Tess Holistay

Fantastic, quaint and peaceful homestay. The location is down a narrow lane away from the noise of the main street. My room was clean and spacious and the bed was comfortable. Staff were very helpful and the cost is reasonable. It was nice to have a quiet, relaxing first night in Fort Kochi after I had just got off the plane. I would stay here again if ever in India again.

Great value for money, and extremely helpful, kind host. Only problem was that I found ants in my room on the third day and then again in the bathroom of my new room. Also cash only - so plan accordingly.

Very nice and clean place with a good location, near Princess Street and the sea front. The owners are very kind, helpful and thoughtful. You can ask informations about attractions to visit or about having an ayurveda massage, they will give you sound advices. Thank you very much, Elsa and Anaïs

Staying at the Tess Holistay home stay was fantastic! The rooms were comfy, spacious, and had all the essentials like AC and hot water. Mr. Johnson's hospitality was exceptional—he was incredibly helpful, guiding us to the best places and always available when needed. The location was perfect, allowing easy exploration of Fort Kochi's attractions. Highly recommend this place for a wonderful stay!

One of my greatest stays in india. Johnson and his family welcomed me heartily. They made me feel like I am part of their family. Rooms were great, big and clean, location was also perfect. You can walk to the restaurants and the beach. I was sad I had to leave but left with some new friends. Thank you Johnson and your wife and family. Hope to see you again soon

I recently had a delightful stay at a homestay in Fort Kochi hosted by Mr. Johnson. The rooms were impeccably clean and well-maintained. Mr. Johnson’s hospitality was exceptional, fostering engaging conversations about life experiences. I highly recommend this property to anyone seeking a room in Fort Kochi.

Clean room with AC. Johnson is a very friendly and helpful host who will take any complaint or suggestion seriously. Only drawback is the location, there is a mosque somewhere nearby and you may wake up from the allah-yodeling in the middle of the night, so the rooms are not specially silenced. But you probably can't expect that for such a budget price.

We had a great experience and memories in this stay. Price wise affordable. The upstair rooms were we stayed was very calm and quiet literally feels like home very comfortable,warm and welcoming especially safe for women. The towel,bedspreads, pillow cases and bathrooms were neat and clean therefore highly recommended.
