Please do jot go for exclusive boat as it is really costly and no worth.

I booked exclusive boat expecting that me and my family will use the property to spend our happy time. But, I got upset when late evening I wanted to be at hall area staff came and asked to vacant the place and to be shifted to room only. Day was hot so I asked them to switch on the AC for few hours but the denied and said they don't have fuel. they denied extra tea by saying they don't have milk and the house boat was not prepared to make any changes in the menu as they had limited stock. TV was there but of no use as no connection or network. They parked boat in evening 6 PM and re started in next morning 8 am and finished the tour at sharp 9 am. No early morning boating was there as the staff was sleeping in my hall area up to 7 am.

Good experience

Lovely boat and good staff

Hope that the communication between the two sections of their business improves. The head office didn't pass our booking confirmation to the boat staff and we lost around 1.5 hour's of our cruise before the go ahead.

they will scam you. it’s boring. just do a day trip

was an ok boat.

They try to scam you by saying that your card declines when trying to take the pre payment & then when you ask to try the payment again they say sorry the boat you booked is now sold out you must go on shared boat- then make you pay in cash. ( after being mucked around by them sending us to wrong pick up spot) The water on board is in reused plastic bottles that might not be sanitary - no seal cap. It’s quite boring, there’s no guide to give you information about Kerala - they barely speak English. No tv. About 2 hours of following other house boats in a loop through some busy back waters. You dock at 5.30pm in a general harbour - no where nice to wake up to just other boats right next door. No aircon till 8.30pm. Room is stinking hot. Food is pretty average. If you go in a group it might be ok, but I’d recommend doing a day trip in a smaller boat and avoiding house boats all together.

A really unpleasant experience

The staff were very hard working and courteous.

The boat that was advertised was not what was given to us. In fact it was an old boat that had come back after repairs that very morning and was not one of Soma’s own boats but belonged to another company. The room and bathroom was filthy. Black water was coming out of taps and after shower we were all feeling scratchy. There were only 2 pieces of fish for 3 of us - when I pointed this out the staff said they had been informed of only 2 adults and no child (while booking was made for 2 adults and 1 six year old child)! The towels were bad. No toilet paper - thankfully we were carrying our own.

the entrance was not welcoming so obviously one was not happy with the property

the Ac was only given for the evening hours from 9pm to morning 7am

Good

The ride was magnificent and so was the food. The captain and cook were professional and helpful. They provided everything I asked for. The room was lovely, furnished in wood panels which I love.

The manager was the rude, defensive and argumentative type. Despite the booking stating my credit card will be charged, he refused to accept credit cards contrary to what is stated on booking.com saying he only takes cash because of covid.... I subsequently told him to update this on the website... It bothered me as I was very low on cash since not many people accepted credit cards this time in India. Secondly, the AC that was promised weren't operational during the said hour, it cut off between four and six which ruined my sleep. I was half awake during my morning cruise. Lastly, the boats were moored no where near the given address, when İ called their given number, it didn't work the first time round but I got through and someone was sent to pick me up, still worried me into thinking that I may have missed my ride. There seems to be too many levels of staffs who do not coordinate with each other.

Wonderful stay on backwaters

The hosts Bipin and Bipin (Koshi) were wonderful! They are very helpful and makes you feel very comfortable. The boat was in good shape and well maintained. I definately recomend them, they are really good.

The bed was not a real double bed but two single beds were kept side by side, which shifted overtime. Otherwise the beds were comfortable. Another issue, not about this particular boat but a general problem with all houseboats, the smell of petrol! Since specially in busy times the boat traffic on the canals is high, you can smell burnt petrol almost similar to that on the busy roads. But let me repeat this is not a problem with this particular boat, but a problem in general.

disappointed with what i read as reviews and what i got

Nothing at all except the people running the boat were good and courteous and made great food..

oh where should i start from 1. the pics that you see are far from what the boat was given to us 2. boat was unclean, cramped and makeshift.. it had cockroaches and lizards and everything just about functional 3. the bed and the room was very small, not even for a single person let alone couple

Disappointing

The boats are old. Charges are phenomenal. Bedsheets, towel, blankets not washed. High on expectations and low on delivery. Scenic beauty of the alleppey backwaters is good. There is no point staying a night on the boat. Instead one shoe go for a day ride.
