The Good Karma Inn is owned and run by two brothers Anoob and Shyam. I mainly dealt with Anoob, who I found to be a very nice friendly guy. The hotel is in a nice spot, a short walk to everything you need in Kochi. The room was very pleasant, plenty of space and a nice seating area to relax... More

Came back here after staying in Mother Tree. Had a really lovely AC room with balcony. We got laundry done and they even managed to get Holi colours out of my top. There's no TV in the room but I don't use it if there is anyway and we had no problems with switching on the hot water. When the... More

We only stayed one night in this hotel on 12th March, we were made very welcome in this homestay and would recommend this to anyone for a short stay. As there were 3 of us in the room and one of us had to sleep on the floor, it would be good to have a better mattress for the person... More

A decent place, but very misleading. Advertises on agoda and their website that they have hot water and TVs in the room, but in reality you may or may not have hot water. Despite them insisting that this was a hot water room, i later realized that there is not even a connection to the hot water, turn the knob,... More

This was the second time that I stayed at a homestay in Kochi and both were nice. The Good Karma is well located in a quiet area just a few minutes by foot from the main attractions. The owners are very friendly and helpful and they seem to cater very well for the (mainly younger) clientele here. Good Karma offers... More
