This isn't a homestay as such, more a family run hotel but extremely welcoming and friendly. The place is very clean and the food in the restaurant is excellent! All the staff are very attentive to your needs and. The pool is an added bonus! If I'm ever back in Jaipur I'll definitely be back here!

Antony was a great host. He's very laid back and very happy to give any recommendations on places to eat and things to do. He also arranged a night on his house boat for me where I went canoeing and kayaking through the backwaters for the ultimate up close experience. Very good! Communication could have been a little better getting to the property. It is called Paradise Inn.

This is not a homestay! The room itself is clean (enough) and there is hot water when requested. The location is also good, only a 5 minute walk from the centre. However... the sheets were very damp making the bed unusable. Luckily I'm travelling around and had a sleeping bag with me. The website also states that a light breakfast is included - it is not as there is no kitchen. Communication was also very poor. The address given is not accurate and I spent quite sometime wandering up and down the side streets to actually find the place. For the price there must be much better in the area.

Linda and Wilson are the ideal hosts. As soon as I arrived I felt right at home and very welcome. They provided me with a map of the area and gave me tips on where to go, even helping me book into a local Kathakali performance and a traditional Keralan massage. The highlight for me was Linda's cooking - she is a brilliant cook. Look no further for some really tasty Keralan food! The homestay itself is clean and has everything you need. It is very easy to find and very centrally located in the area with all attractions in Fort Kochi and Mattancherry within walking distance.
