    The place is beautiful. But dont fall for the beauty. this is One of the worst places to stay for a family. You wont get proper veg food nearby. The place is not really easy to find. We asked the owner to let us stay for extra 2-3hours, but he said we'll have to leave before 12.. then he asked if anything is open he can get us a room for some hours if we pay the whole day's price. Then he didn't even say anything about it. We had to wait in airport for 5 hours. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS FOR A FAMILY. Please stay away from this homestay.

    The house owner is rude and can be a total jerk sometimes. Too stingy about electricity and too strict. The rooms are however clean and comfortable. There are a lot of mosquitoes and hence windows cannot be opened. No other source of ventilation. The place is very inaccessible. The road to the house is far too narrow and no car/auto can take reverse or U-turn. Highly uncomfortable. The owner suggests to take a shortcut through the backside of the house but that path is over a ditch and is unhygienic and dangerous.

    1. Location is not navigable by a car/ taxi. 2. Clean & comfortable room. 3. Nearby mall, restaurants at 2-5 min walking distance. Good for a night stay, but avoid if you have too much luggage, because you won't find auto/taxi nearby( or else if you can drag your luggage all the way then no problem).

    Very difficult to get transportation especially auto or taxi. No space for vehicle parking. Useless place to stay and rent also not nominal. Not a proper place to stay for families. Only suitable for those who have two wheeler. Stay away from such a homestay especially families.you will have a horrible experience if you have aged People along with you.

    Charged for 3. But didn't provide a mattress for 3rd person. The road is really narrow. You can't get in your car if any other vehicles are parked. The staff is not friendly as well. WON'T RECOMMEND!!

    Clean room. It is a home stay, need to go through very lengthy narrow lane. Room is on the 2nd floor. No lift facility is available. Very tight car parking.

    The place was really nice. Rooms were neat and tidy, bathrooms clean. Rooms had there own balcony. The owner is a really nice man, helped me through many things. Only con of the property was that it was a bit deep inside the town otherwise the location was very nice. Overall i had a great experience.

    For two backpackers, this place was absolutely perfect. The 1 star reviews seem totally unreasonable. People will complain about anything! - Very clean - Very convenient location (15 minute walking distance from the Airport!!) and close to the mall for food options - Good price We just wanted to stay in the city to check out the temple / stay one night before our flight. The owner was helpful and graciously stayed up until midnight to assist us with our evening departure. I can see why this place wouldnt be ideal for those where staircases are challenging or parking is a requirement, but otherwise it was a great stay! Would stay here again if we come back to Trivandrum without question. The location is just too convenient. πŸ”₯

    Nice and clean place. Near to Mall of Travancore, walking distance if you take a narrow back alley. WiFi is weak. Having only a staircase leading to the rooms will have to be considered by those travelling heavy. Staircase gate was locked by 2230 hrs and you couldn't leave. Puthenchirayil Homestay is also known as Sunny Homestay.

    We booked one night here because it’s only a few minutes drive from the airport. We paid 150rp with an auto rickshaw but I now think we vastly overpaid - do haggle politely. Varis, the owner, is really helpful! We were late arriving, at 23:30, and had to wake Varis up, but he was polite about it. He also helped us with getting our SIM cards the next day - I recommend going to an Airtel store, but do note that it took us two hours to get two SIM cards. The room is fine - it’s bloody hot, but the fan just about did the job. The shower is cold, but very refreshing! For a convenient place to lay your head, this place does the job well!

    Owner is Such a greedy fellow. Hopeless. Though we had booked one month before the journey and also had called this guy and informed about our booking, this guy called a day before and said booking is not available. Because he had given the booked rooms to some other guys for more money.

    We had a short and quiet stay here. The room was clean and tidy. We had to climb up 2 floors to reach the room as they had no elevator. The location was not the easiest to find, but otherwise everything was good. The owner was also very nice and helped us with our taxi.
