Provider-sourced guest reviews.
The location is ideal for the sunrise viewing of the water lilies. Very peaceful and breezy. Perfect for small groups or a family outing. Excellent service provided by Sajith who was very helpful and organised the one hour boat tour
Would be nice to have a few utensils and plates in the room for in house snacking
Serene stay adjacent to the beautiful backwaters of Kumarakom.
Went to this location for pre wedding photoshoot amongst the lotus flowers. It's a very beautiful hotel. The host helped us arrange a taxi for the airport. He was very helpful and nice.
Nothing.
Excellent well maintained property .very courteous staff. Will visit again.
Everything was good no complaints.
Location and its ambience.
The area needs further expansion if possible. The place is just enough. But it’s ok.
We had a wonderful stay, thanks to Sajith's exceptional hospitality. From the moment we arrived, he was warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive to our needs. He provided excellent local recommendations that helped us make the most of our visit and went above and beyond by arranging a fantastic boat ride for us. His kindness, responsiveness, and thoughtful assistance made our experience truly memorable. Even the breakfast was home made and fantastic. We highly recommend staying with Sajith and would gladly return in the future.
The rooms were spacious and the bathroom was awesome, but due to on going electricity issues we were shifted to the next room. So the staff genuinely helped. However check with the electricity and AC situation as they have 1 staff. Alos, not of any fault of property insects are a problem and you should listen to the staff on guidelines to keep them out (dont keep your doors open as ther eis a lake near by and inscets in the bedroom can be a thing)
Good view ,peaceful atmosphere, privacy💯 Also the
The breakfast and view was great
Accessibility to closeby stores or the city commute
Calm place
Nothing
Ok
Garden
Flusshaltestelle in 100 m Nähe nach Alleppey Gute Ausstattung im Zimmer
Leider war der Gastgeber sehr penetrant, wenig Rücksicht auf Privatsphäre. Es gab sehr häufig stromausfälle. Badezimmermöbel marode. Smart TV hat nicht funktioniert. Frühstück nach der ersten Nacht sehr reichlich, jedoch nach der zweiten nur noch die Hälfte bzw sparsam.
Personnel sympas, accès ç la mangrove.
Obligation d'un paiement en cash (contraire indiqué sur le site Booking). Petit déjeuner passable. Accès moyen.
We loved the cleanliness, ambiance and most importantly the hospitality provided by Sajith.
Nothing. Every was exceptional.
Ottima la colazione tipica preparata con cura!! location bellissima e Sajith è un grande host pronto ad aiutarti per qualsiasi necessità 🤩
We had a wonderful stay and truly enjoyed every moment. The property was clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. A special thanks to the manager Sajith for their exceptional hospitality and attention to detail — they made us feel genuinely welcomed and cared for. Highly recommended, and we would love to return!
Location, peaceful and beautiful views. Hotel manager was excellent.
None
The location was perfect, the host was amazing, the view was beautiful, the room was at its best and the service was off the charts
the roads leading to the hotel are not yet built, please look into it
C'est une maison construite uniquement pour la location de chambres. La chambre est vaste et confortable et cette maison est à l'abri de tous les bruits.
La maison est dans un coin paumé, Google maps vous donne le chemin le plus compliqué pour y accéder . Vous êtes loin de tout , un jeune homme en moto vous dépanne pour aller chercher un repas pour le soir
Remote location, quiet and serene
The road there is a bit rough but worth the little extra effort
The location and how peaceful it is
Nothing much, all was good !
The property was neat, clean and well located, right opposite the backwaters. The breakfast was simple, homely and delicious. Host Sajith was very friendly and understanding. He was always just a call away. Overall, our stay was very pleasant and enjoyable at Paadam
The property is really good and we'll maintained. Staff was very helpful. Surroundings are peaceful and serene.
Wir waren rundum zufrieden. Lage an den Backwaters und den Reisfeldern. Sajith hat uns mit allem versorgt, angefangen vom Abendessen bis zu Getränken. Die Buchung eines Bootes klappte prima. Fahrräder sind vorhanden. Und das. Beste ist die absolute Ruhe.

It was a pleasant stay at paadam, calm and serene, felt like home away from home..staff were really courteous and helpful especially Sajith.
Nothing to dislike all likes only for this beautiful place.
Calm, tidy surroundings. But approach road is a bit risky to drive in a car.
Everything was good.
Le logement a été fait récemment, les équipements sont encore tout neufs. On dort vraiment dans les backwaters, au plus près des canaux, des rizières, des oiseaux C’était très pratique d’avoir un quai d’embarquement / débarquement du ferry qui mène à Allepey à 30 mètres du logement. La navigation dure 2 heures et ça permet un bon aperçu des backwaters.
Pour dîner, pas d’autre solution que de prendre le tuk tuk
Nothing
Not cooperating
Beautiful surroundings and the room was well laid out
No facilities in the room. There were coffee packets, milk powder, sugar but no tea, no cups no stirrers. No food. Very poor road to access the property
Paadam by the Backwaters is a small, beautifully done 3-room resort located close to the backwaters and surrounded by lush paddy fields. When we visited, the fields were filled with water, giving the serene feeling of being surrounded by nature on all sides. The rooms were spotless and equipped with all the necessary amenities. Food delivery from Swiggy and Zomato was quick and convenient, around 30 to 45 minutes. A special mention to Sujith, the manager, who made us feel completely at home. He was always available for any help and even went out of his way to get us things from outside, truly exceptional hospitality! We stayed for one night and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Definitely planning to come back again!
A few small points to note, Few mosquitoes entered the room at night, which was a bit disturbing, but I later realized that the Goodnight mosquito repellent machine was not switched on (my mistake). Keeping the doors closed at night is a must. The pillows were slightly thick; a thinner option would have been more comfortable. The approach road to the property is narrow, and the last 100 meters are gravel. You might not get the best vibe while approaching, but once the gate opens and you see the resort, you’ll instantly feel happy you came.
The location, Room and amenities.
Beautifully unique location on a narrow, potholey road beside a backwater canal and surrounded by paddy fields and locals’ homes. I hidden gem to say the least. Host Sajith truly goes above and beyond for his guests through not just his genuine kindness but also special efforts to insure we well cared for. The gate, fencing, and multiple locks on doors insured safety, and the carefully manicured lawn and trees gave the property a true oasis feel. I would be comfortable staying here as a single woman (I stayed here with my fiancé).
There was truly nothing I didn’t like about the property personally. However, I could see the rough, single-vehicle wide road being a deterrent for some.
The place and location is unique and beautiful. The surroundings are quite scenic too. The rooms are tastefully and minimalistically designed. Beds are clean and comfy.
Breakfast is quite pricey and I would avoid booking the boat trip through them.
Great place to be in, calm and peaceful. Friendly staff.
Awesome ambiance. Located near Malarikkal the Keukenhoff of India. Last mile access is bumpy
Expanse, clean, lot of water bodies, spacious rooms, well lit, well ventilated. Good quality bathroom fittings
This is a beautiful property and the helper Sajith was really helpful.
The stay was cozy, Sajith was very accommodating and was present for late check-out also.The stay was scenic and comfortable with basic amenities. Malarikkal view point is just 1km away and Sajith arranged for the boating at a nominal cost. Breakfast was good too.
Neat Rooms and Property, Aldo note the images in the add are post rainy season , during rainy season its a different scenario and different ambience. I have added images during rainy season
Could have added Kayaking Facility, now a days its available though out Alappuzha and Kottayam backwaters
The place is amazing, the field was underwater, but for me, it was like having a private lake. Sajith was nice and helpful, going beyond to make our visit the most comfortable possible!
We stayed at Paadam by Backwater for two nights, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The beauty of the place and its serene atmosphere are beyond words – it's the perfect escape if you're looking to relax and reconnect with nature. A special mention must go to Mr. Sajith for his outstanding hospitality. From the moment we checked in, he made sure we were comfortable and well taken care of. His dedication and warm service truly made our stay even more special. Highly recommended – this place is a hidden gem that everyone should experience at least once!
Hospitality from the caretaker, environment was raw but still the flood was funny to experience. Sajith was amazing
Due to floods not very easy to access
Excellent customer service by the Manager Mr.Sajith..wish to come again and again ..
Didnt like to leave the place so early .
Room was very good. View was good. Very clean. The caretaker Sajith was very sensitive to our needs.
Last 200 meter road was bumpy and untarred. Not that it is too bad, but tricky.
Such a great location to stay, place was clean and calm. Sajith was very nice, gave us good information about the local areas to visit and always responsive. Overall Great service
It was such a calm and peaceful experience and Sajith who takes care of the property was really kind and friendly . Would go to the place for the hospitality and kindness of the people around the property . Thank you
Excellent stay option for who looking for a quite,peacefull atmosphere to relax!! And most of all,caretaker Sajith is an impressive host ,very friendly and very polite,such a gem ❤️🔥
We had a great time at Paadam by the backwaters. Sajith was an amazing host. We did the morning tour in the beautiful backwaters and had a nice indian breakfast afterwards. If you want to have a calm break in the nature from all the hustle in the city, the place is perfect for a relaxing time.
Loved the place with paddy fields around, mango trees, cotton & coconut trees. The caretaker, is very nice and takes care of everything nicely.
Secluded little spot with a great ambience. It’s a treat to have that view and the backwaters right outside. Sajith was very helpful and checked on everything through out the stay.
The lights outside at night are quite bright and the pillows are too big to sleep on. Had to use the cushion.
Calm and beautiful place.clean rooms.
Even though the place is good some inappropriate and unprofessional behaviour from staff was uncomfotrtable.( Like trying to open the door suddenly and interfering personal space too much) So overall experience was not okay.
Great location and ambience..very quiet place..the rooms are designed with a really good aesthetic sense..and the property is super clean and tidy..we loved the breakfast..the lush green fields in front of the property, the soothing chirping sounds of the birds, the gentle breeze, the backwaters nearby.. everything together gave us a beautiful unforgettable experience.😇
We had to leave by 6.40am & they could not serve bfast and they were ordering from a home in that remote location which will be ready only by 8am.
The location was so horrible and access roads were unbearable and pictures shown in booking .com were totally misleading and totally disappointed, Rate charged seems extreamly high and would expect 50% refund to my given card details.
Calm and quite location best suitable for an urban escape.
There is no restaurant in the property or nearby.Food except breakfast has to be ordered from delivery apps.
The room and the bathroom were clean. The bed was comfortable. The approach road to the places was a bit difficult, the final 100m stretch was really bad. We didn't have the breakfast, so I can't comment. The caretaker Sajith was a nice and helpful person. He arranged an early morning boot ride from the please. We enjoyed the sunrise and the ride. Overall we enjoyed the stay...

Nature look
No fridge no bathroom tissue rolls provide no lunch and dinner options
Super friendly and welcoming host, everything was exactly as described. Loved the place, and the scenery was so peaceful and pleasant.
The place is a paradise if you love to stay away from a busy worklife. It was a heaven in the middle of paddy fields. I would highly recommend this place who likes to enjoy the calmness! Also not to miss out the boat trip you can take on the early mornings. Sajith the caretaker is very helpful!
Very clean and spacious
Mosquitoes
Paadam by the Backwaters is a beautiful property nestled in a wonderful setting that provides a quintessential glimpse into the life of the Kuttanad region. While the property on the whole presents a traditional vibe, the facilities on offer feel very current and state of the art. The rooms are spacious, well-furnished and comfortable. The landscape is impeccably maintained and the outdoor space is as good as the interiors. Sajith, the staff who looks after the property was friendly and ever ready to help. The location is easy to find for Swiggy and Zomato personnel, so arranging food is not a hassle. Special thanks also to Rejin, who was the boat driver for the boat tour of the Vembanad backwaters and lake, which was arranged for us by Sajith. He was a well-versed local guide, and our conversations with him taught us a lot about the local flora, fauna and ways of life. On the whole, Paadam by the Backwaters is a wonderful getaway spot to visit with family, friends, or for some quality time by oneself.
It was a bit of a shocker to know that the property currently does not accept Credit Card payment and all payments, including the room booking had to be cleared using Google Pay at the end. I wish that is something that had been informed in prior so that we could have been better prepared. Also, requesting the property owner to enable a card payment facility at the earliest so that future travellers won't face this inconvenience. It would help if an electric bat / insect repellant incense or spray is provided in the rooms as there are a lot of tiny insects that enter the room at night when we open the door.
Calm and serene place... Good for relaxation ! Sajit the caretaker was very well available. Good service!
The property was well maintained and very beautiful .. had the experience of both paddy fields and backwaters. The care taker Sajit was very helpful.
Coffee was good, staff very helpful, enjoyed the use of a bicycle Room very clean and big. Everything was newly done. Sajith was very helpful in organising rickshaws and recommending a local restaurant for us.
It’s quiet and away from the commercialization of backwaters!! The internet was good which actually gives sometime to sit and work. Sajith the caretaker was very nice and he helped us arrange a small ride in the shikara in backwaters.
This is for the management, could develop a SPA for the guests, some activities.
The ambience and the location
The road to the location - last 500m
The stay was amazing. The location is prime. Enjoyed the stay....the care take Sajith played a good host and was on his toes if we needed any thing. Would highly recommend this homestay and I will surely want to visit back again.
The properties located in such a beautiful area with canal lanes on one side and paddy field on the other side. Very clean. The care taker is also very helpful and was available 24/7 for all the needs and supports.
