The Oval House, Kochi - Approved by Kerala Tourism - Exclusively for Families

Nice property with super Cool Host

The Host waited for us as we had late check in. We were shown around and explained everything. The house was very clean.

I have nothing to comment

Please is clean and comfortable, easy access from Lulu mall and shopping areas , Close to restaurants to get food . Situated in safe neighbourhood and it was easy to get Taxis.

The owner took long to fill up forms and collect personal information.

Our host Mathew and his son Allen were on site when we arrived. They helped with the checkin, accommodated our extra guest/bed request, were super nice, and even helped us order dinner as Zomato can be difficult to set up for international credit cards. We had a very short but lovely stay on new year's eve. Home is a little far (by local standards) from all the shopping area but Uber and auto-rickshaws are eminently available.

Narrow street was hard to navigate for our bus so knowing that in advance may have helped. But it was a minor issue. The locals are very used to this and were super helpful. This is not a dislike, but if you book through Booking.com and don't prepay you would do well to have local currency to pay the bill. Or try to use Google Pay (not available to US travelers using iPhones). I used Remitly, which is fabulous.

Great property that is well maintained and with a chiq design, right in the middle of the city

The house was exactly what was advertised on booking.com. clean, well maintained, complete with great,friendly host. Matthews is friendly and very helpful. Definately will stay again.

Nice and helpful host.

It was in a prime location, making it ideal for families with easy access to the city.

I booked a stay for myself and my bachelor friends. Upon arrival, the staff initially refused us accommodation because we were bachelors, which I know is an illegal rule. After some discussion, they agreed to let us stay. Having just arrived after a 24-hour flight, it was very inconvenient when someone came to my room at 3:30 AM. I understand it was due to government regulations, but it was still awkward, especially with the staff member wearing an N95 mask, which made us feel like we were being treated as if we were diseased.
