I stayed in Ashtamudi Homestay recently. I used their cheapest room (Rs. 500/- per night) for half a day for my family before boarding my houseboat. Well, it wasn't really a well appointed room (had an old style small CRT TV and a fan plus minimum light fittings) but what else do you expect for 500 bucks. My rating is... More

the place was nice and the stay was pleasant.Though the climatic conditions outside the boat are quite humid but within the premises its very soothing, calm and clean. The staff is friendly and helps you in all the ways they could. The food is made purely based on the southern India style so, if you are a north India please... More

We stayed there for one night only. The people running the place are really nice tho, its more of the actual building that's the problem. The bamboo rooms are not that great. It is very hot and humid there that the fan does not help at all. The bugs also attack from every corner and there were giant cockroaches around... More

We were made very welcome by Uma and her husband and loved our bamboo room, with a TV that actually worked! The bed was the most comfortable we had slept in for a while, and Uma made us delicious coconut pancakes for breakfast! She also arranged a canoe trip round the backwaters for us, and they have a houseboat if... More

We were 6 students that had come for a short stay in Allepey and thanks to reviewers on Tripadvisor we got to know of this amazing Home Stay. From the train station, its about 3-4 Kms and the auto drivers in Allepey would charge a max of Rs.50 from the station to this home stay. We reached without a prior... More

Please Note: This is a first time traveller review. We stayed here in Feb 2013 in a bamboo room, there was a strike for the two days while we were here, so we were stuck since no autos or taxis are available. We so wanted to get the hell out of there. I'm very dissapointed that no one, not one... More

Arrived at about 130pm from the train, and the owners were immediately able to organise a motor boat trip for us. That in itself was fantastic. Rooms are clean, well organised, shower & toilet nice, & has WiFi! We unfortunately weren't able to stay, as there was a strike the next two days, so we decided to leave Allepey rather... More
