Bella Homestay - Bed & breakfast in Alappuzha - Alappuzha district, India

We stayed 3 nights at Bella and it's the most lovely experience! The staff is super friendly and helped us get around and have recommendations that fit us. The room is nice, simple and comfortable. Breakfast was also very good. I would absolutely recommend staying here!

Newly reopened this homestay is quiet, fresh and clean. There is a nice upstairs balcony to sit and enjoy their garden. Only 5 mins walk to the canal. The hosts are very accommodating and organised for us a great kayaking trip from one of the villages as well as a tuk tuk to Marari. They serve a good continental breakfast.

C'est le meilleur homestay ou j'ai sejourne dans le Kerala pour un budget abordable. La maison est la plus jolie de toutes, nouvellement renovee, dans laquelle j'ai passe quelques jours. Biju est un hote hyper serviable et gentil, il a fait tout le necessaire pour organiser mes excursions dans les backwaters et les environs. La nourriture a domicile, les petits dejeuners keralais, la logistique transport, l'organisation d'excursion a Marari et dans les backwaters avec un esprit eco-responsable de terrain, les meilleurs conseils; et le tout avec une grande gentillesse et un grand devouement. La maison est tellement agreable qu'il ne faut pas hesiter a rester plus longtemps a cette etape-ci. La literie est neuve et incroyablement confortable, la salle de bain impeccable, et il y a un grand balcon, un petit jardin tropical tres bien entretenu, et une bibliotheque. Merci Biju pour ton superbe accueil!

An excellent home stay. Both Bijo n sunita are very kind and helpful!! The house is very clean and well kept. Beautiful place to spend time with family. They serve excellent breakfast with lots of fresh fruits and juices. Simply enjoyed the stay there and surely recommend this place for a peaceful n rejuvenating holiday. They also have a well trained doggy called Jackie who himself is a great host.

Stayed for 4 days, good experience with the owner Biju. Pros - Great breakfast, great host,well kept rooms, cleanliness, ambience, library of books to read. Cons- Location is a bit hidden, in a small lane, no TV, no room service,small rooms, rooms are cleaned once in 2 days, no food is available at the homestay barring the breakfast served, hot water heater conked frequently during our stay. Overall - If you want a quiet stay away from the hustle and bustle go for it.

It was like coming back home after a very long absence. Bijou is totally committed and dedicated to our needs. Within the first hour he introduced us to the guy that was our Very good and fairly priced driver for the next part of our trip. He also introduced us to the owner of the boat that we would enjoy the overnight backwater trip with as well as set up our 1/2 day paddle canoe trip for the next day. He took care of our excess luggage while we were on the over night trip. Technically we had checked out but he was able to let us freshen up in our room before leaving the next day. Always totally helpful and obliging. Set up a fair (local) tuctuc driver for our spontaneous evening meal. The room was excellent. Food excellent. Wifi excellent. Location exactly what we wanted. A little off the beaten track. But accessible to everything. Lighting via solar panels. I can relate to this. We use and are big fans of solar. Good luck Bijou. Thanks again for all your help.

One of the best home stays I have ever stayed . Viju and his team works very hard to make this stay comfortable . We loved the ambience . It is mixture of traditional Kerala culture and modern art . Plus there is a beautiful garden and library with rich collection of books . They had prepared amazing pan cakes and appam for us for breakfast which was mind blowing . Do ask for canoe ride which gives us glimpse of local life of people living on the islands of back water . Please read about the place and rules before booking the place though . Me and my wife enjoyed a lot .
