“Peaceful, beautiful location,great staff,very good value for money, ,highly recommended!”
+Everything! Beautiful, peaceful location by the lake,very relaxing indeed. Lovely large room with a comfortable bed & clean bathroom. Solar powered shower so hot water was patchy but it was so humid it didn't matter to us. Really helpful,lovely staff who let us; do our laundry, take out their kayak,arranged a lovely half day trip to Munroe Island and gave us a great tip about a free Indian Classical dance performance going on in town! Oh and they tried to book us a train too!
−Lake location mean there are a lot of mosquitos (we brought a net which helped!)

“Relaxing stay with a super helpful team and an owner who showed us amazing hidden local spots.”
+We had a wonderful stay at Ashtamudi Villas! The place is simple, in Laurie Baker style, but that’s exactly part of its charm - everything was very clean and had all the essentials you need to feel comfortable. A special mention goes to the incredibly attentive and helpful team. They even assisted us with booking train tickets, which can be quite challenging in India - this support made a big difference for us! We loved to take the kanu for a quite trip on the open lake, where lovely people greeting from the shore. The absolute highlight was the owner himself. He went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable: he took us to local temple festivals and showed us places that tourists would hardly ever discover on their own. He also drove us to many beautiful and unique spots, giving us a truly authentic experience of the region. Thanks to this personal care and genuine hospitality, our stay was something very special. We highly recommend this place from the bottom of our hearts!
−Only the many crows in the palm trees were annoying and left their droppings.
−24 hours non stop noise from loudspeakers

“Lovely peaceful stay by the water”
+Lovely peaceful solar powered villas by the water, we had a great stay. The host was super helpful and nothing was too much trouble. We loved relaxing on the hammocks! Good proximity to Kollam but felt very quiet and peaceful. Would recommend thoroughly!
−Only downside (although this was not a major issue!) was that some of the staff were off for the Easter Bank Holiday weekend, so we weren’t able to have lunch & dinner in the villas, but the host was very helpful with recommending us places to eat & take away food from!
