Being to Kumarakom with my 4 year old was definitely an experience that I would never regret in my life. Especially Backwater Heritage Homestay! The most wonderful experience there is the hospitality of the Hosts there.

We stayed at this home stay coming in from munnar in March during the term break of my 6 year old daughter. We had booked this with Mr. Xavier in January and though we discussed an advance payment he told me we could pay on arrival. I was a bit apprehensive that he might not hold the booking without a...

The property,the courtesy,the moments all adds up to an amazing experience for the vacay. As with other homestays,the experience is more of playing Hosts and Guests.

My wife and I were fortunate enough to find the Backwater Heritage Homestay during our month in Kerala!!! Xavier and his wife are lovely hosts and the accommodation is more than comfortable. A wonderful feature is that the home is located ON THE BACKWATER so that our morning walks were scenic, peaceful, and convenient. Xavier went out of his way... More

Since it was a sort of random visit to KERALA , so we could hardly spend one day over this beautiful homestay... but i agree with >> ' QUALITY ALWAYS MATTERS ".. Within 24 hours , we could feel all the soothing relaxation within us, what was much needed. Amid the serene nature , n quiet environment we found the... More
