Backwater Retreat - Honeymoon House

tres belle maison ancienne, avec chambres donnant sur un très beau balcon sur le canal, très calme. Mais il y a un gros problème de propreté. Les draps et serviettes sont hors d’age et ne sont pas nets, la salle de bain très mal nettoyée. Le jardin très mal entretenu.Le service est cependant correct la famille serviable. Ils nous ont organisé un magnifique tour en petit bateau privé dans les backwaters. La cuisine n’est pas mauvaise mais vu l’et de propreté de la cuisine ont peut avoir des doutes... Avec un effort de propreté ce serait un merveilleux endroit. Prix un peu surestimé au vu de l’etat Général de la maison.

Værelset var nusset og mørkt. Måtte kæmpe for at få et rent lagen at lægge under det genbrugte tæppe. Personalet boede på hotellet, og virkede nærmest irriteret over besøg af gæster. Men billigt, og med skøn udsigt til floden!

It was described as a "Honeymoon Cottage" but it was more like a home stay/guest house. The owners were wanting to make our stay as comfortable as possible which was nice, but everything was rather basic. The power dropped out every half hour or so. Nothing in the neighborhood was of interest. And, a bit out of the way. I'd recommend this for travelers needing accommodation for a wedding or a party in the area but not really for tourists.

The owner was very friendly and tried his best to make our stay comfortable. The staff was nice too.

Stay was good. Food was o.k. Prepared as per your need. Approach road is very bad.

A nice place on the backwaters. A little out of the way, but worth the travel. A great place to relax, away from the hustle and bustle. The staff were very attentive and incredibly helpful. Rooms clean, comfortable and spacious. Definitely worth a visit!

I been there accidentally as I was to kottayam on a business trip. Expedia got me into tis place. Was quiet, away from the traffic & buzz. Have chilled there. The only catch was the kitchen closes by 10@ nitension. Apart from that a very good place for budget honeymoon ( though I was on a business trip). I shall visit this place again.

Had a quiet quality time together

My wife and me spent a few days here during our 3 week tour of Kerala in February 14. We chose it to get the real backwater experience so were not worried about the slightly remote location. Our room was basic but once we had learned how to use the bucket and jug method of washing all was well, the cold water shower wasn't really needed. An excellent place to chill out, we spent hours on the lovely veranda watching the abundant wild life: a king fishers spotters dream. The peace and tranquility really was a step back in time. Food from the simple menu was fresh and well prepared; we loved the dosa for breakfast. What makes this place stand out is the excellent service: the owner really does want his guests to enjoy their stay and offers a level of service not achieved by many an Indian 4 star. Top tip: take up the offer of the 3 hour backwater cruise; we had the boat to ourselves for 2200 rupees and it was a stunning experience. Great stop off for a few days; highly recommended.

Good Service, Mr. Kurien and his son gave good Hospitality.
