We stayed at Bastian Homestay in April for 4 nights with Gini and her family. She was very prompt in her response to our email inquiries and set up airport pick-up with no issues. Initially we had booked a non-AC room, and when we found the heat and humidity in Kochi to be opressive, she was able to transfer us... More

My partner found the Bastion Homestay online a few months before we were due to fly to India to take part in the Rickshaw Run. She emailed Ginnie and we received a swift email confirmatory response. Further to this Ginnie arranged our collection from the airport (which was seamless) with our driver waiting for us and we were quickly winging... More

Great location, clean enough, pretty helpful. They seem a little tired, honestly. Like the Indian breakfast is two small dosas (v v small) plain. That's it. Or like one room has a tv, the other wasn't working; same w a/c, no yoga, despite signs that say otherwise, no dinner. At this price point it's really hard to be picky, especially... More

Basic, but comfortable (and, quiet), accommodation within a short walk to local sights, shops and restaurants. The hosts are very communicative and helpful in making bookings, as well as setting up transport and what-not. Fast internet too!

Bastian and Gini are extremely helpful and this Homestay is really excellent value for money. The rooms are very clean and pretty well equipped. The breakfast is very good with fruit, eggs and toast. She offered to cook us a vegetarian meal on our arrival but we decided to explore Cochin's restaurants. A very pleasant experience and thoroughly recommended as... More

When I first looked for a place to stay in Fort Cochin I wasn't sure what I was looking for, but after reading the reviews I decided on spending a week here. It absolutely lived up to my expectations. I was traveling alone, so the location was great considering I didn't have to walk very far to neither shops nor... More

I was in Kerala on a photographic holiday, travelling all over with a group of like minded people, staying at some very good four star hotels, and having three meals a day. When this excellent part of the holiday finished in Cochin, I decided to stay an extra week just to 'chill-out'. I wanted somewhere quiet and friendly. Somewhere I... More
