Excellent kind hosts
December 2014
Vinod and Joysma, with their sons Pierce and Viva were a treat by themselves! We wanted to live with an affectionate, warm middle class Malyalee family, and all our epectations were met and exceeded. Occasionally, one's westernised mindset had different epectations and standards. If you are looking for a place with impecable English, a strong water-pressure in your taps, a sanitised, pest-extinct, bland life in tastefull pastel shaded walls decorated with ethnic Indian handicrafts, manicured lawns and pretty gardens...look elsewhere. Vinod and family are the real thing...from the home-grown passion-fruit juice with home-made banana chips on arrival to the smiles and glow on their faces every time they see you, to little tips about going around, to Joysma's awesome cooking...we were absolutely blown away. Thank you, guys.
How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.
When do I pay?

You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.
When can I share my contact details?
