Large, comfortable and immaculately clean rooms and extremely helpful and friendly staff made our stay in Fort Cochin thoroughly enjoyable. Although there are no "modern" services, such as Internet connection or mini-fridges in the rooms, David, the owner, goes to every length to ensure guests are "delighted" to be in his home and his wife makes the most incredible breakfasts... more

Nice room, Friendly hosts, good location. What more do you want? I guess I'd like them to start their cookery course again. It would have been better than the one we did do ( which was recommended in the Lonely Planet ) Top Tip was to eat at Dal Roti, we didn't find anywhere better in our stay here. more

We stayed one night with family and were very well received. Clean, comfortable and with nice sitting areas. The owners seemed a bit busy and we missed breakfast but enjoyed the stay nonetheless. more

My boyfriend and I stayed at Delight during a three week tour of South India and it was definitely the best nights sleep we had during our entire trip. Delight is a beautiful place to stay, which is peaceful and wonderfully well kept. David was a fantastic host and always seemed to appear just when we needed him - he's... more

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Clean room and spacious enough to have our 2 children sleeping in extra beds, which made the price very reasonable. Quiet location in Fort Cochi opposite the former parade ground where local boys now play cricket and football. Very pretty small front garden. Owner, David, was very helpful. more

It's not the cheapest in the book, but boy, we recommend it for welcome, forward travel ideas, lovely comfortable and clean rooms, and maybe the safest driver in South India (Anthony)! As everyone has said, David and his charming wife are great hosts. Tips - do the cookey course with Marie, the Kathakali dance is well worth going to see,... more

Actually, I plagiarized the title of this review from David, the owner/manager of this lovely homestay in Fort Kochi. After we got home to Pennsylvania, USA, David sent us an e-mail inviting us to "surprise" him and please "drop in our new home in India"! Honestly, that's how we felt when we left. I wondered if we would have the... more

If you are flying into Cochin, Kerala, don't miss the Delight Home Stay. Kim and I found it worth the drive out to this pleasant village where you can shop and do all the touristy things without the hassle. The owners, David and Flowery and their staff deliver excellent service without losing the homey touch. David is a "hands on"... more

We found this homestay after reading reviews on trip advisor. I was told that we had the 2nd best room with ac at 2000 rupees. When we got there it seemed that there may have been other rooms just as nice but maybe cheaper. The room was large and clean and had a wonderfully soft bed which is hard to... more
