"Rhythm kumarakom. A property that drew me to it was the sheer expanse of its pool. With a length of 150 meters, it’s best to take a pool cottage as that helps u step straight from your room into the pool ! and that’s quite a perk ! the rooms are clean and the usual kind that we find in any luxury property. They are not ultra luxurious and would rate them as 3/5. Though i must say they are clean and v comfortable. The bathroom has 2 showers with one that’s even open to sky. Which unfortunately i could not use as there’s no hot water in that one. But every time, anything falls short the pool makes up for it more than enough ! the waters really good and the pool is extremely clean. The staff is courteous and though language is a bit of a problem ( which seemed to be the case all over kumarakom) it’s not difficult to manage. For lovers of south indian - keralite cuisine this place is idle. The food and service in the restaurant is good with reasonable rates. And a special mention is befitting ashwin, aashna and the service manager bijou. The property expanse is not much so if u are looking for sprawling gardens and pathways. Rhythm would not be the chosen one. There are bicycles available but surprisingly this is the first time i came across a luxury resort that charges its guests rs 250+ taxes as rent on an hourly basis. That is an expense which usually is something i have not encountered and a bit of a put off. The spa is good but think it’s over priced. Overall it’s a property worth visiting without any regrets. Just a heads up - you must prepare urself to see a whole lot of guests swimming in their regular t-shirts ! though mentioned that only swimming attire would be permitted, don’t be surprised to see women in salwar suits. Men and boys in t-shirts with their swimming trunks ! the blessing here is that the pool is so big that this ghastly sight seems v far and distant ! lol would give this property a solid 4. 3 out of 5"

"We had a wonderful stay at Backwater Ripples! The resort is beautiful, peaceful, and surrounded by stunning backwater views. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff were very friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. The food was delicious, and the overall atmosphere was relaxing and enjoyable. It was the perfect place to unwind and spend quality time with family. We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend Backwater Ripples to anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable getaway in Kerala. We would love to come back again! ❤️❤️❤️"

"Location excellent and awesome food. Would like to come back again. Good place for get together."

"We loved this resort and our cute, classic cottage although at first the resort felt like too large a property for us after all the small hotels we had stayed in during the prior few weeks. But it felt just right once we knew our way around. We could have stayed for longer - the setting on the lake is stunning, the pool area is so inviting and the food is good with amazing variety. We had lunch poolside, dinner in the fish restaurant and breakfast in the main dining room where the buffet is incredibly varied and tasty. We enjoyed the yoga and included sunset boat ride as well. You arrive and depart this resort by boat which is fun and unique and you are never missing a water view from this property - it is so picturesque and scenic. The outdoor seating areas and the amazing lush grounds make it feel so private and expansive - there are many walking paths to enjoy and we liked the butterfly garden. There is a rec room and gym but we did not have time to use them. We enjoyed the provided entertainment - evening dance show over a cocktail before dinner and morning music in the dining room. We would stay longer next time for sure."
