Uma and Subash welcomed us with open hearts, a sense of humor, and big smiles... such friendly people! They made the atmosphere of the place homey and comfortable. We stayed in a bamboo room, which was beautiful and clean and opened out into a lovely common area. It had a typical Indian feel. Even though we only stayed for 2... More

I enjoyed staying at the Ashtamudi very much. I stayed there for two nights back in March. Considering the price (500Rs) the little room with a fan was a decent deal. It was clean and taken care of. The best thing about this place is the friendly atmosphere that Uma and her husband create in this little home rather than... More

We only spent a night at Ashtamudi but loved it very much. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful. When it came to river cruises or transport they knew exactly how to get us what we wanted and needed. We would definitely stay again if we found ourselves back in backwater country.

We had a lovely stay at Ashtamudi. The guest house is a close 1/2 block from the canal, but in a quiet residential area. We stayed in the upstairs rooms which are uniquely decorated in bamboo and seems like you are on a ricebarge. The family were so helpful and friendly organizing different outings for us. We enjoyed using their... More

The bamboo rooms at AshtaMudi are big and beautiful and really unique. You almost feel like you are staying in a village hut, not a hotel! The house is well-located, easy walking distance to the main town but hidden in a quiet lane. It did get noisy at night occasionally as there was a large common area outside the room,... More

Subash, Uma, and the brother in law were always extremely helpful and attentive to all of my questions and needs while staying there in March 2012. Ashtamudi becomes an excellent hub in Kerala and Allapuzha for a few days. My room was clean and functional, I had no big complaints at all, but the big positives lie in the breakfast... More

Our stay at Ashtamudi was fabulous. It was, as the name suggests, like staying at home. Food and hospitality was awesome. This is not a place where cooks prepare stereotyped food. Uma (the host) prepares everything herself for her guests. Taste was wonderful. I have never seen such hard working persons in my life. They also own two house boats.... More
