We stayed here for two nights, on either side of our houseboat trip from Allepey. Our family, with two young boys, stayed in aircon bungalows by the lakeside and it was beautiful to wake in the morning and swim with insect skimming the water above your head . As another reviewer has said, the lake it is set on is... More

lovely place facing the Lake. The property is right on the waterfront & the delux rooms facing the lake were excellent. We had booked a non ac lake facing delux room but were given a lake facing ac standard room instead which was not as good as the delux rooms. our standard room was small and the bathroom was not...

Was there during the first week of October. The rooms are clean and the staff friendly. Not much facilities apart from the private walk to the lake bed, Hammock to relax and few indoor games. Food is ok and little priced higher for the quality. Best place to relax -less disturbance. Staff is very friendly, especially the manager (Anoop) who... More

Stayed with family and must say it was a peaceful and comfortable one. Its best not to leave doors open in the nights to prevent mosquito bites. The gardens are maintained well, but could have done with some playground stuff for the children etc. I must say that the food was very pricey (e.g. egg curry Rs 90) for this... More

“Romantic, eco-friendly with superb service” This has got to be one of the most wonderful experiences of our stay in Kumarakom . The rooms were amazing and the food was fantastic. The best thing was the location which looked over the spectacular backwaters and was very relaxing especially with the hammocks. Interesting short tour of the farm and evening sunset... More

Great location and excellent value compared with other lakeside hotels. This resort on the banks of Kumarakom Lake is a beautiful place to stay and especially when you visit with your family. We stayed there for two days. The staff are very helpful. The rooms were nice and clean. It's a great lower cost alternative to the glitzy resorts nearby.... More

They say you can't be both a good man and a good businessman in India. The owners here are good businesspeople. We were given one price via email, and another price when we arrived. When lunch was too small to even be called an appetizer, we went to the owners and complained. We had a huge conflict unnecessarily, until they... More
