Everything was fine with me.

Sehr freundlicher und hilfsbereiter Service, Frühstück war toll und es konnten Touren über das Homestay organisiert werden Gute Lage direkt bei den Backwaters, Restaurants in Gehweite Saubere Zimmer mit Balkon

Struttura tradizionale incantevole! La proprietaria è stata gentilissima e disponibile, soddisfacendo ogni nostra richiesta. Ci ha preparato una cena squisita😍 deliziosa anche la colazione. Consigliatissimo!

Tutto perfetto

Memorable stay. Facilities are good

Basic amenities like tissues, TV etc.. are missing

Very homely friendly serviced apartment. Food was exceptional 👌 thank you Ligi & Co

Only one thing Sharing dining table with others, we opted to stagger the meal times

Ospiti davvero molto gentili e disponibili nello spiegarci e consigliarci attività da fare in zona. La struttura mette a disposizione dei clienti delle biciclette con cui è possibile con le quali è possibile fare dei brevi giri lungo i canali. La casa è piena di oggetti di antiquariato che la rendono unica e molto particolare. Ottima la colazione

La posizione lungo una strada che la notte é buia e trafficata.

Very nice staff, great breakfast. Clean and quiet rooms.

Very clean room, amazing food cooked, lovely people and great location. Also they have bicycles you can use to get around. The family are very good at organising any activities for you. Would highly recommend

Nous avons été très bien accueillis par la propriétaire et par son fils (par whatsapp). La chambre était propre et confortable, nous y avons été très bien ! Il faut commander tôt pour profiter de la cuisine mais quel régale !!!! Un de mes meilleurs repas en Inde ! Nous étions comme des rois et la cuisine était succulente ! Nous avons profité de l'excursion tuc tuc ainsi que de l'excursion no-motor boat dans les backwaters au petit matin (proposés par le fils de la propriétaire), les deux étaient exceptionnels avec un parcours très beau et de magnifiques choses à voir (sunset point, temple, villages, rizières, oiseaux, etc). J'ai adoré ce séjour et les environs de Kumarakom ! Je recommande pour ceux qui aiment sortir des sentiers battus !

Une famille adorable, très prévenante, qui nous a concocté de très bons plats, et donne beaucoup de chouettes opportunités de visite. L’endroit est très propre et confortable. On se croit comme à la maison

The host, her advices, her delicious cooking, the charm of the place and region

Gentillesse, propreté et beauté de l’établissement

Tout était parfait

Very nice place. The ladies who run it are fantastic and help you plan activities and prepare the most delicious breakfast ever!

Hospitable staff, easy walk to a local family restaurant for genuine local food, lovely breakfast. We were very early due to an early flight, and staff pulled out all the stops to get us into our rooms

all good - great value for money

Très belle guest house tout en bois, staff accueillant et attentif à nos demandes ! Les 3 vélos dispos sont un peu fatigués mais ça fonctionne pour aller faire un tour dans les rizières (on était 5, la patronne nous en a trouvé 2 autres), 2 canes à pêche disponibles aussi en fouillant un peu... Possibilité de diner sur place ( table d'hote à réserver le matin), super bon ! Petit déj super copieux et très bon aussi... Le petit musée au 2e étage de vieux objets de la vie quotidienne vaut la visite ! Tour en bateau sympa dans les canaux pour observer les oiseaux le matin ( prévoyez vos jumelles)

Rien à signaler (Attention pas évident de changer de l'argent à Kumarakom)

Everything was great. But the best was the breakfast. The hosts are very friendly en helpful. And everything is clean!!!

Un accueil incroyable et beaucoup de souplesse ! Un lieu plein de charme et des chambres très cosys et confortables. Pdej et dîner succulents et archi- copieux ! Wifi, AC, vélos à dispo pour balader dans les canaux à proximité et un incroyable musée à l’étage… à découvrir absolument ! Peuvent aussi organiser des balades en bateau sur les canaux. Merci encore pour ce délicieux séjour.

En bord de route mais on entend aucun bruit et accessible en bus.

Loved my stay at Kumarakom Wood Castle - the staff was very responsive, very helpful with some logistics/travel related questions I had, location was great, and was a very unique and beautiful place to stay

the owner's kindness. the food. it was perfect.

אירוח למופת לבבי חם ומפנק. מיקום מנצח והוגשו לנו ארוחות הכי טעימות שטעמנו בהודו. מומלץ ביותר

V comfy bed, and the lovely friendly couple who run it. 5 mins walk to the boats.

Is on quite a busy road.

The staff is very pleasant. Delicious breakfast. Clean rooms. We had a really pleasant and good stay there. The owner helped us with everything we needed and was always available. Highly recommend

I loved everything about this stay. The owners/staffs were so kind and attentive! Breakfast was homemade and delicious. The location is not too crowded, but close to everything needed -- restaurant, boating, or walking in the village. They will also arrange for activities if you are interested. It felt like home. If you want an authentic Kumarakom experience, you should stay here.

Nothing!

Nice hotel in the middle of a quaint little village. Excellent breakfast that was included. Room clean and comfortable.

Nothing

Hospitality

The wooden architecture and the way property owner aunty took care of us

Very good place

Amazing shikkara ride organised by host. We got to help prepare our food which was awesome as we haven’t yet made it to a cooking class. Amazing museum and shop attached to add to the cultural experience. Will be back to experience the new Ayurveda location that the hosts are opening soon! Great taxi also organised by hosts. So helpful and communicative.

Very good location, next to the Bird sanctuary and nice canals The host was very nice and helped us organize some activities

The house is next to the main road, which is pretty busy during the day

Nice place very good welcome the best breakfast, nice room with balcony, interesting museum upstairs, on the best place

Nothing

Lovely building with well appointed and comfortable rooms. Fantastic staff and lovely home cooked food. All at a very reasonable cost. Whats not to like. I would reccomend the Wood Castle to anyone looking for an authentic home stay experience. 5 stars.

Traditional house interiors. Has a wonderful Antiques museum. Very good home cooked breakfast.

Beautiful place, very friendly and helpful hosts!

This is a very beautiful and interesting building that also houses a curiosity shop. There are restaurants and kiosks all around the property and the breakfast served here was the best we had during our time in India. The Owner is a lovely woman and nothing is too much trouble for her. The rooms are very clean and tidy with great air conditioning.

The Wooden Castle is beautiful, and within easy walking distance of the canal and restaurants. I had a lovely room with a big balcony and a very comfortable bed. The family who run this hotel are so friendly and helpful. They booked me an early boat to watch the sunrise and the opening of the water lilies on the canals and lake. It was magical. Then I was fed a huge, delicious home-cooked breakfast. Thank you for your hospitality.

Nothing

Lovely stay and made To feel so welcome. Breakfast was amazing. Was a let to arrange boat trip and onward taxi very easily from here

Cost comfortable and lovely wooden interiors

Location was very close to all of the places that we wanted to visit, the breakfast provided was amazing, very helpful host, clean rooms with clean bathrooms

Beds was not very comfortable in one of the room, the water took some time to get heated.

Very friendly owners!

Nothing (maybe mosquito mesh on window would be good!)

A beautiful wooden building with very comfortable rooms. Very clean and, as it is set back from the road, quiet. Viji provides a delicious breakfast and the dinner she made for us was excellent. Good location for the bird sanctuary and backwater boating - a bit out from the centre of town but easy to get a tuk-tuk.

Great location, great walks near property, wonderful breakfast

Great homestay in Kumarakom. Lovely rooms, very clean. Very helpful hosts. Good food.

Everything was good

Such a friendly homely experience

Perfect location comfortable rooms A loven family that make you feel so welcome And relaxed Thanks Liji and Aswin 🙏

Amazing accommodation, very warm owners

Great room with good bed linen and towels. It was easy to book a backwater boat and get info on our onward travel. Tasty breakfast and walking distance to good restaurants and bird sanctuary.

Nothing.

Such a pretty wooden building, which has been built with real attention to detail. Our room was very comfortable and breakfast was delicious. We had great ayurvedic treatments at the spa a couple of minutes walk from the property and also went on an excellent early morning shikkara trip, which was organised by the owner. The owners were friendly and we enjoyed our stay.

Room was a bit dusty with an empty water bottle left on top of the wardrobe!

Our stay here was lovely. Perfect location to explore the backwaters and the property has bikes you can borrow! Host was very accommodating and made the best breakfasts every morning.

We really enjoyed our stay here, the room was a great size and the bed was really comfortable. We had the best sleep we’ve had in 5 weeks in India here as it was comfortable, quite and it was dark even in the mornings (you don’t get these 3 things in most hotels in India!) there was always hot water and the room was really clean. Liji was lovely and made a lovely breakfast, she also kindly helped us with recharging our SIM cards and sorting a tuktuk to the bus station. We accidentally left with our room key and they were so nice about it - we offered to post it back but they took care of it. We would stay here again if in kumarakom… oh and we loved using the free bicycles to cycle the backwaters which was one of our favourite times in all of our trip!

Nothing about the property we didn’t like but there isn’t many restaurants near by - we found a nice one up the road (kumarakom kitchens) and ate there 3 times.

Extremely kind and thoughtful hosts. Everyone at the property went out of their way to make sure our stay was a great one. Lovely and generous breakfast. Great location. Building was a labour of love and reflects traditional style of Kerala.

Amazing host who is really helpful with organising activities for you and providing tips Tasty breakfast Cute shop in the basement

The room is quite dark as it has only a small window facing the balcony The location is great for exploring the surrounding but not special itself as it is right at the main road

The family and staff running Kumarakom Wood Castle are just the sweetest. Every meal was really tasty and plentiful. The owner and her son gave lots of good advice on things to do in the area, and helped with arranging the bookings. Location is very convenient, near places to get a boat on the backwaters and to cross Vembanad lake. My room with private bathroom was spacious and clean. Kumarakom Wood Castle is the perfect place to stay for anyone wanting to experience the serenity of the backwaters.

Excellent à tous points de vue.

This place was truly amazing. It is a heritage house. We had great experience. The food was amazing, both dinner and breakfast. Must recommended place.

We had a wonderful stay at Kumarakom Wood Castle! The breakfast was by far the best we had during 2 weeks travelling through Kerala. The owner and his wife makes for a dynamic team who are professional and very helpful with arranging taxi's, House boat stays and interesting places to visit. The property is a beautiful traditional wooden Kerala house with many interesting features like an antique shop and an amazing museum on the top floor! This is a must visit. We arrived as strangers but left as friends. Thank you for giving us the best Kerala experience.

Nothing!

The hotel is perfectly kept. The manager is very welcoming and accommodating. Her home-made breakfasts are excellent. She gives good advice on walks. What's more, the shop downstairs and the museum on the 2nd floor are very interesting. The 2 helpers are very friendly.

The host were really friendly and felt like home. The ambience of a wooden Kerala house brought back to me so many fond memories of my childhood. The place is nearby to boat jetties and so many eateries ...it helps you to explore the place more. The place also has an antique shop and a museum which was cherry on top:)

The place was close to everything Including the bird sanctuary and the backwater boat rides. It was so cultural and beautiful I would highly recommend a stay there.

The host was very friendly. Felt like we were staying at home.

Lovely small homestay run by a wonderful family, who took care of my every need (and more) as a solo female traveler. Walking distance to the bird sanctuary (a little dilapidated but worth it for the stork colony) and the lakeshore, and perfect location for walking or cycling along various canals (bikes and directions provided for free). Room was comfortable and well equipped. Breakfasts were fabulous too, as well as conversations with the hosts, who built this charming "wooden castle" as a labor of love. Highly recommended!

Everything was excellent - only not recommended to visit in April heat (but no fault of property)!

Very relaxed and calm environment

Amazing breakfast, lovely people.

Could have been cleaner.

We enjoyed our stay in Kumarakon Wood Castle, the rooms were simple but clean, the owner very friendly and helpfull to organize the boat trips, massages or walk around the property. We also had an homemade diner and the prawn curry was really delicious. There is also a nice museum on the top of the house with hundred of vintage items.

A lovely, helpful host who makes a fantastic south Indian breakfast. Having the bikes was amazing for exploring the backwaters and paddy fields

There were some very loud power tools being used during my stay which ruined the tranquility somewhat.

Absolutely delicious breakfast - one of the best we had on our trip. Super helpful and friendly staff who organised a lovely boat trip for us.

Very helpful owners, and in a beautiful restored building.

Barking dogs next door

Traditional feel. Excellent breakfast good location for walks in river area and bird sanctuary.

Very good on whole

Very friendly staff and delicious breakfast.

The family who owns the place was lovely and helped us with recommendations and bookings. They were also accommodating with our late check in time. The breakfast was home made and very tasty. The place is beautiful and has a very unique decor.

There was no mosquito net on the windows and we were fighting off mosquitos all night. We might have missed turning on the bug repellant in the room if there was one but we were not told about it.

Beautiful room with a balcony to relax. The owners booked us a sunrise boat trip which was wonderful. Can borrow a couple of bikes to cycle around, and delicious breakfast! Highly recommend, thank you for having us and sharing your world.

Staff were very warm and welcoming. The building is nice and our room was large and comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious.

friendly atmosphere, good ambience and food

The hosts were very kind and supported us during our trip with helpful tips and even arranging for a driver and activities. The collection on the top floor is very impressive and interesting and the house itself is a work of art with beautiful wooden furniture.

Nothing

Such a sweet place! Delicious breakfast and the host helped us organize everything we wanted to do while we visited. Highly recommend!

Nothing

We highly recommend the Wood Castle! The family running it is super nice and helpful. The mother cooked delicious and generous breakfasts and it was nice to have a chat with the father during breakfast. The son helped us find and arrange activities in the region and was very helpful and kind. The building is also very charming and the rooms comfortable.

Kumarakom Wood Castle is excellent for couples and families. The rooms are clean. They also provided toiletry kits, dental kits and clean towels. But the best part is they also keep an electric kettle along with tea kits. The room was just the right size for my family. It had a beautiful balcony too. The wood castle completely takes after its name, for you would see a lot of beautiful wood work in the rooms, and the exterior too. Its located on the main road, and in the vicinity of many good restaurant. The ground floor of the restaurant has an antique shop that sells beautiful and curio items at affordable prices. But the best part of this beautiful place is the amazing hosts. They serve the best breakfast we have ever had while on a vacation. They are very helpful and made our stay very convenient. They even arranged for vehicles for us for visiting places. Besides, the bird sanctuary and the boating office is also close by. We stayed in Kumarakom Wood Castle for three days, and I am very happy I chose this place. At the end of our stay my four year old kid beautifully summed up her stay here with - "Why can't we stay here forever! It is such a beautiful place!" I recommend this place for everyone who visits Kumarakom!

I don't think anything in this property is unworthy of liking any grounds. It is just superb!

Location, cleanliness and food

Rooms are too close to each other
