This is the best Homestay we stayed in Kerala. The family is very welcoming and they are all very keen in helping you out. We had nice conversations with them in the evenings. It really felt like home. The room was very clean and big enough for 2 ppl. You can find some restaurants at walking distances. Also the temple is at about 20 min walking.

I had a truly beautiful experience staying at Coco Homestays. Subin and his wife were incredibly helpful, friendly, and easy to talk to — they made me feel at home from the moment I arrived. Subin kindly shared with me some sacred local places to visit, which was very meaningful for me, as the purpose of my journey in India is to pay my respect to Hindu gods and devas. The location of the homestay is perfect — peaceful and very close to important temples and spiritual sites. They also recommended delicious traditional local food, which I thoroughly enjoyed! The room itself was clean, comfortable, and just what I needed to rest and recharge after temple visits. I’m grateful for their warmth and hospitality — it truly added something special to my spiritual journey in India. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a soulful and comfortable place to stay

"My recent stay at Tranquil Home in Trivandrum was truly delightful, especially given its proximity to the magnificent Padmanabhaswamy Temple. What made this stay exceptional was the owner's genuine care and positive attitude. He went above and beyond to accommodate us, making us feel incredibly welcome and comfortable. The warm hospitality added a special touch to our visit, and I highly recommend Tranquil Home to anyone seeking a peaceful and caring place to stay near the temple. A wonderful experience!"

I could not have asked a better place to stay on my last night in India (for now). The host and his family are beautiful people. Very kind ! The room is beautiful clean and comfortable. The house has a lovely garden and is very quiet and peaceful. Aum heaven describes it well. I felt at home. It was a short ride from the central station and also very close to the airport. The wifi was excellent and I did a little work there on my laptop. Thankyou so much for a beautiful stay !
