Superb
It took my breath away
The boat staff were excellent - very informative but also keen to ensure our stay was entirely comfortable, fun and friendly. The boat was just perfect with a great open space at the front for dining and also for taking in the sun and chatting to the captain. The bedrooms were just lovely and there was plentiful hot water in the tiny but entirely serviceable en-suite shower rooms . As for the food ? Superb- Rahul was a great chef and Vinus, with his good command of English and a keen sense of good service was excellent to have in the boat - he made the trip.
Although we understood why wed gone back to the start the night before the end of our trip ( power for the a/c) it did feel as though our 2 day trip was really just a 30 hour trip even tho we went back out the following morning .

Unforgettable experience!
This was a fantastic experience! The boat looks amazing, the rooms are very comfortable and cosy. The whole crew was very helpful and even though we were all in the same boat, we were given a lot of privacy. The food was absolutely amazing, the cook did a very good job! And the views... Just unforgettable...

Wonderful experience through the most beautiful backwaters
The service, attention to our needs, food were all incredible. Some of the best food I've ever had. We felt so spoiled by the crew and really appreciated the smaller boat ride through the narrow canals. The meals were perfectly curated to our tastes and preferences and was a really special part of the trip. Overall a wonderful & unforgettable experience.
The bathrooms were outdated and had a good amount of mold/grime everywhere. Though it was overall clean enough to use, they definitely could use updating. The hot water also did not work nor did the shower head. The provided shampoo/conditioner and shower gel were VERY old and couldn't be used due to an odor and strange consistency. The beds were OK, however, I found hundreds of little dead flies everywhere on the bed upon getting in. Given the location and how many mosquitos there are everywhere, this is understandable, however, the rooms could have used a good cleaning before people arrive.

The food prepared by the staff was awesome and homely The service from the staff was excellent The overall houseboat experience was quite nice
The pillows in the room were very uncomfortable There was a typical smell in the room which could be improved (I understand this is difficult given the arrangement but something can definitely be done about it)
