Divya and her lovely family especially Minakshi her daughter really gave us true feeling of family homestay, showed us the nearby neighborhood, cooked us the best food we ate in Kerala and helped us in every possible way. We learned a lot on the place and its people.
Thanks so much, Divya and family.

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 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.
My wife Leigh and I had a wonderful few days at Mango Kerala Homestay during our honeymoon. Divya, Dilip and their lovely daughters were superb hosts, welcoming, friendly and helpful - a true Homestay experience. The food was so tasty, South Indian, varied and delicious. We did have a meal at the Taj hotel nearby but the food wasn't as good! Our room (with a balcony overlooking the backwaters) and the entire home was clean and such a lovely place to spend time. The family also have a luxury houseboat where we hope to stay next time!
The stay was fantastic. We all loved the ambience and the facilities of the resort. The staffs were polite and helpful. The view from the pool and restaurant were brilliant. The staff who were assisting us in the pool was very helpful. The activities including fishing, cycling and kids play area were all up to the mark. Overall we loved the stay and it was a memorable vacation for us at World Backwaters. We will come back for sure with our friends and family. Special applause to Ms. Aswathi Nair who managed the reception.
This is a wonderful hotel right on the lake with a lovely swimming pool and calming gardens. As a first time solo traveller it was the perfect place to start my adventures in India. The staff are incredibly warm and welcoming and the free evening boat trips and tea/snacks are very special. Particular thanks to Ayyappan and Sindhu for all their help and kindness and also to the lovely women in the restaurant and the spa (apologies I didn’t catch your names). Highly recommend for families, couples and solo travellers!

Wonderful place! Incredible location, surrounded by water and birds. Good rooms with beautiful view. And the host was the best! He really took care of us, and organized a boat trip and then a car for a long trip to Munnar. Food was outstanding, and you can eat at the Sunset Point, looking at the beautiful Kerala Backwaters. Overall, one of the most memorable stays in our trip through Kerala. Highly recommended!
this property has a wonderful ambience and the location is superb. The views from our room and all of the facilities is of the glorious lagoon with the lake beyond. There’s a wonderful restaurant, very nice work out facility and thriving Ayurvedic spa treatment area. There’s also a happy hour from 5 to 7 which is very good value in a lovely bar overlooking the lake.
The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed the delicious food and the peaceful atmosphere. It was also really well-organised, incl. transport to and from the hotels. I can definitely recommend staying at Grand Villa houseboat to anyone who seeks some peace and quiet in a beautiful setting, incl. amazing food and welcoming staff!
We stayed for two nights. Perfect location, everything was new or looked new. Everything was clean even to Swiss Standards.
Also a better AC than other hotels we stayed in during our trip.
Food was excellent and they also served breakfast on the balcony after we asked. Got a view of the rising sun with our coffee.
Being a heritage hotel it had feel of the tradition and culture of the place. The food was absolutely amazing and chef Revi made amazing food with some local fish dishes like "currymeen". The manager of the property Mr. Soji was very cooperative and made us feel at home. Absolutely amazing experience.
It is a very nice property. Well maintained, green, on the lake but no boat traffic to disturb the peace of the place, just the hotel boat. Nice facility, pottery, bike, fishing. Nice room. Some have a private pool some a big jacuzzi in the room. The massage is fantastic- a must to try.
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.
Everything was perfect, my favourite hotel of all the places I stayed whilst in India for 2 weeks.
The staff are so friendly, the resort perfectly maintained.
I enjoyed the sunset cruise, cooking demo and the morning yoga was a great way to start the day.
First of all let me tell you this is one of the best places I have stayed in. Food is amazing, View is amazing, people who like to stay at a calm and quiet place where you can enjoy the nature this is the place to go.
We had a great time at the hotel! We really enjoyed the amazing food and our peaceful villa at the lake. The staff was super friendly, accommating and helpful. We'd most definitely stay here again!
