This 8-room inn was recently newly built, and my room was very clean and well-appointed. It’s in a good location in Fort Kochi, close to major sights. The couple that runs the inn were exceptionally welcoming and kind to me, and were very responsive over WhatsApp and in person. They helped me arrange an airport pickup, accommodated a late-night check-in, and booked for me at my request tickets to a Kathakali show and backwaters day trip (which was exceptional) and made all the logistics of my stay very easy. This was easily one of the best places I’ve stayed on my month-long trip to India.

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!

Everything was amazing, and the homestay was honestly the best part of our stay in Kochi. HarryJohn and Mercy are incredible hosts and we loved talking to them. They have a beautiful house with chickens and a garden, which is serene to have breakfast next to in the morning. Overall, would highly recommend.

    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.

    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.
