Lovely small homestay run by a wonderful family, who took care of my every need (and more) as a solo female traveler. Walking distance to the bird sanctuary (a little dilapidated but worth it for the stork colony) and the lakeshore, and perfect location for walking or cycling along various canals (bikes and directions provided for free). Room was comfortable and well equipped. Breakfasts were fabulous too, as well as conversations with the hosts, who built this charming "wooden castle" as a labor of love. Highly recommended!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Backwater Brooks in Kumarakom, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. The staff were extremely cooperative, ensuring our comfort at every step. The resort's lakeside view was stunning, offering a serene backdrop to our stay. The facilities were top-notch, enhancing our overall enjoyment. I highly recommend Backwater Brooks for a peaceful getaway amidst nature's beauty.

Are we in paradise or Eden? We can imagine looking on to the waters a world without humankind other than an occasional fishing boat passing by. We turn our backs and look towards the resort designed in a U shape with an excellent integration of traditional crafted architecture.

The property is in a beautiful location overlooking the backwaters. Clean and spacious home with everything you need. The owner and her family are especially lovely, her youngest daughter even taught us how to catch a fish in the river. The owner can organise any tours or boat rides you want. River fish is caught in the evening and served for dinner with delicious accompaniments. Breakfast is also very good.

Clean and authentic appearance. The crew and meals were excellent. Lunch, Dinner, Breakfast all drinks and snacks were included. The host was fantastic at communicating and facilitating a taxi drop off and pick up to/from different towns. The location is much better than the hustle and bustle of Alleppey which is really overcrowded and the views over developed. Can not recommend enough

The evening shikara ride was great for our group and was at the right price point - 2000 rupees for 2 hours for 2 families. The bird sanctuary was a big disappointment as there is not much to see and the facilities are also very poor - of the two bird watching towers one is damaged and other does not have a great view. Not many species of birds could be seen or heard, its more of a nature walk than a bird sanctuary.

As soon as we arrived it felt like Paradise.
As soon as we arrived it felt like Paradise. As the gates shut the noise and hustle bustle of an Indian town were left outside.
The beautiful old buildings in heritage style, lovely garden with trees and the only sound that of birdsong. It didn’t end there. All the staff from Vaisakh the Manager, Amal the Chef, the lady helping in the kitchen and the lady constantly sweeping the floors and working in the garden were helpful, courteous and always had a cheerful smile. The two men were happy to enter into conversations with us when they were not busy. They also responded immediately when asked for anything.
The food was delicious and well cooked but they found it amusing that we couldn’t handle the chillis in some of the dishes.
The pool was clean and cool and very welcoming in the heat.
We spent a very happy and relaxing week at Brookside Heritage Resort and it was the best place to start our Kerala adventure after a long and arduous journey from the UK. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. We will definitely be back.

We stayed in a property that gave us half-board meals (dinner and breakfast) and had in-house activities such as a sunset boat cruise and an evening cultural show. All this reinforced the kerala theme and made for a wonderful experience.

The backwaters are unique with water lilies and a wide variety of birds that can be viewed in a Shikara at dawn. A houseboat to spend the day and enjoy local cuisine served using fresh fish caught and sold by fisherwomen on the banks is a fabulous experience.

Kumarakom is a lovely back water locality, away from the hustle bustle of the city. Its a relaxing environment where you can disconnect from the busy world outside and yet if you need to get back to it, it's just nearby.
Low quality build with little attention to detail.
Swimming pool was bug ridden and with exposed wiring.
Sun loungers were limited and felt like this hotel should be a lot better from the listing, and for the high cost we paid.
Had much better accommodation for half the cost of this place.
The bar is hidden in a sweaty dark room, not good for a social drink. No refreshments available, water provided in rooms.
Food was lovely.
Good location and friendly staff let down by the poor quality accommodation.
"The location was fantastic ! We loved the staff,who we're very good right from the start, right until we checked out.The place is very peaceful.. Especially the price for the rooms are very low..So I like to suggest this property to all who need budget friendly cottages & rooms..Also the location of the hotel situated right on the heart of the kumarakom villege.. boating, Bird sanctuary all entertainment very close to this property..Thank all for ur great hospitality
Breakfast spread was just fabulous. Location is 10 out of 10. Fabulous surroundings. View of Vembanad lake from our room was indeed breathtaking. A must visit resort while in Kerala with family. Didn't want to leave the resort. very friendly staff, great food, beautiful landscaping throughout. Our room was lake view room on the first floor and it was just amazing. Room size was also very good.
This is a beautiful resort, completely within the pristine nature of Kumarakom. A lovely heritage resort this one. The staffs are so good. Anil l, the caretaker took every means to make us comfortable. The owner, Binu is also a very nice person. They took anazing care of us. And most importantly, the food. The food is very tasty and completely homely. Overall, the stay was amazing
The food was exceptional and great value for money. The lodge was also very clean and great for viewing the lakes animal activities especially in Lake View 5 lodge.
All staff were very helpful and soo welcoming!
The afternoon snacks and drink are a nice touch 👌
The whole place is very quite and relaxing
Great place to stay at in Kumarakom. Staff are friendly and kind. Rooms were clean and well serviced. Breakfast was great and included freshly watermelon juice which was lovely. Very reasonable prices, and cleanliness better than some 5 star hotels we’ve stayed at! Highly recommend.
One of the most beautiful properties I have ever been to. The best thing about this place is that they have kept the charm of this place intact with trying to over commercialize and that is brilliant. And staff was exceptionally good! We felt extremely welcomed for our entire stay!
location was very good that it was literally on the lake, had a wonderful speedboat ride that we hired for two hours. the ride was into the lake and went as far as the alleppey backwaters. it was really the best part of the stay.
We stayed in one of the two Presidential suites. We loved having our own private swimming pool. The hotel grounds are lovely. Breakfast was good as was dinner in the Seafood restaurant.
The boat was clean and comfortable. the staff was helpful and courteous. they even picked us up from the hotel we were staying at the previous night. loved the food that was served.
We had a great time and one of our memorable time..The main attraction was lake and boating...Also food was very good and tasty....Would recommend others as well .
Well maintained traditional house with friendly staff. Very neat (especially the pool) and comfortable. The best place I stayed at Kumarakom in this budget.
