Mellisa and her colleague were so very helpful and welcoming. It was fantastic value for money and Mellisa gave us all sorts of recommendations for food, sightseeing and even booked us a taxi for our onward trip. Highly recommended this place, you’ll feel well looked after and it’s a great location for Fort Kochi.

Reds is a fantastic Homestay in Kochi. The rooms are spacious with AC and we also had a balcony. It is well located and easy to Tuk-Tuk Around everywhere. Melissa is great at arranging any activities you need for your stay as well as a delicious breakfast. She really does go above and beyond to ensure the stay in excellent. Would definitely recommend.

Melissa was an incredible host. Super helpful taking the time to sit down with us to guide us on all the local sites and restaurants. The room was clean and comfortable and a yummy home made breakfast to wake up to.

My one night stay at Reds Residency has been one of the best experiences I have had traveling around India. Mellisa is the perfect host, you can tell she loves her job. This translates into personalized tips and feeling you are at home. I would def come back.

Unfortunately my room was at the front of the house overlooking the road so the road noise was quite consistent. The breakfasts were tasty but were no longer hot when arrived to the table. I never was able to get hot water out of the shower despite following instructions, but weather was so hot that a cool shower was acceptable. The location was a bit further away from the centre and local restaurants 15 mins walk away so rode a tuk tuk mostly

My host Mellissa was very responsive and helpful with suggestions for outings during my stay, arranging taxis and tuk tuks etc. I liked that the communal breakfast room allowed interaction with other guests. Early check in was available.

Mellisa was a great host and gave us great tips and local recommendations for Fort Cochin. The room was a great size and the A/C was much needed as it was hot whilst we were staying, even though it's 'winter'! Bed was comfortable. Great to have a fridge in the room to keep drinks cold.

There was nothing I didn’t like

What a wonderful place, with absolutely lovely staff. I was in the heritage cottage, on the v top floor, which was incredibly comfortable and clean with everything I needed. The owner / manager was really kind and helpful providing lots of information and help on my trip.

More flexibility around when breakfast is served would be nice for an early riser like myself.

Amazing, homely and welcoming. Melissa was so kind and helped plan our short time in Kochi to make sure we saw all the best sites and marked out the things to see & restaurants on a map for us. Comfortable, clean rooms and great location - short walking distance to main attractions.

Mosquitos! Fort Kochi is famous for that! Also, the room I booked was too small for my daily yoga practice. The next time I'm there, I'm definitely booking the larger rooms.

Reds Residency is one of the first homestays in Fort Kochi, started by a couple who love entertaining guests. The place has such a good vibe. Loved the breakfast, the cosy reading room and the garden. The owners were friendly, welcoming and really attentive to my needs. If you are looking for a home to stay in Fort Kochi, then this is it.

Nothing to fault with stay here

Melissa is the highlight of homestay as she is very helpful with planning everything and giving recommendations. Location was convenient as could walk to fort Cochin. Room has all basic requirements and good AC. The shared living room has games and books. Home has many plants and flowers so is beautiful.

I enjoyed meeting Marianne the owner . Her attention to our needs and plans was a great bonus

My room was next to the road so it was noisy but fine with ear plugs.

The owner was very obliging she let me check in early and gave me some breakfast because I had arrived so early. The location was ideal for sight seeing in fort kochi. Clean room.

They had created a beautiful environment, perfect for relaxation. Lovely breakfast!

The staff were friendly, informative and knowledgeable.

The bathroom could have been a little bit nicer, but that really didn't matter compared to everything else!

Melisa was an absolute dream - she was so helpful at telling us what we should go and see in Fort Kochi. Her breakfasts were delicious, too! Room was clean and loved the cute courtyard covered in flowers outside.
