Ernakulam: pousadas

I loved my stay at Le Lind’s Homestay. The meals were my favorite part. Linda is a great cook and the breakfast and dinner options I tried were all delicious. The bed was comfortable and I slept soundly. The room was very clean and I appreciated that the AC worked well as it quite hot and humid. Please take Linda’s suggestions for tours, cooking classes, and the local dance performance. Fort Kochi is a beautiful place with a lot to see and Le Linda’s Homestay is a great base.

Anthony hat mir aus einer unglücklichen Situation geholfen, indem ich einfach sofort, nach erster Kontakraufnahne kommen konnte. Er hat sehr viele interessante Sachen erklärt und auch eine ganz tolle Backwater Tour vermittelt. Vielen lieben Dank für das Gefühl Zuhause zu sein!

Would like to thank Antonio , ammachi and family for the incredible hospitality and help, felt like staying with family. Antonio was forever available and offerred help for everything, thanks a lot

Beautiful place and good stay . Very responsive hosts.

Host Anitha is an angel. She provides great and clean facilities and looks out for you wherever she can. She advises you on what to do in the area and is interested in people. You can have a lovely chit-chat with her, if you want, or just retreat into your own space.

Joseph and his wife Nimy were so warm, friendly, helpful and attentive. They have a wonderful building that is quiet ( by urban India standards), yet 2 blocks from the center of Fort Cochin. There are about 10 rooms catering to a diverse international group of guests, Indians included. During our stay the people were fascinating - women in business, India’s top stand up comedian, a retired United Nations lawyer, a trainer teaching local women how to start their own small businesses, and a retired international development professional on a world jaunt. The morning breakfast was the best I’ve eaten at an Airbnb- wonderful fruit, fresh blended fruit juice, yogurt, cereal, a savory hot Indian dish, native blue pea tea, and more, all served on a covered rooftop. It is also close to the Biennale main venues. They were very helpful in arranging an interesting canoe trip in the backwaters, alerted us to a Puja, and helped with arranging transportation as needed. Fair price, good people.

There are 3 rooms situated on the 1st floor, I had the chance to get the one with a big balcony facing the main street. It was extremely clean, nice and bright and its windows-doors had very useful mosquito screens. There was a comfortable double bed, a ceiling fan and aircon (really needed during my stay), a small desk and a little suspended ‘cupboard’ for the clothes and a modern beautiful private bathroom. There’s a fridge on the 1st floor that guests can use and of course, an available equipped kitchen. Very well located, the whole apartment is well thought (a recent construction), you notice that Colbridge and his wife Shalini care about their home stay business; they are a good team, pretty well organized working together. Colbridge, the brain of the hospitality services, sent me through whatsapp dozens of information related to history, places to visit and food. He is very knowledgeable (not only about Kochi) and it was good to exchange with him. Besides, he can help you to organize trips, call a tuk tuk and find solutions for your queries. Shalini is the heart of the place… she is welcoming, warm, intelligent and sweet, with a great sense of humour. A gifted cook, she prepares wonder ful breakfasts (Indian, European, American…), tailored to requests. I admired how she cared about guest’s well-being even when she was very busy. Shalini likes to exchange with her hosts and she gave me an unique opportunity to learn more about the culture. She is a very good company too, I will not forget all our laughters and hope to stay with them again. I fully recommend this place for your stay.

Had a great experience at Joice's listing, the host was super responsive, the space was clean and welcoming, and the location is excellent to explore Fort Kochi and its many attractions. Great time overall.

The thing is Thomas is such an incredibly nice person. You’ll never feel awkward and he’s very helpful. I would stay there again just because of him but it’s clean and the location is very handy. For the price you can’t go wrong.
