Lachus Home Stay

If you’re looking for more than just accommodation in Kerala, Lachus Home Stay is a very special place. It’s a truly authentic experience of real life in Kerala and the warmth of its people. Gireesh and his family are incredibly welcoming, caring and attentive. At the same time, they are flexible and genuinely do everything they can to make you feel comfortable and at home. Their generosity and kindness made this experience very special for me. As a solo female traveller, I felt completely safe and well taken care of. You may arrive as a guest, but you leave feeling like you have a family in Kerala. And that is something I will always carry with me. ❤️

Ciche, spokojne i czyste miejsce !!! Prawdziwe wytchnienie w podróży po Indiach. Bardzo miła i serdeczna rodzina. Możliwość zwiedzania okolicznych miejscowości i regionalnych atrakcji z przewodnikiem. Gorąco polecam. Dla nas było to jedne z najmilszych miejsc z podróży po Indiach.

Had a lovely 2 night stay with Gireesh and Chinchu at their homestay! We had the most incredible homecooked meals with produce sourced directly from the on-site farm and Gireesh showed us all around the area and the nearby city. Would recommend for anyone looking for authentic look at village life in Kerala!

We didn’t want to leave… it was such an incredible time with Gireesh and his beautiful family. Such a warm welcome and authentic connection. We felt that we became like family in such a short time. We went with Gireesh to many places and events, the temple’s celebration, to the pineapples market, the coconut oil factory, discovered and tasted for the first time « Jackfruit », walked together in the nature and talked and tasted everything we could from this gorgeous nature. He is very generous and kind. They grow everything and make everything in their little home - 100% organic. This was a pure local experience, feeling at home. We highly recommend this Homestay, a quality and authentic one.

I had an unforgettable experience staying in a small village near Kochi, India. The surroundings were absolutely beautiful—lush green nature, calm backwaters, and a peaceful atmosphere that felt far away from anything busy or stressful. The food was one of the highlights; everything was freshly grown and organic, often coming straight from the family’s own garden. You could really taste the difference. What made it even more special was the family hosting the stay. They were incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind, making me feel like part of their home rather than just a guest. It was a simple but deeply meaningful experience—quiet mornings, homemade meals, and nature all around. I highly recommend this kind of stay for anyone looking to slow down, connect with nature, and experience authentic local life near Kochi.
