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.

Very high standard throughout. In my experience, the best homestay in India (and I've stayed in quite a few). All the fixtures, fittings and furniture are top quality. My room was reasonably big with a balcony overlooking trees and the bathroom is super clean. The property is only four years old so everything looks fresh and new. Lakshmi has good taste in interior design and her Kerala breakfasts-different each of my five mornings-were delicious. Highly recommended. A 10-15 minute walk to the heart of Fort Kochi . I'll be back!

    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.

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.
