Le meilleur homestay que nous ayons fait en Inde !
Pros:

Homestay au top, où tous les équipements sont neufs et qualitatifs. La chambre était très confortable et d'un propreté irréprochable. Le petit déj kéralais franchement très bon. Un grand merci à Amalu, qui aide volontiers pour l'organisation du séjour.

Loved it and would recommend.
Pros:

Everything! Amalju and her parents were lovely and the home cooked food was the best we had during two months of travel in India. Great location. Lovely beach shacks nearby.

Cons:

We had a very small bedroom, as the bigger rooms were not available. Adequate for a night or so.

Quiet private retreat with friendy and helpful host
Pros:

This is a nice place with a clean room, very friendly and supportive host, good walking distance to beach and a nice veranda in front of the room to relax. Unfortunately I missed to decide for the dinner-I really regret.
the 2 night before I had booked annother homestay, which in direct comparision was a mistake. The quiet privacy and cleanliness in this place was far better. I recommend to stay here.

A genuine “homestay” feel with a lovely family
Pros:

A very friendly homestay with clean rooms, great home cooked food and just a short walk to the beach.
The rooms have a lovely balcony/outside space where you can sit and eat. I found the food to be as good as, if not better than most of the local restaurants.
I spent several weeks here and felt really looked after by Amalu and her family.
They are very accommodating and create a lovely atmosphere.

Was wonderful
Pros:

Lovely room with air conditioning and fan, own bathroom and veranda (with fan too). Delicious breakfast included. Also ate dinner at the property on 2 nights, also delicious. Very close to beach. Quiet but with good facilities close by.

Hospitality amazing
Pros:

My stay at Salt was like visiting my favorite relatives. very comfortable room with everything I needed, amazing food, lovingly cooked by mom. As a result, I ate all my dinners there. Amalu, the daughter, was super available, solid with English , and always willing to help. One minute walk to the beach, which is lovely and endless. I’d say in the top two home stays after a month and a half of traveling Kerala.

Cons:

The crows will eat your lunch😂

Pros:

Clean and very peaceful, only two minutes walk from the best part of Marari beach area. Over all these positive sides we had also the pleasure to meet Amalu and her family as hosts: so attentive and prompt to any guest need. We cannot recommend a better place to stay in Marari!
