Ocean Pearl — Hotel in Kerala

DONT GO ANYWHERE CLOSE TO THIS “HOTEL”. WORST PLACE WE HAVE BEEN TO IN ALL OF INDIA SO FAR. ALL OF THE OTHER REVIEWS ARE PROBABLY FAKE. At first sight when owner showed us around it seemed ok - then we wanted to go to bed after a long travel - NOT POSSIBLE. Hairs ALL OVER bed. Weird stains and stinky smell of the pillows. Did not use them. Had to sleep without blanket and pillow because everything was disgusting.

“Mattresses” are as hard as a rock. Luckily there was another room in the house with a different bed. Still with stains and bad smell but less hairs. (See pictures) Was it at all changed or cleaned after last use? Probably not. Whole house was filled with mold, insects, and ants nests (see pictures). Closet stank so bad we didn’t put anything in - also completely full with mold.

Sinks were not cleaned at all, dirt and hair still there from last visit. Disgusting old alcohol bottles and an old bra in the kitchen corner. Owner is next door in his nice house - you don’t need an alarm clock - the man will call you at 8:30 in the morning to tell you you left the lights outside on.

Man has weird excuses when we complain about the dirt - gave us a little money back after long discussion. DONT EVER GO HERE. YOU WILL REGRET IT. THIS IS NO OCEAN PEARL BUT...
