This homestay is run by mother and daughter, really helpful and kind. Rooms are squeaky clean. Major USP of this homestay is its location, all the places are in a walkable distance. Value for money but could get expensive during Christmas time and long holidays, no breakfast included but there's a kitchen area if you wish to cook.

My husband and I stayed here for about two weeks and it was perfect! Minny was beyond gracious and helped me get settled into a comfortable and very clean room. She and her daughter gave us several suggestions about local events and good restaurants in the area and even picked up food for us from a local restaurant that was a little far away. The wifi worked well and each room has its own a/c. The house is a short walk from shopping and the waterfront. Poetrie is a gem in Fort Kochi.

Outstanding and exceptional! I'm a digital nomad and look for long-stay rooms where I can work in peace. Poetrie ticked all my boxes, so much I extended my initial 1 month stay to almost 7 weeks. Minnie is an excellent host and keeps Poetrie in perfect condition - spotlessly clean and everything working. There's a handy kitchen with fridge, kettle and hotplate, and a communal table with comfy chairs if you need a break from the desk in your room. The wifi is super fast and reliable. Poetrie is down a narrow lane, so no noise or fumes from passing vehicles. Another major bonus is that Poetrie has battery backup, so lights, fans and wifi keep on working during power cuts. Although very popular for short stays, I also highly recommend Poetrie for anyone looking to settle down for a while. A big thank you to Minnie and all the team at Poetrie!

I had a wonderful experience staying at this homestay. The room was large and comfortable, with air conditioning and fast internet. The hosts were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel at home right away. The location was also great, as it was just a short walk to all of the local attractions and situated in a quiet neighborhood. I even extended my stay from 6 to 8 nights because I was having such a great time. I highly recommend this homestay to anyone looking for a cozy and convenient stay in the area!

We were crossing Kochi and visited fort Kochi on our way and wanted to rest a while. Same day booking, and since it was for a few hours they reduced the rate. Very thoughtful of them. The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean, good wifi. It's worth it for the price. The only con was airconditioning cooking level was low.

Nice quiet place, neat and safe. The incharge is good and helpful. Only thing is that one should know the correct place for food, which the homestay people guide you. Very good value for the money. Good place for home loving people.

Mini Benny was such a great host. Really warm and welcoming. Her and her daughter were super helpful with lots of advice and tips on where to go. Room was perfectly clean and nice comfy big bed. Would highly recommend staying here.

Had a very good and peaceful stay at Poetrie. The place was very neat n clean. So, extended the stay for a couple of days more! It was a very homely experience as we could use the kitchen as well. The host was also nice and friendly.

A perfect stay in Kochi. Mini is a wonderful host - warm, welcoming and incredibly helpful. The rooms are really comfortable and clean. The location is great too, with everything you need within walking distance. Highly recommend this homestay!
