Location is great, walking distance to everything like tourist spots, beach, shopping, resturants but quiet plcace in Fortnagar. Big room with shared spcaces, cold water,coffee, tea provided in common area. The owner is very helpful and friendly, quick response when we ask anythings in the massage box or whatsapp. She arranged our airport transfer, cap for city transfer cities and booked train tickets for us,

My stay at Guestland Homestay was far beyond what I could have imagined – it was a transformative experience. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with a unique hospitality that made me feel at home instantly. The host was attentive to every detail and offered me genuine care, providing valuable tips that enriched my trip in a special way. Thanks to her, I explored incredible places that few people know about and discovered the best the area has to offer. The location of Guestland is excellent, providing easy access to the main attractions as well as those unique, less-known spots. The convenience of being close to everything I needed made my days easier and so much more enjoyable. More than just a place to stay, it was like finding a new family. The host welcomed me with such warmth that it felt like I was among long-time friends. Every conversation and shared moment was memorable, leaving an impression I’ll carry with me. I wholeheartedly recommend Guestland Homestay, and I’ll definitely return to relive this wonderful experience.

The room was spotlessly clean and just a 10 min walk down to the main hub. Lakshmi was great helping us with any questions. Kitchen and communal area were well equipped with everything you need. Filtered water was a great bonus with a fridge to keep drinks cold. The rooms were a decent size as was the bathroom. Amazing value for money.

This place has its own aesthetic and each corner of the place is a candy for the eye. Too beautiful and it is maintained very well. Love the open space concept at the centre where there’s direct sunlight and plants surrounding in the middle of the bungalow.

    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.
