My stay at Dreamcatcher was absolutely delightful. This is the 2nd time I'm staying with my family. The owner and his wife always go above and beyond to ensure everything is perfectly arranged for a comfortable and hassle-free stay. Their warmth and friendliness have always made us feel right at home from the moment you arrive. Tgis time we requested Owner to arrange the baywater trip, kathakali dance and martial arts. Last time we liked the Ayurvedic massage treatment, so we requested it this time, too. If you're someone like me who likes to do yoga early morning, their rooftop is the best for it! Their rooms and toilets are clean and tidy! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a welcoming and accommodating home away from home !

Elzas Fort Inn was a such a vibe to be in. The hosts were so warm and welcoming. We couldnt reach at the time we had informed, but our hosts waited for us and made sure we were safe, fed and comfortable. We booked a room with 2 double beds, attached bathroom and with 3 mini balconies. The room and bath were very spacious, clean and tidy. The building on the whole is so beautiful! Gives instagram-able vibes. The hosts will help you with anything from places to visit, places to eat, how to reach their place, ferry timings, or whatever it is that u want to know! Give them a call before you reach if you have no clue as to how to explore Fort Kochi and they'll give you an idea. Would recommend their place 100%!!!

Absolutely everything. The facilities are super clean, new and spacious. There is a kitchen that you can use as well as the living room. The best part is Sheetha and her daughter who makes this place so warm and special. If I’m ever in Kochi again, I’ll come back to that place. So lovely! A true home. Thank you so much for having me. 🙏🏻

Such a lovely homestay! The owner was so nice and always there for us. We stayed here twice and could leave our big luggage for a week as we traveled the mountains in between! There's drinking water available and a little kitchen you can use. Not much gear for cooking, but a cutting board and a fridge so we made fruit salad! Excellent location, close to everything. Thank you so much for having us!

I had the most amazing stay and would recommend anyone coming to kochi to stay here. The hosts were super lovely and accommodating and always ensuring I was comfortable, got home at night. I had the omelette for breakfast each morning which was delicious and filling for my day. The room is perfect for a solo traveller, particularly for size. Outside the room is a table and chairs to chill at/work. The wifi worked very well and was strong. The location was good, out of the main area, but a short walk away from it. There is a cafe with western food next door that is open for breakfast and dinner on all days except Monday, making it very easy to grab a meal. Whilst the room was perfect and everything I was after, the hosts made the stay even better. I I'll be staying here again when I return.

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.

Mr Roy was a great host. We travelled with 4 kids and all of us felt like our own home. Mr Roy helped us to arrange airport transport and auto (tuk tuk) for nearby movements. 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.
