Visited with family 2 adults and 2 children for a day cruise houseboat with one bedroom 11:00 AM to 05:00 PM. It is May summer time. Kids liked the overall day cruise. There was a boat driver, cook and boat assistant. The cook prepared South Indian food. It was enjoyable. There is toilet which was clean enough. The only disappointing thing is that they don't switch on the AC during the day even if we booked only a day cruise. And the blanket on the bed was smelling like it was not washed for a month. When I texted the owner Mr. Babu about our problem. He apologized for the smell of the blanket and said he was out of town for a week and did not check. It was really suffocating in the room. We could not sit in the room for more than 15 mins even with the small windows after lunch.

There was a welcome drink and in the evening snack & tea was served at 04:00 PM

I don't recommend day cruise during the summer if they don't switch on the air conditioner.

This boathouse does not have fishing rods which I should have asked before booking. It was my fault not asking them in advance. My kids were disappointed for not being able to fish.

A wonderful backwater cruise in Kollam! The classic Kerala houseboat on steroids...it looked like a sea monster gliding across the water. The staff of 3 (Captain, guide Biju, and chef Rama) was a great team that catered to our needs. The boat had 2 ensuite rooms; great value for a party of 4...a bit pricey for 2, yet once in a lifetime memories are priceless!...must do when traveling in South India. Manager Ligu and staff show their passion in their work. Great job!
