"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...

24 hour staff were great for check in (I arrived 1am from a late flight).
Room was tidy and I received a free upgrade. Daily room clean and laundry if required.
Complimentary breakfast was very good. Staff were friendly and helpful. Facilities were great too especially the gym. Very affordable for the rooms and service provided.

Room was clean and the air conditioning had been on, so we entered to a cool room. The food was exceptionally healthy.
All the staff were great but the standouts were Daniel k and Prousha. They both went above and beyond to make a wish of mine come true.

From the momen we were met at the Cochin airport we knew we had made the right decision with choosing The Raheem Residency. Nothing was to much trouble.
The pool area was wonderfully quite and tranquil. The Restuarant served beurtiful Indian food and the view to the ocean perfect. Sheen the manager, was extremely helpfull in making suggestions for activities and went out of his way to make our stay perfect

We were in Alleppey to see the Kerala Backwaters and the Treebo Palmyra is conveniently located to Alleppey train station and the Finishing Point where you can board the various boat options to your the backwaters. I would say one or two nights is enough to stay here and see all the main sites including Alleppey Beach and the lighthouse. The staff at the hotel were amazingly lovely and accommodating however the food at the restaurant is not great and recommend you eat elsewhere. Also we didn’t...

From start to finish our stay was very enjoyable. The staff were extremely attentive and helpful, they even managed to book a train trip for us which at such late notice was no mean feat! The food was delicious, the room beautifully decorated and the amenities extremely well maintained.
We took the complimentary sunset cruise and did a cooking class which was a lot of fun.

Check in and check out was smooth. We booked lakeside Villa and our room was well maintained. The lakeside views from our room were gorgeous. Our stay was very pleasant. The staff of the property are courteous and friendly.

The best thing we did in India the houseboat exceeded expectations. The facilities were amazing, the staff brilliant and the tour fun. The food was the best we had and the whole experience really good value. We only wish we had booked for longer.

Very relaxing and beautiful scenery.
The rooms are very modern and clean.
There was a total of 7 rooms on board, so it was good to mix and chat to the other guests.
The crew on the houseboat were wonderful, very friendly and helpful. Always willing and happy to help.
Food was excellent, but keep in mind there is no alcohol, as seems to be case everywhere in Kerala.
We will happily come back again.
