Ticked all the boxes. Great clean and spacious rooms; lovely surroundings; amazing Keralan food and thank you to Kurian for letting us know when the Theyyam performances were on and organising a taxi there.

Kurien is very helpfull to get you train tickets and to help you see a theyyam ceremony. value is really good. the only slight disadvantage is the location: you Will need a taxi to get... More

Costa Malabari is a dream place to stay - perfect food, a lovely location and great people, who helped organise all of our various comings and goings. Highly recommend, especially the chance to see the local Theyyam rituals.

Great food, private beach, good view of the sunset. What more can ask for?! We highly recommend this place to anyone who visits the area. The beach is calm, clean and private. The food is delicious and the rooms very clean and comfortable. The owner, Mr. Kurian is very knowledgeable of the area, its history and culture. We had great... More

The food here is really delicious, thanks to Anni who served up gorgeous Keralite cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The room we stayed... More

All the process was extremely disappointing, first time I get treated like that, really no respect also in the management of the problem. Wanted to make sure you all know. Be aware, if that is the approach I... More

When we arrived (it is quite hard to find, make sure you get the phone number of Kurien when you call the tourist desk in Kochi) the other guests greeted... More

I have been staying in Costa Malabari Guest house in Kannur for many years. First time one week, year after 2 weeks, then a month, and I will carry on and on. I just want to say thanks to Anni and Kurin the owner of the house. So wonderful, so kind and helpful. Anni is so popular for her cooking,... More

Perched on a cliff-top above a small cove, this guest house is the stuff of dream getaway holidays. It is certainly not a luxurious experience. Rooms are large if basic, cooled by a sea-breeze and fans. Showers are best taken by the bucket method, and the power supply is occasionally spotty. Access to the beach is via a ladder-like stairway.... More
