"The stay was very pleasant with good ambience and nature. The kids enjoyed the swimming pool very much. The restaurant is very much understaffed literally only one staff member. The buffet menu breakfast and dinner should be improved a lot i can give 2 stars max to the restaurant. The ala carte menu is good but the taste and portion is not at all worth for the price. Stay 8/10 food 5/10 restaurant 2/10 staff service 7/10 staff availablity 4/10"

The Windsor Castle ★★★★

📍 Kodimatha Bridge, Kollam - Theni Hwy, Kodimatha, Kottayam

"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."

Taj Kumarakom Resort and Spa Kerala Hotels in Kottayam

Taj Kumarakom Resort and Spa Kerala

"Often when people rave about a place you end up going there and are a bit disappointed. Not Taj Kumarakom. Despite the highest levels of praise from our friends, we had a truly magical and wonderful experience - made possible by the property and the backwater experiences of course, but most importantly by THE PEOPLE OF TAJ. Starting with Ms Priya, the duty manager, and several other staff - including Suresh Sir (reserved tables for our family even without asking), Alan (knew exactly what we wanted after just one order), Anish, Ajo, Lucy, Fami, Fatima, Seji, Akshaya, Dr Akshara, Malu at the pool, Nitya our yoga teacher, Sachin and Sanjay at the Activity centre, and of course Shadab the GM, the experience is truly magical and you are incredibly well looked after. THE ROOMS are large, spacious, stepping out into the lake. THE FACILITIES are superb, the Ayurveda centre, kayaking, zip lining were all memorable. THE EXPERIENCES are one of a kind. We did the Shikara sunset ride (cannot miss it), the house boat for four hours (wouldn’t recommend overnight stay), evening sunset tea/ coffee, and of course the Ayurveda centre. THE PROPERTY is stunningly beautiful and so well maintained. You will take too many pictures! THE FOOD is wonderful - not only the authentic Kerala cuisine, but also the non Kerala food was top notch. A huge thanks to all at the property but particularly, Priya looked after us incredibly well, took special care of a senior citizen in our party, suggested and booked places and experiences, and overall was the anchor for our stay, making us feel so much at home. Wouldn’t have been the same without her and her colleagues."

Cocobay Resort Kumarakom Hotels in Kottayam

Cocobay Resort Kumarakom

"Beautiful staying beyond our expectation. Reception was perfect, tidy room, fully equipped, all in an authentic Kerala setting. We had traditional south Indian fish and continental breakfast. My wife could comfortably have her ayurveda massage at a fair price. I enjoyed very much the swimming pool facing the lake. Location is everything!"

Green Fields Kumarakom

"This hotel delivers value for money. The whole staff seems to be well trained to listen to the guests and comply with care on any request. Food was good, we had breakfast, snack and dinner during our stay. Special mention to Mr Nibin for arranging boat rides, short and long distance travel and Ayurvedic treatment while we were here. Thank you so much for making our trip extra special."

Lakesong Resort Hotels in Kottayam

Lakesong Resort

"Definitely not a 4 star experience and it was very below average experience. I found the lobby and corridor areas not clean at all and there was some kind of stink all over. Their services such as room service take hours to get completed. Laundry service is also very slow. The pool was not clean and they beedtk work on that as well. The only good thing was the garden area withba good view and the garden area was also not maintained properly. I don't recommend this place. "

Abad Whispering Palms Hotels in Kottayam

Abad Whispering Palms

"We checked in on 27th October and checked out on 28th , the room was pretty basic the property needs urgent renovation, and the garden needs attention also. We stayed at Garden facing cottage, Booked thru Agoda and the rating was 8.2, it was nothing near 8.2. The silver line was the service of the staff and the restaurant, we tried dinner and complimentary breakfast which was very tasty"

Kalathil Lake Resort Hotels in Kottayam

Kalathil Lake Resort

"Kalathil Resort is just a short ride from kochi which makes it a good choice. Kids can enjoy the pool ,turf, boating and other activities. They could however improve the maintanence of the pool. Food is generally good .breakfast was really nice.thanks for the hospitality."

Coconut Lagoon Kumarakom- a CGH Earth Experience ★★★★★
"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."

Rhythm Kumarakom ★★★★★
"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"

Backwater Ripples Kumarakom ★★★★★
"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! ❤️❤️❤️"

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."
