We had the most loveliest stay in Fort Kochi. For us, Guestland Homestay was simply perfect: in a quiet location, authentic + delicious breakfast, great spacious rooms, the greatest staff ever, always ready to help, and near both touristy and non-touristic areas, yoga studios, sea front, fantastic restaurants, bike rental. Guestland Homestay is a place that makes you wish you could stay longer.

This place is fantastic - highly recommend if you are staying in Kochi! The location is perfect, the family that runs the Homestay is lovely, and they will go out of their way to help you have the best stay. The rooms are nice and the beds are big (and air conditioning is available for a small extra charge!). The family will also help you to rent scooters and plan your days/nights :)

Place was perfect and exactly how it's shown in the photos. I had a room in the new building with kettle, tea and all that was needed for a comfortable stay. Friendly host and the property is in a great location close to eateries and supermarket and lots of tourist attractions. Would certainly recommend staying here.

I think the best thing about the guesthouse is Usha, the best hostess you could ever have in India. Always attentive to your tastes, she always advises the best, if you want she will cook for you a good grilled fish, she is a good cook. Ask her anything you want and she will solve it for you, she makes you feel at home. The rooms are very good, they are not very big but they have hot water and they are very clean. And the historic center is a 5 minute walk, what more could you ask for?

This beautiful boutique hotel is absolutely charming! The rooms were traditional but with a modern bathroom and good air conditioning. The communal areas offer plenty of places to sit and relax after a busy day exploring Cochin. Even the reception area is welcoming and serene. The bed was very comfortable (had an incredible sleep), the staff were very attentive and breakfast was delicious! Worth paying a bit extra for a room with a balcony.

    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.
