★★★★★ 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!"

"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."

★★★★ 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."

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"

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."

Kumarakom Lake Resort Hotels in Kottayam

Kumarakom Lake Resort

"The whole experience was peaceful. The staff were all extremely kind, and were constantly making sure we had everything we needed. They promptly responded to our queries/complaints. One of us is vegan, and they readily accommodated us. Specifically Mr Kavi, who hosted the sunset cruise. He kept us entertained with his photography skills. Despite being open for several years, the property is well maintained and has multiple activities that keep the resort bustling with energy. The rooms were cozy and beautifully curated, and both demographics; the ones who enjoy an aesthetic stay, as well as those who prefer comfort. It’s apparent that the resort is determined in providing a memorable stay to it’s guests and also values quality, from the way the feedback is taken with grace and actually worked upon."

Niraamaya Wellness Retreats Backwaters and Beyond Kumarakom

"We stayed in this resort recently for four days. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our room was in the lake front with a private pool and the view was amazing. The staff members were outstanding from the time we reached to the time we left. They made us feel very special all the time and made sure that we are comfortable in every possible way. We would highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a high standard , beautiful and quite relaxing place in Kerala. Aniyan and Christine ( Canada )"

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."

Holiday Vagamon ★★★
"Overall it was a good stay at holiday vagamon. The property area was beautiful, laden with tea plantations. Our 2 nights stay was in a deluxe room and the room was just enough for a small family of 3 which included our little one. Accessibility to the property was excellent, which by the way was on the pulikkanam - elappara road and not too far away from vagamon town and many of the important tourist destinations. The restaurant staff was courteous and the food, we felt, was really good. Room service was good and we got our bed coffees, without us asking, by 7:15 - 7:20 am daily. What could have improved - the reception staff was a bit apprehensive and we felt that they were new to the property or did not have enough knowledge of what/where/when of vagamon. The restaurant seems to be small and got easily crowded during our stay since it was a peak season and all the rooms were full. We also felt that the restaurant was understaffed with the property manager (criss jacob) having to run around to get the customer service done properly. We felt he could have had some help. Other thing we noticed was that the room main door lock needed maintenance and most of the initial locks on the doors have been replaced with additional ones, since the original ones did not work. We also had to call up the reception 3 times during our stay when the water got over in the bathrooms and after calling them up, they switched on the motors. For a property such as this, one could expect not having to call up the reception to get the motors running to fill up the water."
