Jos is both a caring host and a great organiser. If I had wanted it he would have arranged a variety of tourist type visits in the Cochin area but as I had already seen most of the sights on previous visits to Kerala I just wanted to relax and enjoy the ambience of a comfortable homestay in a beautiful... more

We drove from near Ooty to Kochi. Although Jos provided us with directions we still had some difficulty locating Neduveli House. It is quite remote, about 25 to 30 mins from Fort Kochi, and almost 2 hours from Cherai Beach. We were hesistant as we approached the property since it does not look very inviting, however once inside the compound... more

Having read the reviews on tripadvisor, we decided to book the "cottage" for threee nights in early January 2009. My wife and I arrived by bus and tuc-tuc from south Kerala. Although the tuc-tuc driver was from the area, he had never heard of Gramam Homestay. However, he asked a couple of the locals and we only had a slight... more

From the moment we contacted Jos until the moment we were delivered back to the airport at the end of the trip we felt well taken care of. Jos responded quickly and efficiently to our questions and arranged a tour to suit our interests. The standard of his own accommodation was excellent and each homestay we visited had its own... more

Entrusting Jos to plan our 9 day trip to Kerala was the best decision we made. Our first stop was 2 nights at Gramam homestay nestled amongst the coconut trees which was a great treat, the guest bungalow was very comfortable and the meals prepared by Jos' wife were outstanding. The homestay is situated in a little village on a... more

Gramam House, North Kumbalangi, Cochin. Date of stay: 24-28 November 2008 From the time we first booked our homestay to the night we left Kerala, Jos kept up the same high standard of organisation and helpfulness, and everything went very smoothly. Nothing was too much trouble for Jos, including on the day of our departure, graciously allowing us to continue... more

We arranged a sunset boat ride which picked us... more

Having always wanted to visit India, Jos was recommended by a friend who stayed at Gramam last year. From our initial contact by email we outlined some of the things we wanted to see and Jos furnished us with a suggested itinerary which covered everything we wanted and much more. He arranged everything and the accomodation at Munnar, Periyar, Kanjirappily... more

Had a great stay at Gramam Homestay. Jos is a very nice chap who mostly left us to ourselves but was very helpful when we asked for assistance. We stayed in the cottage which is an amazing property - huge bedroom and cool open roofed shower-room. Was very nice sitting on the porch in the evening listening to the wildlife.... more
