This was a home stay I recommended my younger brother, when he visited Fort kochi. My brother told me that few basic facilities were lacking, but because it was just for a day, he was adjusting. I had to pick him up from the location. When I reached the place, my stomach was upset. The owner told me that I could not go to his room, because guests were not allowed as he doesn't have any ID proof or info about me. I requested him to allow me to use the washroom of the room for 5 mins. Imagine being a woman at night having to beg to use a washroom. He was rude and not budging. Even his wife tried to put some sense into him. But nothing. I even told him that I was ready to give him my details and that he could check if I didn't return from the washroom in 5 mins. But nothing. It's one thing that a room with AC didn't have blankets, we could understand that, but not having basic human decency when you are the owner of an establishment is something else.

I had a wonderful stay at this homestay! The owner and his family were extremely kind, welcoming, and genuinely helpful throughout my visit. They even helped us with small things like using their iron and showed us how to tie a South Indian lungi, which made the experience even more special and memorable. The rooms were clean, well-maintained, and had AC all at a very affordable price Highly recommended for anyone looking for a warm and comfortable stay!

I would strongly advise against staying at this place. When we called the owner to book the room, he quoted 1800 for non-AC and 2500 for AC. When I mentioned that three people would be staying, he immediately demanded 500 extra. When I asked why, he gave no proper explanation. I assumed it was for an extra bed. When we arrived (early December), almost all rooms were empty. We kept our bags, and the owner immediately started pressuring me to decide how many days we would stay. He forced me to commit on the spot, even though we had clearly said we were unsure between one or two days. The moment I said two days, he demanded that I transfer 4600 immediately. This was a major red flag, but I ignored it at the time. Despite charging extra, we received nothing in return. No extra bed was provided, and even if he had intended to give one, there is literally no space in the room for it. At night, the place was infested with mosquitoes. Completely unbearable. There were no mosquito nets, no repellents, nothing, and the plants outside only made the situation worse. On top of that, the room became extremely hot at night (around 36C), making it impossible to sleep. Heat + mosquitoes = absolute misery. I was just counting the days until we could leave. The property is clearly being run with little to no maintenance. The owners only focus seems to be squeezing money out of guests. To make matters worse, the bathroom vent is open, and the adjacent building has a window directly facing it, meaning the inside of the bathroom is clearly visible, which is a serious privacy issue. Overall, this place is poorly maintained, overpriced, uncomfortable, and run by a greedy owner. Do yourself a favor and book literally any other hotel nearby instead of staying in this unmaintained place.

AVOID A good location but they advertised and charged for an A/C room with kitchen available and provided me with a tiny room, no water, no A/C and no kitchen facilities in sight. He happily took my money and then informed me sorry A/C not available. The room was so hot I couldnt stay. I would avoid this place. I can not understand how it has so many good reviews
