The River Loom is a fantastic place beautifully set in nature, immediately on a river bank and a stone throw away from the beach. The room was nicely decorated and had everything needed for a short stay. We particularly loved the garden and the terrace with all its beautiful plants! The host and staff are incredibly friendly and helpful! We came as guests and left as friends :-). Absolutely recommendable without reservations!

This is the best Homestay we stayed in Kerala. The family is very welcoming and they are all very keen in helping you out. We had nice conversations with them in the evenings. It really felt like home. The room was very clean and big enough for 2 ppl. You can find some restaurants at walking distances. Also the temple is at about 20 min walking.

I had a truly beautiful experience staying at Coco Homestays. Subin and his wife were incredibly helpful, friendly, and easy to talk to — they made me feel at home from the moment I arrived. Subin kindly shared with me some sacred local places to visit, which was very meaningful for me, as the purpose of my journey in India is to pay my respect to Hindu gods and devas. The location of the homestay is perfect — peaceful and very close to important temples and spiritual sites. They also recommended delicious traditional local food, which I thoroughly enjoyed! The room itself was clean, comfortable, and just what I needed to rest and recharge after temple visits. I’m grateful for their warmth and hospitality — it truly added something special to my spiritual journey in India. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a soulful and comfortable place to stay

I liked everything, especially: - The beautiful setting, with views over the ocean (it really is in front, which is not the case of many properties even in Kovalam) and palm trees; I could hear the waves from my bed, as well as all the birds singing (I made many recordings) - The location, less than 30mn from Trivandrum airport - All the restaurants nearby (I recommend “the Lobster Pot” literally next door) and the other facilities not far (e.g. currency exchange less than 15mn away) - The advance communication with Mr Sachin (so reassuring when travelling) and the professionalism of Mr Dibhyajith on site (who made everything so easy, starting in with check-in – I could pay by card, which is not always the case in India) - My bedroom (201) with a very big bathroom, powerful air conditioning (which I only turned on for 5mn every time the room was getting a bit too hot), very good wifi signal and breathtaking views.
