We absolutely loved our stay, we had a lovely warm welcome from the family who gave us little home made snacks. The room was clean and comfortable with toilet paper, soaps and bottled water. We loved the delicious home made South Indian breakfast with fresh pineapple juice and chai. Nice little outside area and inside seated area and dining table just outside the room on the same floor away from the rest of the house . We will definitely return if we go back to Kochi!

Nothing

Joy and the family were very sweet and accommodating. The room was very well located on a quiet street. Loved the balcony and the fact that it was on the second level. The hoist organized a backwaters tour for me.

The kitchen wasn’t in the best condition for me to cook in, and there were a lot of mosquitos in the room. Would consider getting a net for the bed.

Staff were approachable and friendly. Although I would ask for their mobile in case you need anything during stay. Thank you for helping me out with my money problems and organising the taxi Thank you for the early morning chai.

Was locked out of upstair common area that leads to rooms,when I went for a walk at night, managed to get back in with after a time - so good security just helpful to know.

The owner is very nice and helpful. The room was comfortable and quiet. The kitchen was well equipped. The location is good, and I rented a good bicycle nearby for 250 Rupees a day. This was one of my favorites places I've stayed in 4 months in India, both the homestay and Fort Kochi. Much better to stay in Fort Kochi than by Marine Drive. It's quiet for India and has so much character. I loved it. Thank you!!!

Nothing.

The location is perfect for time in Cochin and the hosts were very kind and helpful. Although the AC in our room didn't work they gave us two other rooms the following night with effective Aircon.

Simple and effective accomodation.

Great location. Lots of wardrobe space. Hot water. I did my laundry for Rs200 and hung it up on the floor above. I didn’t see much of the family but they were there if I needed anything.

The decor is quite tired looking

Joy's place is in a quite small road without traffic. The family is adorable, very friendly, kind and interested. Breakfast was excellent! The room with own bathroom is large and well equipped. Bathroom and shower are also large, well working and very clean. Beds are really comfortable and AC and fan well working. A shared kitchen is available, equipped with a huge fridge. This is an extra option and was highly appreciated! We very much recommend this Homestay!!

It was a lovely time at Lazar Residency. The room was really pretty and clean. The woman was amazing, she gave us lots of recommendations on where to go next and we could learn more about her life. She has a really sweet daughter who is also around.

Great room and fabulous to have access to a shared kitchen and space with only one other guest room. We didn’t make use of it as we were only on transit, but would definitely recommend did staying in Kochi !

Highly recommend. Excellent location, and a very friendly family. Comfortable, clean rooms with good beds and nice bathrooms. Our two rooms opened to a living room area so it was like a suite. We really appreciated the flexibility to check out late. Would definitely stay again!

Nothing — all great!
