Backwater Breeze

The staff and the location and the care taken by Ms. Jino and Madam Sheela for my 2 year old grand daughter. I highly recommend this property.

Simple and minimalist yet amazing place next to the backwaters.

Perfect place to escape busy and crowded city and enjoy quiet village atmosphere. Paradise for birdwatchers. Breakfast was good, and there are two restaurants nearby. I would recommend the nearest one (Lake N Cruise). The food is simple and cheap, and it's a perfect spot to enjoy magic sunsets at 6 pm. It is also easy to reach Kumarakom center and bird sanctuary (tuk-tuk 150 rupees one way). Early morning backwater boat ride for three hours though small canals was something special. And many thanks for sincere hospitality to the hosts, who were super friendly and helpful. Overall 10+!

Very good experiance

Very comfortable stay in a serene environment. Right on the backwater so plenty of activity to observe - local boats and house boats going past, as well as locals fishing on the bank. Host was very responsive - answered all my questions regarding getting to the accommodation, as well as arranged a shikara tour and auto for me.

Not a negative per se as I liked the remoteness of the stay. However only two restaurants within a few minutes walk away, and no juice or tea shops nearby. It’s 25+min walk to the main road to reach other restaurants, or can borrow bicycle from host (would not recommend riding in the dark though as road is not paved all the way).

Five weeks into my India trip, and I was looking for somewhere to slow down and take it easy - and Backwater Breeze proved to be perfect for this. It's a lovely place to fall into the rhythm of the Backwaters, watching the birds and the boats come and go. The owners are incredibly helpful, and the breakfasts tasty and substantial.

Nothing to not like.

If I could give this place 10 stars I would! The location and hospitality are tied for first place in my heart. They brought me fresh chai upon arrival, offered to let me borrow a bicycle to cycle around the canals, helped me to book a boat ride at sunrise, and provided me with the perfect place to unwind and relax. The AC is a wonderful bonus! I’ll be back. Thank you for the best time on the backwaters!

Beautiful location & balcony overlooking the backwater with life going by

Rooms are quite basic but clean & perfectly sufficient for a short stay
