The entire house is immaculate and pleasant to be in. Mr. Francis was a terrific host - friendly, kind, resourceful, and helpful in all kinds of ways. We would definitely stay there again and recommend it to anyone. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Jan 5, 2020 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Very Very Disappointed and treated very poorly Very disappointed to arrive and to be told there is no room even though we had a booking reference from Hotels.com Our room was reserved and Francis told us we have not got a room and informed us we would have to find another place to stay. We booked 2 rooms and he told us he only had one room left and then told us it was not his fault even though we had a hotels.com confirmation and reference that we had two rooms booked. My brother had traveled from England only to be told he had to find another hotel. We left very unhappy and very disappointed with Francis the proprietor who made no attempt to help and kept blaming Hotels.com Thanksfully we managed to find another hotel nearby no thanks to Francis to help save our new year's celebrations. Please be aware in future to make sure your room is guaranteed at this hotel so you will not have to deal with the a situation we had to deal with . For the record we left this hotel and booked in to the Hotel 18 at Fort Kochi very last minute and they treated us like royalty and helped us forget our dreadful dealing with the Francis Residence Hotel. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hilton Cancun Mar Caribe All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-Hilton-Cancun-Mar-Caribe-All-Inclusive-Resort.h41491098.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Timeo, A Belmond Hotel, Taormina](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Timeo.h889634.Hotel-Information) > > [Kochi Marriott Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kochi-Hotels-Kochi-Marriott-Hotel.h9597588.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach Hotel in Albania](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Albania-Beach-Hotel.0-0-d2-tBeachHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Residence Inn by Marriott Jersey City](https://www.expedia.ca/Jersey-City-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Jersey-City.h17051195.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Seychelles](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Seychelles-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d159-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Le Meridien Kochi](https://www.expedia.ca/Kochi-Hotels-Le-Meridien-Kochi.h583740.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Las Vegas](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels.d178276.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Comfort Inn South](https://www.expedia.ca/Winnipeg-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-South.h11798.Hotel-Information) > > [Impressive Premium Punta Cana](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Impressive-Premium-Punta-Cana.h27573830.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hyatt Kochi Bolgatty](https://www.expedia.ca/Kochi-Hotels-Grand-Hyatt-Kochi-Bolgatty.h20141582.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Niagara SkyWheel](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-SkyWheel-Hotels.0-l6189600-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Tokyo](https://www.expedia.ca/Tokyo-Hotels.d179900.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Calgary Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Calgary-Airport.h787696.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Resol Kyoto Kawaramachi Sanjo](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Resol-Kyoto-Kawaramachi-Sanjo.h21926337.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Dorval (YUL) to Tamarindo (TNO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/tno/montreal-to-tamarindo) > > [Flights from Goffs (YHZ) to Konavle (DBV)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/dbv/halifax-to-dubrovnik) > > [Flights from Cranbrook, BC (YXC-Canadian Rockies Intl.) to Lethbridge, AB (YQL-Lethbridge County)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxc/yql/cranbrook-to-lethbridge) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Mesa (AZA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/aza/toronto-to-mesa) > > [Flights from Hounslow (LHR) to Dorval (YUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/lhr/yul/london-to-montreal) > > [Flights from Penticton (YYF) to Richmond (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyf/yvr/penticton-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Mississauga (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/yyz/calgary-to-toronto) > > [Flights from charlottetown airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/yyg/flights-from-charlottetown-airport) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Rio Segundo (SJO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/sjo/toronto-to-san-jose) > > [Flights from Richmond (YVR) to Mississauga (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/yyz/vancouver-to-toronto) > > [easyJet](https://www.expedia.ca/EasyJet-Flights.cU2.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Malta (MLK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/mlk/toronto-to-malta)
