"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...

One towel for two people. If you take chicken for meal you were not allowed to get vegetarian potion. Never seen that before.
No activities on the boat. Not worth the price

10/10 Excellent
We took a 2 day houseboat from Alleppey booked through the resort (beware of cheaper houseboats that will disappoint you) and had the experience of a lifetime.It was simply amazing to be able to experience and share the daily lives of the people who live by the backwaters.
Our onboard chef catered for all our needs and was always going that extra mile.When we docked at the Resort the 5* service continued.Everyone should do this - you will never regret this journey.
I would however suggest...
