The breakfast was awesome as we preferred Kerela’s traditional food & it was so delicious & tasty. The location feels like a home & the owner along with his entire staff were so polite, hospitable & made us feel like we were in our own home. The rooms & bathrooms are hygiene in both homestay & houseboats. Even the captain & chef of the houseboat are so polite & hospitable that we didn’t even got a single thought that we came here for the first time. Really, they treat us like their own family. Thank you so much for this wonderful service which made a memorable moment to be remembered..!!

    Our group of 10 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mango Kerala Homes. Everything was perfect - the hosts, breakfast, lunch and dinner on the houseboat, location and view. We would definitely stay here again if visiting Kumarakom.

    I spent a very relaxing two nights on the houseboat, spending the first day travelling south and spending the night next to the rice paddy islands, then the second day returning along the other coastline. The food was consistently fantastic, with absolutely massive portions 😅

    The food was amazing. The chef is incredible - best food i have had in the whole India trip. Varied and delicious. Aircon in bedrooms and of an evening in the downstairs lounge, plus aircon in the dining room. Slept like a log. Wonderful relaxing backwater cruise. Highly recommend Grand Villa Houseboat.

    Great value for money and a view to die for. It's an experience bryond imagination to sit on the verandah and watch the house boats go by. Dibu the person in charge was helpful and Always available. He took care of all our needs however small. He even arranged for pick up And drop off right in front of our home stay by the house boat we had booked. Would visit again with family and friends And recommend a one night stay to all.

    We stayed overnight on the houseboat. The boat itself was very nice. The lounge dining area was particularly good, the bedroom was fine. I wasn’t sure how it would work being the only passengers, but I was relieved that it went well. The crew of three were very professional and helpful and they made it a very pleasurable experience. We particularly enjoyed the food prepared for us.
