"Very disappointing – Not worth the money 0/5
We booked a one-night houseboat stay in the Kerala backwaters and unfortunately felt completely mis-sold.
On arrival, there was no communication. We were asked to pay extra for meals despite them being included in our booking. We were also put on a small boat and only told five minutes into the journey that an additional fee would be charged with no prior communication.
The houseboat was nothing like the advertisement. It was old and run-down with...

The property and service was good. All the staff were very polite and helpful.The only downside was that the Car parking facility is not attached to the main building.

We stayed here as it was close to my friends wedding that we attended.
We were happy to stay here for two night. It was comfortable for the duration of the stay. The staff were so lovely, and could t do enough for you.
They brought a coffee and a chai up to our room.
We would go back if we needed somewhere for a short duration in that town again.

I’ve been to India a dozen times and this is one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough. Do yourself a favor and book this trip as soon as you can. I’m not kidding. It’s bucket list stuff.

There are pros and cons with this place.
Pros:
Pretty location, right on the water.
Very good breakfast selection.
Spacious room and bathroom.
Private terrace area.
Meals available throughout the day.
Charming and helpful restaurant staff.
Cons:
They took our luggage to the wrong room, but no one knew which room for about an hour.
The two ‘reception’ women were pretty, but pretty useless (very limited English).
None of the staff appeared to communicate with each other.
Thin walls...

Its an amazing hotel tucked away facing the lake.
I loved the Aapams and the Mini Fishing Net.
The facilities needed to be updated such as A/C & The Shower Head
However it was a peaceful environment and the one room house boat was stunning

You must stay here if you want a Heritage Property rather than a generic hotel.
Previous reviews online mention...
Swimming Pool - No damage to any tiles and is spotlessly clean.
Dated Rooms and plumbing - All the rooms have now been refurbished and are beautiful. A wonderful mix of historical designed furniture with modern amenities.
Cleanliness - The property is spotlessly clean.
Flyover / road - Yes this is ugly, no getting away from it. But we were not disturbed by any noise and it...

A descent stay of 24 hours with cordial crew members and the local delicacies made our day in marvel cruise. There are lot of local boats to catch up but Mravel cruise stands apart in the claealiness and service.
