    I had a wonderful experience at Pod Cochin Homestay. The hosts, Joseph and Jennifer, were incredibly welcoming and made me feel right at home. The rooms were new and beautifully decorated, and everything was kept very clean. The location was perfect - quiet, yet close to all the main attractions. Joseph even gave me some great recommendations for nearby restaurants. The bathroom was fantastic, with a modern shower and plenty of hot water. I highly recommend this homestay.

    Clean apartment with free parking. Great and awesome location not too far from a thoughtfully presented museum. Near to a late night Hindu festival in a nearby neighbourhood, Fort Kochi and the center of Fort Kochin. Lovely management and staff. Exceptionally nice and perfect rooms, a kitchen area and WiFi. The ambience was quiet.

    Great value for money. . Very clean hotel, one of the cleanest in India. Helpful and kind owner. Excellent location, close to all points of interest. Kitchen available for cooking. Nice and quiet street.

    No AC in one of the rooms, which is essential in the humid climate near the beach. . Limited availability of AC rooms.

    The location of this homestay is perfect for exploring the city, with all the main sites and restaurants within walking distance. the rooms are clean and comfortable, with cozy beds and good showers. the host and his family are warm and welcoming, providing excellent service and helpful recommendations for trips and restaurants.

    It would be great if there was air conditioning in the rooms, but the fans provided do a good job of keeping the rooms cool.

    The location of the homestay is ideal, within walking distance to all the tourist sites, restaurants, and the port. the rooms are spacious and light, with adjustable speed fans and air conditioning units to combat the intense heat. Guests also appreciate the clean and well-maintained en suite shower rooms. the hosts are friendly and go out of their way to ensure the comfort of their guests. There is a small communal kitchenette with basic amenities for convenience.

    The homestay does not offer a TV in the rooms.

    The room and the beds were incredibly comfortable, providing a great night's sleep. The bathroom was high-grade and spotlessly clean. The communal kitchen was well-equipped and served as a great place to socialize with fellow guests. The location was perfect and the staff went above and beyond to provide fantastic insider tips for exploring the area. Though the wi-fi in the room was sometimes intermittent, it worked perfectly in the communal areas. I highly recommend this hotel for a fabulous stay.

    My stay at the Pod Cochin Homestay was absolutely amazing. The host and his family were incredibly warm and helpful. They allowed us to store our bags in their home even though we didn't have a room booked. The staff was exceptional, providing us with valuable information about Kerala and helping us plan our trip. The room itself was beautiful, clean, and well-lit, making our stay very comfortable. The location of the homestay was excellent, within walking distance of many attractions and easy to find. it was a brilliant stay and I will definitely return.

    Nothing I didn't like, to be fair. 😊
