We stayed here for our first night in Kerala and couldn't have asked for a friendlier place to stay. Even before we arrived Patrick was so helpful and booked our train ticket for us. Our room was clean and spacious and the air conditioning was so wonderful given how hot and humid it was. Really good wi-fi signal and a... More

We stayed only one night at this spacious, quiet place. We found everything we needed. It was not easy to find the location but this may be seen as a plus because it was in a quiet residential area. We had to leave at 05:30 in the morning. We will never forget the breakfast with omelets, fresh papayas and all... More

I spent the first 3 nights of my 4 month trip around India and hope the rest of my accommodation is of the same standard. Excellent room with all the amenities you'd need (or may not) - air con, TV, fridge, hot water, mosquito net and regular supply of bottled water from the host. The breakfasts are enormous and give...

Spent two nights here with my partner - the room was a good size, very clean and comfortable. Patrick and Mary were lovely - fantastic hosts and it was a pleasure to stay in their house. Mary's breakfasts were very tasty and very plentiful - unfortunately I was quite ill during my time in Cochin so couldn't eat as much... More

Lovely homestay, lovely family. We started our trip of here, arrived at 5am Patric sorted a taxi from the airport for us. This was the perfect start to our trip, good room, good breakfast and like i said lovely family! We will be back, thanks for everything. Tom, Nin, Laia x

Patrick and Mary were great hosts and very helpful indeed. Patrick was kind enough to drive us down to the vegetarian joints and also when the rickshaw guy did not turn up , dropped us to a central point from where we could then move around. They helped us with the itinerary . Food was great and indeed a comfortable... More

Sadly, I did not get to actually stay at Heavenly Home Stay as it was fully booked when I made inquiries. However, not only did Patrick reply to tell me he was fully booked (the only one of 5 homestays I contacted to do so) he then took the time to suggest and eventually book another homestay for me out...

Simply the best home stay of our 3 week trip in south India, and very sad to leave such a welcoming family. We stayed two nights originally, but liked it so much that we booked in for another two at the end of our stay before flying out. I can't rate this highly enough - Patric and Mary were just... More

Mary and Patrick are the BEST hosts we have encountered in our over 50 years of travel. They arranged transportation for us, reserved tickets to the dance theater, advised us on places to buy souveniers, and even made sure we woke up in time for our 3 am flight. Their breakfast was unbelievable and was prepared with lots of love.... More
