Good things first: 1. The crew on board is A class and will go at lengths to make it a very personalized service. 2. Food is exceptional and the morning break-fast is an amazing experience. The bad: 1. Bathroom was way below par and dirty. 2. There were roaches in the bedroom. 3. The price is definitely a rip-off. At... More

We stayed at the houseboat for a 24 hours trip and truly enjoyed it! I can highly recommend doing this trip to see the beautiful nature, rice plantations and villages along the backwaters. Service and friendliness of staff on the boat and of Binu was impeccable. Also, the food was delicious and portions were huge. The boat was 100% clean,... More

The trip was great and so was Binu Joseph and all the staff! Very good service and a perfect choice for honeymooners. The houseboat was luxurious and very comfortable for a couple. The staff were very friendly and hospitable and were accommodative. We had an awesome time and we highly recommend everyone to chose this service. More

We were travelling from Cochin and a taxi was arranged by Binu to take us from the hotel over to the houseboat port in Alleppey. When we got to the boatyard we were loving the... More

The experience was really awesome.The arrangements and service given by the entire team including Binu is worth rembembering. Total package was value for money. Only the timming restriction in the boat should be obsolete. More

Warm welcome from Binu before boarding our canoe for two! Its really like a small "sampan" with two reclining loungers and covered roof. Spent the... More

No holiday to Kerala is complete without the houseboat experience. The rickshaw from Aymenem to Alleppey finishing point took us a little longer than usual as the roads were in a pretty bad condition and it started raining heavily. At the finishing point, our house boat 'Mayura' awaited us. It had an upper deck, like I asked for. Thanks Binu!... More
