Everything was amazing from start to finish. The boat is beautifully furnished, the sun deck at the top was an added bonus, great for sunbathing and relaxing. We saw many boats and ours looked the best by far. The 3 staff on board were super, the food cooked was plentiful and tasty. We were left alone to really relax.

Xandari Riverscapes are a fleet of house boats which sails along Vembanad Lake and in the backwaters of Alleppey. The houseboats are docked near Pallathuruthy Bridge.

The traditional houseboats, called "kettuvallams" have wood harvested from local jackfruit tree plantations, hand-stitched by local craftsmen with coconut fiber rope.

The best experience in all India. We absolutely loved it. The service and food was excellent. It was perfect and our favourite part of our vacations. The crew staff were lovely and they all made our stay great. Thanks!

Truly amazing cruise, very relaxing and enjoyable. The boat was beautiful and traditional, very comfortable with a lounge zone in front from where we could enjoy the views. We appreciated all the small touches and decorations on the boat. There were four crew members - all of them very nice and friendly. The food was so delicious, especially the fresh seafood! And the surrounding nature was just astonishing! I only wish we could have stayed longer.

    Fabulous hotel. The location was quiet and right on the beachfront. The rooms were spotlessly clean and the greenery in the grounds well kept. Breakfast was super. Daniela and Jackson were so kind and very helpful - recommending places to eat, bookingTuk Tuks . Nothing was too much trouble for them. She even gave me an adaptor plug to keep for the rest of our holiday in India. Daniela arranged an overnight Houseboat cruise for us which was wonderful. Highly recommend this property.

    Location is perfect right on the water’s edge, loved the wood! - we enjoyed the views, took out a Shakira and really loved the recommended walk. Nice to have an alternative stay in Alleppey without going on a houseboat. Jeswin was so helpful with all and a pleasure to meet.

    The houseboat was an absolute little gem and was very comfortable. The staff on the boat were exceptionally helpful and very kind. They will give you the option to buy additional fresh seafood at a stop and will cook it for dinner if requested which I though was a lovely gesture. Food was amazing too!

    Warm and very kind welcome from Beiju and Arsha, the impeccable cleanliness of the guesthouse (with the occidental gaze of Sonia), the calm of the place on the edge of Alleppey (7 minutes walk) and Backwaters (5 minutes). Do not hesitate to ask Beiju and Arsha for the organization of houseboat tours at the best prices, they advise you for your visits or help you for the rest of your trip by choosing the most suitable solution for you (good WiFi at the homestay); they also manage other guesthouses in Fort Kochi…
