Beautiful Homestay on the banks of the Meenachil River - A true sample of excellent hospitality

One of the best homestay i've visited! A perfect place to relax. Location is very beautiful and close to nature. The place is very well maintained. Shanta Kochamma,the hostess and Renju, the manager were extremely friendly, attentive and helpful. They treat you likr family, and make this a true "Home"stay! Home cooked food was yummy. Room and bathroom were spacious and spotlessly clean. There was a small library just outside the room which had a nice collection of books. I would highly recommend this place and I would definitely want to come back to this place again. Thank you Aunty and Renju for being a wonderful host!

Best and peaceful place to stay in Kottayam Kerala

I had a fantastic stay at this homestay! The cozy atmosphere and warm hospitality made me feel right at home. The rooms were immaculate, and the homemade breakfast was delicious. The host went above and beyond to ensure my comfort. I highly recommend this homestay for a memorable experience.

Considering a homestay located in Kerala, nothing much to compliant. Please add more kerala cuisine for breakfast.

Wonderful staff. Lovely old building and grounds in a very peaceful setting. The food was worth the stay alone.

Some of the local tuk tuk drivers didn't know where the location was.

Relaxed time in a homely atmosphere

The homestay served home cooked meals, which was delicious, sumptuous, tasty and soft on our stomach. I was absolutely amazed by the personal attention paid by both Mrs. Shantha Kurian and Mr. Renju. We felt totally at home and even the other family that joined us on the second day made us feel that we were all part of one big family. We had a truly memorable time.

Tourism has not yet picked up and may be if the tourist traffic increases, the facilities offered my become wider.

Beautiful old family home that has been turned into a home stay with a gentle touch. gorgeous location and wonderful foo

So peaceful and a very personal service from the family. the food was delicious and we enjoyed seeing their garden and the crops they use in the kitchen. gorgeous old house.

Be prepared for quiet and no real activities - but if that's what you are after it is perfect.

Passable

The property has enough space to walk around

The breakfast was not good and deserves a big thumbs down. the idly and sambar we had from there was a let down. It would have been better if the breakfast was not included with the booking.

Good

Breakfast was delicious and served with all the comforts of homely air. The only setback we had was the non-availability of tea on the evening of the first day. We had to go out for snacks and tea. We were in a hurry too. We want to come over there for a relaxed time next time.

This was the perfect place for us

The staff are helpful and friendly. The food is fabulous. The location is lovely for walking as the scenery is so attractive.

The tuk tuk drivers are charging very high rates more than treble what it should be, so nothing to do with the property.

Lovely hosts. Nice and quiet location on the river. Lovely place for pure relaxation, birdwatching, reading, walking or just "dolce far niente". We had some really nice food. One of the best home made caramel custards we have had in a long time. :-)

Peaceful and relaxing location with very helpful staff

The location and homestay is absolutely beautiful and peaceful. The staff helped us to seamlessly organise several amazing activities including a houseboat ride which is a must-do. We did yoga every morning with an excellent instructor and also took advantage of the on-site massage and steam which was excellent. The breakfast was included and was lovely with different dishes each day. They catered for vegetarians as long as you advised in advance. We also had dinners here for a small extra cost and these were equally good. Overall, a great place to relax and get away from everything. Thank you.

Fabulous, quiet place on the banks of the Meenachil river

The place was tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Kottayam town , but not too far away. The only sound was that of the birds and the wind. A perfect place to relax or work from! Shanta Kochamma, the hostess and Renji, the manager, were most gracious and helpful. The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean. The river had a mystic calmness to it and I enjoyed a boat ride one afternoon. The food and breakfast were wonderful. Authentic Kerala cuisine, very tastefully prepared. Not many places are able to provide homely, local food, so this was really nice. The day I arrived, I had not asked for breakfast, but they managed to muster a quick breakfast for me. Being slightly remote, one has to be organised for food and transportation. They were able to get an auto/taxi on prior notice.

It was a perfect stay! The main road is about a kilometre away, so one has to walk to an auto or plan ahead and call for it earlier. No other hotels nearby- so need to be organised and pre-order food or eat in town and come back.

Very good

A great property in a scenic location. Comfortable room and amenities. Friendly staff. Period furniture adds to the attraction.

Maintenance needs improvement. The shower taps were non functional and a large metal vessel to collect water was provided in the bathroom; totally unexpected. The shower taps should be replaced. The location by the bank of the Meenachil river is impressive, but the road to the property is not very nice. With some more attention to maintenance, this property can be far more impressive.

Feeling of second home

Everything was perfect. Nothing more to pen . Regarding rooms , oh! its more than expected. And breakfast was superb. My parents were with me . They all liked to be there at room peacefully. We all enjoyed the beauty of nature. Especially we all experienced birds chirping all the time. So we didn't visit Bird sanctuary, as this beautiful place is surrounded by evergreen trees and birds . Enjoyed God's gift. Thanks a lot for everything . Will come and stay with Akkara !

Sorry .... Till now I didn't have any complaints .
