The Sapphire Suite Apartment

Diwin JoelRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Absolutely loved my stay at The Sapphire Suite in Trivandrum! Located in the heart of the city at Palayam, this luxurious 1BHK apartment exceeded all expectations. The location is perfect—right in the middle of everything, from cafes and markets to cultural spots and historic landmarks. The apartment itself is stunning. Decorated in calming tones of white and blue with gold accents, it has the feel of a stylish hotel with the warmth of a home. Every detail was thoughtfully curated—from the plush furniture to the fully equipped kitchen. The amenities were a huge bonus: a serene swimming pool for relaxing evenings and a well-maintained gym to keep up with workouts. What truly made my experience exceptional was the host—genuine, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. Always available and truly went out of his way to ensure I had a seamless and memorable stay. If you’re visiting Trivandrum, The Sapphire Suite isn’t just a place to stay—it’s part of the experience. Highly, highly recommended

Rental Kings - Villa 01

BishalRating, 5 stars4 months ago
Beautiful stay at Thiruvananthapuram. Sad we could not stay for more than a day. The house is beautifully decorated and great for long stays. Really well setup, with all amenities you might need. No problems at all. The host is easily contactable. It’s very close to the airport as well, barely 500m away. definite recommendation especially for family trips

Family fun 2 BHK spacious house

NishantRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Had an amazing stay at Steve’s place. Steve’s parents who stay downstairs were super kind and helpful. Had a great time conversing with them. This place is centrally located and makes it convenient to commute. Zomato/Swiggy works just fine. This place has a dedicated car parking, which keeps your vehicle safe.

Elegant Minimalist Villa

parvathyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
I recently stayed at a villa in Varkala, and it was an amazing experience. The location was ideal—close to the beach, cliffs, and temples, yet still peaceful and private. Surrounded by lush greenery, the villa offered a relaxing atmosphere, and the neighborhood was safe and friendly. A big thank you to Kumar Uncle, who was incredibly helpful throughout our stay. He shared great local tips and made sure we had everything we needed. Praveen, the host, was equally fantastic—quick to respond and always attentive to our needs. Overall, it was a fantastic stay. With the beautiful setting, perfect location, and incredible hosts, it truly exceeded all expectations.
