Thara's Houseboat, hotel in Alleppey

Offering lake views, Thara's Houseboat is an accommodation situated in Alleppey, 1.3 km from Mullakkal Rajarajeswari Temple and 3.7 km from Alleppey Lighthouse.

Wonderful, albeit too short stay on this lovely traditional houseboat. The food was amazing with a great variety of veg and fish and the team were fantastic, particularly Saji. It was very relaxing cruising slowly around the backwaters and we enjoyed a short guided walk at the end of the day once we'd moored up. Much thought had been put in to ensure guests are comfortable and we certainly were.

Aqua Castle Houseboat - by Aqua Jumbo Houseboats, hotel in Alleppey

Floating on the backwaters of Alleppey and Vembanad, Aqua Castle Houseboat ( by Aqua Jumbo Houseboats ) features a 24-hour front desk to assist guests at all hours.

The boat was stunning - larger than previously expected, we had space to lounge and relax on the deck area. The route was lovely - we cruised the backwaters at perfect pace for 2 days, it didn’t feel rushed, and we found great spots to watch sunset and sunrise. The crew were friendly and helpful in organising activities including massages, small boat tours, and checking out a fish market The food was really great - some if the best we had in Kerala

    The location was great, close to the backwaters and where the houseboats dock. The owners and staff etc were so welcoming and friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. They helped us book a houseboat stay at a good price which was great. The breakfast was yummy and loads of food! Free tea and coffee all day. Room was clean and comfortable. Highly recommend!

    Tried to accommodate needs of western family - one not spicy dish especially for us at dinner. Good value - one of the cheapest house boats we found and was still good. Provided a little more a/c than was promised. Fairly clean. A good trip. Optional extras like short canoe trip to village available. Helped with onward plans - kayaking.

    Not too much detail here, as arrived late afternoon and departed for a houseboat stay the next morning. We saw on here that people felt that the short canoe ride required to get to the property was a negative, but it added fun to the trip for us. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Breakfast delivered to our veranda outside room was ample. Room wasn't huge, but worked for the one night we needed it for. Lovely spot on the river.
