“Not worth it, a day trip would have been better”
+The view and scenery were beautiful with very friendly crew on board
−Bathroom, bedroom and bedding not clean and had a bad smell, also docked right where we got on the boat where there are speed boat activities, not the tranquil environment we expected, would have been better as just a day trip.

“Peacefully”
+Yes, it was a wonderful experience. We are so happy we did it.The check in with Shenil was easy ! On board Achu was perfect,Manu was too, of course, but we shared some really special moments with Achu. We really enjoyed ourselves, and the food was excellent,even a bit too plentiful! Have a great evening, good luck, and well done!
−A little more attention to the cleaning of the fans, little things.

“Relaxing Experience on Alleppey Backwaters”
+We liked that the boat was made of natural fibers. We were fed like kings and the food was delicious. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There was air conditioning in our room which made it pleasant to sleep. We enjoyed sitting at the front of the boat and watching a thunder and lightning storm in the evening.
−The bed was a bit too hard for our older bodies! We didn't like that the scheduled church visit ended up at a master carver's shop trying to sell us something.

+We liked the fact that the boat was made from natural material . We were looked after from the moment we stepped on board . The cook made the most delicious food and plenty of it. We passed very interesting houses watching life in Kerala go by. Taking the smaller boat was particularly interesting.

“Bellissima esperienza e staff di bordo adorabile”
+Io e il mio partner abbiamo soggiornato una notte sulla houseboat. Ha tre camere, ma solo la nostra era occupata, perciò abbiamo avuto la barca interamente per noi. La comunicazione con lo staff di bordo è stata abbastanza semplice nonostante la barriera linguistica, mentre il ragazzo ‘da terra’ che si è occupato della parte logistica e organizzativa parlava inglese abbastanza bene da permettere di comunicare agevolmente. Abbiamo speso circa 120€ in due e il servizio si è articolato nel seguente modo: pick up alle 12 (super puntuali), pranzo servito alle 12:45 molto buono e abbondante. Giro per i canali con una barca più piccola (highlight dell’esperienza!). Prosegue la navigazione per i canali più grandi sulla barca principale. Stop per vedere una chiesa e fare un giro ai negozietti locali. Banana fritta come snack pomeridiano. Abbiamo continuato a navigare fin verso le 18, poi abbiamo attraccato per la notte. Possibilità di scendere dalla barca per fare due passi nei dintorni. Cena servita alle 19:30, di nuovo molto buona e abbondante. La camera per la notte è pulita e funzionale, con aria condizionata, in bagno l’acqua calda funziona perfettamente. Colazione servita il giorno do
