our stay was amazing. Location is brilliant - right by the water and very calm and peaceful - but just outside the gate is access to Cochin.  Love the tuk tuk rides in and out.  jos was brilliant at helping us do what we wanted to do - booking tuk tuks, activities, advice re travel etc.  the food served every breakfast and in the evening when we ate at Gramam was exceptional.  All in all a brilliant stay.

gramam homestay

One of those places where pictures can never do justice to the actual beauty and serenity of the place. Jos was a great host. Starting from the point when we sent the booking request to our check out day. 

A tastefully designed traditional Kerala style cottage overlooking backwaters. As we checked-in, every piece of furniture, every small element, books, kitchen space, washroom was perfect and felt great. Suitable for family , couples, group of friends who are looking for an authentic experience .. Gramam homestay gives you that. A 50yr old coconut farm turned into homestay which is so tastefully designed just adds to the charm. The beauty of this place is indescribable. And if you do choose to stay - do not miss a lunch/dinner cooked by Jos’s wife. It was one of the best we have had in our trip. It would put any high end restaurant to shame. 

Highlight was the humble hosting, the flavourful and sumptuous food they cooked, open air bath space and big and spacious private cottage. We felt extremely welcomed,  comfortable, safe and respected. Overall this home space of Jos became our highlight of Kerala trip. 

There are plenty of homestay option in Kochi but if you are travelling and looking for a memorable experience- this is it !! 

We also took the boat ride arranged by Jos in the backwaters. It was our first of its kind and hence holds a special place. Gramam homestay made our wedding anniversary beautiful. 

We only had one day with us ... but we hope to return back someday.

Absolute Heavenly Stay

It was my second visit to Gramam in November last year.  As before it was a peaceful, idyllic stay with Jos and his family.  Excellent, authentic Indian home cooking, beautiful situation and lovely people. What more could you ask?

Paradise

We had a wonderful relaxing stay at Gramam Homestay and a week of visiting different areas and sights around Kerala, all arranged by Jos before our arrival.  His communication and recommendations of places to visit was excellent and every detail arranged to perfection.

Jos and his family were welcoming hosts and ensured we were well fed and catered for during our stay.  The food was delicious and Gramam Homestay a relaxing location, perfect as an initial base for our travels.

Thank you Jos for your efforts and looking after my family so well.  I would highly recommend contacting Jos for anyone considering a trip to Kerala.

Wonderful host and perfect holiday

Jos and his family are genuinely lovely people. They welcomed me at some odd early hour in the morning and served a delicious varied breakfast each day. The room was nice, clean and comfortable and the grounds are fantastic being right on the river with views of Kumbalangi. I'ii have no hesitation in going back. Thanks Jos! 

Warm and welcoming

What a wonderful holiday.

Everything was completely stress free. We flew into Kochi, and the airport pickup arranged by Jos was ready and waiting. It's just a 30 minute drive to the tranquil setting of Gramam Homestay, with beautiful views looking out over the backwaters. 

We stayed two nights in the Backwaters Cottage, a lovely large room with outdoor shower and kitchenette. Jos arranged visits to a fish auction, a Kathakali evening and a tour of the sights in nearby Cochin.

We then left on our grand adventure on a 10 day tour of Kerala, everything arranged by Jos. At the Homestays we met other people who had made their own arrangements who all said how stressful it was to buy the train tickets and find good drivers etc. I was so thankful that we were just given the tickets and all our drivers were reliable, safe and thoughtful.

We stayed in some very beautiful places, again all aranged by Jos. His extensive knowledge and network of friends proved to be invaluable. It was all so restful and restorative.

We ended the trip back in Gramam for one night before catching the morning flight out to Dubai. 

I cannot receommend Jos's services highly enough.

What a wonderful holiday full of rest and delight

Jos and his family are wonderful hosts and made our holiday very special. Layma cooked us gorgeous evening meals (on request). Jos recommended activities and places to visit and was most helpful in booking train tickets and taxis.
We stayed in the backwater cottage which is beautiful, spacious and surrounded by the backwaters and coconut palms. Although no A/C there is always a refreshing  breeze coming off the surrounding waters.The open air bathroom was wonderful.
We loved the local village (5 minute walk away) and enjoyed sitting by the fishing nets at the local bar with a cold beer! Would highly recommend staying here for an authentic experience of Kerala

Idyllic stay in Kerala

Thanks to Jos & his wife of Gramam homestay , not only for great food and hospitality but for also being the brains behind organizing our entire 18 day stay in Kerala. Never did we have to wait for a taxi or someone to collect us, they were always early and very professional and courteous ! We honestly could not have booked this trip by ourselves. Jos made this trip a trip of a lifetime -and every part of the itinerary was top notch. We had a deluxe houseboat, front seats on the boat safari... and much much more,and the best accommodations we could imagine. Jos is my hero. Namaste

Trip of a lifetime !

Beautiful waterside garden to relax and meditate in on a nice afternoon, and food cooked by Jos’ wife was incredible. 
I would give 5 stars, but the Garden Room I stayed in for 3 nights was a little tired looking, with a few ants in the bathroom (keep the door shut) and it could do with cleaning a little more thoroughly (cobwebs).
Overall a nice stay.

Amazing food and helpful host

We rented the Grammam homestay for three weeks,having had a very happy trip to kovalam and the Ganesh homestay last year.
So we were hoping for a similar experience and in terms of views, birds,glorious surroundings this cannot be beaten. It's clean, nicely furnished and on the waters edge offers wonderful dawns and sunsets. It's a peaceful escape away from hustle and bustle of noisy kochi.

We were expecting simplicity but the hard beds, very Indian bedding and inadequately equipped kitchen made it a struggle to live happily at this lovely traditional Kerala house for the 3 week stay.
It's a shame because with just a little thought this would be a perfect long term rental.it is a 30 minute rickshaw ride into fort kochi and as Europeans there are really no local restaurants we can recommend. However if you like to cook - as we do- there is great produce near at hand but more thought needs to go into the kitchen to make proper self catering  a viable option. Lack of cutlery,basic kitchen utensils, tea towels make it a struggle.
Jos the owner does his best to help with organising taxis/rickshaws/trips but really this is a max 3 night stay to escape the hustle and bustle of fort kochi rather than a properly equipped long stay.
