“Great houseboat experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 February 2012

We stayed at the houseboat for a 24 hours trip and truly enjoyed it! I can highly recommend doing this trip to see the beautiful nature, rice plantations and villages along the backwaters. Service and friendliness of staff on the boat and of Binu was impeccable. Also, the food was delicious and portions were huge. The boat was 100% clean, with very comfortable seating and great enough space for 4 people. In hindsight, I wish we even had stayed longer!!!

“Our honeymoon trip at the houseboat in Allappey”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

The trip was great and so was Binu Joseph and all the staff! Very good service and a perfect choice for honeymooners. The houseboat was luxurious and very comfortable for a couple. The staff were very friendly and hospitable and were accommodative. We had an awesome time and we highly recommend everyone to chose this service.

“An home away from home - Allapuzha”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

Our recent visit to allepey was really stunning and made us unforgettable too.. this was made by our lovable friend Binu who orgainsed the trip as per our suggestions.. This trip was accompanied by my dad and his friends.. The trip made us feel an home away from the home.. though we have visited many times a year, this time we had a pleasant remarkable and lovable stay.. the hospitality and services provided by the team members in the houseboat can be ranked as excellent.. we then decided to make our plans in future by joining hands with Binu.. It was him who made all arrangements and was quite caring in our moves and activities from the start till end.. we had a chance to taste duck, which we have not done before.. the choice of food was mostly our decisions.. the preparations and food services was really good and nice.. the natural scenario behind the backwaters of allepey was pretty good looking.. kerala Canoe Tourism can be highly recommended for a peaceful stay at house boat.. we really missed Binu a lot after reaching home.. our next plans are out and making out instances during may 2012.. friends do not miss this chance of enjoyment.. really worthy and good time going of relaxation..

“A memorable experience....!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012

Me and my friends had a get together in a houseboat right at the middle of the backwater beauty of allepey. The service provided was really amazing and caring. Special thanks to binu for making the arrangements tidy and speedy. The treatment we got from the staff was really homely. Food was rocking, rooms were all very clean. To be frank it was one memorable experience. Thanks to binu and support staffs for making the journey very pleasant.

“Excellent - cannot fault this - Thankyou Binu”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2012

From the initial planning in the UK to coming off the boat this was a seamless process facilitated by the superb Binu - Thanks Binu!

We were travelling from Cochin and a taxi was arranged by Binu to take us from the hotel over to the houseboat port in Alleppey.

When we got to the boatyard we were loving the style of the boats and had a 2 day trip on the back waters.

Not to go into it too deeply, but the staff on the boat and captain were attentive and looked after us (they even went to the shop to get us some supplies of gin - which was nice) the whole journey was a beautiful experience and something i'd recommend to anyone.

I would also recommend Kerala canoe tourism to anyone wanting a hassle free, excellent trip on the backwaters.

Thanks again
