It was a great experience. The food was quite delicious and the staff extremely professional and customer service oriented. The quantity of the food was too much and we couldn’t touch more than 4/5 items. Overall a more than memorable experience and will definitely recommend choosing their services.

We had a very relaxing and plesent stay at the house boat. Views of the lake were breath taking complimented with amazing food served (lunch, high tea, dinner and breakfast) on the boat. The staff members on the boat were very courteous and humble. Rooms were neat and clean. Ambience was traditional Kerala style. Highlight of the day was fishing (I actually managed to catch a fish!!! thanks to the guidance provided at start by the boat staff). We also managed to see turtles, water snake and different types of birds. Would highly recommend that you reserve a day for this of you are visiting Kerala, it's totally worth it.

Very nice experience. It was our last moment plan, and this option popped up accidently. Searched on Google, and found the number of the manager who arranged a very nice houseboat for two families. The houseboats were well equipped, rooms nice and clean, well maintained. The washroom were very clean with a big bath tub. The houseboat had lots of nice wall paintings which made the boat look very rich. The outer corridors had dining table for 6 and good quality foam sofa for four. In addition, there were good spaces to sit on the deck. Although we booked our for four hours only (₹1000/hr, minimum 4 hrs) we had lunch on board (₹500/head very+non veg), is a very good houseboat for even full day with night stay. The food was really good authentic Kerala taste. The staff was very friendly and helping. They served tea and snacks in the evening which was the icing on the cake. The entire boat ride was fun through canals, around the island where you will have lots of nature beauty and serene atmosphere. All in all a very good experience. One star is reserved as we didn't do a full day trip, so we don't have night stay experience.
