Knowledgable and friendly staff, delicious food, authentic exterior, modern interior, every little detail thought of like electric fly swatters to indoor flip flops in all sizes.

This was the boat trip of my dreams. A gorgeous boat with every facility you could wish for. The captain and cook were always on hand to offer what ever you required but at the same time never overbearing. The meals were utterly delicious and cooked fresh all day everyday by Jose. The constant beauty of the backwaters navigated by Joseph, the captain, was the icing on the cake. Finally I must add that all correspondence with the owner was responded to extremely quickly and efficiently.

The houseboat itself was great (and the food some of the best I've had in Kerala), but the trip down the small canals of the backwater is what made the trip so special.

It was super clean and had fantastic facilities! The food was incredible and fresh and I felt like they thought of everything for a comfortable experience.

Nothing it was all really good!

My partner and I had an incredible 2 night stay with Kalappura Houseboats. Everything was arranged seamlessly via Antony on WhatsApp, including transfers to and from the boat - which involved a long drive from our previous location. We had a private 1 bedroom houseboat which was beyond our expectations, it has all the modern amenities including WiFi, hot water and drinking water. Jose welcomed us and explained everything and the boat crew (Joseph and Jalan) were available throughout the trip for anything we needed. All meals provided were excellent and they will cook up fresh fish/shellfish if you want to purchase this from one of the canal side stores. We would definitely recommend the sunrise country boat tour where you are taken around some of the smaller canals which the houseboats can’t go down.

We had the best stay on the boat! Jose and his team made sure at all times that we had everything we needed at all times and paid attention to all the details. All meals were cooked freshly on board and were from the locals cuisine, which we really enjoyed. In the morning we went on the village tour and we were pretty much the only people. During other parts of the tour we saw many other houseboats. In comparison ours was one of the more luxurious and nicer looking ones. I would definitely recommend the stay on the boat!

We had a amazing time! The food was good and the room super spacious and clean.

We could not be any happier with the Houseboat experience, everything was flawless, Jose the kindest host, we enjoyed the tranquility, sunset and sunrise, birdwatching and the amazing staff and food onboard. Highly recommended!
