I want to start writing with the fact that this was so bad, we wanted to runaway from the houseboat, by whatever means possible. I had booked a houseboat through makemytrip.com for meridien houseboat. The boat was supposed to pick us up at 12:00 clock but never showed up till 1:00 PM. The boat was very dirty, old, cheap, and... More

We booked river queen houseboats through a travel company planning our trip. We stayed in the houseboat for one night. It was nothing short of a nightmare. We were three adults squeezed into one tiny room. The extra bed was actually a mattress on the floor. The floor of the houseboat was very dirty and there were also cockroaches. The... More

The river queen house boats is really an experience in its own that cannot be imitated anywhere. It was a part of our 7 day tour in the greeneries ( arranged by Antilog vacations which gave a very good service).We stayed at many places but this was different. Traditionally the houseboats have been called Kettuvallam in Kerala which literally means... More

I found this good house boat. Boat was good in condition. Also sight seeing was great, I booked deluxe house boat, but on this AC was on for 9.00PM to 6.00AM only. I was worried about food as they are not offering choice for food only they offer south indian food. But food was good. This would be better if... More

As with other reviews here, we were also dubious about merely sending an e-mail and paying a deposit up front with no real booking acknowledgement. We really needn't have worried, we had booked a tour with these guys, so they arranged for us to go to Munnar with a driver, stay in a fantastic hotel and then be brought to... More

Cleanliness and Hygiene is zero in this houseboat. We found at least 5 lizards crawling on the wooden walls all over. The crew had the least courtesy and have not received any training except for driving the boat. The food served were literally soaked in some old oil. All my family had stomach upset the following day. The crew didn't... More

I will suggest before booking please check your house boat snaps. I had booked a deluxe boat and found condition of the boat was very poor. It was not at all neat and tidy. There are a lot of house boats to choose over there. At night they will anchor the boat to a boring place with no market to... More
