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.

Staff and food was amazing! The boat itself was great - new and clean, has AC in the eating area and rooms, decently insulated from insects and as comfortable to sleep as a boat can be. The host/staff were very friendly and accomodated any requests eg drive during sunset, cooking specific foods. We also bought some fish and seafood in the market we stopped by on the water and asked them to make some dishes and this was delicious - would reccomend! Overall 10/10 definitely an experience to do in the backwaters and would recommend this provider.

In the invoice provided to me on my request, total amount of Rs.21600/- is given as a single entry instead of segregating the boat rent of Rs.18000/- and GST of Rs.3600/- . Lack of transparency. I am thinking of reporting it to the GST vigilance cell
