Hotel Arcadia ★★★
"Location, Ambience, Stay, Amenities and Food excellent and topmost service. Very caring and helpful staffs. Experienced way of dealing guest by front office manager Libya Madam. Very good view from 360 degree and Sky bar at the top of hotel. Excellent service and also the swimming pool facilities also very clean, well maintained rooms and over all great ambience and mind refreshing atmosphere."
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."
The Windsor Castle ★★★★
"Excellent"
Hotel Malika Residency ★★★

Daan Orchid Residency ★★★
"I had a very pleasant stay at the hotel yesterday. The staff was courteous, the room was clean and comfortable, and the overall service was excellent. Thank you for the warm hospitality"
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."
National Park Residency Kottayam ★★★★
"The property ideally located in ettumanoor opposite the famous temple. The rooms are spacious with all the amenities. Bfast is not available in the hotel however there is a very good veg restaurant is nearby. Lunch and dinner is available however, local foods are not available. Only chinese, barbeque and north indian foods are available. Courtesy of staff is very good. Due to my request i checked in early and checked out early without any additional charges. Due to classification formalities for star status for hotels, some maintenance work is going on all the common corridors. I will certainly recommend this hotel for anyone who is visiting ettumanoor or surrounding areas."
Aariyaas Regency ★★★
"we stayed for one night ,the staff on the hotel was very nice and friendly. The rooms are super clean. "

Uncle and aunty are always available. I had awesome home cooked meals. Uncle arranged for canoe ride and other activities. There are also cycles available. There is a nearby ayurvedic massage place. Wifi is good. Hospitality is top notch. I would definitely come here and this time for a week. This place is perfect for people who want to unwind in nature."

Coconut Lagoon Kumarakom- a CGH Earth Experience
"Still and amazing place. Please select the heritage villas to stay. They need to improve the Airconditioner in the deluxe villas and also do something better to prevent the leakage of light into the room. They need a gym for sure and a bigger covered sit out with fans inside. It's all Global warming and they need to keep up. Chef and service and food are all amazing."
Contour Backwaters
"We booked a hall at Contour Halls for 19 August 2026 and paid an advance of ₹10,000 on 10 June 2026. Due to unavoidable family circumstances, we had to reschedule the event to 17 August 2026 and informed the banquet in charge on 2 July 2026, which was about 45 days in advance. Unfortunately, the venue was not available on the new date. When we requested a refund of our advance, we were informed that the company has a "no refund" policy. What is disappointing is that this policy was never communicated to us during any discussion, nor is it mentioned on the receipt provided at the time of payment. I understand if a cancellation happens at the last minute, but in our case the date change was communicated well in advance. Transparency and clear communication are important aspects of customer service, especially for event bookings. Customers should be informed of any non-refundable terms before making payments. For me, this is not just about ₹10,000; it is about business ethics and fair treatment of customers. I would advise future customers to clearly obtain written confirmation of the cancellation and refund policy before paying any advance amount. God bless this group who needs money to survive."
Niraamaya Wellness Retreats Backwaters and Beyond Kumarakom
"It was very fruitful and colorful from all aspects, I can highlight the wonderful Control from the front desk manager on most of the things also, the service was excellent in housekeeping."

Holiday Vagamon
"I stayed for here for 2 days very comfortable stay with excellent food. It is very near to vagamon town you can easily access here the only problem is it is very expensive comparable to other cottages in vagamon."
Abad Whispering Palms
"Whispering Palms is well located and in a nice position directly overlooking the backwaters. It is a family friendly hotel with good amenities for children. Not really a couples destination as too noisy with so many children staying. Staff friendly but not super attentive."
Paradise Heritage Resort
"Beautiful and well maintained resort. The employee are very friendly and they provide good food. It's a perfect place to enjoy they provide various activities"
Chrysoberyl Hotel and Convention Centre
"No room service. Though charges are very high. I booked in makemytrip since the rating was high. Staff need to cater to customer needs."
Green Fields Kumarakom
"Only had one night but room was very spacious with working air con on a very hot night. The staff were polite and friendly and whilst we were in the pool one of the workers offered to get us a couple of pool towels. The pool was clean and very inviting temperature. There is a really nice raised area to sit above the pool which had a slight breeze. The food in the restaurant was not that great but as nothing was really close by and we had no transport this was really only option."
Rhythm Kumarakom
"We enjoyed our stay at Rhythm Kumarakom and the food was too good with amazing delicacies. The property was located away from the hustle hence you can experience a complete surreal feel in your trip. The Vembanad lake located behind the property is a true asset for the destination which makes your trip even more memorable. The property had all the amenities which are stated and the hospitality was too notch. I highly recommend this to my friends and family who wish to spend time with their loved ones ***** with the mesmerizing nature!"
Cocobay Resort Kumarakom
"Our family of 5 (including 2 senior citizens and a 7 yr old) visited this resort in Kumarakom for a quick 2 day visit in October . When we reached the parking lot I was in for a shock and felt cheated because the place looked so different from the actual pictures . As soon as I called the reception to reconfirm my location, they sent a person who ushered us to a small roadside canal and took us in a small boat (vanji as it called colloquially). The short 2 min drive changed my first impression drastically. The boat ride to the resort was so serene that it brought in an instant sense of calmness . The resort staff greeted us sweetly and the entire resort was a treat to our eyes. The resort is made thoughtfully and is surrounded by greenery and water . You can sit for hours on the bench in front of the Vembanad lake watching it and that too without worrying about the coconuts falling on your head (Yes! They have taken additional care to add sheets around the tree to prevent coconuts from falling down too :) ). The restaurant inside this resort serves yummy food but costs a bomb. However there are other food options we can explore outside. The extremely friendly staff ***** with the overall ambience definitely makes this place worth a visit"
