Hi me and three friends from jersey uk stayed here from 10th feb - 12th feb 2013 (i think these dates are right). The house is a lovely environment to stay in but the main reason you should stay here is Mr Babu Joseph and his wife. They went out of their way to help us and give us some... More

I am very overdue in writing this review and in looking for holiday destinations this year I've been reminded how much I have relied on other peoples recommendations. Myself and a friend stayed with Babu in both his surburban homestay and the backwater home last year. We were only in Kerala for 10 days and seeing the positive reviews thought... More

Babu's homestay is clean and... More

Babu arranged for us to be picked up from the airport after a grueling overnight flight from the Uk and we were greeted on arrival at the homesty with a cooling lemonade, the perfect way to start out stay with his family. The room was clean and comfortable and the food was some of the best we had in Kerala.... More

We stayed with Babu for 5 nights over New Year and would have loved to have stayed longer. Babu and his wife cooked delicious Keralan food for us both at breakfast and dinner and also provided one litre bottles of water, free of charge. Babu generously provided transport and only charged us a very modest fee to cover petrol. His... More

We staying with Babu and his family for 2 nights when we first arrived in Kerala. The whole family made us feel welcome but without being intrusive. As the home was alittle far from the centre Babu would pick us up and drop us off. Also is worth mentioning the food was delicious! Home cooked and very tasty.
