The host was incredible! So knowledgable about the local area, recommended a great spot for lunch and organised a canoe tour for us. He then helped us navigate the local unused for our onward journey to munnar. 100% recommend if you’re backpacking.

L’hôte (Jibu) est incroyablement gentil et serviable. Il se tient disponible pour toute requête, il est toujours de bon conseil et peut organiser des activités sur demande. Un amour ! Les chambres sont spacieuses et disposent d’une bonne qualité de wifi.

Jibu is an amazing host, he really went above and beyond to show me around and help me out with everything, very kind. I definitely recommend going on the canoe tour he offers to organise, it's a much more authentic experience than going on a houseboat, and much cheaper too. The room is very spacious and clean, and great location close to the centre and the beach. Highly recommend, thank you Jibu!

Jibu is the best host you could wish for. He was so accommodating with everything and a lovely person to talk with. The hostel is really cute and in a great location to get around. Jibu helped me to arrange a day trip on the backwaters, which I really enjoyed. The room cost was very affordable and I had a balcony to relax. I would highly recommend this to all travellers. Thanks so much Jibu.

Jibu is a very kind and professional person. His Abru’s Holiday is a good spot, between the beach and the backwater side of Alleppey. Very good advices and helpful to organize our trip of 2 days in Alleppey (Kayaking and silent paddle boat trip and good time chilling).

Jibu was a fantastic host he made sure we had everything we needed for our stay and booked our backwater trip for us and gave us good restaurant recommendations. The room was spacious and stayed surprisingly cool despite only using a fan. The location is good half way between the beach and city. Very good value for money for Allepey.

The property definitely needs more cleaning, there was a lot of dust around the windows and outside the property there is a lot of litter from previous guests. The mat outside the bathroom was full of dirt and sand so we couldn’t use it.

I had a very nice stay here. Jibu is very friendly and gave me tips about where to go in the area. The room was big and comfortable with a terrace.

Close proximity to the train station, the room was spacious, clean and comfortable but our host, Jibu, is what really made our stay so wonderful - such a kind, welcoming, friendly man and very interesting to talk to. We booked late and Jibu had an appointment but he rushed back to the guesthouse to make sure it was clean and ready for us. When we left, my boyfriend forgot some of his clothes which had been drying outside but Jibu kept them safe for us and even met us at Alleppey station a few days later to drop them off. We were even treated to a complimentary massage by Jibu, a professional masseuse. We are very grateful to Jibu for arranging a canoeing trip through the backwaters of Allepey. We were picked up by a tuk tuk, taken to the ferry port, dropped off at a little village for a delicious breakfast, and later lunch, and taken on a canoe ride through the narrow canals which the larger houseboats can't fit through. A wonderful way to catch a glimpse of local life which we wouldn't have known how to arrange without Jibu. One of the highlights of our trip so far!

A few mosquitos outside so just make sure you wear bug spray if you are sitting out in the evening. Room was bug free though 🙂
