Featuring quiet street views, Maliyakal Homestay offers accommodation with a garden and a balcony, around 20 km from Cochin Shipyard. This property offers access to a terrace and free private parking. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, a shared kitchen and currency exchange for guests.

Even if only for a few days, Maliyakal Homestay truly felt like a ‘home away from home’. The hosts, Mr Sanal & Mrs Selvi, are amazing people, welcoming and always keen to ensure the stay is going well. The room itself was great; spotlessly clean, A/C and with a comfy mattress, which isn’t always the case in India. There is also a desk in case you need to work remotely. The en-suite bathroom was equipped with power shower and spotless. I declined the dinner option during my stay however I had breakfast every day and it gave me the possibility to taste real Kerala food, freshly made and enjoy seasonal fruits too. Full access is also provided to the upstairs kitchen and coffee/tea making facilities are available. The house also has a typical Kerala style terrace which was the ideal spot to enjoy coffees and read, surrounded by luscious trees. As for the location, the house is set in a small, quaint village. It is very quiet and it’s the ideal spot to get away from the chaos for a few days. I had the chance to explore some of the nearby beaches, villages and interact with many of the locals (thanks also to Mr Sanal who took the time to share advice and also show me around). He is very knowledgeable and truly passionate about sharing information about the area and Kerala culture in general. He is also a certified tour guide. Overall I had an amazing experience and I will definitely go back during my next trip to Kerala. Highly recommended. Grazie mille :)

    What a fantastic stay, the family are so nice and helpful, the mother of the house makes a traditional Kerala breakfast each morning, something different, and we also have an evening meal which was Kerala's traditional fish, the food was exceptional, restaurant quality. The location is fantastic, quiet and close to the local town. The room was very clean, modern and beautiful. The best thing about this stay was the hosts, they were just lovely. I would highly recommend taking the homestays private boat trip down the canals.

    We had the most wonderful stay. Joji and his family were incredible hosts and looked after us during our stay. We had delicious home cooked meals, arranged a an awesome guide around Kochi and had a beautiful, tranquil room on the river watching the fishing nets and birds from our room. It was fantastic, I highly recommend getting out of the bustle and finding peace at Riverine Homestay.

    The place is very neat and looks very elegant and it’s near Lu Lu Mall which is in walkable distance. They have laundry facilities which comes in handy. Only thing is we did not get the bigger room with the kitchen, you can try booking the room with the kitchen it would be very good. Otherwise the place is a really good homestay.😀

    We had such an amazing time at Poetrie Homestay. The standard of the room is really high. The beds are comfortable, there is a cupboard for clothes and a desk. The bathroom is one of the best I've seen so far with hot water. There is a small kitchen as well with coffee and tea and a water dispenser as well as a dining table. The owner is super nice and knows about the area what to do. She and her family made our stay very welcoming. We intended to stay four days and kept on extending because we loved Kochi and the home stay so much.

    This homestay in the village is quiet and the neighbours are locals and that is great, because you feel you are in different country. The beach is really close and feels like private beach. Seafood restaurant is near, also the owners hospitality is great. Prepared some great local breakfast and we could borrow his motorbike for a trip for dinner. Hope I will come back soon :)

    There is no such homestay there. My family was stuck without a hotel and any support. They have stopped the home stay business 2 years ago but still putting ad and cheating people.
