Rooms itself are good but the place stinks. The smell that comes from backwaters and also there is a fish export building next to it and it smells horrible. Whole night they were loading boxes over the trucks and we could not sleep. Just horrible....

After reading the good reviews here and at other places, we had made a reservation for this place via hostelworld.com for two nights (including the payment of a deposit!). Upon arrival, we were told that they had never heard of that reservation, that the family was coming and that they had no room. They were obviously lying about the reservation... More

I stayed at Carldale in March 2011 and found the experience most satisfactory. The property is located very conveniently, just a few minutes distance from the Ernakulam Railway Junction.

Villa is kept really neat and clean and the helper who stays in the villa did an excellent job of attending for our... More

We were 6 of us who stayed in three rooms : My parents stayed in one room, my wife and and I stayed in the second room and the two kids stayed in the third room. The place was very clean and homely and only for us, unlike being in a large hotel with too many people around. Our trip... More

This was our first stay in a homestay but i must confess that it was better than some of the star hotels around the world. The comfort was excellent and the hospitality of Mrs Patricia and Mr Carlton was commendable. As i titled the stay here as " Heaven in God`s own country", it was truly a top class experience... More
