Aroma Homestay

Kochi

This is our second stay with Elizabeth and Joseph, having stayed in their home four years ago in March 2015! Thank goodness nothing has changed. We returned to an extremely clean accommodation which included a simple, delicious and different Indian breakfast each morning. Most importantly, Elizabeth and Joseph are just as we remembered them…a humble, devout, caring and kind couple who took care of us for our ten-night stay as if, we seniors, were their grandparents.  

The second floor of their home is set aside for their guests with its large sitting area and four separate ensuite bedrooms. The bedrooms have both air-con and ceiling fans. They also provide ample drinking water, Wi-Fi, and when one of had a stomach problem, a special tea was made without even asking. They also arranged a pick-up and delivery to and from the airport and although we didn’t take any tours, they can easily arrange this service as well. If you are looking for a comfortable, affordable, and authentic experience in Fort Kochi look no further. Aroma Homestay with Elizabeth and Joseph is the place for you.

A return visit to Aroma Homestay

When we travel, we value making friends with the local people. Joseph and Elizabeth, Aroma hosts, are exceptionally warm and friendly people. They truly treated us as though we were part of their family and they went out of their way to help us with any requests we had: destination help, purchasing performance tickets, helping with transport, etc. 

Four modern bedrooms, each with its own bath are on the second floor with a large common room between. Each room has its own key. There are fans and a/c in all the rooms. WiFi is sketchy here, but that’s not Aroma’s fault, that’s just how it is in much of India.

Joseph and Elizabeth will serve amazing breakfasts featuring local dishes.

Aroma is conveniently located near restaurants, historic churches, the Kathakali theatre (a must see!), and the waterfront. Plus, there is a motor-rickshaw stand right in front of Aroma so transportation is a breeze.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Aroma and the time we spent with Joseph and Elizabeth. We highly recommend Aroma Homestay.

You’re one of the family here!

My husband and I spent the 31st night in this wonderful homestay.  You will feel a lot of warmth from the time you enter the homestay cause of the very amicable hosts  Joseph and Elizabeth. Though it was a short stay, We enjoyed it a lot. The room and the bathroom was very clean . Joseph and Elizabeth provided us with all the local guidance needed . We had an amazing start to the year 2019 with  with a grand  and delicious breakfast spread prepared by Elizabeth. The host family is very welcoming and makes you feel at home every moment.I would highly recommend this place and would love to visit again :)

Amazing Short Stay

My husband and I had a wonderful stay with Elizabeth and Joseph. They were so welcoming, kind, and helpful during our 4 days in Kochi. Their home is very clean and  comfortable. It is a good location within walking distance to all of the sights in Fort Kochi. We really enjoyed breakfast and getting to talk with both Elizabeth and Joseph who are both easy and pleasant to talk to. We especially liked hearing their thoughts on aspects of the culture and history of Kerala and how it compares to the rest of India. For a few days, we felt we really got to be part of a family which made our experience so unique and lovely.

Wonderful Homestay

I've been here for two nights, the first two days of my tour of India, very friendly guests, rooms very clean, good breakfast, central location, rooms with air conditioning and ventilators, they speak excellent English, always happy to come back.

Very pleasant stay

We spent 10 nights and 10 days at Elizabeth & Joseph 's and we felt very much in the family. Every morning, they prepare a different keralais breakfast and bring you to appreciate this food so different from our habits.
The rooms and bathrooms are clean and functional. Sheets and towels are changed every 3 days. These charming hosts are good advice and very open to all discussions.
The host family is close to many places to frequent Fort Kochi. 
Thanks again Elizabeth & Joseph for your kindness .

Home sweet home !

Elizabeth and Joseph were lovely and warm guests, always ready to serve and please us. Breakfast times were fantastic: discussions around the table with our guests and other tourists. Elizabeth is a great cook; every morning there was a different meal with fruits and various dishes: what Kerala specialties... They both introduced us to the customs of life in Kerala and guided us for visits. The room was quiet and perfectly maintained. A stay we will never forget!

What an outstanding visit to Elizabeth and Joseph!

It's a great stay at this homestay in a nice neighborhood. Everything is done to make you feel at home. Elizabeth and Joseph are always on the lookout, always ready for a discussion or advice. Every day they offer different breakfasts that allowed us to discover traditional Kerala dishes.

The best homestay in India

We felt very welcome from the beginning. Small but fine, very clean hostels, nicely furnished, quiet location, super Kerala - breakfast, freshly cooked every morning by the hostess, very delicious. Very nice host couple, who speak excellent English. Our favorite place after a busy day was the covered terrace. When we come back to the kitchen, we come back here again!!

Great hosts, great location, highly recommended.

Elizabeth and Joseph are very friendly and helpful, the rooms are very clean, even the bathrooms. The shower works and provides warm water, which we didn't always have in more expensive accommodations until now. You can walk from here to many of Kochi's sights and also good restaurants. And considering the very moderate prices, we have nothing left to spare but five points.
