Our stay at Leelu Homestay was fantastic. Roy is an incredible host - he is so informative, helpful, friendly and welcoming that it felt like we were staying with family and not a stranger. He took us to buy fresh seafood from the fish market and to a local restaurant to have it cooked how we like and he organised trips for us to see kathakali, go kayaking and more. His home is a beautiful old 3 storey building (plus a rooftop garden) right in the heart of Fort Kochi - a few steps away from amazing cafes and restaurants. The room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The breakfasts were always delicious. We’ve been travelling for months now and this accommodation is the most homely we’ve felt the whole trip. Highly recommend booking a room here.

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.

Great location, right in the heart of the Fort Kochi area. Roy and his team provided delicious breakfast which varied from Indian to lighter meals as we requested. He was also very helpful in helping us plan our time there which included organising our trip to Alleppy.

The host, Roy is very kind and has so many lovely stories to tell. He helps with anything there is to do in the environment. We went to the fish market and he bargained a good price for fresh prawns and he took us to a local fish restaurant to cook it for us!

Location, service to guests, courteousness

Hot water a bit sparse. I cannot eat chili and much of the breakfast seerved was local Indian style and not to my liking.

Location just right, easy walking to major sights, restaurants, etc. Nice home and genuine friendliness of the owner.

Location couldn't have been better as it is within walking distance of so many fantastic locations which is highly convenient. The host was very hospitable, polite, and incredibly helpful. He will advise and help arrange the logistics of any travel plan you have in the area, which made our trip much easier and stress-free. Overall great value for money and a unique experience. We would highly recommend!

Staying with Roy uncle was great - beautiful and very spacious house. The bedroom was big with a large bathroom, very quiet. The location is great, right in the heart of Fort Kochi so you can walk to most places. Roy uncle is very accessible with practical advice and great stories. Definitely recommend this place to everyone.

Host behaviour is tremendous. It feels to meet a relative 😊. You will get any support if You asked him. He went live sea fish market with Us and helped Us to bought good qualities on compititive price. He also arranged the cooking shop and the lobsters and red snappers test was so authentic as Kerala.

Perfect location. Can't be any closer to the touristy area of Cochin. Very friendly owner living in the same house - a real homestay.

Bigger towels and soap.

In the centre of Fort Kochi

Behind the homestay there’s a hostel, from which you can hear the sounds at night. And also a device which makes noise all night long. Couldn’t sleep with the window open, unfortunately.

Very friendly and helpful owners, room was clean and spacious with own bathroom. It’s close to most of the interesting things in Fort Kochi and else the owner knows where you can rent a bicycle to visit the rest.

ThIs homestay situation is excellent, at the heart of Fort Kochi, close to plenty of bars and restaurants. The host has been kind enough to upgrade me, the room was very big and confortable. The host also let me stay a bit longer in the room without extra charge and arranged a taxi to the airport for me. Overall very good experience and excellent quality/price return.

Leelu Homestay was just the perfect place to stay in Fort Kochi for a couple of days. It is the near the center but on a silent road. Leelu and her husband are lovely people who take good care of their guests and the old heritage building.

I payed more than what I agreed with Booking.com. I had a room that had nothing to do with the description read in Booking.com. I did not have access to the facilities I did pay for.

The location, the family ambience

Stayed in December 2022

i made resevation for a deluxe double room (and not a deluxe single room) because in bookng.com site it said that it has a view (garden, landmark or city). one day before my arrival i send a messege to the home stay ,asking for a room with the best view possible. the owner replied he "will do the needfull arrangements" but when i arrived he took me to a room with a window facing a wall (in other words with no view). when i said i cant stay in this room he took me to another room with a view of the street (to my knowledge there are no rooms facing a garden or landmark) but said this room is more expensive and i have to add 500 Rupees. i want to emphasize that i booked the most expensive room he has but he stil wanted me to add more money for the this room. since i dont stay in rooms without some view i added the money and took the room facing the street i later decided to extend my stay and wanted to book the room i was staying in in booking.com site. when i asked him which is the room in the site ( so i can make the booking in the site) he said that he already told booking.com that he doesn't allow them to give discounts to his guests and if i will make the booking through the site he will immediately canceal it. when i asked him again to show me which is the room i am staying in now he lost his temper and told me that he is tiered of my questions , that i am insulting him and that i should leave his house (the owner gave me a good impression when i arrived but this all changed when he lost his temper) . so i justi stayed for one night and left the next morning.

i divide my review to 2 parts. one for the room and one for the behavior of the owner . the room i eventually got ((after adding 500 Rupees). was fine. air-condition was working well . so did the wi.fi. location was also good. not far from the chinese fishing nets

we booked a room for 3 and while the room description was a large double bed and 1 single bed, we had a double bed and a mattress on the floor. The mattress was so uncomfortable that we all slept on the double bed and the extra costs (taxes and bed!) ended up doubling the price. The owner withhold our passports using excuses for the whole day and wasn’t reachable by phone. When I told him to ask through booking.com for the extra charges since nothing was written anywhere in the platform, he threatened me with the police

clean space and warm welcome
