Review long time pending, Visited Backwater Ripples for a company meeting with my family, and the experience was wonderful. The staff was excellent, specially Deepa rajith, who made our stay even more comfortable. The food was delicious, and the peaceful backwater boat ride was truly calming as it glided smoothly over the water. The sunset view was breathtaking, making the moment even more special. A perfect mix of work and relaxation, creating unforgettable memories. Highly recommended!

This hotel is going to change your life. It elevates your holiday to a new realm. The peace and tranquility are instantly soothing, the service is EXCELLENT and faultless everywhere you go. The beds are incredibly comfortable, the food is wonderful. And we cannot believe the value for money. We had the best time here. A true South Indian experience with a luxury feel, we only wish we could stay longer!

This property is just brilliant! The rooms just give you this wonderful view of the lake. Just mesmerizing! The spacious rooms, the well equipped mini bar, the room service is just brilliant. The restaurant food is so so good. The tender coconut souffle is to die for. The Chinese food is yummm! Add to that the evening tea and snacks infront of the lake with the sunset!! The complimentary boat ride they provide is so so good. Everything about this resort will make you want to come back again and again. One of the best places we have ever stayed at and will surely come back again. Last but not the least, the staff. So courteous, always smiling and always ready to help.

Tyndis had an amazing staycation at Backwater Ripples for our client. The entire team went above and beyond to make it a memorable experience. A special thanks to Mr. Gopakumar, the General Manager, for offering us the best deal. Mr. Govind, Mr. Jobin, and the banquet team did an incredible job organizing a memorable gala dinner and music. The front office team truly made us feel at home, thank you, Sindhu Chechi, Ms. Indraja, and Mr. Piyush, for your support and warm smiles. Backwater Ripples continues to be Tyndis’ preferred property in Kumarakom for hosting our TreeMonks Ignite team building activities, staycations, and workations. Thank you, team, for your outstanding support!

Great location on the backwaters. We thoroughly enjoyed complimentary boat ride & live music in the evening. If you are nature enthused make sure to visit the Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary and scale up the watch towers to have a nice birds eye view of a bird colony of Egrets & Painted Stocks.

The resort is wonderful. Every single member of the staff go above and beyond - most welcoming, caring, accommodating to my family. Such a beautiful place with amazing rooms, boating experiences, infinity pool with view, speedboating, delicious food of both South Indian local and international cuisines, and truly the best staff ever we have experienced. They helped arranged a tasty cake for my birthday and the entire team came to sing. Thank you to manager Karthika and the entire Backwater Ripples staff for great family vacation.

Very good property and good service. Nice view from room and very pleasant environment. Spent good time with family and enjoyed it well. Good food and room service. They have separate kitchen for vegetarian, which I like the most being a pure vegetarian.

Everything about this resort exceeded our expectations. There was so much to enjoy— the welcoming staff, cold drinks at the Irish-themed pub, the lake cruise, the pool, delicious local snacks, live music and dance performances, massage offerings. The whole vibe was just amazing.
