Guest Reviews

• SHANMUGAM (8/5): -
• anoop (10/5): -
• Max (10/5): A beautiful stay in a beautiful location. Better than a lot of 5* hotels. - We LOVED our stay at Purity. It's in an amazing location and has beautiful grounds. We arrived to eagles and cormorants diving, but otters in the water ...magical. We took a couple of boat rides (the included kayak trip was lovely) and would definitely recommend them. The food is insanely good. It is a dry hotel, but don't let that put you off - you can bring your own or send out the staff to get something. They just ask that you drink it in your room or on your balcony and not in the communal areas. The staff were all wonderful so a big thank you in particular to Mary, Ayra, Vishnu and Suresh! Please replace your pool towels! :)
• Fowler (10/5): Amazing heavenly place to stay which exceeded expectations - The friendliness of the staff and the quality of the food. Not a lot, other than maybe ensuring visitors know that the hotel does not have an alcohol licence.
• Siju (9/5): -
• christophe (10/5): - Très bel établissement. Raffinement et quiétude au bord du lac. Idéal pour une décompression totale. Très bonne cuisine également.
• Joanne (7/5): - Mary at reception was amazing Pool and pool area not clean. Never saw tables being cleaned during stay
• Gordon (3/5): PURITY - Excellent food. Overall condition, needs a regular building maintenance schedule. From the toilet window of room 12 a large pile of hotel rubbish was in sight. Not value for money.
• Thiago (8/5): - The staff and food are really amazing The price is very high for what it offers, and with food and activities the bill goes up quickly
• Mark (9/5): Beautiful, relaxing hotel in a lovely location. - Beautiful hotel in a lovely location. Excellent food and friendly staff. Nothing
• Gill (10/5): Wonderful hotel in stunning location with wonderful staff - Perfect setting on a quiet part of the lake with absolutely stunning views. It was exactly what was needed after the hustle and bustle of northern India. The staff were amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. They made the hotel so special. At around 4.30 they came round to take our order for high tea. Wonderful!!Thank you to them all. Hotel doesn’t have an alcohol license but this isn’t unusual for Kerala. Not a problem as we walked into town (about 15 mins) to a place which sold wine and got a tuk tuk back. Was nice to be able to have a glass of wine on our balcony before dinner.
• Frank (10/5): A place we’ll work visiting again and again - Our second visit and Purity was as enchanting as before. Serene setting, great hospitality, beautiful rooms and a very interesting art collection as well as nice food The pool area felt a bit neglected and would benefit from attention
• John (10/5): -
• Hugh (9/5): -
• Joost (10/5): An Unforgettable Ode to Indian Hospitality and Cuisine - The location, views, garden, and surroundings are absolutely stunning—you never tire of gazing out over the backwaters. The staff and service are exceptional; special thanks to Mary, Arya, Suresh, and the entire team for their genuine warmth and care. And above all: the food is truly unforgettable. The chef is outstanding. We consistently chose the Indian dishes and the changing suggestions—be sure to ask for the daily recommendations. Each dish is beautifully refined and perfectly seasoned. A true celebration of Indian cuisine and heartfelt hospitality.
• Jim (8/5): -
• Bobby (5/5): -
• Vera (4/5): Ok - Location There is a contruction site next to it, it felt run down all around and the pool was not very clean
• Richard (10/5): Six star end to our India adventure - An absolute delight. From the second we walked in, our stay at Purity was magical. Marvellous rooms. Glorious garden. Swimming pool with a view over Kerala's largest lake. Fabulous food. Delicious drinks. And superb service. Add in morning yoga and an evening canoe trip with a local Chinese-net fisherman and Purity is far more than the sum of its (wonderful) parts. The perfect oasis to relax at the end of an amazing three weeks in India. Nothing. Honestly. It was spot on in every way.
• Jignesh (8/5): Good and different experience - Amaaaazing location. Food and staff all good. No locks in bathrooms or toilets in the room. You hear noise if someone is having showers only thin curtains for showers .
• Tarek Hakim (9/5): -
• Jasmin (10/5): Toller Aufenthalt in einem wunderschönem Hotel - Das Hotel war unglaublich geschmackvoll eingerichtet, eine wunderschöne Kombination aus landestypischen und modernen Elementen. Sehr großzügige und luxuriöse Zimmer. Die Lage des Hotels ist traumhaft am Vembanad See mit Blick auf das Wasser. Toller Gartenbereich mit vielen Sitzbereichen und Liegemöglichkeiten am Pool. Das Personal war ganz besonders freundlich und zuvorkommend. Sehr bemüht den Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich zu gestalten. Am Silvesterabend, den wir im Hotel verbracht haben , gab es Vorführungen von indischem Tanz und Tabla. Nichts
• Adam (10/5): -
• Shubham (10/5): Peace - Instant Customer service, cleanliness, serene environment, helpful behaviour, very welcoming, variety of activities Water faucets were not working properly in the toilets.
• Zoe (9/5): -
• tamar (10/5): - Beautiful designs, wonderful haven Architecture, interior design, large rooms, views, food, staff, EVERYTHING
• yael (10/5): Wonderful place - Everything None
• Anne (8/5): - Emplacement au calme, loin de la ville. Approprié pour flâner dans les backwaters mais éloigné de zones d'activité. Cuisine excellente dans l'établissement Les draps n'étaient pas immaculés (taches résiduelles anciennes). Peu d'activités proches, notamment pas de restaurants dans les environs
• Pierre (9/5): Aanrader - Zeer mooi hotel. Niet te groot. Prachtig gelegen. Goede keuken en zeer vriendelijk personeel. Kortom prima hotel om onze laatste dagen in India door te brengen.
• David (9/5): Beautiful place, quiet, lovely rooms and outstanding food - Location, surroundings and facilities are excellent. We loved just sitting outside watching the lake, but our suite was huge and very comfortable if we wanted to be inside for a while. There’s little very close apart from a lovely beach for sunsets around 5 miles away but that’s what we wanted - quiet and peaceful. The staff are lovely and make sure you feel welcome and happy, and will detail and organise boat trips, etc. Last but definitely not least, the food is outstanding with subtle interesting flavours with some fresh takes on traditional Keralan dishes. We loved it.
• Helen (10/5): Girls trip to Kerala - Staff were super friendly and helpful The room was beautiful and spacious and was set in nice grounds It was a little out of town, but could easily get a taxi in
• Anoop (2/5): -
• Annik (10/5): - Very nice garden und great design of the rooms. Very clean and very friendly staff. We enjoyed so e very relaxing days. Yoga in the morning was also bvery nice. Good breakfast and nice snacks in the afternoon.
• Robyn (9/5): -
• Matt (10/5): Fantastic stay in secluded property - pure serenity in southern India. - Calming energy. Comfortable and stylish. Na
• Tarek Hakim (9/5): -
• Prudence (9/5): - A beautiful property in a lovely setting. The staff were lovely and the food was good both for lunch and breakfast. Pity about the instant coffee for breakfast in a property of this standard.
• Thattil (10/5): -
• Bev (10/5): Pure relaxation in serene surroundings - Wonderful end to a wedding trip to India. Purity is total relaxation wonderful spa retreat on edge of lake. No dislikes.
• DE TOMMASO (9/5): - Beautiful experience 💚🤗
• Kartick (10/5): Lovely stay - Massive rooms and bathroom. Architecture is very different from what I'm used to. felt very quaint yet luxurious. Probably the friendliest staff I've ever met. They made our stay truly memorable. Spa, canoe ride, yoga, food, they were all exceptional. Views are amazing. The room is massive, and air conditioning from the living space doesn't reach the bed.
• Mathew (10/5): -
• Ammash (7/5): - Location Nature Staff Noise guests groups Mosquito Main entrance
• Aleena (10/5): -
• Jesslyn (10/5): Bliss! - Purity is in an exceptional location; it's a true paradise on the edge of Lake Vembanad. The building is full of understated charm with an understated and thoughtful design aesthetic that appeals to all the senses. The team work incredibly well together, were warm-hearted, nothing was too much trouble and worked very efficiently to organise everything that we asked for with great attention to detail. We felt genuinely cared about by all the staff including but not limited to Mary, Sarath, Arya, Ajikumur and Vishnu. Everyone took great pride in doing an excellent job with good humour to make their guests’ stay a memorable one. The food here is wholesome and delicious and the rooms immaculately maintained by excellent housekeeping staff. Each room has a unique character with spectacular views over the lake. If you have the chance to go, you should. A memorable and delightful stay. Nothing. It was perfect.
• Suzy (9/5): -
• Engler (10/5): - Das Personal war fantastisch, hilfsbereiter geht nicht. Wunderschöner Ort, sehr schön gelegen. Ruhig und absolut sauber. Essen von top Qualität, reichlich Auswahl und individuell auf den Geschmack abgestimmt. Frühstück mehr als genug. Fischen möglich, saubere Pools und einfach nur top. Danke Nichts
• Justine (10/5): A beautiful spot. - Everything, amazingly beautiful property, fabulous interior design, wonderful service from the staff and great food. We also went to the beach at madurai one afternoon which was close by and a beach you don’t want to miss. The only thing we could fault is that they don’t have a bar. And sometimes you just really want a beer. But the lovely staff did offer to go to the village and purchase some for us.
• Girish (9/5): Superb -
• Coerulea (10/5): Exceptional - Everything! The beautifully designed rooms, the location, the serene atmosphere. The staff were wonderful too, very accommodating and helpful. We were given packed breakfast because we left before breakfast opened on the day we checked out. Every consideration was shown to our parents who travelled with us, serving food in the room veranda because our mom could not walk with ease to arranging for massage in the room, to helping us fit in our activities within our limited time. We had a wonderful stay! The approach to the place is rather narrow and winding, difficult for large vehicles but it's manageable
• Ra (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jobin (8/5): Very good - Excellent location , Ambience excellent , especially evening time after the light's are ON , Food didn't meet expectation as there was not enough options on the menu Choice of food dishes on the menu are very less
• Siri (10/5): Exceptional - Everything in this stay was excellent! All from the property itself, the room, food and staff.
• Michael (9/5): Perfect relaxing stay - Location/ staff/ food/service Nothing to note
• Anonymous (10/5): A very special place! - What a beautiful, tranquil place. Our room was large with a huge balcony and very comfortable, and the garden and pool are immaculately maintained. Food is wonderful - gorgeous breakfasts, fresh local fish and excellent for vegetarians too. Chef Sahal made a wonderful tasting menu on our last night. We did some sightseeing organised by Mary, and enjoyed fabulous Ayurvedic treatments. The welcome and care from staff was exceptional: thank you Arya,, Suresh and all the team! Purity is very special and we're so glad we chose it. We loved everything! It is a quiet place but you can go easily to Allepey and Fort Kochi by taxi for days out.
• Helena (10/5): Amazing place location and staff - Everything Nothing
• Barry (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kerry (10/5): Serene, glorious , so so peaceful - Serene and restful location. Absolutely stunning 🤩 Nothing
• Sonia (8/5): Very good -
• Peter (10/5): Exceptional -
• Andrew (10/5): Stunningly beautiful place - Peace and seclusion
• Sam (10/5): Beautiful setting, fantastic staff - Stunning location, a beautiful serene break from the hustle and bustle of India. The staff were so warm and attentive - special mention to Mary on the front desk who greeted us on arrival and helped us throughout our stay and Sarath who worked tirelessly managing the restaurant - they are a credit to the hotel. Thank you! The staff did a great job of what they had to cater for vegans but perhaps senior management could consider extending options (e.g. soya milk). This did not adversely affect our stay due to the excellent improvisation of Sarath!
• Oliver (10/5): Magical oasis of calm directly onto the lake - Tranquility
• Isabel (10/5): The hotel is an oasis of calm in a very beautiful setting. The hotel is very chic in terms of decor and the rooms are sp - The hotel is very chic and in a beautiful location.
• Amber (10/5): If you come to Southern India / Kerala, you must come here. Far better than houseboat experience. - Enchanting location, very calm and peaceful with beautiful views of Vembanad lake. The hotel is a work of art - a church creatively renovated with stunning modern design contrasted by historical artefacts and paintings. The breakfast and dinner was great and the staff were incredibly helpful - waiting up until 1am for our late arrival and upgrading our room. The boat ride to the other side of the lake and the narrow backwaters was well worth the money - the driver founds us lots of bird and wiildlife to photograph (kingfishers, an otter etc). Nothing really.
• Carolina (10/5): Wonderful! - Everything! The staff was incredibly sweet and attentive. The restaurant was beautiful and the food was super tasty. The rooms were large, beautiful, clean and comfortable. The resort area in front of the lake was breathtaking. We had a wonderful 90 min massage, plus morning yoga sessions, and they also organized a boat tour and a taxi for us. Additionally the new year's eve dinner and entertainment was spectacular! Nothing
• Pascal (9/5): If Kearala is God's own country, Purity@lake Vembanad is God's own retreat ! - If Kearala is God's own country, Purity@lake Vembanad is God's own retreat ! We spent 2 nights 3 days and we definitely will come back ! The staff was so sweet and accomodating, We had complementary one yoga session, one canoe tour with the sweetest fisherman (he took time to take us to his fish net and show us how it operates) and everyday a "gouter" in the afternoon. The chef was really very professional and nice (I had one of the best biryani in my life!) Everywhere you set your eyes in the hotel it is only beautiful things, decor and art. Massage was lovely. End your trip in Kerala with Purity is the best treat you can give yourself ! Nothing much really
• Reem (10/5): Exceptional - Every thing
• Ilaria (10/5): Exceptional - Service, staff, food Pool might have been more cleaned
• Ranjith (5/5): Passable -
• Nille (10/5): Exceptional -
• Cecilia (9/5): Peaceful and cute accommodation - Great location, great property with amazing art throughout, spacious rooms and tranquility There could be more sport like activities and food was OK
• İdil (9/5): Amazing Hotel - We really enjoyed our stay. I love how art was integrated into the hotel. Amazing food. Both breakfast and dinner were amazing. Everyone is very helpful. People are friendly and caring. So many activities to attend and the hotel arranges everything for you. We did a houseboat tour, which was also a very good experience. The water wasn’t running hot. We were told to wait 15minutes. The taxes of spendings are never included, which was unusual and unexpected for us. Cold drinks are never really cold. No bottled still water available.
• Giles (9/5): Superb -
• Evans (10/5): A really pleasurable stay - Beautiful lakeside setting with top notch rooms, excellent food and the friendliest staff. We chose to extend our stay.
• Karan (10/5): Extremely good service. - This property is straight out of a heaven, it was a perfect stay . One stormy afternoon we were stuck due to flight cancellations and we wanted to stay some where and then we found purity . Original plan was to stay only two nights till flight service resumes but the place was so good that we extended for another 3 nights . Big shout out to Manager Mr Sujith , reception representative Mary and chef Mr Lijo they made us feel like king and queen during our stay at purity. The food and service is one of the best India , and we travel a lot.
• Judi (6/5): probably would not recommend, although the accommodation is good enjoyed the yoga - breakfast was ok, but nothing flash, certainly not overly generous, borrowed a couple of old bikes, but you do need transport when staying at this location , wifi was good, issues with drinking water in room, bottled water was then supplied
• Abhilash (10/5): We recently embarked on a perfect escape at this extraordinary hotel, where every aspect exceeded our expectations. The - the location
• Gaurav (6/5): Good but not value for money. Both food and room are way too expensive for what they offer. - There is only one location for dining in the hotel. Breakfast was warm and made fresh Range of choices were very poor
• Verified traveler (10/5): Perfect spot from which to explore the backwaters - A fantastic spot from which to explore the Kerala backwaters. The hotel organised a half-day Sikkara boat tour and for the remainder of our (too short) stay we relaxed by the pool and dined on the beach. Recommended!
• Byron (10/5): Beautiful Little Gem - We thoroughly enjoyed the kind welcome and relaxing atmosphere in the resort.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Lovely spot but ruined by constant cawing of crows
• Jeanne (6/5): Gem that needs polishing - Perfectly situated on the Lake Vembanad banks, with a rimflow swimmingpool & view in which you can get lost for days, & great selection of local dishes The manger & staff are very friendly, but the service has much room for improvement & lacks quality, speed & attentiveness Even though booking the suite for 4 nights we were placed in room 15 for the first 2 nights: the original bedroom of the old homestead with mildew walls, rising damp issues, old bathroom (chipped, stained bath), limescale crusted glass sink. Also the only room without an outside area overlooking the lake. We requested to be moved to Room 1, as per our booking (the best room on the property, with the lake less than 2 meters away) Pool towels are old, tatty & stained 28 guests, but ony 12 loungers ans towels When ordering food & beverages outside mealtimes, expect to wait up to 45 minutes for something basic like soda Spa is right next to the Kitchen, which is always noisy & thus makes it hard to relax during the lovely ayurveda treatments. When bringing this under the manager's attention, his response was that this has been the complaint of numerous guests, but the owners are not planning on rectifying the sutuation Certainly not the quality / service you expect from a 5-star, Relais & Chateau hotel. A gem of a hotel in terms of views and scope for relaxation, but needs some serious polishing
• Nicholas (10/5): Perfect Hotel - A wonderful Hotel, as its name Purity, nothing too much for the staff. We had a issue with our original room, and they were quick to sort the problem out. Highly recommended
