Bed and breakfast holiday rentals in Idukki

Joseph and his wife Nimy were so warm, friendly, helpful and attentive. They have a wonderful building that is quiet ( by urban India standards), yet 2 blocks from the center of Fort Cochin. There are about 10 rooms catering to a diverse international group of guests, Indians included. During our stay the people were fascinating - women in business, India’s top stand up comedian, a retired United Nations lawyer, a trainer teaching local women how to start their own small businesses, and a retired international development professional on a world jaunt. The morning breakfast was the best I’ve eaten at an Airbnb- wonderful fruit, fresh blended fruit juice, yogurt, cereal, a savory hot Indian dish, native blue pea tea, and more, all served on a covered rooftop. It is also close to the Biennale main venues. They were very helpful in arranging an interesting canoe trip in the backwaters, alerted us to a Puja, and helped with arranging transportation as needed. Fair price, good people.

Varun’ place was a well-run small hotel right on the shore of the backwaters in Kerala. There was a pool, many different areas to relax with a book. Canoes were available to paddle down stream. Varun was very helpful in arranging transportation for us, recommending activities and pointing us in the direction of a special art biennale which happened to be taking place in Kochi while we were there. The restaurant had a nice blend of Indian, continental with vegetarian options. We are planning on staying here on our next trip and highly recommend it. Gregory and Michèle

Our short stay at Neelakurunji luxury rooms was highlighted with superb hospitality from Jiyash and his team of very sweet people (Notably Ebin and Akil). They took care of all our needs, including picking us up from a particularly far location where we were dropped, serving us very tasty food (in large quantities) and so on. They even showed us around a little bit as we were on our way to be dropped off after our stay. It was the end of August and hence there were not many people in the vicinity, but that was what we were looking for and so we were extremely thrilled. The view from the plantation and from all the rooms are breathtakingly beautiful (with clouds passing through your room occasionally). The location is quite remote and so one will need to be picked up and dropped by the staff. Overall the experience here was beautiful, marked with supreme hospitality from a capable and sweet staff.

Mary Grace and JL were fantastic hosts. We stayed for 3 days and I would fully recommend this place. She made us great breakfast, suggested a few wonderful eating places, arranged taxis and even helped us get our clothes washed. Her husband fixed my and my mother's glasses free of charge. It was a very easy and relaxed atmosphere and we made other friends there as well. Thanks Mary Grace and JL for your hospitality.

Anshad and his wife were incredibly sweet and welcoming. Their hospitality was top-notch, serving the best homely food. They even allowed our photographers to capture our wedding pictures. Total value for money – a must-visit if you're near Alleppey! :)

Sajeer was extremely friendly. we were stuck in traffic, waiting for a ferry ride to cross the river but due to Christmas influx we had to wait for more than 2.5 hours in queue. Sajeer has been giving directions in the phone what we should be doing and he even offered to bring food for us. When we checked in, he was very friendly, the process was quick and easy. The bfadt served was quite humble, tasty and home cooked. The location is very near to a lot of good places to visit. 100% recommended stay!

What Sarah and Morden have built is very impressive and Sarah a brilliant cook. Clean lodge with wildlife surrounding - great bird (and monkey) watching. Just be aware location is very remote (as mentioned) and can get a bit cold at night. But hosts went above and beyond - giving us lifts and organising transport. Glad to be supporting all the work they do for stray dogs!

We had a lovely time here! The location is perfect, walking distance to Fort Kochi and good food in the neighborhood too. There also is a rooftop where you can sit. Would recommend this airbnb!

I had a wonderful stay at Ashin's cottage in Munnar! From the start, Ashin's warm hospitality made us feel right at home. The cottage is peaceful, serene, and perfectly located, with easy access to Munnar's attractions like Gap Road and the town itself. The road is in great condition, making travel hassle-free. The home-cooked meals by Ashin’s mother were a true highlight—delicious, fresh, and made with locally grown ingredients. We also enjoyed a plantation walk, where Ashin shared fascinating insights into local spices and farming, which was definitely worth the extra cost. The entire experience was memorable—peaceful surroundings, warm family hospitality, and authentic local cuisine. Whether you're traveling solo, as a couple, or with family, this place is safe, comfortable, and perfect for relaxation. I highly recommend staying here for a unique, peaceful retreat in Munnar!

It's a nice new house. Very neat and clean. Host stays in the ground floor and all the three rooms are on the first floor. There is spacious living room and balcony in the front and back, both with scenic views. Vijeesh is a good host who is always available on call and very helpful. He also offers tasty home made food at an additional but nominal charge. This place is highly recommendable and we will love to come back again in the future.
