The house is in a quiet area, away from any road or noise.

At the homestay, units are equipped with a desk. Every unit is fitted with a kettle, a private bathroom and free WiFi, while certain rooms have a balcony and some have garden views. At the homestay, each unit includes bed linen and towels. This 8-room inn was recently newly built, and my room was very clean and well-appointed. It’s in a good location in Fort Kochi, close to major sights. The couple that runs the inn were exceptionally welcoming and kind to me, and were very responsive over WhatsApp and in person. They helped me arrange an airport pickup, accommodated a late-night check-in, and booked for me at my request tickets to a Kathakali show and backwaters day trip (which was exceptional) and made all the logistics of my stay very easy. This was easily one of the best places I’ve stayed on my month-long trip to India.

A recently renovated homestay set in Thekkady, Mountain View Homestay features a garden. This property offers access to a terrace and free private parking. The homestay offers garden views, a picnic area and a 24-hour front desk. After the initial hustle and chaos of India, staying at Mountainview Homestay is a welcome place to unwind. Asfal and his friends are friendly and easy to talk to, and they give great tips on what to see and do in the area. The rooms are clean and spacious, and the atmosphere is wonderfully relaxed. Waking up to a view of the green trees, with a cup of good coffee is pure bliss. It’s incredibly peaceful, with the occasional playful troop of monkeys on the roof to break the silence, peeking curiously at you as they play. In short, the perfect spot to recharge before diving back into colorful, bustling India. P.S. Asfal also helped us with the next leg of our trip. He arranged a taxi driver to take us to the Alleppey, and along the way shared lots about the history of Kerala and India, tea plantations, and Hinduism. We made several stops and got to try local sweets – highly recommended!

Review for Homestay in Fort Kochi I had an excellent stay at this homestay in Fort Kochi. The host Sheetal was incredibly helpful, providing great recommendations for sightseeing, shopping, and even arranging a cab, which made my trip hassle-free. The warm and welcoming atmosphere truly made it feel like a home away from home. The location is another highlight—it’s conveniently close to all the main attractions in Fort Kochi, making it easy to explore the area. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and well-located stay with a touch of local hospitality.

Boasting garden views, Bella Boutique Homestay offers accommodation with patio, around 1.6 km from Mullakkal Rajarajeswari Temple. The property has inner courtyard views and is 4.3 km from Alleppey Lighthouse and 5.9 km from Alappuzha Railway Station. The accommodation features a shared kitchen, luggage storage space and currency exchange for guests. Bella Homestay is well appointed, spotlessly clean uand located in a quite residential area, within walking distance of the quay where all the backwater tours start from. The staff were very friendly and extremely helpful, and part of the charm of Bella is just talking to these people and learning something about how life in Kerala really works. We really enjoyed our stay at Bella, and if we ever visit Alappuzzha again, we would definitely stay here.
