This was an exquisite place to stay in Trivandrum and is easily the best place I have had the fortune of staying in during my recent travels in Sri Lanka and India. I feel so blessed to have been able to experience the kindness and warmth of the hosts Shyla and Anil Kumar and had have really enjoyed getting to know them and experiencing their generous hospitality. The property is incredibly well designed and immaculate in its presentation. Teak woods adorns this imposing home with very high ceilings and a real sense of architectural flair. I really found how it was laid out fascinating and would be delighted if I ever got to own something myself. The room was excellent and was generous in size, although even if it smaller it wouldn't have mattered as there is so much living space inside this stately home. The bed was perfect and I got a great night's sleep as the house is located in a quiet location away from traffic. The bathroom was was very well maintained and like my room and the rest of the house was kept in immaculate condition. There are food options about 1km away, however I was so impressed with the food that was given to me at breakfast, I was delighted to take up Shyla and Anil's offer to provide dinner for me. The food was incredible. What a fabulous experience! Shyla and Anil are excellent cooks and as other gusets have commented, a lot of the fruit and vegetables they use (papaya, chillis, coconuts) come from their garden. What they charged was not nearly as much as they should have. The food was marvellous :) Most of all what I liked was the interaction I had with Anil and Shyla. I felt very much at home but also gained a sense of what it was like to live with a Indian family in Kerala. While they were making dinner I watched some local TV programs (talk shows, soapies, gameshows and news) some of which were apparently made in Kerala and then when dinner was served joined Shyla and Anil for an enjoyable meal and great conversation!

The property is clean, comfortable and relaxing. They even provide a living area with a sofa, table and plates etc for a nice place to have dinner. I have been unwell and the hosts went out of their way to get me medicine and even offered to call the doctors for me! Such a wonderful couple who have showed so much kindness and care towards us during our stay. Would highly recommend this place to anyone in the area it is great value for money and the hosts make it even better with their kindness and hospitality!

Penny, the volunteer at the homestay was really helpful. She made sure the place was spotless, guests had no problems and the vibe was friendly. I came here for a day and ended up staying a week just because the vibe felt homely.

I had a lovely welcome when I arrived. The room and bathroom were perfectly clean and the wifi was great. The kitchen, living and dining room were shared with just one other room so it felt more like having a private apartment than staying in someones home.

"My recent stay at Tranquil Home in Trivandrum was truly delightful, especially given its proximity to the magnificent Padmanabhaswamy Temple. What made this stay exceptional was the owner's genuine care and positive attitude. He went above and beyond to accommodate us, making us feel incredibly welcome and comfortable. The warm hospitality added a special touch to our visit, and I highly recommend Tranquil Home to anyone seeking a peaceful and caring place to stay near the temple. A wonderful experience!"

Had a very pleasant stay at Surabhi Villa near Rajadhani Institute of Engineering Technology, Nagaroor. The location was easy to find from Kallambalam, and the owner, Mr. Salim, was extremely friendly and helpful—he even arranged travel to my exam center on arrival. The villa was clean, calm, spacious, and completely free from mosquitoes, which was a big plus. I had a peaceful night’s sleep before my exam. Highly recommended for families and business travelers alike—overall, a very comfortable stay!
