Johnson's Homestay was a perfect base for our stay in Alleppey. The beds were very comfortable, the AC worked well, and the brand-new pool was a fantastic bonus. Johnson is one of the kindest hosts we've met—always ready to help with a smile and full of great local advice. He's also a really interesting person to chat with, full of great stories, and his lovely family made us feel right at home.

Highly recommended! Calm, super location, greatly maintained and very clean property with polite and efficient staff. We were met with a cordial reception and breakfast, although we turned up way early after having arrived by night train. We were given a small room to rest and refresh until ours - upgraded from what we had booked, with sea view! - was ready. Our daughter in particular loved the pool! Great place for families seeking relaxation. Food is good, too.

We had booked this guest house for myself, kid and parents. The room was exceptionally clean and cosy. 200 m to reach Padmanabha Swamy Temple (West Nada). ATM, Restaurants were near like 100 m to the guest house. Staffs were supportive, welcoming and service was top notch. The owner was very humble and polite. I would definitely recommend this place for family.

I had a wonderful stay at this place! The location was perfect, close to thiruvalla town , and the neighborhood was quiet and safe. The apartment itself was clean, well-decorated, and equipped with all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. Host was very responsive and provided great recommendations for local restaurants and activities. I highly recommend this to anyone visiting this place.

I can’t recommend this homestay enough! The hosts were so welcoming and kind, they offered us tea and cold fresh fruit on arrival. The property is in a great location, walking distance to all the main areas.

Jibu is an amazing host, he really went above and beyond to show me around and help me out with everything, very kind. I definitely recommend going on the canoe tour he offers to organise, it's a much more authentic experience than going on a houseboat, and much cheaper too. The room is very spacious and clean, and great location close to the centre and the beach. Highly recommend, thank you Jibu!

Super nice! Very cozy and comfortable guesthouse, well-located away from the busy cliff tourist area (but still within walking distance). Our room was spacious, and the bed quality was excellent. The guesthouse is quiet and located just 1 minute away from the beach in a charming garden. Food is available, and laundry service is provided. We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely come back if we return to Varkala!

Lovely place in a great location on the north cliff in Varkala, around 5 minute to the beach. Extremely close to all the restaurants/shops along the cliff but set back slightly so it is nice and quiet. Nice room with good fan, hot water and Wi-Fi. Nice little outdoor area outside the room with table and chairs which was shared with another room. Free water refills. Able to pay by card. The host was very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend.

Great location, beautiful surrounding atmosphere, great Host(Peter sir). Most friendly and helpful, lovely and great first impression, Everything about the home stay was exceptional. It was clean, stylish, roomy with excellent service in where we had breakfast. Food was good and great value for money and service was attentive and efficient. Room itself was well equipped and comfortable. I was very pleased with my stay. I hope to be back for a longer visit in the future. Last but not least Vickey(Pet Dog) itself an attraction.

Great location, in between the beach and the town on a quiet road. Very spacious and comfortable room, with hot shower. The house looks lovely with a nice front patio and large garden. The host is very supportive of any request and need, and can advise on local attractions, where to eat etc.
