Why Not Houseboat

Lovely people and very nice boat. It’s relatively simple but clean and great service. The food is amazing.

A wonderful one night stay on the why not 1 houseboat! The crew were fantastic and catered for our every need - so caring! The food was incredible. Highly recommend this to anyone wanting a houseboat 😃

Exceptional Service Very beautifully furnished interiors and upper deck. The panoramic view from the upper deck was really amazing.

Everything - the boat was amazing, spotlessly clean, all toiletries provided. The staff Bennett, Damien and the wonderful Captain were there for our every need, totally spoiled, provided everything we required. The food was outstanding. We stopped at the fish market and purchased prawns for Dinner. Damien is an excellent cook and all the food, lunch, dinner and breakfast - amazing! The accommodation - more than we expected - like a top class Hotel! A great big thankyou to the Captain, Damien and Bennett! Would highly recommend Why Not Houseboat!

Liked everything.

Our houseboat trip was the highlight of our holiday in Kerala. I would recommend a two night houseboat stay to anyone planning their visit and specifically the ‘Why Not’ houseboats. We were fortunate enough to get an entire houseboat to ourselves (1 couple) and spent two nights aboard, cruising along the backwaters. The staff aboard were amazing - all very friendly, accommodating and respectful of our privacy, and spoke English to a good level. The room was clean, well equipped and overnight AC was available in the rooms as well for a comfortable nights sleep. Compared to other houseboats I saw on the backwaters, ‘Why Not’ is unique in the upper decking area it provides with a focus on lots of comfortable seating, open sides for a comfortable breeze to pass through and two lounging areas that are open to the sky - ideal for sunbathing, reading, relaxing etc. Majority of other houseboats I saw did not have the same facilities (closed, covered areas with tables/chairs). We did a round trip along quiet routes staying at different locations along the backwaters each night, eventually returning to the starting point on the morning of checkout. Amazing way to see Kerala backwaters! The food was standout. A literal feast of local cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner, prepared on board and served to you on the upper decking whilst cruising along. We had some of the best seafood of the trip on the houseboat. Thank you for a wonderful, relaxing stay!

Very helpful crew. Nice boat with high end facilities.

The water for bathroom was salty. Felt a bit awkward.

Absolutely fantastic stay - staff were brilliant, food was delicious (and very accommodating for the vegetarians), option of early morning boat ride down the backwaters and massage were well worth it - staff went out of there way to make it a trip to remember for all of us, couldn’t recommend highly enough!

It was all brilliant
