Bastian Homestay

Exceptional experience with these two wonderful people. The room was the cleanest i’ve had in India and the AC is super quiet so you can have a cool, quiet nights rest. The breakfast is flexible in hours and very generous. They offered so much help with visiting Kochi and the transport to the airport. Thank you!

We stayed at Bastian for 3 nights and had an amazing time. The family were so kind and helpful, always giving us any advice for places nearby etc. The room was clean and spacious, and very good for the price. The owner was so kind he went out of his way to drive in the pouring rain to buy me some yogurt for my stomach so I wouldn’t get wet. Definitely the best stay in India so far and I’d definitely recommend staying here!

Bastian and Gina made me very welcome, even coming out to the main road to meet me when the taxi driver from the Airport couldn't find the address. The HomeStay is located down a narrow alleyway off KC Jacob Road, so it is easier to arrive during daylight hours if you can. The location was only a 10 minute walk away from the sea and even closer to the Santa Cruz Cathedral Basilica which is a good landmark to use for returning from your local adventures if using a tuktuk. The WiFi was excellent and breakfast was good, but only available between 8 am and 10 am. Bastian helped me get a local sim card which was really useful and helped arrange backwater trips for guests putting people in contact with others wanting to do the same trip to keep the costs down. The room is basic but comfortable. If I return to Kochi, I will have no hesitation booking Bastian HomeStay again.

Highly recommended. Rooms are clean and comfortable with a good breakfast and at reasonable prices - money well spent. But the real draw is Bastian himself and his lovely wife. They are so friendly and helpful from arranging massage appointments to day trips, rail tickets and even sim cards - all made so much easier by these lovely people. A really good place to stay.

This is a wonderful homestay. The owners are very kind and helpful and helped with organising tours and ayurvedic treatments, the place is clean and quiet, the location is excellent and the breakfasts are amazing. Highly recommended!

I stayed at Bastian Homestay on September ‘23 The place was clean and lovely Highly recommended ! The owners even assisted me with a business address once I returned to the UK. They are definitely prepared to go that extra mile ! Looking forward to returning Thank you Bastian Homestay !
