Kerala : locations de vacances en chambre d'hôtes

Joseph and his wife Nimy were so warm, friendly, helpful and attentive. They have a wonderful building that is quiet ( by urban India standards), yet 2 blocks from the center of Fort Cochin. There are about 10 rooms catering to a diverse international group of guests, Indians included. During our stay the people were fascinating - women in business, India’s top stand up comedian, a retired United Nations lawyer, a trainer teaching local women how to start their own small businesses, and a retired international development professional on a world jaunt. The morning breakfast was the best I’ve eaten at an Airbnb- wonderful fruit, fresh blended fruit juice, yogurt, cereal, a savory hot Indian dish, native blue pea tea, and more, all served on a covered rooftop. It is also close to the Biennale main venues. They were very helpful in arranging an interesting canoe trip in the backwaters, alerted us to a Puja, and helped with arranging transportation as needed. Fair price, good people.

Thank you so much for having us. It was our first accommodation during our first visit to India, and we definitely won’t forget it. The space is beautifully tranquil and relaxing, and in a great location to get a tuk tuk to explore fort Kochi. Hazel looked after us amazingly, and was always happy to help with a smile. The grounds were kept beautifully tidy. The breakfast every morning was amazing and fresh. Listening to the birds chirping and waves crashing on the beach behind while reading a book on a hammock is sheer perfection. Thank you to Sarath and Family for hosting us at such a stunning place.

Alle waren sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Preethy hat mir gute Empfehlungen für Aktivitäten gegeben und war immer sehr hilfbereit. Ich kann die Unterkunft empfehlen!

If there was a place to experience how real ancestral place feels and looks like, this is it. Amazing caretakers and amazing experience. All the negative reviews, they all seem to be untruthful. You need to be less entitled and more at home to experience the real hospitality of Mahadev and his partner. Amazing breakfast. If there were praises beyond this to be offered, I’d do that too! Additional 50 points for the amenities provided. They are of high quality. The price is worth it.

Anthony hat mir aus einer unglücklichen Situation geholfen, indem ich einfach sofort, nach erster Kontakraufnahne kommen konnte. Er hat sehr viele interessante Sachen erklärt und auch eine ganz tolle Backwater Tour vermittelt. Vielen lieben Dank für das Gefühl Zuhause zu sein!

My stay here was exactly what I needed to settle me into India as a first timer. I am truly grateful for everyone who works there and are very accommodating. Their kindness is beyond measure and my heart was very happy staying here, I would most definitely return and stay again. Thank you so much, I will miss it ❤️

There are 3 rooms situated on the 1st floor, I had the chance to get the one with a big balcony facing the main street. It was extremely clean, nice and bright and its windows-doors had very useful mosquito screens. There was a comfortable double bed, a ceiling fan and aircon (really needed during my stay), a small desk and a little suspended ‘cupboard’ for the clothes and a modern beautiful private bathroom. There’s a fridge on the 1st floor that guests can use and of course, an available equipped kitchen. Very well located, the whole apartment is well thought (a recent construction), you notice that Colbridge and his wife Shalini care about their home stay business; they are a good team, pretty well organized working together. Colbridge, the brain of the hospitality services, sent me through whatsapp dozens of information related to history, places to visit and food. He is very knowledgeable (not only about Kochi) and it was good to exchange with him. Besides, he can help you to organize trips, call a tuk tuk and find solutions for your queries. Shalini is the heart of the place… she is welcoming, warm, intelligent and sweet, with a great sense of humour. A gifted cook, she prepares wonder ful breakfasts (Indian, European, American…), tailored to requests. I admired how she cared about guest’s well-being even when she was very busy. Shalini likes to exchange with her hosts and she gave me an unique opportunity to learn more about the culture. She is a very good company too, I will not forget all our laughters and hope to stay with them again. I fully recommend this place for your stay.

Varun’ place was a well-run small hotel right on the shore of the backwaters in Kerala. There was a pool, many different areas to relax with a book. Canoes were available to paddle down stream. Varun was very helpful in arranging transportation for us, recommending activities and pointing us in the direction of a special art biennale which happened to be taking place in Kochi while we were there. The restaurant had a nice blend of Indian, continental with vegetarian options. We are planning on staying here on our next trip and highly recommend it. Gregory and Michèle

Les lieux sont propres et très spacieux quel plaisir d'avoir passé ces quelques jours dans cette maison d'hôte. je reviendrais sans hésitation

Literally HOMEstay - very wonderful minds in this hidden place are to be found! Helped us with all kind of issues and arranged a just perfect one day canoeing trip. Really made us feel all over relaxed in this (much more than expected) noisy little town.

Loved every bit of nature surrounding the place.

Antonio was a gracious and kind host during our short stay. He helped us find good local restaurants, managed to get our laundry done, and was always prompt and responsive. He really helped us have a wonderful stay!

The property aptly matched the description and is located in a very calm and peaceful environment with very good accessibility. All the required amenities are available to suit short and long term stays. The host, was jovial, responsive and accommodative. I would highly recommend this property for any one visiting mysore and looking for a cordial stay.

I had a wonderful stay at Ashin's cottage in Munnar! From the start, Ashin's warm hospitality made us feel right at home. The cottage is peaceful, serene, and perfectly located, with easy access to Munnar's attractions like Gap Road and the town itself. The road is in great condition, making travel hassle-free. The home-cooked meals by Ashin’s mother were a true highlight—delicious, fresh, and made with locally grown ingredients. We also enjoyed a plantation walk, where Ashin shared fascinating insights into local spices and farming, which was definitely worth the extra cost. The entire experience was memorable—peaceful surroundings, warm family hospitality, and authentic local cuisine. Whether you're traveling solo, as a couple, or with family, this place is safe, comfortable, and perfect for relaxation. I highly recommend staying here for a unique, peaceful retreat in Munnar!

It's a nice new house. Very neat and clean. Host stays in the ground floor and all the three rooms are on the first floor. There is spacious living room and balcony in the front and back, both with scenic views. Vijeesh is a good host who is always available on call and very helpful. He also offers tasty home made food at an additional but nominal charge. This place is highly recommendable and we will love to come back again in the future.

My 9 year old son and I stayed here. My son was excited to stay in Muraleedharan sir's place after seeing the photos. The host's family members and his caretaker were friendly to us and we had a comfortable stay. The quality and taste of food was really nice and worth the price.

We really enjoyed our stay at Jayan‘s home. We were warmly welcomed and taken care of. We received great recommendations on how to explore the neighborhood/temple, where to eat, how to get a SIM card and how to organize our further travels. There are lot of antique objects to explore in the house (also from our hometown Vienna!) Jayan and his wife provided us a really comfortable and nice stay (and a delicious breakfast as well :)).

The property is a gorgeous example of old Kerala architecture with a stunning central courtyard. The roomwas squeaky clean and all the linens and towels felt pretty new. Aparna was extremely helpful with every aspect of our stay - and even went above and beyond to help us find some quiet Holi celebrations. Honestly though all of her recommendations were top notch; we pretty much filled our itinerary with them and could not be happier!
