Hotels are fine but Homestay is a perfect idea to expertise your travel in Kottayam.
Kerala was the first to explore the homestay way of life. Numerous homestays have huge heritage value and ambience. Prices vary according to facilities and location, and there is often no room service. You could try booking through a company like Homes Kottayam. They have a list of homes which they can help you to get at the area you needed.
What is a homestay and how does it work? How is it different than staying in a hotel?
When you stay in a homestay you will get a feel at home. You will be have a luxury room, normally with an ensuite bathroom, and with all kind of necessaries you may hope to find in a boutique hotel. It takes the detachment away from tourism and gives you a unique and unforgettable experience of your journey.
You can cook you own fresh meals at home .
How would you locate a suitable homestay, and how would you know whether it's perfect and safe?
The standard and quality of homestays can vary dramatically. Anyone can set themselves up as a homestay and usually there are no regulations relating to safety and standards.
If you want to find a high quality homestay it is important that you do some research or book through a reputable agent who will be able to offer some form of guarantee as to what you will be getting.
Homes Kottayam have properties that are unique in some way to ensure their guests have a good stay. They provide comfort stay, cleanliness, safety and originality.
You should thoroughly research before booking independent homestays, check review sites such as Trip Advisor for recent guest feedback and ask for recommendations on travel forums (but beware of being approached directly by touts).
