Bed and breakfast holiday rentals in Mararikulam

There are 3 rooms situated on the 1st floor, I had the chance to get the one with a big balcony facing the main street. It was extremely clean, nice and bright and its windows-doors had very useful mosquito screens. There was a comfortable double bed, a ceiling fan and aircon (really needed during my stay), a small desk and a little suspended ‘cupboard’ for the clothes and a modern beautiful private bathroom. There’s a fridge on the 1st floor that guests can use and of course, an available equipped kitchen. Very well located, the whole apartment is well thought (a recent construction), you notice that Colbridge and his wife Shalini care about their home stay business; they are a good team, pretty well organized working together. Colbridge, the brain of the hospitality services, sent me through whatsapp dozens of information related to history, places to visit and food. He is very knowledgeable (not only about Kochi) and it was good to exchange with him. Besides, he can help you to organize trips, call a tuk tuk and find solutions for your queries. Shalini is the heart of the place… she is welcoming, warm, intelligent and sweet, with a great sense of humour. A gifted cook, she prepares wonder ful breakfasts (Indian, European, American…), tailored to requests. I admired how she cared about guest’s well-being even when she was very busy. Shalini likes to exchange with her hosts and she gave me an unique opportunity to learn more about the culture. She is a very good company too, I will not forget all our laughters and hope to stay with them again. I fully recommend this place for your stay.

Joseph and his wife Nimy were so warm, friendly, helpful and attentive. They have a wonderful building that is quiet ( by urban India standards), yet 2 blocks from the center of Fort Cochin. There are about 10 rooms catering to a diverse international group of guests, Indians included. During our stay the people were fascinating - women in business, India’s top stand up comedian, a retired United Nations lawyer, a trainer teaching local women how to start their own small businesses, and a retired international development professional on a world jaunt. The morning breakfast was the best I’ve eaten at an Airbnb- wonderful fruit, fresh blended fruit juice, yogurt, cereal, a savory hot Indian dish, native blue pea tea, and more, all served on a covered rooftop. It is also close to the Biennale main venues. They were very helpful in arranging an interesting canoe trip in the backwaters, alerted us to a Puja, and helped with arranging transportation as needed. Fair price, good people.

Varun’ place was a well-run small hotel right on the shore of the backwaters in Kerala. There was a pool, many different areas to relax with a book. Canoes were available to paddle down stream. Varun was very helpful in arranging transportation for us, recommending activities and pointing us in the direction of a special art biennale which happened to be taking place in Kochi while we were there. The restaurant had a nice blend of Indian, continental with vegetarian options. We are planning on staying here on our next trip and highly recommend it. Gregory and Michèle

It’s a simple stay with basic amenities which is worth the price, Sheeba is very responsive, friendly and upto the point. She also provided us Breakfast without any extra price which is very nice of her and also agreed to a small personal favour. I’d recommend this property to anyone who’s up for a budget friendly and looking for something which is near to prominent places as well!

It’s a humble and cozy stay and worth the nominal price, Nestor was accommodating and non-interfering and always available. The place has a vibe.

Mary Grace and JL were fantastic hosts. We stayed for 3 days and I would fully recommend this place. She made us great breakfast, suggested a few wonderful eating places, arranged taxis and even helped us get our clothes washed. Her husband fixed my and my mother's glasses free of charge. It was a very easy and relaxed atmosphere and we made other friends there as well. Thanks Mary Grace and JL for your hospitality.

Anshad and his wife were incredibly sweet and welcoming. Their hospitality was top-notch, serving the best homely food. They even allowed our photographers to capture our wedding pictures. Total value for money – a must-visit if you're near Alleppey! :)

My father and I had such a lovely stay here! Beautifully clean rooms, a wonderful welcome and a delicious breakfast. Also the best night’s sleep we’ve had in India yet. Thoroughly ecommended!

the beach is within 10 minutes swimming in swimwear (women) possible the family is very welcoming and available at any time to inform and accompany. Jimmy gave me my itinerary and made himself available to answer my questions before I arrived in less than 10 minutes Emily moved to Alleppey Station to show the way to the rickshow. Upon arrival, the whole family welcomed me warmly with a smile Rita makes good food from Kerala and adapts to my needs... to be enjoyed absolutely.!! The places are clean and very spacious what a pleasure to have spent these few days at this guesthouse. i would come back without hesitation

Very nice and clean place, rooms and building in general super clean, staff help us on time every time, breakfast super good and big portions, fresh fruit everyday and walking distance for many attractions , including the beach and free market, nice shops around and good restaurants too. Very well located.

We had a lovely time here! The location is perfect, walking distance to Fort Kochi and good food in the neighborhood too. There also is a rooftop where you can sit. Would recommend this airbnb!

It's a nice new house. Very neat and clean. Host stays in the ground floor and all the three rooms are on the first floor. There is spacious living room and balcony in the front and back, both with scenic views. Vijeesh is a good host who is always available on call and very helpful. He also offers tasty home made food at an additional but nominal charge. This place is highly recommendable and we will love to come back again in the future.
