Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Kochi

I spent a day at Varughese's homestay and thoroughly enjoyed it. The host was helpful and responsive to my needs throughout. The homestay is well maintained, the bedroom was warm and comfy, and bathroom was squeaky-clean. I heartily recommend Varughese's homestay to Airbnb users.

Book the property with no second thought. The best place where you want to spend your weekend with family or friends away from the city hustle. Things to do: Reach the property around late afternoon. Enjoy the sunset and have a great time with all the activities. Try out kayaking and canoeing the next morning, the host will suggest the best places and he will take care of everything. The host, Shiju is super friendly and took good care right from reaching out to the property and till the checkout.

Wow! I love this place! Roy is an absolute mega-host, the room was big enough for yoga and exercise, the WiFi was fast and stable enough for me to work, and Roy, Raji, and the whole host family welcomed us with open hearts. I also appreciated the outdoor shower (great for washing sand off my feet) and the great times we spent with Roy, his family, and neighbors, playing music, dancing, and eating delicious home-cooked food. It’s felt like the perfect home away from home, right near the beach!!!! 🏝️

It was very great stat with good amenities. Overall it was the worth the money paid

Mr Mohammad is a great host. A must visit, Nearby Lulu Mall. He will assist you with everything you need and takes care of whatever the guest needs. I had a really comfortable stay. Recommending it to all who visit Kochi.

The place was really nice. The host was even nicer, helping us with whatever we needed and always available at all times. Very good place to stay for short visits.

Great place to stay when in Cochin

We were 6 adults and 3 kids travelling. The home was beautiful and spacious with 4 bedrooms and the overall experience being made even better by a really good host. From being always quick to respond and available on call since the booking was made, Praveen (and his friend Naijo) have been excellent hosts by helping us personally find the location (where Naijo guided us in front on his scooter) and having made sure the place was clean, tidy and welcoming. The home was beside a lake which provided for a very relaxing view if you're the kind who enjoys taking some time to sit and take in the atmosphere. While we expected the water body nearby to result in a ton of mosquitoes, surprisingly, we had no mosquito problem whatsoever. The Air Conditioners (only available in the 2 rooms upstairs) were fully functional and the Kitchen was equipped with basic utensils along with a gas and stove - suffice to say we were only too happy to make tea for ourselves. :) There was high speed (didn't really measure it, but was fast all the same) Wifi connectivity available at the home. The location is there on google maps under the name "River point Luxury Inn", which lets Swiggy executives easily find the place to deliver food without having any back and forth for directions over phone calls. There were shops and hotels within a 10 minute walk radius as well although the path that leads to the highway (where the aforementioned services are) is a bit narrow and dark if you're taking a stroll at night. A special thanks to Praveen for being available on call at 5.30AM in the morning when we ran out of water, and helped us out in terms of locating the motor switch and letting us know it would take around 5-10 minutes for the water to start coming via the pipes. A few things that are not explicitly shown or mentioned on the listing page are: 1. From the main highway, once you turn into the smaller lane which actually gets you to the location, there are quite a few twists and turns that might seem a bit confusing if it is your first time trying to find the place. 2. There are a few other homes just in front and beside this home and only the part of the lake is wide and plain. From the pictures, I had an impression that the home had the lake and plain fields all around it, but it was not so. However, this didn't pose any problems at all during our stay. 3. Since the airport is quite near, you can see planes taking off and landing quite close above your head every once in a while. While all of us including the kids had a great time staring and shouting at them, it means that the aeroplane sounds can be heard frequently (every 15-30 minutes during our stay) It was a great stay, value for money and will definitely book again if the need comes where we have to stay near the Cochin airport with a party of 5 or more. :)

Clean and Beautiful place. Well organized and responsive host and caretaker. Interior facilities is inspired from Foriegn airbnb's. Will visit again

Clean and nice place well kept with all amenities. Kochi airport is not too far. Very good facility. We had all the amenities that we needed. The host was always at hand and willing.

Good communication by the host, very helpful. He arranged for food and travel very quickly. Overall , it is a nice place

Had a pleasant stay with my family here. It felt right at home .We didn’t face any issues . The location is very good , right in the city , but at the same time inside so that it’s peaceful and quiet .. if you have your own car , then this place will be a good location.

Beyond question, Benny's place was one of the finest and most rewarding of my well-over-one-hundred Airbnb experiences in different countries. Everything was as advertised in the listing and Benny was wonderfully communicative, even though we never had the pleasure of meeting. Mr. Babu, the on sight caretaker, was exceptionally gracious and kind in being sure that my needs and interests were met. He was absolutely available and attentive to my needs and interests. I loved the yard! Sitting there daily was one of the greatest pleasures during my six-day sojourn. It was a delightful and memorable experience. Without hesitation I offer Benny's place my highest recommendation. I certainly feel that I got what I paid for. I would be pleased to book another stay there sometime down the road.
