Die Lage der Unterkunft ist gut und wir haben viele Tipps von Saj bekommen. Die wichtigsten Orte sind fußläufig erreichbar. Das Zimmer war sehr sauber und die Dusche funktioniert gut. Wir konnten Frühstück direkt vor Ort dazubuchen.
Lovely family who really look after you
Very comfortable high quality stay in the heart of Kochi. Mr. Saj, the owner of the property, personally attended to all of our needs and went above and beyond to accommodate even our smallest wishes. I couldn’t have dreamed of as nice hospitality and so many different complementary services with very good tea, quick laundry, local guidance and a personal touch with all of them. Immense respect for Mr. Saj and his team for taking care of us so well.
Spacious and clean rooms, fantastic service and a delicious breakfast.
The room was very comfortable with soundproofed windows and strong AC. Saj was a welcoming and friendly host. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom clean. I would stay again!
Nothing!
Great place to stay, clean comfortable and Saj sorted me out on my trip to munnar with a lovely driver which was much appreciated. Much recommended.
Bra service och kommunikation. God frukost. Fick massa bra tips av ägaren. Skön säng o dusch. Bra läge.
Inget. Allt bra.
Tout a été parfait. L’accueil, les chambres, le petit déjeuner. La situation est idéale pour une visite de Kochi. Notre hôte très disponible et attentionné nous a été d’une aide précieuse
Rien
Saj is a very helpfull and friendly host. The homestay is in a perfect location and they serve very good breakfast. 100% recommanded!
Topguesthouse met een topeigenaar
Very welcoming and attentive host. In over three weeks of traveling through India it was one of the few places to provide a hair dryer. It's a small detail, but it shows a level of attentiveness to the service Saj provides! Good location too.
le personnel très aimable
nous avons pris un chauffeur avec organisation d'un parcours pour Munnar avec l'établissement qui s'est écourté car beaucoup de choses étaient fermées, finalement nous avons payé une nuit d'hôtel pour rien car nous sommes partis plus tôt
Propre, confortable, bon accueil
Great location - easy to get to the front, and other sites, but quiet in room. Warm and friendly welcome from Saj and helpful suggestions and recommendations. Good breakfast. Very clean.
Nothing. A fan on the room balcony would be good.
Feels like home with an amazing breakfast cooked for you each day. But also you get your privacy. Felt incredibly comfortable here and safe. It’s VERY clean.
No complaints!
Very clean and comfortable. Saj was extremely friendly and very knowledgable. He helped us plan our trip and organised a driver and accommodation in Munnar.
We always love a balcony in our room but this place did not have one.
Although on a very busy road our room was quiet and cool with a fan Tea and coffee could be made 24hr All amenities are close by if you are arriving from abroad SIM card money change restaurants Saj our host was extremely helpful arranging pick up from airport advising pharmacy for ailment and generally a great guy
N/A
The manager is very helpful. Clean and silent.
Nothing
Saj is awesome. He’s a really nice guy, a great communicator, and he runs a tight ship in this place. It was spotlessly clean and honestly was nicer than a lot of midrange hotels. We only stayed for one night but would’ve been happy to stay longer.
Nothing that I can think of relating to the property specifically. Didn’t like staying in the area as much as I thought we would - the nearby restaurants are mostly kind of pretentious, expensive, and tourist-focused, and it’s a trek from the railway station or airport. But none of that is Saj’s fault!
Tolle, saubere Unterkunft mitten in Fort Kochi mit großartigem Service des Hosts, der einem wertvolle Tipps für den Aufenthalt und das Sightseeing in Kochi gibt
la gentilezza del proprietario
il letto aggiuntivo era praticamente un materasso buttato a terra e la stanza rispetto alle foto era molto più piccola e molto meno bella.
We did not have breakfast
The owner was a special person who went out of his way to make our stay comfortable. He creates such a wonderful environment and make special arrangements. He is the kind of host who goes out of his way to make your stay pleasant. Anybody who wants to get a sense of the environment and wants to stay in a comfortable place this should be your first choice. A very memorable trip
Saj is a wonderful host and made us feel very at home. The room was lovely and clean, and the breakfast was amazing too! Would highly recommend:)
Saj is a great host, I really enjoyed talking with him and he advised me on where to go around in Kerala. Without him my trip wouldn’t have been the same. Also his Kerala breakfast was amazing, every day I experienced a different dish, always delicious!
The mattress was a bit hard
Room was new and clean, Saj very friendly host. Very good location. Highly recommended!
Very clean place, nice owner, delicious breakfast.
Really nice room with big comfortable bed conveniently close to all the sights in Fort Cochin. Saj is a great host and very helpful.
Nothing to complain about
Really nice and comfortable stay. The room was clean and quiet, great shower. I had the Kerala breakfast every morning and it was delightful. Saj was a great host, informative but not annoying you know.
N/A
The breakfasts were fantastic and the staff excellent. Very conveniently located
Great place for exploring Fort Kochi. Host was very helpful. The family were very friendly. The room was a good size with good a/c and facilities. Host recommended Mary's kitchen for meals -really good.
Nothing
Good location. Easy walk to everywhere in Fort Cochin. Bit noisy as on a main road but we requested a quiet room which Saj kindly provided.
Bit noisy.
This was a homestay. Saj, the owner was a very friendly and helpful person. The staff were very hospitable. The bathroom fittings and plumbing all worked very well. The room was very comfortable. The location is excellent. All the main attractions in Fort Kochi were within walking distance.
We had to climb two flights of stairs to get to our rooms. Although staff helped us to carry our luggage. There was no tea-coffee arrangement in the rooms.
Saj is a brilliant host - good information & recommendations. Perfect location in Fort Cochin. Saj connected us with drivers for visits & kayak trips in Alleppey Nice guy, fantastic local knowledge, great English. Lots of useful things ( international adaptors in each room, mosquito spray , hairdryer etc) I recommend you contact Saj in advance for advice & he is v commercial. V responsive & helpful
The host, Saj, was very helpful. Centrally located. ATM in same building.
Location is very good, close to explore Kochi. Saj is very helpfull. We recommended.
None
As has been said by many people, the owner Saj is very helpful. He arranged Kathakali tickets for us and a car and driver to Periyar and the backwaters. There is an ATM on the premises which is very helpful if you have just arrived in India. Breakfast was great with lots of fresh fruit.
There is a lot of street noise. Our room was at the back of the building so it didn't affect our sleep, but the breakfast area is not quiet.
The hospitality was great.
They could add a few more power sockets to the rooms. Minor thing really
Saj, our host, was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was homemade and very good. Good location.
À perfect start to our visit to Kerala. A fantastic authentic breakfast. Saj was incredibly helpful, giving us lots of helpful advice for all of our trip in the state.
Saj and his staff were very friendly. A few mins walk to the main bit of Fort Cochi. Refillable water. Decent shower. OK breakfast. Nice balcony, though over the busy road.
On quite a chaotic busy road, but only a few mins walk to the main bit. Room decor was ok, but not great. WiFi was a bit in and out in room, but generally worked well. A lot of mosquitoes.
The owner was extremely helpful in making suggestions both for Kochi and for our further trip. The room and bathroom were good, clean and nice, the Indian breakfast was delicious
A little bit noisy from the street and not cheap compared to other places
Home made breakfast. Non spicy per my request. Local Kerala fare, with explanations. Fruit and coffee also provided.
Lots of street noise.
Our stay at Saj homestay was perfect! Saj was so helpfull and knows how to organize a good tour. We booked the backwaters tour and we went to Munnar. It was great! Also the breakfast is delicious, location is great and room is very comfortable and clean :)
The perfect place to start our holiday in Kerala as owner Saj super helpful with recommendations and organising trips and transport. Three different Kerala breakfasts on successive mornings served by the delightful Shobu
I had a great stay at Sajhome! The property is well located within a central area of Fort Kochi - just a few minuets walking distance from all the cool spots in the fort. The property owner was really helpful and provided recommendations for sightseeing and routh planning. The room was clean, had all the basic amenities needed, and the wifi was working well. Breakfast was excellent, with a choice between Indian or Continental breakfast style.

Very helpful and kind staff Breakfast was wonderful Very clean, had a good night sleep As a solo traveler I felt very safe and at ease .
Saj and his wife were wonderful hosts to us. Their home is clean and beautiful, the breakfast is great, and the location is perfect for getting to all of Kochi’s best-known tourist attractions. Saj was also extremely helpful to us in planning the next leg of our trip and arranging a driver to take us around Kerala. Saj went out of his way to make sure we had a great trip!
Saj & his staff were great hosts and gave good guidance about sights and restaurants in Kochi! Both days the breakfasts were super-delicious and very affordable (250INR per person and day)! AC worked well. Drinking water was provided in reusable bottles, reducing plastic consumption. Saj organized a cab from the airport for us.
Our shower in the bathroom only had a small curtain covering only one side of the shower, so after showering the whole bathroom was flooded. Since I booked through booking.com, Saj added booking.com's commission on top of the advertised booking amount, which I think is not supposed to happen. I understand that taxes are not included in the advertised amount, but the commission should be included in the advertised price to avoid unexpected surprises.
Perfect location with an amazing host who goes above and beyond to ensure a great stay!
SajHome was the perfect choice for our mother-daughter trip. The room was clean, the bed comfortable, the shower has perfect pressure (hot and cold), one can choose a/c or fan. Filtered water (RO) at the ready and lovely staff, which is most important! Saj-ji is very informative and helpful. He also fully understands dietary requirements (gluten-free in our case) and arranged for the most delicious, gluten-free breakfasts every single day. Fruit, curds, and every day a different and delicious gluten-free local delicacy (the fluffiest rice-based 'pancakes' with a mild and perfect for breakfast coconut-based vegetable curry, tapioca with grated coconut, what-have-you!) The homestay is located conveniently close to all sites and the environment is 100% hassle free. What is more, just downstairs is an ATM and a travel hub where our tickets to various other places in Kerala were booked swiftly and helpfully. Highly recommended and would love to return here as a base for our next explorations around the state!
Perfect host, friendly and helpful in all aspects. Centrally located and easy reach to Kochi beach area.. Clean and comfortable rooms with modern bathroom and excellent shower. Good local breakfast. Will certainly recommend this homestay.
Nothing.
Saj is a super helpful host and went out of his way to ensure that I could navigate my way around the city and answered any questions I had at any time. He also let me check out later. It was good as you wouldn't get that type of personal attention in a hotel. Traditional breakfast was good, room was very clean, had air con and was serviced and cleaned daily without having to ask. Good value for money overall and would stay again. Location is also good and close to attractions, WiFi was perfect.
Bed was basic and too hard for my liking but it didn't trouble me overall.
We received such a warm welcome from Saj and his wife I'd booked homestays in the hope for a personal touch and I wasn't disappointed. Saj was full of great advice about how we should spend our 3 day stay, which we followed and as a result made the most of our time in Fort Kochi. He booked tickets for Kathakali and onwards travel to Alleppey as well as a subsequent journey. Traditional Keralan breakfasts were delicious served with fresh fruit. The rooms were comfortable and there is communal tea and coffee making facilities. A perfect start to our trip. I'd highly recommend Saj homestay.
Nothing
Amazing stay! The breakfast was the best we had in our long trip around the country :)
Nothing
Chose here based on the reviews, and I got to experience what those positive reviews had to say.
Comfortable, clean room with modern bathroom and plenty of storage and surface space for luggage etc. Sajhome is a close distance to restaurants and sites in Fort Kocki. Good value for money, and Saj couldn’t have been a better host. He’s friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and made our arrival, stay and departure easy.
Nothing
The host was very friendly and helpful.
The amount for the stay was a bit pricey
The breakfast was great. we asked Saj to give us authentic Kerala style breakfast but also to make the flavors mild for my German girlfriend, and he provided us with home cooked traditional keralean breakfast which was very delicious while also keeping it easy for my partner to eat. She also enjoyed the food greatly. The food was also different each day, so we got to experience different breakfast items. He had also said that continental breakfast was also available if we chose that.
Saj and his staff absolutely go out of the way to make your stay comfortable. Everything is clean and well maintained. If my family is ever in fort cochin again it will be nice to hang out and stay in this little gem of a place
Nothing really
Saj is the absolute best host ever! Extremely helpful and friendly, very knowledgeable about the area. He really goes above and beyond! The location is great and the room is super clean and comfortable.
Everything was great!
Saj homestay is lovely place for a couple under budget, saj helped us book all rides with reliable drivers, Great kerala breakfast we had! If ur into fancy stay and high level interiors, saj won't be the place but I can only tell that Overall our 3 days trip was neat and clean, well maintained rooms and priority towards cleanliness is appreciated... We had 24/7 access to coffee,hot water shower and filtered water which are the main essentials for any trip We definitely recommend and looking forward for many
Very kind and helpful host who organised my visit to Kerela from mountains to the backwaters. Rooms had AC and were very clean. Breakfast was amazing and homemade.
Nothing to write here.
He was super helpful, also booking a cab on our trip forward! Cozy and comfortable homestay in a top notch location. + very nice breakfast!
Saj is an exceptional host. He was extremely helpful in all regards and always sent us great options for everything. The room was comfortable and the breakfast was lovely. We really enjoyed the homely vibe there. The chinese nets, beach and pretty much all cafes are at a 10mins walking distance. Sweet.
Blaming it on the heat, the water in the taps was piping hot and I am not the one for hot showers haha.
Easy Access to all Beaches and attractions, walking distance. Owner takes personal responsibility of guests and all their needs. Breakfast was lovely, great Indian experience. Restaurants referred by owner in close proximity and value for money, reasonable rates. Assisted with exchange of currency with banks. First visit to India and this accommodation is highly recommend
Nothing
A great homestay! It's cozy, the host is very friendly, delicious breakfast :)
Saj is super friendly and efficient, he goes out of his way to make sure you have a holiday stay thats above and beyond 😁 His breakfast is wonderful and so tasty.
Perfect
Great hosts, easy to get around Kochi and plan trips. Breakfast was delicious!
Really helpful host, excellent breakfast and very comfortable room at a short distance from some of the coolest streets in Kochi
The host was super helpful and a wealth of information on any and everything. He organised rides for us and told us the best places to see and best stores to shop at.
I can't fault this place!
Good location, nice hosts
Room was fairly small as was the bed
The owner was extremely knowledgeable and helpful which was invaluable for us in our first visit to India. His recommendations of where to eat and where to buy things were all good.
Nothing. It was good.
We loved having a small outdoor terrace and easy access to main sites. Breakfast was enjoyable and plentiful and dosas were amazing.
Lack of sockets in room.
Lovely place and Saj was super helpful! Great breakfast in the morning.
Saj great host .Welcoming and friendly gave great suggestions on places to go , restaurants to eat at which I tried and would also recommend Seagull restaurant on the front . Nice breakfast . Booked 1 night stopped 2 . Central location . Clean . Reasonable priced .
No access to a fridge . Due to a power failure no electricity but not the property's fault just one of those things .
Saj and his wonderful helper were great hosts and couldn’t be more helpful. The property is centrally located.
Nothing
I liked Saj hospitality, very kind man, helpful and caring. He helped with recommendations and attractions. The room was clean, the shower looked like it was renovated recently.
The mattress was a bit hard.
Saj could not have been more kind and helpful.
Comfortable stay with personalised service from Saj anything wanted to know Saj was there to make my stay stress free. From organising a backwater tour cheaper than anybody. Breakfast was perfect a blend local home cooked food to continental. Would definitely stay here again.
Nothing everything was good
Great aircon, fan inside the room which was very important as it was very hot and humid in Kochi when we were staying. The breakfasts provided were absolutely superb as well as being different each day . Saj was also very easy to communicate with and arranged to meet us when we arrived late the first night and also helped us book a backwater tour and local dancing. Great location near attractions in Fort Kochi.
What a fantastic stay we had at Saj Home. Saj is the most welcoming, accommodating host. After a long journey we were delighted to stay at his comfortable spotless accommodation. Nothing was too much trouble. Delicious breakfasts and local recommendations from Saj made our stay extra special. Highly recommend. Stay here you won’t regret it.
Loved staying with Saj and his family - they were really helpful with everything we needed, and the breakfast dosas were the best we had in India
Saj arranged a transfer for me from the airport and even though my flight was delayed and I got delayed at the airport the driver was still waiting for me when I came out. My bag didn’t arrive on my flight with me and Saj went above and beyond helping me get my bag back even after I had checked out. The room was spacious, very clean, with great air con. The bathroom was nice and had everything I needed. The location was good and handy for everything there is to see in Fort Kochi. The Kerelan breakfast was also very tasty and came with fresh fruit.
Nothing.
The friendliness of Saj and his staff member
It was all good. Not luxurious but comfortable and great value for the price.
Saj very helpful. Central location.
Few ants in bed.
