The very reason to book a home stay is we need a home, a complete package like rooms, living room, kitchen, etc. I went with an infant and i wanted to access the kitchen. However, the kitchen was locked as it was used as the office. There were no basic items available like plates and glasses. We asked for plates and they said they won’t provide and we need to purchase paper plates (use and throw. The paper plates and cups are banned in kerala and we were unable to source them. When we said this, then the caretaker provided us some plates. It’s a home and we stayed. A hotel would have been a better option. One advantage is that the beds are double beds and a big family can comfortably sleep.
