.

The listing was accurate. The room was extremely clean. Hot water was a wonderful plus considering we came from a place with no hot water. The room was simple but very comfortable. Joy was very welcoming. He came out to the road to meet us when we got lost. The breakfast was delicious. Definitely recommend.

The best thing about this homestay was Jose and his wife's warm hospitality. My friend's flight was delayed. Joy ensured her cab driver had the right instructions and stayed up with me until she reached the house. I really appreciated that! The room itself was basic but clean. Some mosquitoes although the windows were netted. Well-located, several restaurants and the beach within easy walking distance.

Joy and JC were warm, welcoming and made me feel very much at home. They took time to visit with me and brought me morning tea, the most amazing breakfasts with a smile. The room was impeccably clean, quiet and perfect for a relaxing time. Their place is walking distance from all of the places to see. They were always available to have a chat and help me know all of the things to see and do nearby.

Joy and his family are amazingly wonderful people. They made our stay safe comfortable and smooth. They were so helpful and kind and really looked after us, as we were 2 women traveling alone. Jaycy's breakfast was always delicious and lovingly prepared. We truly felt like we were part of the family. I highly recommend staying here and look forward to returning soon.

We had a wonderful time during our stay with Joy and his family who were very welcoming and helpful. The rooms were very comfortable and it was great to have the use of the lounge and kitchen during our 2 week stay. The location of the home stay is good for accessibility to shops and places of interest . Joy was very knowledgeable of the local area and places to visit on a day trip. We would certainly recommend staying there during a visit to Fort Cochin .

I had a very nice stay with Henry and his family, a whole floor of the house is dedicated to guests and the rooms are clean and comfortable, as far as I m concerned it was a better quality homestay than any hotel i ve stepped into within the same budget or about. Henry was also very kind and helpful, helped me run several errands, giving information, i did feel like part of the family. You can also get meals cooked by his wife as an extra when you ask for it, or get laundry done for 300 rupees if need be. I would recommend the place to my friends :)

Great place!

The hosts are very helpful. the house was very clean. They helped us in renting the 2 wheeler. Kitchen had all the facilities and the location was very good, very near to main road and safe place for family.

Henry and Mini made me feel very welcome in their home! Henry was eager to give advice on different activities on Cochin and went out of his way to help me deal with the phone company. I highly recommend this home stay!

We stayed there for one day. It was walking distance to the beach and the basilica. Henry and his wife were fantastic hosts. They helped our driver find the way there; booked tickets to a Kathakali performance, which was incredible, and made us feel like we were home. The room felt comfortable and clean. We had the non-a.c. room and it was fine and no mosquitoes. Our stay was perfect.

Henry was a great host. There was no disturbance from his side. As soon as we arrived, we were offered Coffee and whenever we needed any help regarding travelling around Kerala, he had some reasonable suggestions, which were of great help.

Many thanks for Henry for our short stay! It was very comfortable, clean and location is also cool.

Professional host offering excellent value for money! The breakfast was delicious & authentic. Location was 2 mins walk from the bus stop for the airport bus. All of Fort Cochi attractions were walking distance. Henry helped organize everything for us as well a car for our onward trip to Thekkady & Alleppey. Room was super clean with attached bathroom, AC was a reasonable add-on. I highly recommend this to all travellers. Un alojamiento muy limpio y el anfitrión super majo. Nos ha ayudado a organizar todo. Muy buena relación calidad-precio y muy cerca de todo lo que hay que ver en Kochi. Muy recomendable!!

Can't say enough good things about this place. Easily one of the best homestays we have stayed so far. The house has been recently renovated and has a very modern look. Every part of our room, and the shared room area, is clean. We stayed here for 5 nights. My friend and I felt at home from day one. Mary Grace is such a sweet host. Our chats felt like talking to an old friend and she ( and all other family members) was so helpful when we were trying to plan things and if we ever needed anything. If you are looking for a place in Kochi then I'd say don't even think twice about booking here - it's perfect! Thank you so much Marie Grace and family!

Very kind and helpful hosts. They weren't intruding at all. Tried their best to make our stay comfortable.

The place where you have to be in Kochi…

Actually, I stayed at Mary Grace´s homestay twice, and that should say all. The rooms are clean and modern, the beds are comfy and the common area is perfect to meet fellow travellers. But the real reason to come back were Mary Grace and her family! They are honest, warm, helpful and genuine people, who are interessted in the guests that stay with them. I felt welcomed from the moment I first stepped into their door.

Single women should watch out for Mari Grace's husband...too friendly and then crossed the line with two women on the same day.

My overall experience here was absolutely amazing!!! MaryGrace and her husband Jolly are some of the nicest people I have met. They went above and beyond for all my needs and even cooked me special meals for a week AND cooked vegetables and fruits for me one night (i am on a special diet) even though they were about to leave for a church event. So sweet and so considerate. Honestly, I love these people. They made me feel like I was right at home. Their youngest son is adorable too. He helped me find a bowl I needed for some almonds I was soaking even though he didn't fully understand what I was asking for, we looked through the kitchen until he found it. Also, the grandmother is there a lot and even though she doesn't speak English she is always willing to help where she can. The food is amazing. The family is amazing, The location is great and the value is one of the best around. Multiple travelers tried to stay here while I was here but the place was booked so the family helped them find another place to stay. To top it all off I am returning in a week before I fly to northern India and asked if I could stay one night before I fly out. They said they would help me no matter what the circumstances were. Stay here!!!

We really enjoyed our stay at Mary Grace' homestay. Everything was just like described and shown in the photos. The room was clean and in every room, there is a window prepped with a mosquito net. The door connecting the sitting area to the balcony has also a mosquito net. Mary Grace and her family are very warm and welcoming, and when I got sick, they helped my friend taking care of me very well! I felt really safe and "in good hands". So I can really recommend this homestay.

Excellent hosts and simple clean home. They provide all the essentials: towel, soap, breakfast. And a delicious home cooked meal (at an extra cost, but great price, 600rs for 2 people). It's also located in a good location, 15-20 minute walk to the tip of the fort where the fishing nets and tourist spots are. Plenty of cool little side streets to walk around and explore, as well as tuk tuk drivers if you don't want to walk. Mary Grace speaks excellent English and both her and her husband are eager to help with any of your travel needs. The only down side is that the room is pretty warm (made it difficult to sleep). There's a great high powered ceiling fan and the window has a screen so you can keep it open, it's just stays pretty warm in the room.

Nice room In a nice locality. Good hospitality. I am satisfied with everything.

You could not ask for a better host. Clean and good value for money.

Exactly what I needed for a budget stay.

.

Clean room, fast wifi and the best host who helps you with every thing. We didn't now anything about Kerala, nothing about fort cochin and he was a perfect guide! He was not only friendly to us, but also to so many shopkeepers etc. Arranged backwater tour for us, booked a bus ticket and had almost everything we needed. plus morning chai/coffee

A nice place to stay a couple of days in Cochin. Clean room and bath. The owner and his family are really helpfull and friendly. I had nice conversations with them. Sometimes some small lizards in the room, but so no Moskitos, you can sleep very well. Thank you for the great time!

I really enjoyed my stay here. Firoz is very friendly and available to his guests and I felt completely safe. Although I did not interact with them much, his family was always full of smiles when I passed through the yard on my way out. They made me feel very welcome.

The room was clean and as it was described. The host was super friendly and always helpful. For example he helped us get a Uber or to book a Backwater Tour. The terrace was pretty nice to chill out and relax in the evening. In all aspects it was a great place to stay.
