We had a wonderful stay! The house is very nice, clean, and comfortable — the rooms are spotless and the air conditioner is perfectly cold. The kitchen is brand new and fully equipped with modern appliances, which made our stay even more convenient. It’s a perfect place for families, and we stayed for a week very comfortably. The owner is super friendly and helpful, and the price is very reasonable. The location is also great, very close to town. Highly recommended!

Our stay at Colombo J-Villa in Kerala was truly exceptional. The villa was stunning, with every finish done to a high standard. Everything was spotless and beautifully maintained. The host added thoughtful touches that made us feel genuinely cared for, like slippers in the bathrooms and toothbrushes for every guest. We loved it so much that we changed our travel plans just to come back for another night at the end of our tour. It was the best decision we made. The host welcomed us back with warm hospitality, serving us tea and a delicious cake. It felt like coming home. This villa isn’t just a place to stay, it’s a place you remember long after you leave.
