Very welcoming & helpful family, they lent us bikes to go for an ayurveda treatment. House is close to the bird sanctuary which is worth visiting early in the morning.
Food was very good.

Breakfast provided was a different Indian meal each day. Dinner mostly taken at a nearby restaurant but one dinner meal (whole fish) at this Homestay was very nice. The family was friendly and the host (Divya) was as helpful as one could wish. She arranged all transport with ease. She speaks English.
Be prepared for bucket and dipper bathing (no problem, actually enjoyable) as water pressure is low in the shower on the 2nd floor. Nice hot water though. The balcony was comfortable and the view very pleasant and restful.
We were in India and at this Homestay during the hottest part of the year due to attending a wedding... so no choice! This also coincided with the rivers being covered with Water Hyacinth weed so they were not available for backwater trips. The lake was open for day trips and overnight on larger boats. The weed clears in later, cooler months.

The location...the walk along the waterside was lovely, both during an afternoon and an early morning. The food was tasty and the views lovely.
I enjoyed it all!

We really enjoyed our days staying here. Accommodations are comfortable. Divya and her family welcomed us to their home and we had the opportunity to try different homemade local food which was amazing! They were super helpful and made our time there special.
This is a nice rural area, we liked that we could walk around and see the real daily life in the region :)

Excellent homestay in Kumarakom. Divya and her family made everything for us to feel at home. The property, as many have already said, is in an excellent location, just in front of a river. Boat trips and taxi rides were all very conviniently arranged by them.
The bathroom is excellent and big, but a courtain or shower box would do good.

Room was clean .
Rent is high . The room on top floor and you need to carry the bags through tough stairs . It’s a little tough task .
Food was not satisfactory. Not up to the mark .

hospitality and food

The hosts and their attitude made all the difference. I had seen some reviews where people had mentioned about spicy food,lack of restaurant et al. Think it boils down to communicating with the hosts and it worked well for us. I am posting a picture of the hosts saying a bye to someone who stayed with them for a few days and I could see that they were very same to each and every guest!

From the beautiful location to the simplicity and extraordinarily hospitality of the hosts, I loved everything about Mango Kerala Homes aka Meenakshi River Villa, which is named after their first daughter. Book it now!

This was the best part of my Kerala trip. The place is a beautiful getaway on the bank of a tranquil scenic river. Very clean and comfortable rooms. The hostess Divya was amazing and took care of every need, starting from coffee in bed at 6 am to arranging a sunset cruise and morning shikara ride. The freshly cooked dinner on the cruise with pan fried lake fish was something special. Divya even went out of her way to make sure the taxi dropped us safely to Trivandrum, our next destination. Overall a very enjoyable and memorable stay.
Nothing in particular
4.8
The homestay is located in a quiet lane and is easily accessible. The rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable. There is ample natural lighting. We appreciated the fact that switchboards were thoughtfully placed. The host, Divya, and her family were very welcoming and prompt with help and suggestions for things to do. Divya also went a step further and offered us their bike when we wanted to step out. The traditional breakfast was excellent. We really enjoyed interacting with the family and would love to go back.
