Hotel vacation rentals in Kerala

Varun’ place was a well-run small hotel right on the shore of the backwaters in Kerala. There was a pool, many different areas to relax with a book. Canoes were available to paddle down stream. Varun was very helpful in arranging transportation for us, recommending activities and pointing us in the direction of a special art biennale which happened to be taking place in Kochi while we were there. The restaurant had a nice blend of Indian, continental with vegetarian options. We are planning on staying here on our next trip and highly recommend it. Gregory and Michèle

Excellent Place To stay this Villa from comfort Nest was too well equipped with all the essential requirements. And good coordination with from Raghu as well , Maintained well and hygiene , value for money Thank you for all your support and a Beautiful Stay .

Never had we stayed in a homestay before, but our stay at 4C’s little paradise was nothing short of magical. It was a great break from our daily monotonous life and staying in a cozy homely place away from home. The Rooms were clean, spacious, and well maintained and you cannot not fall in love with the old school vibe of the place.Special thanks to Aunty and Sharath for taking care of us like their own family and giving us the sweetest life lessons. The Food was amazing, the breakfast is not to be missed at all. We’re hoping to be back soon!

Our stay at Clayfingers was wonderful. The hosts and helpers were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The food was absolutely exceptional, a real highlight of our visit. Every meal was made with love and creativity. Breakfast is complimentary. The price for lunch / dinner was 500 rupees per each meal , per person. It’s also possible to purchase drinks and snacks for an extra fee. We particularly enjoyed spending time in the stunning garden, a peaceful oasis. Unfortunately we didn't have time for a pottery class, but it's definitely something we'd love to try on a future visit. One suggestion for the future would be to offer a filtered water refill station, reducing the need for single-use plastic bottles. This would align perfectly with the guesthouse's beautiful, natural setting and contribute to a more sustainable experience. Overall, we highly recommend Clayfingers for a relaxing and memorable stay. We look forward to returning

Rooms are specious and clean. We really liked the place. I recommend this place if you want to stay for longer time in Thekkady

What Sarah and Morden have built is very impressive and Sarah a brilliant cook. Clean lodge with wildlife surrounding - great bird (and monkey) watching. Just be aware location is very remote (as mentioned) and can get a bit cold at night. But hosts went above and beyond - giving us lifts and organising transport. Glad to be supporting all the work they do for stray dogs!

Good place to be with your friends and family

The place was located on the outskirts of vythri, surrounded by lush green trees, the resort has all basic amenities and was definitely worth the price we paid. The rooms were cleaned on Day 2 while we went to sight-seeing. Buffet breakfast was decent, nothing fancy. The lapista manager and staff were super courteous, humble and never threw any tantrums and attended all our requests on time. Also gave us recommendations and a free Honey museum tour. I would definitely recommend this place. Don't except 5star services at this price point.

Very kind and helpful hosts. appreciated that i could arrive a day earlier then expected. Gorgeous old world room!

Deafening Silence is all that prevails! The only noise that may probably break the stillness of your profound meditation would be the chirpy hummingbirds or the whispering leaves in the refreshing cool breeze... ‘Humming Breeze’, earlier known by the name ‘Humming Birds’ is a sprawling 6-acre thickly wooded hillside property overlooking the magnificent Brahmagiri Mountain range. Situated about 6km west of Mananthawady town on Kannur road easily accessible by a motorable road, your home away from home is a delight for anyone who loves admiring nature in stillness. The property has a numerous variety of fruit-bearing trees and flowers carefully brought and nurtured by these wonderful nature-loving Property owners. The uniqueness of this resort building is its extremely spacious construction, utilizing some of the exotic heritage woodwork from across the Malabar region and some of the windows and doors in its construction were over 200 years old. My wife and I stayed here for 7 nights and I specifically wanted to try out a Work-from-Anywhere protocol on a trial basis. The double room that I stayed was very modern, spacious, airy, and had a breathtaking view of the Brahmagiri Mountain ranges. The property had great Wi-Fi connectivity and I did not miss even a single video call due to any bandwidth issues. Very homely simple Kerala Breakfast was served as part of the package, and the rest of the meals we cooked when we got time in their fully equipped industrial kitchen. The owners of the property were very responsive and were extremely supportive of our needs. Vipin the caretaker for the property was also very helpful, and was available every time we needed any assistance. It was a dreamlike experience to work and enjoy a lovely holiday at the same time, and I would highly recommend everyone to try out this experience at least once!

The place is situated in a excellent location. Amidst tea estate, the morning view is exquisite. However, the route shown in google maps is not vehicle friendly. Check with the host or caretaker to find the better route. The dinner and breakfast were provided with extra cost. Food tasted pretty good. Overall it was a pleasant stay for us.

Awesome stay with stunning views from the rooms. Their continental food and buffet spread is fantastic. All activities like Cultural programmes ( Kuchipudi) , cooking classes in the evening, campfire and their high tea with a view were very thoughtful and much appreciative. Their swimming pool is neat and outside candle light dinner spot was good though couldn’t try as it needs to be pre booked before arrival. Courteous staffs especially Harish, Aleena and Maya in the reception were very helpful throughout the stay, they were kind and easily approachable. Room service were prompt and very reliable anytime. Overall a pleasant stay at Mountain courtyard and very memorable moments .

This place is so awesome you should plan a trip to Varkala just to enjoy this resort - the food, the staff, the location, the grounds -- amazing!

This place is AMAZING. Stunning location on the water, incredible cheap food and massive portions, lovely staff, the comfiest beds, gorgeous free toiletries, beautiful pool. They even have an onsite shop where they offer to tailor what you buy! Best place we stayed in Kerala.

A friend and I had a night to spend in Kochi, and were so happy to have found Tissa's Inn. We were greeted upon check-in with a cold, delicious ginger drink and a smile. They were flexible and understanding with our evolving check-in and check-out schedule, and we had great food in the restaurant. The rooms were spotless, the inn was nicely decorated and tidy, and the air conditioner made our room a haven from the early-summer heat outside. It turns out we were the first AirBnb guest to stay at Tissa's and were so glad we did!

The place is exactly as described and both Manoj and Lalitha, the caretakers are very responsive and helpful. The location is ideal with many restaurants and shops. We had a wonderful stay and would love to be back again at the place.

Gopal Ji was very responsive and friendly. Loved the stay. Peaceful and serene. Will stay there again in the future for sure.

I'm delighted to share my exceptional experience at Vijo's Heritage Property, a breathtaking 150-year-old tharavad nestled on the banks of the serene Manimala River. The property's unique charm lies in its stunning surroundings: - Riverfront views - Lush paddy fields - Vibrant gardens - Fresh fruits - Serene pond - Fishing activities - Rejuvenating Ayurveda massages Take a leisurely 4km walk along the riverbank, soaking in the gentle breeze and immersing yourself in authentic village life. The traditional Kerala lunch was outstanding, with the Kareemeen being a particular highlight. This was my second stay at Vijo's, and I'm thrilled to recommend it to anyone seeking an unforgettable experience.

Pristine location with a great view from the balcony. Spacious room and bathroom. Great manager who is kind and tries to address your concerns. It’s an ideal destination for a peaceful holiday.
