Nothing.

The hosts are absolutely wonderful - so welcoming, helpful, and kind. They talked us through a map of the city on the first day and helped us organise a boat-trip around the famous backwaters for our second day. They were also very helpful the day we left, by night train, letting us keep one of the rooms for the entire day without extra cost. The property is beautiful, in a quiet location with a beautiful garden and rooftop terrace. The rooms are simple and a bit damp; one of ours smelled a bit of mould, but I suppose that is difficult to avoid in a place as humid as this. The ceiling fans really helped, and we appreciated the mosquito nets around the beds. Breakfast was a highlight: gorgeous home-cooked Indian food. (The children would have liked a Western option, but there was toast and fruit for them.)

Nothing really

Lovely family-run leafy haven close to town, restaurants etc. Shady rooftop sitting area, relaxed atmosphere, great hosts. Recommended.

Lovely, authentic homestay in a quiet green setting in Fort Kochi. Ashley and Sheeba exceptional hosts.

Stayed in February 2024

It is a homestay so some facilities are quite basic eg. the shower but we expected this. The air conditioning and fans were great and the rooms clean and comfortable. It was good value for money.

You couldn't wish for a warmer welcome. Sheeba and Ashley are so generous hearted they will go above and beyond to make your stay in Fort Cochin the best possible. Greenwoods is tucked away surrounded by greenery and the sounds of birds and yet it is no distance from the main sights. Breakfast on the roof was a treat and there was plenty of it.

I didn’t always like the breakfast, one day it was much too salty.

The garden was beautiful and the hosts super friendly, warm and helpful. The room and house in general was cozy.

Ashley and Sheeba are some of the kindest hosts I've ever met. Very family-like.They are great resources for information regarding Kochi, they are accommodating and will help with anything that you might need. The courtyard is like a little jungle. I booked a budget room, and it had everything I needed. Loved their home cooked breakfast. Simple but very tasty!

The facilities are a bit basic (bathroom is a wet room, as is common in Kerala), but the super-kind hosts, brilliant breakfast, and convenient location make for a different sort of luxury, especially given the very reasonable price. If you're looking for designer sheets, this isn't your spot. But if you want to meet some of the nicest people ever, relax amidst birds and greenery, and be very close to all Fort Kochi has to offer, you can't do better.

The innkeepers are superb and simply lovely people. They go out of their way to make guests comfortable, offer their own experiences and insights and are a pleasure to spend time with. I also can't say enough good things about the breakfast, which offered an assortment of fresh fruit, eggs, and a delicious Indian dish that was different each day.

Make sure you book a room with AC because Cochi is hot and humid! We booked a ground floor room which was a bit dark. It could use a deep clean.

Very friendly hosts, lots of info on what to do nearby and a little bit further away, great location! Very near to all the sights on the peninsula but quiet and green!

I was happy with everything.

The breakfast and rooftop terrace were exceptional, but most of all the hospitality was outstanding. Sheeba and Ashley’s were very kind and caring. Couldn’t help enough.

The rooms are basic, but that is what you pay so little for, so as expected and taken care of with love and pride. Price/quality I would still rate very good.

Amazing breakfast at the roof terrace. The couple that runs the place are beyond lovely and caring. You are not a mere guest. You are family. Truly warm and wonderful.

The stay at the Green Woods has been fantastic, thanks to Shiva and her husband and the staff who attended me very kindly. The space is a vegetal oasis, the food homemade and delicious. I couldn't go anywhere else.

The property is amazing, central location close to everything you want to see in Fort Kochi. At the same it’s on a back street so it’s quiet and relaxing. You are surrounded by plants and decorations and it makes you feel really at home. Sheeba and her husband are amazing hosts, I was very Ill during my stay and they helped me out so much and made us feel at home and taken care us.

Opaque curtains in the room would have been appreciated.

I've had a warm welcome at Green Woods. And Sheeba's cooking was so good. Also she gave me great tips about some place in the mountains for me to visit ! A very nice garden and a charming house
