The owner and staff are very helpful and friendly. They arrange taxis and trips and stored our luggage the next day so we could explore before our transfer after checkout. Homestay is very nice, building is lovely, rooms are big and clean, shared spaces to sit and make tea. Cold drinking water

A very nice homestay - you really feel being invited to a home of your long term friend. Harry and his wife are very kind and gentle. The home made breakfast was amazing. Perfect location - just in city center, so you can explore all old Kochi by feet. Harry also gave great recommendations for the restaurants, helped to book theater tickets and secured local rickshaw at the fair price. We will come again!!

Josey's Homestay is a bit special - Josey and her brother really look after their guests - I had to leave for an early morning flight and they kindly made breakfast for me. They offer to do clothes washing if you need it for an extra INR 200. I could make tea in the littke kitchen and there is a communal dining / seating area. The rooms are simple and clean, the bed was very comfortable and the shower works well. I used the ceiling fan - if you need A/c their is an extra charge. I prefer fans. It was in a great location in the old Fort area and e cellent value for money.

A very warm and friendly lady runs the place. Easy to talk to with a great sense of humor. We rented a fully furnished apartment and could also sit in the garden just outside our door. Cute cats and all kinds of birds around the garden. She cared for all our needs such as breakfast and went to buy what she didn’t have to make us fruit lassi. We really recommend this charming home stay.

Mr. Joseph is an excellent host who gives you useful tips about places of interest and takes care of your comfort.

    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.
