The stay and hospitality at the resort is fantastic and the food is very good. The resort environment is awesome and lot of greenery. But the Houseboat package offered by the resort is terrible. Never opt for this houseboat package and one can certainly arrange on your own once you land in kumarakom at a much cheaper price and better... More

This hotel is in a great setting slightly blemished by manager quirks. The grounds are beautiful and well kept and the view of the boats passing by the porch is worth the reasonable price of the hotel. The duplex cabins are great for people traveling in a group or for family groups. The rooms are clean and satisfactory if you... More

Great Clean Hotel on the banks of the lake. The rooms are in the form of cottages and are very clean, with a nice home feel atmosphere. Bathrooms are clean too. The Cottages have a very upclose view of the lake, being only a few meters away from the lake. Hence, you can enjoy the great view and the nice... More

We stayed here for two nights, on either side of our houseboat trip from Allepey. Our family, with two young boys, stayed in aircon bungalows by the lakeside and it was beautiful to wake in the morning and swim with insect skimming the water above your head . As another reviewer has said, the lake it is set on is... More

lovely place facing the Lake. The property is right on the waterfront & the delux rooms facing the lake were excellent. We had booked a non ac lake facing delux room but were given a lake facing ac standard room instead which was not as good as the delux rooms. our standard room was small and the bathroom was not...

Was there during the first week of October. The rooms are clean and the staff friendly. Not much facilities apart from the private walk to the lake bed, Hammock to relax and few indoor games. Food is ok and little priced higher for the quality. Best place to relax -less disturbance. Staff is very friendly, especially the manager (Anoop) who... More

Stayed with family and must say it was a peaceful and comfortable one. Its best not to leave doors open in the nights to prevent mosquito bites. The gardens are maintained well, but could have done with some playground stuff for the children etc. I must say that the food was very pricey (e.g. egg curry Rs 90) for this... More

“Romantic, eco-friendly with superb service” This has got to be one of the most wonderful experiences of our stay in Kumarakom . The rooms were amazing and the food was fantastic. The best thing was the location which looked over the spectacular backwaters and was very relaxing especially with the hammocks. Interesting short tour of the farm and evening sunset... More
