Aleenas homestay

The hospitality

Na

Aleenas homestay war ganz wunderbar! Ich würd jedem empfehlen hier zu übernachten, wenn man Fort Kochi besucht! Das Zimmer hat alles was man braucht und sowohl Zimmer, als auch Badezimmer haben eine angenehme Größe und waren sehr sauber. Aleena und ihre Familie waren sooooo herzlich und hilfsbereit! Denn ich bin während meinem Aufenthalt krank geworden und musste dann länger bleiben, als geplant. Es war kein Problem das Zimmer zu verlängern, sie haben alle 3 Tage das Zimmer geputzt und mir frische Handtücher gegeben. Jeden morgen hat Aleena ganz lieb nachgefragt, wie es mir geht, mir einen Tee angeboten und sogar Essen für mich gekocht! Wirklich einzigartige Gastfreundschaft! Aleena hat mir auch sehr gute Empfehlungen für eine Backwater Tour und eine Ayurveda Massage gegeben. Ich war mit beidem sehr glücklich. Vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit bei euch!

Cozy and Beautiful Stay in Kochi I had a wonderful experience at this homestay. The place is cozy, clean, and beautifully maintained. The family is absolutely lovely—very warm, welcoming, and helpful. The food was delicious and felt like a true taste of home-cooked Kerala cuisine.

The only downside was the Wi-Fi connection, which was a bit unreliable at times. If you need strong internet for work, this might be a small challenge. Overall, I highly recommend this place for a peaceful and authentic stay in Kochi!

The hosts were exceptional, always available and ready to help, full of suggestions and open to chatting. I felt like home :) The location is very great in Fort Kochi, all good spots (beach, market, cultural area) are nearby. It is even possible to organize a one-day trip to backwaters on boat, with pickup from the homestay (I loved it). Finally, the room is perfect for solo travelers and I recommend this place. My next trip in India will start from here.

Beautiful family homestay with a short walk to most places of interest and 10 minute tuktuk if the heat beats you to anything else further afield. We opted for AC (make sure you select room with AC if this is what you require) Winnie, Joseph and their two children are great hosts, very welcoming, huge friendly smiles and helpful. Winnie cooked up beautiful breakfasts each morning and we also had dinner at the property too. All were delicious! And of very good value. Thank you Winnie 😊 Rooms are very clean and beds comfortable 🥳 there is constant hot water (first time in our 2month long trip) but you won’t need it! Cool showers are needed here at this time of year. If we are ever in Fort Kochi again, we would most definitely stay again without hesitation. Thank you once again for your hospitality 🙏🏼😊

Aleena’s Homestay is just as good as I expected. The room was spotless and we enjoyed the private patio outside the room. Fort Kochi is hot, so definitely opt for the A/C. Winnie and Joseph, the hosts, are so friendly and helpful. They greeted us with a warm smile and offered to help book tickets to shows and events without being pushy. They will even cook a meal for you, if you like. Winnie lent me her computer so I could book train tickets to Trivandrum, which saved us a lot of time and money. And Joseph kindly dropped us off at our next Homestay when we wanted to stay an additional night, and Aleena’s was fully booked. The location is a short walk from the busy center, but in return you get peace and quiet with lovely birdsong in the mornings. I highly recommend staying at Aleena’s if you’re looking for a clean and nice room with a private bathroom in Fort Kochi.

We totally enjoyed it. At first we just wanted to stay a thew nights, but then we extended our stay because we liked Kochi and the homestay so much. It’s really good located. We got breakfast, coffee even early in the morning, they did recommendations and also our laundry. The whole family is very warm-hearted. We really enjoyed our stay and can recommend it to everyone :)

A really lovely homestay, with warm and welcoming hosts. Our room was very comfortable and the balcony was great to have aswell. Great location too! We will come back on our next trip to Kochi

Lovely place! Clean place and convenient location a short walk from everything. The host family is nice. Bed is comfy, the room has a fan to keep you cool. Perfect for solo travelers and couples.

A very nice homestay with a clean room and comfortable beds. The family that runs the place is extremely helpful and kind. We couldn't thank them enough! I would recommend it to a couple looking for a quiet place in a good location.

Very enjoyable stay. The owner is so friendly and helpful and made us very welcome. She also recommended lots of things to do and see. Good size bedroom and enormous bathroom. Lovely balcony with seating & table. Comfy beds Very close and walkable to the attractions, shops & restaurants.

A few things would have been preferable. A fridge. An extra table to put suitcase on (to avoid having to empty everything out). The air con wasn't effective, even though we had the ceiling fan too. It was very difficult to see the stairs up to our room in the evening. A small sensor light would have helped.

Lovely, kind, welcoming family. Always available and making sure that needs of guest are met. Room is clean with modern refurbished bathroom/washroom. Hot water available immediately for hot shower. Bed large and comfortable. Small desk that can be used for working from/remote work. Large cupboard for storing clothes. Quiet and peaceful, enabling good nights sleep and rest. Also option to book tours directly with the Owner of property. Also available, scrumptious breakfast and other meals, lunch/dinner, I would return when I come back to Kerela. Thank you for welcoming me into your home.

Aleenas’ stay is absolutely recommended for exploring Kochi! The room is spacious and super clean and the hosts were amazing! The room is far away from traffic on a very quiet street. We were sad we had to leave only after one night!

We had a lovely time at the Aleenas homestay, the whole family was very welcoming and we really enjoyed the dinners! Winnie really is a great cook and I had the pleasure to see her cook and learn some of her Kerala recipes. We warmly recommend Aleenas homestay.

The property is no frill but very clean, safe and comfortable. The owners are extremely caring and would go out of their way to ensure guests have a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I was offered hot drinks every day of my visit They organised transport from and to airport ensuring taxis are prompt. They offered an excellent laundry service. They would provide good advice on where to go and what tours are worth taking part. I followed there advice and took part of the Backwater tour, what an unbelievable experience that was. There is an option to have a local style breakfast or dinner prepared by the owner, food freshly cooked and delicious. Property at ideal location to visit the majority of Fort Kochi’s place of interest. The property provides excellent value for money.

This is by no means a deal breaker but only my personal opinion: I stayed at venue for a week and would be nice if there was a TV on days one wanted to stay in A small fridge would be of benefit too, it will prevent ants from getting onto food or keeping drinks cold( though the owner offered to keep my water in their personal fridge) I was in the room with no air con so was attacked by mosquitoes, might be an idea if guests using that room were provided with some sort of mosquitoes repellent. I prefer to sleep in very dark room and would have preferred curtains that black out lights. As I say above are just personal preferences and would not in anyway prevent me from returning to the venue in The future.

Nice homestay in a good location to explore Fort Kochi. Very friendly hosts who offered to provide food and tips for activities but also backed off when we declined (which we really appreciated). Separate entrance to the room and a nice terrace to relax.

We had a wonderful time at Aleena’s Homestay! The room was comfortable with wifi, AC, ceiling fan, and a beautiful bathroom. Excellent walkable location to the center of Fort Kochi. Most of all, enjoyed the family’s kind hospitality and amazing cooking! Would definitely stay again!

Nothing!

Super clean, perfect location (you can reach everything by walk, both shopping or sightseeing places), the family who will host you is super kind, nice and helpful. Perfect if you travel alone, you will feel like home. I stayed one night only but I wish I could stay more!! The room is spacious and light, the AC works perfectly, the balcony is very nice and the bathroom is new with hot water.

Everything was perfect.

We had a very nice stay at Aleenas . The host was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean, and the location was nice and quiet .

It was very hot during day and night, and the AC was not included in the price. We needed to pay half the price of the room for using it for one day

Good room and calm location. The hosts are extremely nice people. Would stay here again.

Really enjoyed staying here. Super lovely and hospitable family. Really nice location walking distance to main Fort Kochi sights but not too close to the mega tourists. Quiet neighbourhood feel. Winnie’s a super cook too. RECOMMEND!!!

Nothing

The home stay is within a walk of all the main attractions in Fort Kochi, and you can also walk to Mantancherry which was great. We also had our best food in Kochi at the home stay - Winnie is a great cook and it was lovely having home cooked breakfast and dinner at the property.

The hosts are quite friendly and helpful. They suggested a few things to do around, and answered our curious questions on all else we wanted to do, eg. visiting Kumbalangi and going out for Christmas. They also helped us in hiring a bike for two days.

What makes this place so special is Winny! She gave us great recommendations, was really helpful in finding out information for us and could never do enough to make sure we had a wonderful stay. It's in a fantastic location, super accessible to everywhere. Would recommend opting in for the breakfast!

Aleena's homestay was a truly wonderful place to stay at. The hostess and her family were incredibly kind, helpful, and caring. The room was nice and tidy, the best part was the beautiful terrace where I could eat delicious, freshly cooked meals prepared by the owner. The location was great, close to many attractions. I highly recommend choosing this place for a stay in Kochi!

Very close to everything In kochi, easy to walk around. Winny was super helpful in offering general advice on the area and we loved the cups of tea. Very friendly couple

location wise great. great food at home.

The room and bathroom was clean and not too small. We got tea in the morning. It was a comfortable stay. Hosts were helpful and no nonsense.

The water in the washroom was wonky, the water was too hot and the controls didn't work well. Finding the place on google maps was tough, map routes were wrong. You want to follow the car route and not the walking route.

I felt very comfortable, the hosts were friendly and helpful offering information and beakfast. Good price performance.

Very friendly family who will help you with everything and fulfill every wish. The rooms have everything you need and are very clean.

Lovely family who did everything to ensure we had a comfortable stay. Delicious homemade food, chai and coffee too! Everything was wonderful.

Everything about the stay was good. But about the weather: March is probably not the best time to travel to Kochi. Extremely hot, humid and sunny making sightseeing very uncomfortable.

best homestay in Kochi Fort ! thank you

Clean and comfortable room with en suite in the centre of Fort Kochi. Winny was very helpful and gave great advice about the area. We would love to stay again!

I signed up for a cooking class and a spice shop tour. I was treated very kindly and was able to eat delicious breakfast and dinner. We appreciate your prompt response to our request so that we can enjoy our stay. The facility is spacious and the shower and toilet facilities are clean.

Winny and the family were warm, welcoming and incredibly accommodating of our needs. Winny is a fantastic chef, the food we ate at the homestay was the best food we had in all of Fort Kochi. If you're looking to explore Kerala cuisine, especially meat, she's going to take good care of you. We loved not needing to worry about breakfast and dinner, knowing that we can start and end the day with a very satisfied belly. There was help with getting a bike on rent, and the room was clean and comfortable.

Their hospitality. Very welcoming nature. Everything is beyond our expectations. Very tasty food and traditional food they offered. I suggest whoever is planning to visit fort kochi try to stay in this property.Great experience. Thank you Mr. Owner🙏 Really enjoyed.

Nothing to dislike.

Owners of Homestay were very cooperative, comfortable and helpful. Food was Super Good.

It could have been more clean. Especially the cupboard.

Winny and her family is super friendly and helpful! Very nice stay in a silent side street!

can’t really fault this place - really nice big room with good AC (essential!!) and nice private balcony area (only AC room). good location in a quiet neighbourhood 10 min walk from the main bit of fort kochi. breakfast was nice. lovely hot water in the bathroom. nice family running this place.

wifi didn’t work very well & no free filter water

Winny and her family are so kind and accommodating. The room was clean and comfortable. The homestay is well located for visiting the main sights in Fort Kochi and within walking distance of many restaurants. Winny also cooked us an amazing Keralan breakfast. Thank you Winny for an excellent stay :)

Aleenas homestay is well located at a quite street and just a walk away from the main attractions at Fort Kochi. We enjoyed our sparkling clean room with a lovely balcony to relax. Winny and her family are just gorgeous! They helped us out with everything we needed. We highly recommend staying here and try Winnys tasty breakfast!

Amazing hosts, very welcoming and helped wherever they could, very clean, very comfortable, delicious breakfast, very good location, all the main sights are within walking distance

Everything was great :)

Really nice authentic homestay in walking distance to Fort Kochi. The family is so friendly and will make you feel at home! We could leave our luggage here for our round trip through the area!

Location

Nice homestay in a quiet family area very close - walking distance- to Fort Koch cafes, promenade etc. and also to the Palace Rd. We had the room upstairs with a nice private terasse, All was very clean and the whole family was very nice & helpful. On request Winnie makrs you a beautiful homemade breakfast for 150.- and also very tasty masala chai or ginger water. In the room there is a fan & also AC and Wiifi was also very good most of the times. We enjoyed staying here - thanks for all!

The location was great, the room was exceptionally clean and hot water worked well. The hosts were helpful in organising things to do.

The wifi didn’t really work, we paid an exceptional amount for dirty laundry - it still smelt as though it had not been properly washed and maintained many stains. Although the hosts used an external person to do the laundry, they charged way more than we’ve ever had to pay in Sri Lanka and India which we were very unhappy about. Additionally, we were told our first mornings breakfast was “free of charge” when we stepped through the door yet we were still charged for it. We also felt as if we were somewhat pushed into having dinner, despite us saying we wanted to try many restaurants in the area, to which we were spoken over and told we should ‘just have dinner here’, food was nice tasting but didn’t like the way it was handled. Finally i should add that in comparison to many home stays we have been to in India, we felt as though they were trying to get as much money from us as possible, including a compulsory paid breakfast. We were told the time that breakfast will be ready for on our second morning, without ever being asked if we actually wanted it. Arguably a lot of responsibility lays on us to speak up when necessary but it was our first experience like this.

Please try to provide comforter for AC rooms Otherwise everything is ok Excellent Good food Owner is very nice guy

This place was a nice as expected; comfortable and well located. What made it amazing was the attitude and helpfulness of the owners who live there. They were so friendly and kind, I cannot recommend this place highly enough. Well located for access to all parts of Fort Cochin.

Nothing!

Clean and safe place to stay in Fort Kochi

No car parking

The location is perfect. The rooms were clean with good ambience. The hosts were friendly and kind. Felt really good staying there.
