Staying with at Liz’ home was a great experience. Liz does great cooking in her café and is always open for a chat. As she reads a lot, there is always something to talk about. I would definitely recommend this place if you like to meet people and stay next to the beach where fishermen bring their daily catch ashore. Thank you Liz for hosting me!
February 2017
Leider hatten wir überhaupt keine gute Erfahrung bei Liz gemacht. Wir haben via homestay für den Jahresbeginn 2017 den < orange room > für umgerechnet 20€ pro Nacht für 3 Tage gebucht und bestätigt bekommen. Ein paar Wochen später hat sich der Host per email gemeldet und eine Verdoppelung des Preises verlangt und damit unsere Homestay Buchungsbedingungen ignoriert.
Bei unserer Ankunft fanden wir das Zimmer muffelig, das Bett schmuddelig, das Badezimmer schäbig und dreckig vor. Das Dachterassen Restaurant war nicht vorhanden (dies scheint wohl in einem anderen Haus in der Stadt zu sein). Der Homestay ist auch keinesfalls in der „Othawadai Street" sondern einige (enge und dunkle) Gassen entfernt. Wir fühlten uns dort überhaupt nicht wohl und haben uns sofort ein anderes Zimmer gesucht, welches super schön, gross und wirklich sauber und dazu noch preiswert war.
Zuvor hatten wir auf Homestays online gekündigt und Liz angeboten 50 USD Entschädigung zu zahlen. Liz hat uns die Kündigung recht übel genommen und 100 US Dollar verlangt. Sie hat uns auf der Strasse beschimpft und Ihre Kollegen bei der Touristenpolizei angerufen. Wir fühlten uns genötigt ihr die 100 USD zu geben, obwohl wir laut Kündigungs-Bedinungen von Homestay in keinster Weise verpflichtet waren, irgendeine Art von Entschädigung zu zahlen.
Unser Aufenthalt in Mahabalipuram war damit ziemlich ruiniert und wir hatten dadurch wenig Freude an dem Ort.Host reply

Die Unterkunft - inmitten der Fishermans Colony - ist genial gelegen: Ganz nahe am Strand und mitten im Städtchen.
Liz ist eine sehr unkompliziert freundliche und geschäftstüchtige Gastgeberin.
Wäre die Bettwäsche (wegen der Hitze!) aus Naturfasern, und das Bad etwas sauberer, hätte die Unterkunft 5 Herzen von uns bekommen.
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?
Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) using a choice of payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal (not available in certain countries). 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?
Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
