    Terrible Stay

    customer.family with 1 kid

    I recently booked a homestay through MakeMyTrip, which mentioned that kitchen access was allowed. However, upon arrival, the host initially refused to let us cook despite us bringing our own ingredients. After a discussion, he agreed but imposed strict conditions, which we accepted. Unfortunately, throughout our stay, the host frequently intruded every 10 minutes while we were using the kitchen, constantly monitoring and instructing us on cleaning, making us feel uncomfortable. Later, when we were simply having a conversation with our family at night, he asked us to stop talking and sleep, even though we were not making excessive noise. Additionally, we were given two rooms, but we later discovered that the third bedroom in the homestay was already occupied by another guest. This was never mentioned in the listing, and we were under the impression that we had booked a private stay. Sharing the property with an unknown person was a serious concern for our privacy and security. This experience was highly uncomfortable and not as described in the listing. I request MakeMyTrip to take appropriate action against the host and provide a resolution for the inconvenience caused.

    yarbash a.

    birds nest give us a very comfortable stay in fort kochi. it was only 5-10 min to the beaches and a lot of nice aesthetic cafés. the only thing which bothered us is that finding the home stay, as it was not as proper as in the location. we spend almost 15-30 minutes to find the property. otherwise we really enjoyed staying there.
