My stay at Dreamcatcher was absolutely delightful. This is the 2nd time I'm staying with my family. The owner and his wife always go above and beyond to ensure everything is perfectly arranged for a comfortable and hassle-free stay. Their warmth and friendliness have always made us feel right at home from the moment you arrive. Tgis time we requested Owner to arrange the baywater trip, kathakali dance and martial arts. Last time we liked the Ayurvedic massage treatment, so we requested it this time, too. If you're someone like me who likes to do yoga early morning, their rooftop is the best for it! Their rooms and toilets are clean and tidy! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a welcoming and accommodating home away from home !

I had such a good stay at Prakriti Homestay. The room was very clean and everything was so nicely organized. There’s a shared space with a fridge and kettle which was very useful for me. The owners are such kind and caring people, you could easily ask them anything you might need help with. I enjoyed a delicious Kerala breakfast each morning. Overall it’s a very good price for what you get. I only booked 2 nights but extended because I felt so comfortable.

Josey's Homestay is a bit special - Josey and her brother really look after their guests - I had to leave for an early morning flight and they kindly made breakfast for me. They offer to do clothes washing if you need it for an extra INR 200. I could make tea in the littke kitchen and there is a communal dining / seating area. The rooms are simple and clean, the bed was very comfortable and the shower works well. I used the ceiling fan - if you need A/c their is an extra charge. I prefer fans. It was in a great location in the old Fort area and e cellent value for money.

A very warm and friendly lady runs the place. Easy to talk to with a great sense of humor. We rented a fully furnished apartment and could also sit in the garden just outside our door. Cute cats and all kinds of birds around the garden. She cared for all our needs such as breakfast and went to buy what she didn’t have to make us fruit lassi. We really recommend this charming home stay.

I had a great stay at Sajhome! The property is well located within a central area of Fort Kochi - just a few minuets walking distance from all the cool spots in the fort. The property owner was really helpful and provided recommendations for sightseeing and routh planning. The room was clean, had all the basic amenities needed, and the wifi was working well. Breakfast was excellent, with a choice between Indian or Continental breakfast style.

The most lovely family run this beautiful homestay. Ours hosts could not have been more helpful: they booked a kathakali show for us, organised a taxi to Munnar, helped to change money. The facilities are typical of a home stay but maintained to a very high standard. It is very clean and comfortable. Consistent hot water. Good WiFi. In a safe area. We would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a simple, great value option.

Mr Roy was a great host. We travelled with 4 kids and all of us felt like our own home. Mr Roy helped us to arrange airport transport and auto (tuk tuk) for nearby movements. He also gave lots of suggestions for tour at Fort Cochin and nearby city. Breakfast was good. I am grateful to choose Leelu Homestay.

This homestay was a home away from home. I really enjoyed my time here, very calm and relaxing. Lakshmi is such a lovely host, very helpful and friendly, served delicious Keralan breakfast at a time to suit me. The room was very clean and comfortable with everything I needed, hot water, air conditioning and ceiling fan. Also filtered water available for drinking, plus tea and sugar to help yourself. If I return to Fort Kochi I will book again here.
