Paddy N Canal Homestay

The room was clean

The access to the property but it was clearly mentioned by the owner

Homestay de 3 chambres, situé devant les canaux des Backwaters. Très propre, avec salle à manger commune + frigo et café à disposition. Les chambres sont très confortables , ils proposent petit déjeuner et repas sur place. Nous avons aussi fait le boating dans les Backwaters (sunrise), un de nos meilleurs moments de voyage. On recommande vraiment ce homestay !

RAs

The host ( robin and his brother ) know how to take care of the guests. They guide and help us in any possible way the rooms are so clean and the facilities are also perfect they also offer the canoe boat tour which is the cherry on a top they will take to the untouched place at Alleppey (at extra cost) you can try that as well overall great experience.

Very clean & hygienic. Host- Robin & Rino are very kind & helpful & maintained the property really well. They have their own canoe rides & they accompany for the rides & gives good insights & tour about the city.

Parking at the side of the road & 50-70 mtrs walk from the road. Slightly difficult for 4 wheelers to reach the door. But thats fine, as it is just 50-70 mtrs.

We fully enjoyed our stay at Paddy N Canal. The location was great - we really enjoyed sitting on the terrace sofa overlooking the canal. The room was clean and spacious and had good AC. We even got upgraded to a nicer room without extra cost. Robin, the host was super nice and helpful in everything we were wondering. Make sure to book one of his boat trips - we did the canoe sunrise trip which was so peaceful and beautiful. Robin even edited a short video with the pictures from the trip. He has the nicest and most welcoming family, and his mum is a fantastic cook!

Excellent location with beautiful views on the terrace. The room was very clean with good AC. We had dinner at the homestay and it was amazing—best fish in town😇. The family was very friendly and made us feel at home. We also really loved the sunrise canoe tour offered through Paddy N Canal. Would definitely stay here again!

Nothing, everything was great

Ce logement est très bien situé sur un des canaux. Le fils de la propriétaire nous a proposé une sortie en bateau et son site internet est très bien fait avec beaucoup d'explications sûr les activités et restaurants aux alentours.

Le logement est très bruyant et malheureusement ils n'ont pas été disponibles pour nous préparer de petit déjeuner ni de dîner. Dommage...

Chambre simple, très propre. Petit déjeuner copieux et délicieux. Famille adorable et accueillante, aux petits soins pour ses hôtes. L’emplacement est idéal. Nous recommandons sans hésitation Paddy N’ Canal Homestay!

Ein wunderschönes Homestay in perfekter Lage direkt am Kanal! Die Unterkunft bietet tolle Bootstouren abseits der typischen Routen an. Auf Wunsch wird ein perfektes Frühstück angeboten!

Clean, comfortable, good value.

Average meal options. Below average breakfast

La vue sur le ballet des bateaux mouche côté canal.

Encore un homestay qui propose à la réservation des chambres avec balcon alors qu'aucune n'en possède. A part le roof top dénué de parasol qui peut servir de four solaire et un bout de cage d'escalier en plein air, il reste un couloir donnant sur l'extérieur particulièrement apprécié, la nuit par des millions de moustiques.

- Great value for money. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Hosted by a kind family. - Robin can help you organise any tours you want to do. We did the sunset boat cruise with him and would highly recommend this.

Buena relación calidad- precio. Habitación grande con mesita de noche y sitio para poner las cosas. La familia encantadora. Opción de desayunar allí. Buena localización, cerca de los canales.

Mir hat alles gefallen,die beste Unterkunft die ich in 4 Wochen Kerala hatte.

Alles war gut

Very friendly family, had the best tour, comfortable room and hot shower

Nothing

La posizione super comoda per esplorare backwaters, la famiglia accogliente e ospitale, il cibo a pagamento buonissimo! Consiglio

Ho trovato il costo dell' Aria condizionata un pochino caro rispetto al costo della camera Pero comunque fattibile

Hyggeligt homestay hos meget venlig og hjælpsom familie. Homestayet har en fantastisk beliggenhed ved en idyllisk kanal nær færgestationen hvorfra, man nemt kan komme på tur ud i de utroligt naturskønne backwaters. Hvis jeg en dag er tilbage i Allepey, vil jeg klart bo der igen :-)

Intet.

Everything smooth and organized. Beautiful tour in kayak, amazing dinner and breakfast. Good vibes only

Super Lage und trotzdem ruhig. Sehr nette Gastgeber und sehr freundlich. Haben uns sogar morgens um 4 Uhr einchecken lassen. Alles sauber und gutes indisches Frühstück. Man kann mit dem Boot der Unterkunft Touren machen, die Preise sind angemessen und fair. Insgesamt ein toller Aufenthalt.

Great location, clean, comfortable and quiet with AC to cool down from the hot Kerala summer. Close to the canals and rice fields. Both Rino, the host and his mum are very friendly and knowledgeable. We took the canoe tour with him and we spent a splendid morning on the water, exploring the canals, learning about the local life of the people and tasting local coconut drinks. We even got the chance to pet an eagle during one of our boat trip stops. On our last day, Rino and his mum were very kind and allowed us to leave our luggage with them while we spent a few more hours having lunch and exploring the area before taking our train to the next destination later in the day.

Super Lage und sehr nette Host Familie. Man kann dort direkt ne Kanu Tour buchen und vor der Haustüre los fahren. Man hat viel Platz im Göstebereich, eine Dachtersse und der Kühlschrank ist auch super praktisch :)

L'accueil et l'hospitalité des hôtes sont exemplaires, ma chambre était confortable, le lieu est calme, je n'ai pris que le petit déjeuner mais il était très bon 👍🏻 La balade en canoé était très agréable dans un bateau avec couchette 😁, parfait pour les petits canaux. J'ai même demandé pour pêcher le soir et le matin et ils m'ont prêté le matériel et expliqué les meilleurs appâts et lieux de pêche. Je recommande vivement ce très bon homestay 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Absolutamente todo genial, Rino es un excelente anfitrión amable, atento, súper disponible, te explica todo perfectamente y además un super capitán, consejo a todos de ir con el para hacer los backwater, la casa y la habitación están súper limpias, esta un poco lejos de la playa pero tiene la estación de bus principal y muchos restaurantes cerca. Otro punto a favor es la comida, hecha por la matrona de la casa (super amable y simpatica ella tambien), hemos desayunado y cenado y todo estaba tremendamente rico! Gracias por todo!

The place is calm and beautiful, with a lovely roof terrace to enjoy the sunset. The hosts are incredibly helpful and friendly. We booked a boat trip through the backwaters with them too and it was amazing. Rooms are clean and comfy, AC comes at an extra cost and definitely needed (and worth it). Auto stand just across the canal. Thanks again Rino for everything!

Great Homestay with Great Hosts .Very close to main Alleppey backwater canals .The owner and her sons are more than friendly .They help you with everything connected with backwater journey .For sure you feel at home .

Un accueil tellement chaleureux :notre hôte et son fils font le maximum pour que notre séjour soit exceptionnel. Nous avons vraiment apprécié les échanges , les petits gestes qui font un séjour réussi. Nous n'oublierons jamais le dîner et le petit déjeuner qui en plus d'être copieux, ont été une agréable démonstration de l'art culinaire local . L'emplacement ,entre le canal( avec les bacwaters) et une rizière est très agréable et très calme . A proximité du départ du ferry entre Allepey et Kottayam .

Pas de douche lors de notre passage mais petit détail....

Very friendly, kind and lovely family. Everything was to our full satisfaction. Clean and beautiful house. We have had an outstanding tour into the Backwater. With the relative small boat one to six passengers are brought into the tiniest canals of the village areas where almost no tourists come to.

No complaints.

It was very clean and modern, in a convenient location. Easy walking distance to the bus stand, centre of Alleppey and also near the backwaters. Nice view of the canal and boats going up and down. The family are so warm and welcoming. Rino gave me a great canoe trip through the backwaters.

Not the property’s fault, but there is some wildlife around that woke me up early in the morning.

The property is near KSRTC bus stand, backwaters and tour agencies, so the location is ideal. It's also quiet and you can go to the roof with nice view on rice fields. The owner is very nice and helpful. The room was clean, though I did notice some stains on bedsheets and dust near mosquito nets /windows.

I recommend picking an AC room as it gets unbearably hot in summer months.

Near Market but odd position

Staff is good behaviour , he should keep Minerel water with Chargable, Beacuse if old person difficult go purchase from outside

La localisation est parfaite, située face au canal et pas bruyante, ce qui est un vrai luxe, vous pouvez accéder à plusieurs activités juste à côté. J'ai pu tout faire à pied. . La chambre était très propre, je n'ai pas pris la climatisation mais elle y est. Communication irréprochable Rino vous envoie toutes les informations nécessaires dès votre arrivée. La famille est d'une gentillesse extrême. Rino m'a vraiment sauvé la mise suite à un problème compliqué. Je ne m'attendais pas à autant d'humanité et de générosité. Même si beaucoup de personnes ont fait preuve de générosité depuis que je suis Inde. Cela me touche vraiment.

Rien à dire

Super emplacement Super petit dejeuner avec la maman très gentille Roni toujours disponible pour nous aider à organiser notre séjour

Had a great stay. Location is near enough everything. On the water is special. New house. Very helpful family helped me with all my personal booking I am grateful. The backwater was relaxing comfortable and enjoyable. Near bus station.

The dinner was very simple if you are hungry go eat out. The massage( not the one near the beach) was not worth it. My hair was full of oil after a head massage and my room had no hot water so i had to boil a kettle to wash the oil off but I guess it's part of the experience. .

Nice location, romantic spotless view on the canal, welcoming and helpful owners, safe for solo women traveling. Had a great stay.

The host is just an Amezing person.

The hosts were all very kind and made me feel completely at home. They even helped me plan amazing experiences like the houseboat and kayaking trips, which made my stay unforgettable. Every morning, I enjoyed delicious local breakfast dishes that were truly special. The rooftop and balcony offer beautiful views, perfect for relaxing. This was honestly one of the best homestays I’ve ever had. Thank you so much!

I've been traveling the region for decades and this is my fifth trip to India. As a seasoned traveler it's such a joy to find accommodation like this. The family who run this small place far exceeds the warmth, friendliness, and service I've found anywhere - they're such good people. There's nothing that isn't attended immediately should you require it with the Mimi, Rino, Ronnie, Robbie, and Sona all eager to make sure you're stay is comfortable as possible. The accommodation itself is spotlessly clean, the beds comfortable, the views lovely, the location perfect, the wifi fast...everything is perfect. Fort me, as a person who sometimes has problems with noise, the rooms are great in that the doors, windows etc are built with high quality furbishment making the rooms very quiet. The homestyle meals provided are authentic, tasty, well priced, and an insight themselves into local culture with a wide array of different types of Indian cuisine dished up each day. The value of this place is phenomenal!

it's impossible to find anything to be improved. THIS is the benchmark for what guesthouse accommodation should be!

Excellent location. Fantastic views of the canals. Super clean room. Comfortable with attached bathroom and air conditioning. All required amenities were made available. What made this place stand out is the staff. Family run Homestay. Mother and three sons. All very helpful and friendly, went out of their way to make my stay memorable. Nothing was too much trouble. The mother prepares made to order meals. I am Malayalee and all the dishes were authentic Keralan food. Very accommodating, from check-in to checkout, and bag storage. If I could give a higher than ten rating I would! Highly recommended, don’t think twice to book this place for a smooth, comfortable and relaxing stay.Value for money and very reasonably priced.

Nothing. Everything was perfect!

Everything was perfect. Very clean, very comfortable and so friendly and helpful. The 2 breakfast's were delicious, especially the egg curry and steamed rice. I had long chats over breakfast with Rino,so friendly and thoughtful.

Nothing.

Close to boat jetty as well as bus station. Very friendly and helpful hosts.

All amazing, really kind hosts and really well prepared, really good location

The room was clean and the AC worked well. From the community balcony you have a nice view of the river. They also organized an amazing overnight houseboat tour for us. You shouldn't miss that! It's a little bit far away from the city center, by feet you need 15 min.

Paddy N Cancal is in a good location. They offer a dinner at the homestay which is very good (would highly recommend if you choose to stay). Cold water (20rp) and beers (250rp) available. There is a nice rooftop (Paddy on one side, canal on the other) where you can sit on in the later afternoon to watch the sunset.

The description advertises free bike hire. This was not the case. We had to pay 800pm for 2 bikes that were in terrible condition (I believe they were his niece and nephews bikes). We didn't realise our booking was for a non AC room (not their fault) and the room kept quite hot so if you're choosing to stay here - would recommend getting the AC option.

Very welcoming not only the host, but the whole family. Very clean room and delicious homemade breakfast. We regretted to not stay longer. Highly recommend!

The minute I entered the house, I felt so welcome. The family made me feel at ease straight away. It was so nice being able to chat with them to get to know more about their lives, which was what I was looking for. They are so attentive and will send you lots of info not only about the great authentic tours they can organise but also recommended places to see around and restaurants. I did the sunrise kayak and that was such a wonderful experience. I decided it quite late and the ferry was leaving 5 minutes later, no problem! A quick call to make the ferry wait and in less than 10 minutes and a very short moto ride away and I was inside and someone from the ferry was there to tell me where to stop. I took the ferry back around 19:00 and the person who did the kayak messaged the hosts to let them know I took the ferry. I felt so well looked after. The place itself is very nice, large room and bathroom and the best is the terrace overlooking the canal where you can see life goes by. The homestay is on the village side with gorgeous rice fields. They encouraged me to walk around and that was great. The breakfast was also delicious. If you want to have an authentic stay, don't hesitate, this lovely family will take care of you.

Not to have been able to stay more nights.

Just exceptional 👌

Nothing

Loved everything - attentive hosts, great room and surroundings. Lovely rooftop area for workouts.

The room was clean and had a great view of the canal. The communal fridge and kettle were appreciated. A lovely family run the guesthouse, and we were lucky enough to be invited to the son’s engagement party. The roof is a great place to dry washing and watch a sunset. Very clear check in information. Would stay here again!

Can’t fault it

Great location, clean and spacious homestay, warm and welcoming hosts, delicious home-cooked food.

Rino, his brother Robin and their mother have been amazing hosts. The room is clean and there is an option to have the breakfast and diner, made by their mother. The food was very good. They also arranged for us 2 really great boats tours. We highly recommend to book a stay with them!

Great host. Very informative, helpful and prompt to reply. Not calculative and always lending a helping hand. Good room. Clean, available mosquito repellant, air conditioned. Decent location. Location is near the fire station and a little out of the way if you're planning to walk the town.

Nothing much.

Fantastic views, friendly hosts, nice and quiet.

Nothing

💛💛💛💛

Recently renovated, the property is excellent value. The location is also great, backing onto a canal and within a short walk of the main shops, but far enough away to have peace and quiet. The host Robin is amazing, and always keen to help with whatever you need.

We organized a massage through the homestay and wouldn't recommend it.

I had an amazing tine at Paddy N Canal. Robin and his family were extremely helpful and Mum was so sweet. The room was spacious and the whole property was extremely clean. I was made to feel at home from the minute I walked in. I highly recommend staying at this place if you want to be assured of an excellent stay in Allepey.

There was absolutely nothing not to like about this homestay.

What a find Paddy n Canal Home Stay was. Robin and Rino are great hosts - hospitable and welcoming. They provide a very useful list of everything you need to know while staying there - right down to directions to the house in Malayalam for a tuk tuk driver. The house is spotlessly clean, very comfortable and in a lovely peaceful location beside a canal. I really enjoyed my stay there. Highly recommended.

Nothing

This was truly exceptional. Excellent location in allepey - peaceful, right next to a canal in the front and garden and rice fields in the back. New spotless house. The room had quality insect protection. There was a balcony with comfortable armchairs. The owners were so nice! And the food! Very good breakfast and absolutely delicious kerala dinner. Many different little dishes beautifully presented. The lady of the house could easily run a high class restaurant!

Everything was perfect!

Lovely family - good location.

Amazing property in a peaceful location. Staff have made a very useful online guide with things to do and directions , places to eat etc. which came in handy. Plus the brothers were always there on hand if you needed them. They organised a great kayaking trip and a canoe boat tour the following day - really good value! The mother’s dinner spread was delicious too- don’t skip eating at the home stay!

Nothing, we had everything we need. Perfect stay.

One of my best stays in India, great price for private room. Very new property with good rooms, terraces, and rooftop. extremely warm hosts Rino, robin, and their mom Mini. They are just so welcoming and helpful, and genuinely interested in interacting with the guests. Don’t miss out on their amazing home cooked dinner spread (order the fish pollichathu cooked in banana leaf!!!!) and wonderful local breakfast too. Rino was also so kind to drive me on motorbike to eat dinner late on my night of arrival. I really felt like I was family in their beautiful home.

Nothing

Robin and Rino were really lovely and really helpful during our stay. Their Mother was also very sweet and cooked my husband a lovely breakfast. The hostel is in a great location, between town and the backwaters so it's quiet at night. You can go for a walk around the rice fields which is beautiful. The room was really clean and the bed very very comfy.

Great porch overlooking the canal for sunset. Awesome breakfast

The homestay was wonderful. The room was very comfortable and clean with a nice hot shower. The brothers who run the homestay are very friendly and helpful. Also, you should try the Kerala breakfast, it was delicious and the portion was extremely generous. The property is located on a quiet canal on the edge of the city, which is a great location as it is peaceful and only a stone's throw away from the backwaters! Overall, an amazing place to stay whilst in Alleppey.

The location is great but the staff are what makes this place special

Nothing

We had an amazing time ar the Paddy n Canal Homestay. Robin, his two brothers and his motger were so welcoming and immediately serverd us some Chai upon arrival. During the stay they were always there to help with recommondations and information about Alappuzha. In the morning they would serve some of the best food we had in Kerala. I would definitly recommend staying here!

Nothing, everything was impecable.

Home away from home. Hosted by Robin and his brothers, and their mother who prepares breakfast and enjoys a chat. Opting for a Kerala breakfast is a good introduction to local food. They are happy to assist however they can to make your stay enjoyable. Whether that's arranging to go on a houseboat or canoe, to what there is to see, do or eat.

Very clean, bed extremely comfy, and the two brothers the most helpful hosts we have had in India.

Nothing

Clean and healthy environment. Feeling at home, very nice hospitality. Good food. Very near to the city. Truly enjoyed the place which is very close to the main city surrounded by back waters

Paddy N Canal is absolutely immaculate! It's recently refurbished. I really liked the extra touches and thought that has gone into making the room comfortable. You can also sit on the balcony which overlooks the canal. The location is excellent - five minutes from both the ferry port and bus station. Run by Mum and two sons who are warm and helpful.

Everything was excellent.

Everything was fine

Very good property , canel in the front and paddy field in the back , very peaceful place for stay

Lovely family thanks for all your help throughout my stay wishing them lots of well deserved success

Lovely, confy, quiet, clean, view

Nothing

Lovely stay. Friendly and helpful staff who gave me a lift into town after I checked out. They arranged a really great canoeing trip through the backwaters with their cousin for a very reasonable price - it was so peaceful. There is a rooftop where you can see the canal on one side and paddy fields on the other. Apparently the sunrise is beautiful from up there but I was too lazy to get up that early. There is a communal fridge and cheap bottles of water in it - this was a lifesaver for me. Everything was great.

It’s in a quiet location and it’s very comfortable and quiet. It’s run by two brothers who are really kind and will make you feel at home. They also provided delicious home cooked Keralan breakfasts on request.

Nothing

It was nice experience and best is hospitality

Friendly helpful staff, clean room. Really enjoyed my stay

All good

Quiet neighborhood Great view from the top of the house Local restaurants are very good, you can ask the host about it Room is well equipped, clean Bed is huge, and comfortable, the material of the covers and pillows is good quality Host is friendly, and very helpful for you to have the best of Alleppey Overall would highly recommend, 100% will stay with them the next time I'm in Alleppey

Room is clean and has everything you need. The building has rice fields on one side and a canal on the other side, so the views are stunning from whatever room you book. And Robin is the most helpful person you'll come across, making sure you have everything you need, helping you book tours that fit your wishes and budget, finding the right onwards transportation and giving local recommendations. I'd highly recommend this homestay! Make sure you book the option with AC this time of the year.

Robin and Rino had really thought about the needs of his guests. My room had a very comfortable bed, there was a fridge in common area, a hairdryer and two comfy seats and a small table. Breakfast was substantial with a savoury option plus eggs, toast and tea and coffee. Robin also offered tourist bookings and the tickets he got for us at the theatre were excellent - front row. The accommodation was well placed for a 10 minute walk to a variety of restaurants and there were tuk tuks readily available for longer journeys.
