If you are lucky most countries have at least one special place to stay, this is one of those. It's not a flash five star hotel, nor is it a budget bargain, it is just one of those unique hotels that has a little bit of everything: fantasy (beautiful decor) comfort (soft beds, thoughtfully appointed bedrooms) delight ( exotic garden)...

We stayed in the hotel for only one night, but it was just fantastic. In India, very often hotels want to tempt you by saying it's a heritage hotel, but in the end it's all a bit old and dusty. This hotel has it all in a good way. Everything matches. It is just very very beautiful, a real peace... More

We stayed here on our final two nights in Kerala as a little 'treat' to ourselves. First up, you can tell that the rooms have been designed by an architect, the attention to detail is amazing. Our room which was the first one you come to on the outside of the house, was simply beautiful with a big lounging area... More

We stayed here for two nights in early March this year. Although at the moment only bed and breakfast is supplied, there are plenty retaurants around Fort Kochi to keep the gourmet well satisfied. The staff are amazing. Nothing is too much bother for them and the rooms are very comfortable, spotlessly clean and quiet. The pool was lovely and... More

Stayed here for two wonderful nights. Just what we needed after a whirlwind tour of the north. The owner knows what the western traveller needs so you get comfy beds, spotlessly clean facilities , a sparkling pool to cool off in ,simple but sublime breakfast of fresh fruit, fresh waffles,local honey,home baked bread,juices and good coffee. Young man Deeraj(?) was... More

This was a relaxing and beautiful place to stay. This was the first place we stayed after arriving at Kochi Airport and it was a wonderful way to start our holiday. The small hotel is set around a lovely garden with a small swimming pool in the middle. Each room has a veranda out front where you can sit and... More

We spent one night and thought the hotel was very nice, beautifully furnished, comfortable bed with mosquito net around (very useful in Kochi!). The staff is friendly and helpful. The swimming pool was an absolute delight! at night, the water was so warm, it felt like swimming in a hot bath and it was so quiet around! A big plus... More

Spent four days here. Thora, Faisal and Deeragh could not have been more helpful. They sent a taxi to the airport to meet us, told us good places to eat and arranged a fantastic whole day trip in a tuk tuk to see sights often missed by tourists. The pool is a great place to relax after a hard days... More

Secret Garden proved to be a true find and we had a wonderful three nights there. We spent the first night in a standard room and the two following nights in the truly fabulous suite.The standard room is comfortable and the suite is very attractive, generous and well appointed and, needless to say, very clean. Bathrooms are basic-ish but perfectly... More

This place has everything that we have been looking for, felt like a home away from home. Secret garden is a peaceful and a beautiful place hidden from the bustling and busy India.
