I stayed at the Green House in June. Kumar was incredibly welcoming and went out of his way to ensure my stay at his home stay was enjoyable. We even ended up having dinner together and a wonderful conversation at a nearby restaurant. Fabulous guy.

The home stay is reasonably priced, clean, well-located, and helpful. Would definitely go back.

We arrived and got the last free room in the place, apparently the 'worst' room because everyone apologized for it. But we loved it- it was very clean, abutting a lush garden full of plants and birds, the sounds of the jungle outside floated through our screened windows, and there was a powerful fan on the ceiling that kept us incredibly cool despite the heat. The bathroom was very clean (almost felt like a spa compared to our accommodations the previous night) and the rooftop breakfast came with strong coffee (yum), delicious home-cooked food and a gorgeous view . Most of all, Sheeba and family are probably some of the kindest and loveliest people I've met in my life. Ever. What a relaxing and delightful place, couldn't recommend it more.

We stayed here for a couple of nights in May this year.
The rooms are clean and well equipped with choice of A/C or non A/C. There is a nice communal room with TV, Internet, books, magazines and local area information. Also there is a lovely Balcony and a roof area where you can relax in a hammock or put your laundry out to dry.
The location is perfect, about 5 mins walk from the main streets down a pretty and safe side street. There are convenience stores 2 minutes away for any daily needs.
Kumar, who runs the homestay is the real star though. I was taken ill during our stay and Kumar was absolutely fantastic and made an unpleasant situation much easier. He organised transport to a good clean hospital that he chose and even follewd us down there and helped make sure there were no problems with treatment. The treatment took a few hours and Kumar stayed until we had finished and again helped to organise transport back which saved us a hefty taxi charge. Thanks Kumar!
I would recommend and staying here and will definitely return next time we are in Kochi

This Homestay is perfectly located in Kochi, moreover it is a very calm place. The internet is available in the home stay which is always useful. Kumar is really helpful and nice since i fell sick while staying in Kochi and he helped us in everything. The place is the cleanest i have stayed in in India and has all the facilities we needed : washing machines, a fridge in the communal area, nice places to rest after the beautiful day trip organized by Kumar in the backwaters... Highly recommended !!!!
