I stayed for 2 nights. I hadn't booked ahead and was roaming around looking for somewhere- I stumbled across this place, and Julie greeted me at the door. She's so lovely, so welcoming- I felt at home straight away. Luckily there was one room left. There was air conditioning but I went without to save a few rupees, and with... More

My original plan was to stay 2 nights in Fort Kochi, but I ended up staying 5 nights. I found the XK Homestay by pure chance, after roaming the streets for two hours and getting constantly dissapointed from the rediculous corelation between prices and quality. All this came to an end when I stumbled upon the XL Homestay, which seemed... More

Stayed here for 2 nights in March 2011. Xl homestay was in a nice quiet area in close proximity to the chinese fishing nets. Our room was spacious, clean and well presented, a nice place to end our travels. Breakfast was included but at the time we were there, there was a problem and we were sent to a place... More

We had the AC double on the first floor. It's a great sized room and spotlessly clean. The place is in a good location, directly across the road from the only bar in town which is open beyond 10ish. There is a good strip of street restaurants close to the harbour around a 5min walk away. Recommended

We stayed only 2 nights here but we wish we could have stayed more ! Our room was spotless and comfy although a bit small, and our host Judie is one of the sweetest persons we met in India. The location is just perfect as it's 1 minute away form the chinese fishnets, Princess street and the Fort Kochi bus... More

we were a group of 10 staying there and the owner made us feel very welcome and safe. Rooms are tidy and the one we stayed in was spacious with a nice little balcony. If you feel like having a drink after 10 pm you can chill out on their roof top which even has a little kitchen with a... More
