Divya and Dileep were so warm and friendly - helped us with many local trips and served great breakfast. The location is really peaceful and serene. On top of this - the overnight trip in the backwaters on their boat was truly outstanding and best possible value for money!

The evening shikara ride was great for our group and was at the right price point - 2000 rupees for 2 hours for 2 families. The bird sanctuary was a big disappointment as there is not much to see and the facilities are also very poor - of the two bird watching towers one is damaged and other does not have a great view. Not many species of birds could be seen or heard, its more of a nature walk than a bird sanctuary.

As soon as we arrived it felt like Paradise.
As soon as we arrived it felt like Paradise. As the gates shut the noise and hustle bustle of an Indian town were left outside.
The beautiful old buildings in heritage style, lovely garden with trees and the only sound that of birdsong. It didn’t end there. All the staff from Vaisakh the Manager, Amal the Chef, the lady helping in the kitchen and the lady constantly sweeping the floors and working in the garden were helpful, courteous and always had a cheerful smile. The two men were happy to enter into conversations with us when they were not busy. They also responded immediately when asked for anything.
The food was delicious and well cooked but they found it amusing that we couldn’t handle the chillis in some of the dishes.
The pool was clean and cool and very welcoming in the heat.
We spent a very happy and relaxing week at Brookside Heritage Resort and it was the best place to start our Kerala adventure after a long and arduous journey from the UK. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. We will definitely be back.

We stayed in a property that gave us half-board meals (dinner and breakfast) and had in-house activities such as a sunset boat cruise and an evening cultural show. All this reinforced the kerala theme and made for a wonderful experience.

The backwaters are unique with water lilies and a wide variety of birds that can be viewed in a Shikara at dawn. A houseboat to spend the day and enjoy local cuisine served using fresh fish caught and sold by fisherwomen on the banks is a fabulous experience.

Kumarakom is a lovely back water locality, away from the hustle bustle of the city. Its a relaxing environment where you can disconnect from the busy world outside and yet if you need to get back to it, it's just nearby.
This was the best part of my Kerala trip. The place is a beautiful getaway on the bank of a tranquil scenic river. Very clean and comfortable rooms. The hostess Divya was amazing and took care of every need, starting from coffee in bed at 6 am to arranging a sunset cruise and morning shikara ride. The freshly cooked dinner on the cruise with pan fried lake fish was something special. Divya even went out of her way to make sure the taxi dropped us safely to Trivandrum, our next destination. Overall a very enjoyable and memorable stay.
Low quality build with little attention to detail.
Swimming pool was bug ridden and with exposed wiring.
Sun loungers were limited and felt like this hotel should be a lot better from the listing, and for the high cost we paid.
Had much better accommodation for half the cost of this place.
The bar is hidden in a sweaty dark room, not good for a social drink. No refreshments available, water provided in rooms.
Food was lovely.
Good location and friendly staff let down by the poor quality accommodation.
Location at the lakefront was just amazing. Swimming pool is lovely & clean and not cold & what a view. The hotel has boats which you can arrange for a ride on the lake - we took an hours ride on the motorboat at sunset - this was the highlight of our stay. Room was clean, comfortable with tea & coffee making facilities. most of the staff were friendly & helpful. breakfast was nice - lots of choice European & Indian with fresh eggs and a lovely cup of tea. good value for money

Amazing high end resort hotel in Kumarakom! Slightly on the expensive side, it is still well worth the splurge with their service beyond exceptional! One feels very special and the staff is amazing with a lovely smile always! The well maintained pool is definitely the highlight and the lunch/dinner service exceeded expectations with a live performance at night as well!
this property has a wonderful ambience and the location is superb. The views from our room and all of the facilities is of the glorious lagoon with the lake beyond. There’s a wonderful restaurant, very nice work out facility and thriving Ayurvedic spa treatment area. There’s also a happy hour from 5 to 7 which is very good value in a lovely bar overlooking the lake.
What an amazing hotel. It was perfect for our family of 6 adults and 3 children. The staff were exceptional throughout the resort. They were very friendly and flexible with our needs. We loved the pool, food in the restaurant, cooking demonstrations, biking and games room. Do not hesitate to book. It was very hard to leave.
Everything about the property was excellent.
It was a super awesome stay.
I would particularly like to add a word about Ms. Janci, the Guest Relationship Manager of the hotel, who made sure that everything was perfect. I have not seen a more hard-working lady than Janci. Kudos to her and her amazing hospitality.
Zuri Kumarakom provided a great vacation stay for the extended family. With 6 adults and 5 kids, all enjoyed the place alike. The staff and their hospitality is the place’s best feature. Rooms are spacious and are well equipped for a family, with all amenities. The Restaurant is great , with delicious cuisines.
The food was exceptional and great value for money. The lodge was also very clean and great for viewing the lakes animal activities especially in Lake View 5 lodge.
All staff were very helpful and soo welcoming!
The afternoon snacks and drink are a nice touch 👌
The whole place is very quite and relaxing
Divya and Dileep were so warm and friendly - helped us with many local trips and served great breakfast. The location is really peaceful and serene. On top of this - the overnight trip in the backwaters on their boat was truly outstanding and best possible value for money!
The hotel is in a beautiful location with well kept grounds full of flowers and birds. The staff in the restaurant were really lovely. I had been ill and they made special plain dishes for me and checked how I was feeling the following day.
- flexible with unplanned late check-in
- host very kind, excellent conversation
- delicious Keralan breakfast
- bird watching possible just by footwalk (Sanctuary visit not needed)
- lovely building
- helped to book a very good houseboat
Wonderful, well maintained territory of the hotel. It was very pleasant to walk around. There are some activities to do for children and adults. A nice SPA - highly recommended! A free boat trip in the evening is well appreciated.
It was an awesome experience. The boat is well maintained and equipped with everything necessary and the staff was amazing. The chef cooked the best meals I have had in Kerala. It was extremely peaceful and fun. 10/10
