On the somewhat large and deserted beach at Alapphuza, which only comes alive a sundown. This was the best hotel we saw in the town. It had character, rooms were execllent and clean and it had a good retsaurant. Although touted as the best in town, I actually preferred a more basic place along the ebach. Staff were helpful, but...

This hotel was beautifully furnished with lovely attention to detail on the different coloured window panes, lounging chairs etc. It was opposite the beach (that wasn't for bathing) but otherwise pretty secluded i.e. not much / anything to do. That said, it was a lovely hotel to lounge by the clear blue pool and play the hotel scrabble in the... More

Its hard to find fault with this delightful little hotel. My partner and I enjoyed five wonderful days there following a hectic two week sight seeing schedule. We also bolted on as may extra treats as our end of holiday budget would allow, which included a full package of arayevedic massages, fabulous home made meals with fresh juice drinks, shopping...

Our four nights at the charismatic and beguiling Raheem Residency were a highlight of our recent trip to Kerala. A sympathetically restored and sumptuously appointed gem of a hotel with an old world air and service that was efficient, courteous and discreet. The roof top restaurant was fantastic for breakfast (Especially recommend the French or Bombay toast) and evening meals,... More

My wife and I booked a reservation at Raheem Residency and they completely screwed up the process. We repeatedely called and emailed to receive some type of confirmation regarding the reserveration, and for 3 months heard nothing back. When I finally was able to talk to Satheesh and Parwathi, they gave us an attitude, said it was our fault. We... More

I'm sure a lot of people miss Alleppey and only arrive here to catch a boat. However, it's really worth an overnight stay and I'd highly recommend Raheem Residency as the place to do it. Ideal location over from the beach so you can go mingle with the locals. The cafe/bar they own next door is handy and serves great... More

This lovely little hotel/homestay has a wonderfully colonial feel to it. We had the Raheem room which very spacious and furnished with attractive traditional furniture. The generous ensuite bathroom has a bath and shower. The hotel has a great little pool with loungers around it and excellent pool service, as well as a some shady comfortably furnished verandahs. Directly opposite... More

This is a great place to stay with lovely rooms and public areas. Our room was spacious and very well finished, with lovely traditional furnishings. The overall ambience of the place is very relaxing and the staff cant do enough to help you. There is a pool as well as lots of shady spots to sit and read or play... More

My husband and I stayed at the Raheem Residency in Feb 12. From the moment we arrived until 5.00am some 4 days later we experienced wonderful service from lovely people. Our accommodation was THE Raheem's room. It was perfect. Air con super, soft lights (no bright lights in this room). We had the room with the open roof shower and... More
