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.

The boat house was clean, chef prepared food was great, he matched our expectations very well and flawless. We expected boat driver to be a little more interactive to at least inform us what areas we were crossing, he did inform only if we asked, not otherwise. That was the only deterrent from me giving a 5 star rating. Else the experience was just perfect.

Throughout the Kerala trip, the best experience my family and I had was on this houseboat. The staff on boat deserves a round of applause for their politeness, generosity and clarity that I could not find anywhere else throughout Kerala. We arrived late but these guys took the responsibility and took us on a cruise on the next day, that we had missed in the evening due to a car accident, and allowed us late checkout despite the itinerary being different. Another instance worth the praise was that the morning tea was not okay and when we informed them they served another tea again and it was really good. Food, rooms, cleanliness - everything is worth 5 star. Extremely happy with their service.
