We spent a wonderful night on the lovely houseboat. It was a very special experience and the hosts were so helpful, they assisted with our airport transfers and made everything easy. The freshly cooked food was perfect, my friend is vegan and they catered beautifully for her. We arrived to a meal, then several hours cruising the backwaters, stopping off at a massage place on the way. They docked in a very quiet area away from other houseboats to sleep, which was great as the others can be quite loud. On the day after they threw in a sunrise canoe trip down the narrow canals of the backwaters for us. I would recommend this company to all!

This houseboat is fantastic. We saw others in the dock that looked run-down and old, but ours was beautiful. So comfortable, clean and nicely decorated. The staff and skipper were great and looked after us so well without bothering us. The food was delicious and the bedroom and bathroom were surprisingly comfortable for a houseboat. This was easily the best houseboat in the dock. Go for this one.

Our room was lovely and clean. The hosts were very accommodating and welcoming. The food was great!! The trip itself along the backwaters was beautiful, particularly after passing the other house boats. AC worked well (at night only), we had a comfortable and relaxing stay.

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.

The houseboat was impeccable, the food and the service on board could not be faulted. Stopped on the way to get some beers etc and the team included what we bought in our experience without question. Very relaxing with great food. The communication form the local office (Honey) was great, made things very easy for our driver.

We had the houseboat just for ourselves, for 1 night. The boat, and the room itself, is quite spacious. The staff was very friendly, kind and caring. Also discreet, since it was 3 of them and 2 of us. The food was really good! Overall, it was the highlight of our trip! Very enjoyable, great experience!

Why Not Houseboat was easily the best looking houseboat that we saw on the backwaters. The crew were lovely and the food was delicious. The boat was spotless and extremely comfortable. Slept incredibly well and woke up to the most serene views.
