Thanks to Uma chechi and Subhash cheta! Such a friendly place, excellent food, beautiful bamboo rooms, awesome shikkara boat and all in all a very good place to stay.. one suggestion - could arrange for hot water using gas heaters / small boilers etc., instead of heating water everytime using cooking gas, which takes a lot of time. A beautiful... More

Good location. The rooms are kept clean. The facilities are just average. Need some more facilties to upgrade the rooms. There is no hot water supply to rooms but in buckets. The batch room mat does not absorb water. The water taps require replacements. No bathroom mirror in the bamboo rooms on the first floor. The promoters are homely and... More

Stayed with family here. For booking etc. we interacted with Uma. We stayed only for a night and mainly used this place as a transit to houseboat. The visit to Alleppey is not complete if one does not stay on houseboat or at least take ride on it. We had booked the houseboat through Uma and got a good deal... More

Uma and Subash welcomed us with open hearts, a sense of humor, and big smiles... such friendly people! They made the atmosphere of the place homey and comfortable. We stayed in a bamboo room, which was beautiful and clean and opened out into a lovely common area. It had a typical Indian feel. Even though we only stayed for 2... More

I enjoyed staying at the Ashtamudi very much. I stayed there for two nights back in March. Considering the price (500Rs) the little room with a fan was a decent deal. It was clean and taken care of. The best thing about this place is the friendly atmosphere that Uma and her husband create in this little home rather than... More

We only spent a night at Ashtamudi but loved it very much. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful. When it came to river cruises or transport they knew exactly how to get us what we wanted and needed. We would definitely stay again if we found ourselves back in backwater country.

We had a lovely stay at Ashtamudi. The guest house is a close 1/2 block from the canal, but in a quiet residential area. We stayed in the upstairs rooms which are uniquely decorated in bamboo and seems like you are on a ricebarge. The family were so helpful and friendly organizing different outings for us. We enjoyed using their... More

The bamboo rooms at AshtaMudi are big and beautiful and really unique. You almost feel like you are staying in a village hut, not a hotel! The house is well-located, easy walking distance to the main town but hidden in a quiet lane. It did get noisy at night occasionally as there was a large common area outside the room,... More
