“Awesome Experience!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012

people found this review helpful

Our family of 6 spent a night in December 2011 on a 2-bedroom houseboat operated by Coco Houseboats and I must thank the team for making our backwaters trip absolutely awesome and pleasurable.

Traveling the backwaters of Kerala on a houseboat was certainly a highly relaxing and enjoyable experience. Coco Houseboats had arranged for excellent accommodation and had done up our rooms and beds very well. The rooms were clean with comfortable beds and large windows that gave unobstructed views of the surrounding scenery. Our on-board crew was very hospitable and took care of us in a very kind and homely manner. The food was truly exceptional. Our family is a mix of vegetarians and non-vegetarians, so the chef ensured that there was enough variety for both.

Coco Houseboats is the perfect example of how a Customer should be treated. My family is grateful for the beautiful holiday you gave us. :) I would highly recommend Coco Houseboats if you plan a trip to the peaceful backwaters of what is truly God's own country.

“Very relaxing”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 December 2011

We spent one night on the boat. The trip was very relaxing, the stuff was professional and very kind. The food was delicious (vegetarian) and the boat was clean, especially toilet.
The 'Coco taxi' waited for us at the Kochin airport and it was easy to come to right place.
We recommend this agency and this trip if you like a peaceful journey.

“Clean boat, professional staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 December 2011

people found this review helpful

Spent a night on the house boat (with 3 bedrooms). The boat itself was well maintained and the rooms adequate. Wish the common area had more comfortable chairs. Food was excellent, and the staff very professional. The particular boat that we were on had the insect net in the common area torn, so, had to pull down the heavier rain protector covers on in the evening to keep the insects out. We missed out on the moonlit night views because of this :( Also, the AC in the rooms were on full blast with no way of turning up the temperature at night. We went from sweating outside to shivering in the AC cold at night.

“Good but not perfect”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 December 2011

people found this review helpful

The way to the boat goes thru a mud path and the pick up after the tour is not organized. These things have to be changed when they take 100 € for one night. The boat was good, the crew friendly and the food typical but not special. All in all it's a 3.5 and could get easy a 4. But the price is still high. For 2 nights on the boat (and you have to make 2 nights if you want a relaxing trip) you could also stay for a week in a nice hotel on the beach including food.

This was the first time me visting Alleppey and wanted to go for houseboats for long time. I juts browsed the net and booked this boat house without consulting anyone. On the day we landed Alleppey it was Hartal (Bandh,strike). But still Mr.Switen George managed to pick us from the railway station in a safe way and we reached the office. We were received well by Mr.Switen and he gave the instructions very well too. We were then dropped in the boat house and it was great to see our boat well furnished. The boat house was so neat and clean and we had 3 people with us (2 cooks and 1 driver). They were so friendly and socialising with the localites was really amazing. We enjoyed the 1 night trip and the sea food. The dishes made were tasty and kerela style. I enjoyed the trip and so did my friends too. Thanks to Switen chetta who made this alleppey boat house trip memorable. I would recommend this boat house company to anyone.
