Aaron's Homestay

Mr. Johnson is a perfect host with a lovely home and a wonderful family. The place is clean and safe as could be. Well maintained and looked after. The location is great- close enough to the main attractions but still quite and peaceful. The owner helped us with transport to our next destination and he is so reliable, trustworthy and kind that we continued to use his good services even after we left his homestay.

Nothing at all

Host was very courteous, good. The washroom was neat and clean

A mirror could be given along with some hangers inside the room

The highlight was the kindness of the host family. I arrived feeling sick, and Johnson kindly prepared a rice soup to help settle my stomach. He also helped me arrange a taxi to another city at a very reasonable price. The room and bathroom were comfortable, and the location was excellent - just a 5 minute walk from the city center, while being in a quieter area away from the noise. The rooftop was also a nice place to relax.

The Wi-Fi was a bit weak at times, and the bed could be a bit more comfortable.

The kindness of the host family. The rooftop.

To get to the property you have to pass a small area which was very dirty . I know this is often the case in India , but I wish the neighbours would keep the area clean . And the host family could perhaps do something about this. There are a few guest houses and the nature is espectacular . So the rubbish is offensive . The home stay is super clean.

Its clean and neat

No tea/coffee or food available inside the property or nearby as well.. we have to swiggy it only

Incredibly helpful and friendly host, very convenient location close to Fort Kochi yet calm and peaceful, comfortable room and beautiful rooftop terrace. We would definitely stay again at Aaron’s homestay!

Bonne expérience à Aaron’s Homestay, famille accueillante et emplacement idéal pour découvrir Kochi! Je recommande sans hésitation!

Very comfortable and clean room

Great location in fort kochi. Everything in walking distance but slightly out of the busy area so it was nice and quiet. Very clean room and Johnson was very helpful

The stay is at walkable distance to almost all attractions. There are bike rentals close to the stay if required. The room was very clean and spacious. The room was cozy with all facilities. There was 24 hr hot water supply. The room had a private balcony too with sit-out and to dry clothes. The terrace had a beautiful setup with swing and so many plants. The host and their family were very welcoming. We can even book tickets for kathakali centre at the stay. We got seats with a great view. There is a shared kitchen also.

Its a little walk away from the main road. Parking space is not available.

Nice host. Ac in room worked and is crucial. Wifi fine, but are occasional town power outages. Host a nice helpful guy.

Bit more space, but was inexpensive. Booking.com said takes credit cards, but not so.

Das Budgetzimmer war zwar nicht groß, für mich alleine aber ausreichend Es war sehr sauber, schönes, neueres Badezimmer, heisse Duschen, Klimaanlage und Ventilator sehr leistungsstark, gute, zentrale aber ruhige Lage, sehr schöne Dachterasse. Es wird zwar kein Frühstück angeboten, dafür gibt es aber eine schöne kleine Gemeinschafs- Küche mit Gasherd, Kühlschrank und sogar einer italienischen Macchinetta. Sich morgens bereits ab 7 Espresso oder auch Frühstück machen zu können, fand ich sogar sehr angenehm, da der Kaffee sonst auf meiner Reise in den Homestays oft nicht wirklich gut/sehr schwach war bzw das Frühstück meist erst ab 8 möglich war . Frühstücksoptionen sowohl preiswert südindisch als auch in diversen Cafés hochpreisiger international in der Nähe verfügbar.

I loved the attention to detail! A highly functional place - it has everything a person needs and even though the rooms are not too big they are perfectly sized to be well lit, arranged with properly sized furniture so it becomes very easy to unwind. The terrace is also a lovely place in the evenings. For anything else, John’s family is so welcoming to help around.

Just a short walk from the main road. For a backpacker it is perfect, might be a little inside for older people but as long as walking only 100 mts is okay, a beautiful and comfortable place awaits.

Nos sentimos muy comodos en Aaron's homestay. La familia dueña del lugar es muy amable y atenta a las necesidades de los huéspedes. Todo esta muy prolijo y perfectamente limpio. Cuenta con cocina, lo cual para nosotros fue muy comodo. La ubicacion tambien esta muy buena. Te podes mover caminando sin problemas dentro ds Fort Kochi

Meine Übernachtung in Aaron‘s Homestay war wunderbar. Mein Zimmer war sehr sauber & ordentlich, zudem gab es eine gut funktionierende Klimaanlage und kostenloses Trinkwasser. Besonders gemacht haben meinen Aufenthalt allerdings Johnson und seine super nette Familie - besonders als ich Probleme hatte Geld abzuholen, hat Johnson mir schnell geholfen. Ich kann einen Aufenthalt absolut empfehlen.

Great location and super clean! The owner and family is very helpful and nice! Highly recommended !

Es war picobello sauber, auf dem Balkon waren ein Tisch und zwei Stühle mit Blick auf die Palmen zum wunderbaren Ausklingen des Abends. Die Zimmerfenster und Türen waren mit Moskitogitter versehen. Innherhalb unseres Aufenthalts von 10 Tagen war nicht ein Moskito im Zimmer- großartig. Sehr schön war auch die große Dachterasse mit herrlichen bunten gepflegten Blumen. Hervorzuheben ist auch der Chef des Hauses, der jederzeit hilfsbereit und sehr freundlich war.

Clean and homely feel

Super clean, tidy and cozy. The owner was very sweet, helpful and accommodating. Despite showing up too early and the rooms being fully booked, they helped us keep our luggage safe and provided us a place to freshen up. Really made our short trip easy!

Aaron’s Homestay is a great pick if you’re looking for a comfortable and budget-friendly stay in Fort Kochi. The location is a major highlight—centrally placed and easily accessible to most tourist attractions in the area. You’ll find plenty of restaurants and bike rental options nearby, which makes exploring super convenient. The Fort Kochi Water Metro station is just a quick 5-minute drive away, adding to the overall ease of getting around. The stay itself is well-maintained and offers all the basic amenities you’d need for a relaxed trip. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and well-kept, along with neat and hygienic bathrooms. There’s also a common terrace where you can unwind and just chill after a long day of exploring. What really stands out is the hospitality—the host is friendly, helpful, and makes sure your stay is smooth and hassle-free. Overall, Aaron’s Homestay delivers great value for money and is a solid choice for anyone visiting Fort Kochi on a budget.

Très bon emplacement a proximité des centres d'intérêt mais loin de l'agitation de la ville.

La présence d'escalier peut geber les personnes âgées, de même que l'accès direct à la maison n'est pas possible en voiture.

Hospitality and the host was great. Stay was very cozy.

I really recommend that place! The owner and his family are lovely people! The room was very comfortable and clean.

Very clean and amazing location, the family is super available to help you with everything you may need, definitely save this Homestay if you’re travelling to Kochin

Everything was perfect

L'accueil chaleureux, La chambre confortable et propre L'emplacement sympathique dans un quartier qui permet d'accès au Fort Cochin historique

Host excellent, very helpful. Room very clean, close to some eateries and shops. Lovelly roof top terrace. Mosquito nets. Aarons drive to assist all guests is admirable.

Not aarons homestay fault but only way to get to his homestay is passing a dirty swamp like hole in wasteland before lead up to aarons. Once passed that it is clean and straight forward to aarons.

Very quiet, clean and well-located homestay with very nice, friendly owners. Great shower, good wifi, AC included. Lovely roof terrace. We stayed for 2 nights and I would be very happy to stay here again.

The twin room we had was quite small for two people but it was the only one that was available.

The clean and neat stay and great hospitality. Cordial, helpful and genuine.

It was excellent!y

L accueil, la qualité et la gentillesse du propriétaire du lieu qui nous a bien guidés durant notre séjour. La chambre dispose de toutes les commodités et prendre son café sur le rooftop est un vrai plaisir 😁 Nous recommandons chaleureusement!

Rien à signaler

L’extrême gentillesse du personnel ! On a eu des conseils de visite, on a pu faire un early-check in sans problème… L’hôte a été super accueillant 🙏 Et après avoir oublié un trousseau de clés dans la chambre (oups), ils sont venus nous l’emmener à la gare juste avant notre train ! Côté chambre, c’est spacieux et très bien placé. Vraiment un super séjour !

Gemütliches Zimmer in ruhiger Lage bei außergewöhnlich netten, hilfsbereiten Gastgebern.

Alles war gut.

Petite pépite très bien située à Fort Kochi, à quelques pas de nombreuses attractions et de la mer. Le personnel est aux petits soins, une famille très sympathique. La chambre est de taille modeste mais agréable, avec une literie confortable, de l’eau chaude et un bon débit, ainsi qu’une climatisation efficace. On s’y sent vraiment bien. La terrasse sur le toit est commune à tous mais rarement occupée, et il est possible de laisser ses bagages après le check-out, voire même de prendre une douche. Merci pour cet accueil chaleureux !

Rien à redire. Tout était très bien. Au point que je suis revenu une seconde fois lors de mon retour à Kochi. Merci pour l'accueil !

Sehr schöne Dachterrasse. Kostenloser Wasserspender. Kleine Küche mit Kühlschrank.

Kleines Zimmer aber für ein paar Nächte ausreichend.

המקום מאוד נקי והבעלים נחמדים ושמחים לעזור .

I stayed at Aaron's Homestay for two nights and had a wonderful experience. It was clean, comfortable, and felt very cozy. The host (Johnson) was incredibly kind and hospitable, which made my stay even more enjoyable. Located in the heart of Fort Kochi, it's easy to explore the area. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the city!

If I could stay longer

청결. 에어컨. 뜨거운물. 위치(주 관광지 전부 도보 가능). 룸사이즈 다 완벽합니다. 호스트도 너무 친절하심. 도어락도 3개 있어서 매우 안전해요 (저는 여자 혼자 여행했습니다). 코친 오면 무조건 또 여기 예약할거에요. 인도에서 제일 만족했던 숙소고 가성비도 갑입니다. 무조건 여기 예약하세요 여러분 후회 안합니다

개미가 조금 있는데 이건 케랄라에서 어쩔 수 없는 부분임

The owner was so so nice and helpful. The location is great, close to everything and while the rooms are basic it has everything you need as well as a kitchen you can use. This place friendly and is great value for money

It was all good

Famille adorable, super accueil ! Johnson se rend toujours disponible pour nous aider et nous conseiller. Chambre confortable, rooftop tres mignon et vegetal! Super emplacement, pres de bons restaurants et à 5 min à pied du centre de Fort Kochi

Gentillease d'Aaron et sa famille ! Aaron a été super et m'a aidé pour organiser les transports , activités à faire sur place Localisation : tout accessible à pied Propreté chambre /lieu Encore merci , j'ai passé un excellent séjour

Johnson and his family were extremely kind and helpful. The room was spotless and well-equipped, with hot water, a recently renovated bathroom, access to a kitchen in the building, a lovely rooftop, filtered water, soap, towels, and toilet paper… The location was quiet yet close to everything. Everything was perfect — I highly recommend this homestay.

Nothing, everything was perfect !

Aaron’s Homestay in Cochin is a gem! The location is perfect—within walking distance to major attractions and right next to some excellent Ayurveda clinics. The owners are warm and welcoming, making you feel right at home. The rooms are spotless, spacious, and very comfortable, all at a very affordable price.

Nothing.

Lovely cosy room,great location and wonderful family. I had everything I need and having a kitchen downstairs was a great bonus.

Communal Kitchen and water purifier for guests - very friendly

Great location, really spacious and clean room. Friendly family feel from the start to end. Johnson was so helpful with booking me a spot at the local theatre and even a really early morning airport pickup home. Nothing was too much. I loved the roof terrace space too and it was great to access to filtered water.

Nothing

A budget room for one night, fair value for money and the owner seemed a very nice, helpful man.

Too far from the main tourist area on the river, for me anyway, but then again I am over seventy. Small room, sparsely furnished. Might be a little depressing if staying more than one or two nights.

Comfortable rooms with new bathrooms, mosquito nets on the doors and AC, and extremely clean at such an unbeatable price! If that wasn’t enough, Johnson went out of his way to make sure I was settled and was always happy to help. I really enjoyed my stay here. This may have been the best place I stayed in after one month in India!

Everything was perfect!

Johnson was extremely helpful in every way, including arranging tours and laundry. It was convenient for our activities. We had a kitchen for self catering.

We only stayed for one evening but Johnson instantly made us feel welcome. Hot shower with great water pressure, great A/C and coffee facilities for the morning. Johnson kindly let us keep our many bags in his house and return for showers as our bus didn’t leave until midnight the next day. Very pleasant experience would definitely recommend.

Great and easy communication, I had a super early flight to Kochi and was able to arrive early to the homestay and rest in the communal space before the room was ready. Also the room was really clean and there was a kitchen area.

This place really was beyond my expectations. The attention to details is exceptional: Mosquito nets that actually block mosquitos, a mattress that's actually comfortable to sleep on, purified water in the shared fully loaded kitchen, a/c, fan, hot water in shower, quiet (!) and a wonderful family - all super friendly and helpful. I really appreciate my stay there. Thank you.

Johnson is an amazing host! Very friendly and kind. You can book a kathakali show with him, we recommend. The room was spacious and clean. The location is very good, close to all spots by feet. The rooftop is very pleasant!

Nothing

Lovely clean and comfortable home stay with a lovely roof terrace. Johnson and his family were very welcoming and helpful.

Johnson was so kind and helpful to us and the location was quiet ( as long as you don't mind the occasional call to prayer) but very close to all the sights. Room was spacious and comfortable, bathroom well equipped and clean.

Not a complaint, a suggestion- as we were on 3rd floor a kettle in the room might have been nice instead of trekking up and down to the kitchenette, but that is a very minor issue really- overall great!

Comfy, safe and friendly stay. The roof terrace is absolutely gorgeous. Because the property is off the main road it is pretty quiet but still very close to all Fort Kochi delights. Johnson was great and sorted us out tickets for the backwaters and the traditional Kerelan dance. Good AC as well.

Unfortunately you cannot get breakfast as part of the homestay. It would have been nice to maybe have some tea or water on arrival but I understand it's not that kind of homestay.

Friendly guest house owner, pleasant room, nice rooftop terrace. Everything was easy

It is very near to every tourist spots.

Everything was excellent! The location is perfect, it’s close to all the tourist areas but at the same time it’s not on the busy street which makes it very quiet and peaceful.

Everything we needed for our stay in Fort Kochi. Location fab, close to everything. Staff very friendly. Beautiful little terrace. Hot shower!

Nothing, it was great

Clean, cool and comfortable room. Mosquito screens, air con and a fan. Good shower with plenty of hot water. Shops very close by, a gentle stroll to the beach and great restaurants. Better than we anticipated. Very friendly reception from Cletus, who happily answered our questions and made useful suggestions for eating out, shopping and navigating Fort Cochi. As with all our booking.com accommodation, we paid cash at the property (card details given when booking are just in case of a no show). I happily recommend staying here. Fantastic Value for money.

Everything was better than anticipated

Johnson was very nice and helpfull with really everything! There was hot water and good water flow The bed is big, there were clean towels, clean water available.

Great location in Fort Cochin & really nice and welcoming family! Fully recommend this place

Great location, a 5min walk to our favourite cafe Lila and St Francis Church/Vasco Da Gama Square. Johnson the host was really helpful with suggestions in the area. Clean room, good AC and kitchen area that you can use including a water filter machine

Everything is fine. Must stay here if you want to explore the town. As the hotel is in Fort Kochi, most of the places are at a walking distance. The hosts are very friendly. They'll guide you. One thing I can say is that you'll meet them as hosts but leave this homestay as a family member.

Nice rooms with private clean bathrooms and shared kitchen inclusive a water purifier. Also a big roof garden with a nice view. Johnson was very helpful and friendly.

This was an amazing homestay in a great location in Fort Kochi run by Johnson and his lovely family. The house is well signposted, it’s lovely and green particularly the roof. The room was really comfortable with working air conditioning and fan. There’s a kitchenette to use which was ideal for coffee in the morning, water filter available too. WiFi worked great. Johnson was easily contactable and a very genuine host. He helped organise Kathakali tickets for us (recommend going to a show) and allowed us to shower before our flight after checkout which was much appreciated. Excellent value for money. Highly recommend to all!

The hosts were very nice, Johnson helped us with different things and was always kind. The rooms had mosquito nets, and there is a kitchen with filtered water, a kettle, etc. The room was very clean and there was a balcony. The location is fantastic! Walking distance to everything in Fort Kochi.

Just a suggestion - the sheets are flannel and that's quite warm. It's a little noisy, especially early in the morning.

Great location in Fort Kochi, walking distance from shops and restaurants. Johnson & his family are fantastic, so warm and welcoming and happy to help with anything. The property is beautiful, rooms are big and clean with a comfortable bed and aircon. We absolutely loved the lush green roof terrace, so peaceful!

Nothing - everything was perfect

Clean, warm, has everything you need, Johnson takes care of everything - from money exchange to tickets to shows, good english and lovely family!

There were only hot water in the shower which sounds funny but at noon when it’s hot you want cold water also

I only stayed for a night before a flight but it was perfect for my needs - comfortable and clean and mosquito proof, and Johnson the owner was really helpful.

Nothing

Excellent host. Property is inside the lane but location is good. Very clean homestay with kind host.

People with more luggage may find it difficult to reach the property.

Was convenient
