★★★★★ 9.3 (49 reviews)

"We recently went for a day outing from Infopark to Backwater Ripples, Kumarakom, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The resort offers a peaceful and scenic atmosphere surrounded by beautiful backwaters, making it a perfect escape from the busy work routine. One of the highlights of the trip was the food. The buffet had a great variety of dishes, and everything we tried was fresh and delicious. The Kerala-style dishes were especially flavorful and well prepared. The snacks and refreshments served during the day were also excellent and added to the overall experience. The staff were friendly, attentive, and ensured that our group was comfortable throughout the visit. The property is clean, well maintained, and ideal for team outings, family trips, or a relaxing day with friends. Overall, Backwater Ripples provided us with great hospitality, tasty food, and a refreshing day in a beautiful setting. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in Kumarakom!"

★★★★ 7.3 (116 reviews)

"Rundown and overpriced hotel. The cottages are dilapidated. The toilets don't flush , the open showers are covered with debris and the water does not drain. The fans don't work and the phone was ripped out of the wall. The restaurant food is very mediocre. This hotel has potential but is desperately in need of maintenance."

Contour Backwaters

Contour Backwaters

📍 Alappuzha - Changanassery Hwy, Kottayam
★★★★★ 8.0 (6 reviews)

"Very unprofessional and mostly lazy people work there. I was told a price and time duration to use the place in person, but when it came to booking, they changed it completely. They asked me to pay an advance without giving any written evidence of the agreed price, which allows them to increase the price later."

★★★ 8.8 (82 reviews)

"The room was clean and well-maintained, offering decent amenities for a comfortable stay. However, the quality of the linen and towels left much to be desired, as they were below expectations and could use significant improvement. Overall, while the room itself was satisfactory, the bedding could have been of higher quality for a more pleasant experience."

Rhythm Kumarakom Hotels in Kottayam

Rhythm Kumarakom

"We had a nice stay at rhythm during this summer holidays. We booked a lake view terrace room for two nights. Lake view from the resort was impressive especially in the evening. They also arranged a complementary boat trips in the evening and the one hour lake travel was amazing. As we had to move very early on the check out day to board train, we were likely to miss the complementary breakfast,but they compensated that by arranging a dinner during the stay. The support and attentiveness of Darshan was worth mentioning in making the stay comfortable."

Coconut Lagoon Kumarakom- a CGH Earth Experience

"Special mention to the wonderful Naveen, who was our yoga and meditation teacher at this resort. He is about the most well read and interesting teacher I have ever met on my travels, and although his life remains local and ‘small’, his inner world is expansive and insightful… quite the humbling experience. I recommend him without reservation. Thank you Naveen. Take care of this treasured resource you have CGH Earth!"

Cocobay Resort Kumarakom Hotels in Kottayam

Cocobay Resort Kumarakom

"We had a great stay at Cocobay. The hotel and rooms were characterful and clean. The ambience was quiet and relaxing and the view being right in the lake is amazing. Arriving at the hotel carpark we were shown to a small boat and were carried ***** to the hotel which was a nice way to arrive. The food was really good and staff were helpful, friendly, and spoke great English as well as other languages."

Gokulam Grand Resort & Spa, Kumarakom Hotels in Kottayam

Gokulam Grand Resort & Spa, Kumarakom

"Apart from the scenery, world class food, exceptional accommodation and beautiful ambience, the part that made the biggest difference were the staff members. Each and everyone one stopped to say “hello have a great day” and treated us like premium guests. Gokulam is God’s gift to Kerala and must go for anyone looking for a break from monotony and homely service. 10/10"

Abad Whispering Palms Hotels in Kottayam

Abad Whispering Palms

"Close to nature, relaxing stay. We chose the lake view cottages. Great ambience and good customer service. There was a little leakage on the floor (but it did not bother us). We ordered room service for dinner and the food was finger licking good… the only little trouble we had was with the wifi… we could not connect to the wifi initially, but then, when it was connected, speed was not great. Since w E did not have much to do over wifi, this was okay."

Lakesong Resort Hotels in Kottayam

Lakesong Resort

"It was an amazing experience stay with lake song… from the entrance we get an amazing hospitality from reception staff ., I would like to mention some of the names Mr. Libin, Ms.Sneha, Mr.Rashid, Mr.Steffin, Ms.Amirtha they are very helpful and explaining each and everything about all about packages and activities also they escorted as to the room. Very good bell desk as well they were helpful for assisting and explaining about room facilities. The evening was unforgettable for as from food and beverage friends., they were make reserved tables with candles light dinner setup from Mr.Tilso for as was really surprising and well created, special thanks to all F&b team Mr.Shine, Mr.Robin,Mr. Arun, Mr. Renjith to make our dinner memorable.About the breakfast also there is no word to say about the variety. There is Indian (south and north) more than 4combos and live different kind of dosa like masala dosa, plain dosa, gee roast etc.. different kind of omelette also in live section. The breakfast buffet is international and well standard. All the activities of resorts are well useful, we should try all we miss fishing and self boating because of time. Recommended for staying more than at least minimum 2nights. Our boating trips was awesome also pool facilities. Really recommend the place to stay home away from home with lots of family friends and family members 🥰😊🤗"

Backwater Ripples Kumarakom ★★★★★
"It is very clean, has a beautiful garden, a pool with nice few of the lake and also the food was really great. Sindhu (the experience manager) took a lot of time taking care of us. She helped me with my skin problems by finding some good herbs, took lots of pictures of us, showed us the garden and gave us some fresh mangos straight from the tree. Also the reception was very friendly and helpful - they brought us some fresh coconut, answered all of our questions and also brought some breakfast to the room. An ayurvedic doctor gave us a lot of insight and we had a great masage, worth the money (around 25€ for 1 hour). There are events included, such as a boat trip with the sunset, guided walks, afternoon tea and snacks, and a lot more. All together it was a great experience."

Arackal Inn ★★
"An average room offers a functional living space with basic amenities. Typically, it includes a bed, a wardrobe, and a desk, providing the essentials for rest, storage, and work. The room's size is usually moderate, balancing comfort and practicality. Cleanliness is standard, though decor may lean towards minimalism. Lighting is adequate, with a mix of natural and artificial sources. The bathroom, often shared, is kept tidy but may lack luxury features. Noise levels depend on location, ranging from peaceful to moderately busy. Overall, it's suitable for budget-conscious individuals seeking a simple, comfortable, and convenient place to stay."

Contour Backwaters ★★★★★
"If you’re looking for a place that redefines “hospitality” as a complete absence of it, Contour Backwaters Resort is unmatched. Booked almost the entire resort for a wedding, paid a premium—and got non-working ACs (including the bride’s room the night before the wedding), dust showers on beds, broken locks, stained toilets to add to the grief, dinner served 2 hours late (after guests left), and a “DIY breakfast” where we had to switch on lights and stare at empty food counters. Bonus experience: carrying our own luggage in formal wear under the sun because staff were apparently optional. A perfect venue—if your goal is stress, chaos, and regret."
