I spent a very relaxing two nights on the houseboat, spending the first day travelling south and spending the night next to the rice paddy islands, then the second day returning along the other coastline. The food was consistently fantastic, with absolutely massive portions 😅

Beautiful and wellmaintained houseboat - elegant and simple interior. Service onboard was impeccable and the freshly prepared meals were all delicious. From the grilled spotted tailfish to the banana-curry, tasty salads and chilimarinated kingprawns to the freshly squeezed pineapple juice we had for breakfast along with our perfectly cooked masala-omellettes, ricenoodles and coconut vegetables plus lots of fresh fruit. The smiling and discrere staff made us feel at home from the moment we entered the boat and one of them told us some interesting facts about the backwaters. The scenery at Aleppey backwaters is out of this world and getting to take it all in onboard a small private houseboat driven by a very professional team was a once in a lifetime experience for me and my parents.

After staying at Kalappura homestay and talking to the owner Jose, I booked his houseboat trip too. His offer was a good deal for a solo traveler. The boat trip was very nice. The captain and the cook were friendly and helpful. I felt like a king on the boat. What I liked the most was that Jose made sure I also saw the local side of Alleppey. We took local buses (I wouldn't do that myself) to a local market to buy food for the boat trip.

We had the most delightful overnight stay onboard Thara’s Houseboat. It is beautifully maintained and very comfortable. The food prepared and served by Sargee, who is passionate about his craft, was delectable and the two boatmen, Raju and Jaypal quiet and competent. Our hosts, David & Ambly, who took care of the administration, were very friendly. Not only was Sargee our cook but he also took us on a lovely late afternoon walk along one of the smaller canals describing the plants and their medicinal or culinary benefits something for which he is also passionate. Overall it was a wonderful trip and one we are so glad we didn’t miss.

Review of a Houseboat Stay in the Backwaters of South India: We had an amazing night on a large private houseboat with three of us and three staff members. The meals were absolutely delicious, especially the fresh crab and prawns served for dinner. The price was very reasonable for such a unique experience. The trip also included a peaceful excursion on a smaller boat through nearby villages, which added a charming touch to the journey. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the region!

    The food was amazing. The chef is incredible - best food i have had in the whole India trip. Varied and delicious. Aircon in bedrooms and of an evening in the downstairs lounge, plus aircon in the dining room. Slept like a log. Wonderful relaxing backwater cruise. Highly recommend Grand Villa Houseboat.

    We stayed overnight on the houseboat. The boat itself was very nice. The lounge dining area was particularly good, the bedroom was fine. I wasn’t sure how it would work being the only passengers, but I was relieved that it went well. The crew of three were very professional and helpful and they made it a very pleasurable experience. We particularly enjoyed the food prepared for us.
