Nothing is too much trouble for Neema and her family. We had a very comfortable night's stay here, with an amazing dinner and breakfast (and plenty of it!) As other reviews say, this homestay is only a short ferry ride across to old Fort Cochin. Neema had a good iterinary of suggested things to do and see in Cochin, and... More

Based on prior tripadvisor reviews, and on trip-planning email exchanges with Neema, we had high expectations of our stay the Bungalow; our experience exceeded all of our expectations. Neema and Prasad are very engaging and congenial hosts. Prasad spent more than 20 years sailing freighters around the world. After they married, Neema sailed with him for more than 10 years.... More

We stayed with Neema Prasad and their lovely daughter Olivia who welcomed us into their beautiful home which had been in Neema's family for many generations. The location of The Bungalow was excellent with the ferry a 2 minute walk and our guest room's were very comfortable, clean and on a seperate level to the family with air conditioning and... More

This will be a most memorable part of our around the world trip. While I have traveled to India before, this was my first trip to Kerela. I wasn't sure what to expect but the ease at which we have been taken care of by Neema and her family has made this the perfect way to begin our Indian segment.... More

From the moment we arrived we felt part of this lovely family. Neema did everything she could to ensure we had a wonderful 5 days in Cochin and saw all the sights. The bungalow is spotlessly clean and Neema's cooking a real treat. The location is ideal for ferry hopping around the islands and is only a short walk from... More

We spent two nights with Neema and her family at the beginning of February 2012. The stay made a wonderful start to our tour of Kerala. We endorse everything written in earlier reviews and can recommend a stay in the Bungalow wholeheartedly. More

What a great find The Bungalow was! Neema is such a helpful host and incredible cook. She helped us with our itinery and even found a local tailor for us. The house is full of character and we appreciated being in Vypeen too. More

I had a very nice welcome from Neema and her family. The whole heritage property is beautifully kept and extremley clean. The food was delicious and fresh as Neema did go shopping on the day of my arrival for dinner in the evening. It's a very hospitable family and you will most likely meet all of them. The room was...

Myself and two friends travelled to Kochi in late January 2012. When organising our trip, we stumbled across the Bungalow Heritage Homestay on Tripadvisor, and with all its excellent reviews, we simply had to enquire. From our very first email, Neema organised our entire 5 day Kerelan adventure including accommodation, taxis and activities across Alleppey, Munnar and Kochi itself -... More
