Amazing shikkara ride organised by host. We got to help prepare our food which was awesome as we haven’t yet made it to a cooking class. Amazing museum and shop attached to add to the cultural experience. Will be back to experience the new Ayurveda location that the hosts are opening soon! Great taxi also organised by hosts. So helpful and communicative.

This is a very beautiful and interesting building that also houses a curiosity shop. There are restaurants and kiosks all around the property and the breakfast served here was the best we had during our time in India. The Owner is a lovely woman and nothing is too much trouble for her. The rooms are very clean and tidy with great air conditioning.

The Wooden Castle is beautiful, and within easy walking distance of the canal and restaurants. I had a lovely room with a big balcony and a very comfortable bed. The family who run this hotel are so friendly and helpful. They booked me an early boat to watch the sunrise and the opening of the water lilies on the canals and lake. It was magical. Then I was fed a huge, delicious home-cooked breakfast. Thank you for your hospitality.

A beautiful wooden building with very comfortable rooms. Very clean and, as it is set back from the road, quiet. Viji provides a delicious breakfast and the dinner she made for us was excellent. Good location for the bird sanctuary and backwater boating - a bit out from the centre of town but easy to get a tuk-tuk.

Room was a bit dusty with an empty water bottle left on top of the wardrobe!

Such a pretty wooden building, which has been built with real attention to detail. Our room was very comfortable and breakfast was delicious. We had great ayurvedic treatments at the spa a couple of minutes walk from the property and also went on an excellent early morning shikkara trip, which was organised by the owner. The owners were friendly and we enjoyed our stay.

Our stay here was lovely. Perfect location to explore the backwaters and the property has bikes you can borrow! Host was very accommodating and made the best breakfasts every morning.

Nothing about the property we didn’t like but there isn’t many restaurants near by - we found a nice one up the road (kumarakom kitchens) and ate there 3 times.

We really enjoyed our stay here, the room was a great size and the bed was really comfortable. We had the best sleep we’ve had in 5 weeks in India here as it was comfortable, quite and it was dark even in the mornings (you don’t get these 3 things in most hotels in India!) there was always hot water and the room was really clean. Liji was lovely and made a lovely breakfast, she also kindly helped us with recharging our SIM cards and sorting a tuktuk to the bus station. We accidentally left with our room key and they were so nice about it - we offered to post it back but they took care of it. We would stay here again if in kumarakom… oh and we loved using the free bicycles to cycle the backwaters which was one of our favourite times in all of our trip!

Extremely kind and thoughtful hosts. Everyone at the property went out of their way to make sure our stay was a great one. Lovely and generous breakfast. Great location. Building was a labour of love and reflects traditional style of Kerala.
