The host, Ashok, was very helpful and guided us throughout our trip. He also arranged a vehicle for us to tour around. The place itself was very clean. The beds were comfortable, the bathroom had soaps etc.. and there was a balcony which we enjoyed to have our morning tea. There is also a kitchen where we could cook few things. The location is also perfect to visit the temple. Overall, it was comfortable and safe in this homestay. Highly recommend!

I had a truly beautiful experience staying at Coco Homestays. Subin and his wife were incredibly helpful, friendly, and easy to talk to — they made me feel at home from the moment I arrived. Subin kindly shared with me some sacred local places to visit, which was very meaningful for me, as the purpose of my journey in India is to pay my respect to Hindu gods and devas. The location of the homestay is perfect — peaceful and very close to important temples and spiritual sites. They also recommended delicious traditional local food, which I thoroughly enjoyed! The room itself was clean, comfortable, and just what I needed to rest and recharge after temple visits. I’m grateful for their warmth and hospitality — it truly added something special to my spiritual journey in India. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a soulful and comfortable place to stay

"My recent stay at Tranquil Home in Trivandrum was truly delightful, especially given its proximity to the magnificent Padmanabhaswamy Temple. What made this stay exceptional was the owner's genuine care and positive attitude. He went above and beyond to accommodate us, making us feel incredibly welcome and comfortable. The warm hospitality added a special touch to our visit, and I highly recommend Tranquil Home to anyone seeking a peaceful and caring place to stay near the temple. A wonderful experience!"

Nice place to stay! Highly recommended — clean, peaceful, and with a good ambience. Relaxing and quiet. Just two points to note: 1- We were told breakfast was included at a fixed price, but later we were asked to pay extra for tea/coffee separately. I’ve travelled across the world and stayed in many homestays and hotels, but I’ve never had to pay separately for tea/coffee when breakfast was already charged. 2- It’s better to have your own personal vehicle if you’re staying at this place. The location is a bit isolated. Apart from this, everything else was fantastic!

The location is simply unbeatable—right on the beach, perched on a hill with breathtaking sea views. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves was pure magic. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready to assist without being intrusive. They even carried my luggage up the stairs by hand! Their hospitality made my stay even more special. Right next door is Lobster, the best restaurant around, serving delicious food at very affordable prices. There’s also a peaceful beach nearby, perfect for a quiet and relaxing escape. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Kovalam!
