Staying on a houseboat in Kerala was one of the most enchanting experiences I’ve ever had! Cruising through the serene backwaters was like stepping into a different world—peaceful, lush, and brimming with natural beauty. The houseboat itself was a perfect blend of traditional Kerala design and modern comfort, with spacious rooms, clean facilities, and a cozy ambiance that made the stay even more enjoyable. The highlight was, of course, the stunning views of the endless coconut groves, rice paddies, and quaint villages ***** the waterway. Sitting on the deck, watching the golden sunset reflected on the calm waters, was simply magical. The gentle lapping of the water against the boat and the cool breeze created an atmosphere of complete relaxation. The staff were exceptionally warm and welcoming, always attentive to our needs while giving us plenty of privacy to enjoy the experience. The meals on board were delicious, featuring freshly prepared Kerala delicacies, especially the seafood, which was a treat in itself. Overall, my houseboat stay in Kerala was a dream come true—a perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and cultural immersion. I would highly recommend this unique experience to anyone visiting Kerala. It’s the best way to truly soak in the beauty and tranquility of this incredible region!

From getting to the place to the parking to the overall condition of the houseboat needs a lot of work & maintenance. The boats are probably 10-15 years old, and so are all the bathroom fittings and beds, linens, and towels. Bedsheets, pillow covers had holes, towel borders were torn because of overuse, and towels were bald and rough. There was not even 1 hook in the bathroom to hang a towel. The towel holder just above the commode was broken and useless. There was just 1 dim light in the bathroom, making it look even more terrible. There was no bed, and the mattress was on the floor, with a lizard in the bedroom/cabin. The common areas were good, the food was excellent and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We had a great time with fellow passengers. Since this was not our first houseboat experience so we knew what was expected.

The food was good, and the fish fry was delicious. The houseboat is excellent and well-maintained. The room was clean, and the view while the boat was moving was really nice. However, none of the charging points were working in the room, and the staff had no solution for it. If we hadn’t brought a power bank, it would have been difficult to manage.

It was a pleasant stay rooms were clean and food was also good also had north indian options in dinner

Positives: food was excellent. Staff were very supportive. Boat was great. Good place to relax and chill. Disadvantages: sailing time was short i guess. Suggestion : it could have been great if some entertainment can be planned for 30 min in between 2pm to 4pm.
