The feedback which we receive from our guest’s world-wide is really encouraging. And we like you to have a glimpse at these feedbacks before you decide to embark on a journey to stay with us.

*	The host and her family took great care of us even while respecting our privacy. We were touched by their caring nature. Through them and other people in the village nearby the home stay we got to know about the Kerala lifestyle. At the home stay, we were fascinated by the beauty of the place, with greenery on all sides. We loved a lot spending time on the Cherai beach and the boat ride in the river of Varapuzha was an experience which was really worth. We absolutely enjoyed the tour package spanning 15 days which the host arranged for us. - Eva Hayson and Patricia Alston, Warwick, UK.
*	I enjoyed the ambience of the home stay with the host having good knowledge of various issues. I was looking out for a non-disturbing atmosphere, and in ‘Swapna Koodaram’ home stay, in the non-polluted and non-noisy atmosphere, I spent time penning down a book which is ready for publication. Even though I was looking out only for a good place to stay, I had the added opportunity to find an educated host with whom I could have some valuable discussions. I stayed at the home stay for over a month. I enjoyed watching the dances, arts, getting dressed up in Kerala traditional clothing, learning to climb the coconut tree, getting an ayurvedic massage, practicing Yoga and so on and on. Love to come back to your place. - Brian Taylor, Boston, US
*	Myself and my friend were non-resident guests at “Swapna Koodaram” and we came daily to attend Yoga classes and had also benefited from the ayurveda treatments arranged. We also enrolled for viewing the various dance forms and visiting the art museums near to “Swapna Koodaram”. I highly recommend this place to all. -Kallen. P. Canberra, Australia.
*	Swapna, the host and her family were very warm and friendly. My husband and I had requested Swapna to arrange Yoga and Meditation Retreat for us and it benefited us a lot. We also had some good ayurvedic treatments, as a result of which we feel very fresh and free from stress now. We really liked the pleasant peaceful environment which is perfect for a good calm holiday. We enjoyed the beautiful boat ride in the river and walking around the cool sandy beach. It was a memory to cherish. We would love to visit Swapna Koodaram home stay again when we get the next opportunity. -Diana, B. London, UK
*	It was really a new experience of staying in a Kerala home with and cozy rooms. My 2 children had real fun playing at the nearby cherai beach, boat ride in the Varapuzha River and enjoying the cool breeze at the Aluva River, all nearby to the home stay. My husband and I were fascinated by the beauty of the place and I joined in for a cooking class to learn the delicious Kerala recipes as well as had the herbal beauty treatments. Both I and my husband had Ayurvedic massages and learned Yoga and saw some dances. We also got to know about Jyotishastra and Vaastushatra. Frida, S. A. Valencia, Spain.
*	We were moved by the magical beauty of the long-stretch of green fields around the place of home stay and the nearby beach and rivers. Our host arranged tour packages for us considering the fact that we had only few days to spend in Kerala and we were very satisfied with the choice of attractive places which she chose for us. Unfortunately since all the rooms were booked at the time of our visit, we could not stay at Swapna Koodaram Home stay. We have promised our host and her family that we would make a visit very soon for a long vacation and Swapna has promised that she would reserve a room for us at her home stay bungalow. -Linda Walker and Jacqueline Harris, Seattle, U.S.
*	I was overwhelmed with the warm, friendly as well as neatly maintained atmosphere at the ‘Swapna Koodaram’ home stay by the host and her family. I had come to visit Kerala for my research and the host herself being a research scholar helped me a lot. The food at her home stay is very delicious and the ambience provided is extremely good. Visiting the various tourist attractions was made possible by the tour package which was done by Swapna and it was indeed a wonderful experience. I benefited from the Yoga classes, cookery classes and the ayurvedic massages. -Christine, J. Vancouver, Canada.
*	I was a non-resident guest at “Swapna Koodaram”. Swapna Koodaram arranges facilities to learn Yoga, have Ayurveda massage, to see the dances, etc. I got a Kerala sari and blouse made for me. I loved the food served and their hospitality and the tour packages arranged for me. The package offered is a ‘miss-not’ thing. Highly recommended. Leopold, J. Berlin, Germany.
*	Very beautiful location, cool and bright. Had some good tasty food. We enjoyed watching Kathakali and other dances and visits to art museums. We enjoyed our vacation thoroughly with the ayurvedic treatments and the Coconut-Climbing which my husband tried to learn. We also got ourselves the kerala dress made. We enjoyed the pleasant Kerala village lifestyle and taking a walk as well as a cycle ride around the beautiful village of the home stay, even though we could not get a room to stay at “Swapna Koodaram” because the rooms were all filled. Swapna arranged a hotel for us to stay.  Mr. Antoine Patrick and Mrs. Antione, Chavenay, France
*	We had first thought of staying at a hotel. However we wanted to know more about the people of Kerala and so we opted for a home stay and we were looking for a really good place to stay. And it was then while surfing the internet, that the Swapna Koodaram home stay caught our attention. And we decided we will opt for Swapna Koodaram” over any other home stay. And we were proved right in our decision. It is a great place to spend one’s holidays, with the magnificent beauty of the green fields, and the rivers and the beaches all at a stone’s throw. And when one gets to enjoy the ayurvedic treatments, attend the yoga classes, cookery classes, view the various dance forms, visit the art museums and so on. I strongly recommend Swapna Koodaram as a venue for tourists to enjoy diverse interests. Mrs and Mr. Mark Williams, US.
