“Wedding in india”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 April 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Sincere apologies for the late delay in sharing this absolute pleasurable Homestay.
Jenny /Jose and team welcome you to India with the biggest open arms that anyone could wish for. We travelled to India for a friends wedding. Jenny was more than re-assuring with our "different" adventure. The upmost support, not only in re-assurance of a different environment, but the welcoming to our family was outstanding.
The food that Jenny prepares and delivers is of a 5* standard. Nothing is too much trouble,she even prepared seperate food for my picky daughter each evening without duress.
The "homestay" falls under the catorgory of being palacial and exceptionally Grande.
Our drivers, Dileep and Sajeev well... we certainly had some laughs together. They also catered to our every needs, delivering up and above a day duty.
Thank-you to you all... We will certainly never our forget our Christmas 2010 in India. That is mainly down to the opportunity that you guys gave us.
Anyone wishing to explore this part of India ....Do not hesitate to stay with Jenny/Jose and team. You will not be disappointed. This region is fantastic to see, many , many highlights.
We will return to India in the Future, not only to see other parts, but to re-visit sincere people who made our trip totally worth while.
Many Thanks,
Ian,Nicola, Tim,Sue,Claudia.

Room Tip: Do not hesitate. a must

“A Very Grand Homestay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 March 2011

This is an extremely beautiful house, run by a lovely couple Jenny & Jose assisted by very helpful staff. The room was large and very comfortable with a balcony. The food was excellent and generous, each meal being a different Kerala speciality with delicate spices and flavours.
Even though this home stay is quite a long way out of town it is only a 50-60 rupee auto to the boat jetty for Fort Cochin
Very high on our list of recommendations !

“very efficient and effective operation”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 March 2011

We used Jenny and Fourens Travel to supply us with car and driver for a 4 weeks tour of Kerala and neighbouring states. The driver (Dileep) was informative and excellent in dealing with wild Indian traffic without fuss. Jenny also sorted out a number of issues for us and also provided hospitality at Le Royale. We had already booked alternative accomodation in Fort Cochin but from looking round Le Royale and having a meal there would have no problem in recommending the accomodation to anyone looking for a bse in Kochi

“Fantastic homestay with great hosts”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2011

This was our first visit to India; we chose to stay at the Le Royale Homestay in Ernakulum having visited Fort Cochin and Kovalam. We selected Le Royale using Trip Advisor and we were not disappointed. We were collected from the rail station as agreed and taken to Le Royale, Jenny Jose and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Their home was lovely we had a large bedroom and large bathroom. The house was lovely and clean the bathroom has a shower. We had booked, bed breakfast and evening meal, in part, to sample real home Indian cooking and part due to the location of the house which is in a quiet part of town but a bit out of the way, for walking out at night.
The food was fantastic, we were made to feel welcome and everyone was willing to help with information, we would have loved to stay longer but had to catch a flight. We had booked a flight transfer with Jenny even though it meant leaving at 05.45 hrs. Thank you for a lovely stay.
