Everything about this experience was perfect! My friend had gone on a houseboat with a different company a few weeks earlier and had warned me about the mediocre experience. So I was really nervous about spending the money and the time to do the backwater cruise, but we had already paid for it. It turned out to be one of... More

What a wonderful experience aboard this houseboat. The staff (3 men) onboard were attentive without being intrusive. The rooms (we had the 3 bedroom) was airconditioned and clean. It has a large window providing nice views of the riverbanks if you prefer to lay in bed. The one complain I have is the toilet smelled of sewage (maybe inherent of... More

Brilliant experience. Staff and food incredible. The boat was immaculately clean although some peeling wallpaper in the bedroom. The cruise was lovely and the short canoe trip on the narrow canals came inclusive of price. You do it with the passengers from other boats which seemed to put some people off but its worth it. My wife wasn't convinced re... More

Had a one night stay on the houseboat and it was very good. We were welcomed at the offices of River Escapes with a coconut drink and someone explained where we would be cruising. We were then taken to the boat and introduced to the Crew. The bedroom was very clean, the food was good, the scenery was amazing and... More

We did a houseboat overnight trip and really enjoyed it. The boat was immaculate and we were amazed that the rooms were better than some hotel rooms. The food was amazing and there was so much. We stopped to buy prawns and they were like mini lobsters they were so big (although quite expebsive) and the chef prepared them with... More

*would have given 4.5 if able to* We arrived at the River Escapes boat yard a little late but found our house boat for the night (Manimalayar) and her crew waiting for us patiently. We were welcomed on board and were delighted with our boat. We had a six berth boat just for 2 of us. Room was basic but... More

We loved our one night stay on the houseboat. We had a 3 bedroom boat between four of us. The rooms were very comfortable and clean and the en-suite bathroom was adequate for our needs. The air con worked efficiently and the fans were an added bonus when it was turned off. We spent most of our time outside enjoying... More

As we were walking along the warf we passed a lot of other boats. I looked in them and thought, "Goodness, I hope we are not getting on something like that". I breathed a deep sigh of relief when we stepped on our boat - it was beautiful - a little oasis for two. It was just wonderful drifting down... More

We spent a day and a night there. THe boat was not good... Not clean... TV not working properly.. At night, there were a lot of mosquito... Eventually, we did have our dinner on our bed as there was air conditioning only in our room. The only good things - the captain and chef were very polite - the food... More
