Had a very pleasant stay, The staff was also very helpful and I loved it. See u soon.

Superbe endroit la photo est la réalité. Le lieu est idéal pour ce reposer loin des bruits de la route et de la ville. Lorsqu’on sort de la propriété on est tout de suite au bord d’un petit canal ombragé et bordé de quelques habitations. C’est calme et vraiment charmant. Le personnel est vraiment gentil et très attentionné. On vous propose une promenade de 2 h sur les canaux à 6:00 am avec le levé du soleil c’est extraordinaire. Vraiment à recommander pour qui cherche un petit luxe proche de la nature avec toute la gentillesse du personnel. Bravo à ce centre!

Juste que ce n’était pas facile de trouver le lieu mais nous avons téléphoné et on est venu nous chercher.

Over all good. With kids options was less.but they are dping renovation.

Renovation was going on and its not highlighted while booking.bathroom hot water was not working.

It was a new built resort that is upcoming. The ambience and cleanliness of the room was good. The deluxe room had all the facilities and it was in excellent condition.

There’s still construction that’s ongoing but that wasn’t a huge inconvenience. Amenities weren’t provided correctly- the soap dispenser was filled with water and not soap. We had to ask for the soap,shampoo, lotion!

Charmant accueil. Bon petit déjeuner indien. Chambre propre, je recommande

The resort is very clean and comfortable. We had an amazing Kerala style breakfast and dinners, it was delicious. The location is perfect, along the canal, peaceful and close to the train station. Sivan, the manager, was very kind, helped us organize a boat tour, and made our stay easy. They also have kayaks and can provide massages if you're interested. Thank you to all the kind staff who took care of us! Highly recommend this place.

The property is at a good location. It has a nice outside spaces at the property and the rooms have modern designs. The staff is very helpful to organize excursions and get different recommendations.

Clean, staff are friendly and respond to requests, food was nice.

Sivan the manager and his staff did everything they could to make our stay as enjoyable as possible! The dinner at the hotel was delicious. It’s an old Kerala house that has been totally renovated so the main building is actually very charming. They are building, so in a year or too it will be much bigger.

Only things I would have liked was a shower screen or curtain, despite rooms being modern - bathroom has Indian style open shower. Also tea/coffee making facilities would be a nice touch as breakfast is served from 0830.

A beautiful property. Currently, a new construction is being added, but this didn't disturb us. Lovely staff, so helpful and friendly. The food was amazing. The activities organised on 9ur behalf were very good. Sivan, the manager, was excellent.

I would love a kettle to make my own tea or coffee.

We had a great experience—good service, good food, and a comfortable stay. The highlight of our trip was the early morning sunrise boating that they arranged for us. We enjoyed the peaceful ride for about two hours, and it was truly memorable. Also, we had mistakenly left our ID proofs at the office, but the manager promptly contacted us when he found them and couriered them to us without any delay. We’ve received them now—really appreciate the honest and efficient service!

We had an amazing stay here! The rooms and clean and cool, the breakfast was also filling and tasty. They organised an evening canoe tour for us as well as lending us their kayaks in the morning to explore the island. The best part of our trip, however, was the fishing trip the owner organised for us. The usual fisherman they use was away so he went out of his way to organise the trip with two other local fishermen. It was really fun and we had fresh mangoes whilst spending many hours in the river exploring. I would defo recommend this place to anyone!

This place was everythigg no we wanted in Munroe island. The room was immaculate and staff were so helpful. Sivan made sure we had everything we needed. The food there was really really good and very fairly priced with a large array of options. We were also able to do our laundry there. Highly recommend.

Good location, Delicious food

None

Friendly and nice staff!

This house did the job for our stay. We loved the area and the house was comfortable.

We were dissapointed with the room as we booked a deluxe room and on our arrival were clearly given the double standard room. We ask at reception and he told us we had the deluxe room but this did not correspond with the booking.com photos.

We came for my birthday and it was absolutely lovely. The food was phenomenal and the even made me a local Keralan style cake on my wife’s request! We also did a boat ride around the backwaters which was great fun. So good, would absolutely recommend.

Everything about the property was excellent, but there’s not much else around - we were disappointed by the other restaurants in the area.

Nice place on Monroe island. Nice canoe trip. Nice food.

1 The resort is in the village neighborhood and so you get to see the villagers' daily lives at the island 2 The resort is built in traditional Keralan architectural style and it is very beautiful at night 3 Mr Shivan and staffs are attentive and welcoming. You get to order local cuisine at the hotel which is very convenient especially for dinner where the island gets very dark. I had the Karimeen and it was delicious 4 There are many activities you can choose from. I went for kayaking in the canals. It was quite challenging as the canals are narrow and there are many low bridges and other canoes plying the waters. But I had a lot of fun.

The roads leading to the resort are not tarred and not car-conducive. The best way to come here is by train stopping at Munroturuttu.

Located on the Monroe Island, right on the boating canals that lead to the Ashtamudi lake. I really enjoyed the stay, the bost ride, the friendliness of the staff and the amazing lady who prepared the most delicious Kerala cuisine. It was like staying with a family. They took the extra mile to make it a memorable stay, leaving me a bit sad on leaving. Heartily recommend!

No hot water

No hot water

The room was clean and the manager was helpful. Overall a nice well maintained property. Boat rides are very near by and manager can easily arrange that that. Overall I was satisfied with the property and services. In the morning they served tasty breakfast also free of charge.

The property is brand new and rooms’ quality one of the highest we found in Kerala. Great location near the canals for canoeing and kayaking. Good restaurant available for lunch and dinner. Great value for money.

Very modern and new, good location, food tasty

As of November 2024 there is a construction site at the resort. They are building a pool and a side house. Therefore it is noisy during the day when you might want to relax. There was mold in the bathroom.

Modern room in a modern property, friendly staff provides boating experience starting right next to the property, good breakfast

Got some ants crawling on a bed, a dose of mosquito repellent around the area kept them away

This is a wonderful stay, the manager was very kind. The room didn’t disappoint with the standard ‘million light switches’ to fathom out- so common in India. The room was very, very nice and we loved the wrap around Veranda. (never saw the bath robes and the toiletries turnedout to be ‘leftovers’ plus the standard bar of green soap) Went out kayaking with a guide from the hotel which was fabulous. Food is available at the hotel which is reasonably priced. But delivered at a glacial pace. We stayed for four days which was probably too long.

Well, not withstanding the fact that we wondered why we had come to the Island at all…..there is nothing here and given that we were off to Alleppy straight afterwards (station is 9 mins walk away and the ticket is 20p, it takes two hours)….there wasn’t really anything to moan about. However, there is some building work going on. When the listing says the property has a pool, you’ll know they’ve finished

Phantastic stay! Calm, nice room, very tasty food and an exceptional and helpful host.

Nothing!

It was in a calm location . No disturbance and with well trained staff . Cool stay

Very clean, excellent rooms and very spacious. 10/10 recommend

Good property with good customer support

Superb and neat trust me you wont regret booking kalloos staffs were so friendly… trust me best property you will get at this price

Liked the stay, room, ambience

mosquito threats, bathroom is closed with no exhaust fan, if the ventilation is opened, mosquitos come in. The room door has a big gap to the floor once closed

The property was lovely and clean and the staff were super helpful. They arranged a boat trip for us in the morning which was amazing to see the sunrise and cooked a delicious dinner

Nice stay

Nothing as such

Nice

The property is by gar rhe best Ive come across till date. The staff contacted me,gave me location and enquires our meals prederences even before wecojld check in. The ataff made our stay very comfortable and made us feel ar home. Their behaviour and eagerness to make our aty comfortable gives this property full marks. The room was spic and span, the linen clean ans fresh, the toileteries very frugl yet of good quality. We will be staying here whenevwr we come to Monroe Island Backwaters. Special thanks to Mr Sivan, Mr Kuttan,the cheff and other support staff. Cheers and well done. Please keep up the good work, it made our head rise up in awe and respect to the Property owner.

The approach from main road needs sign postings to help out of Kollam visitors.

I like the rooms, ambiance and service offered by them. Top much

The food! It is just brilliant. The clams fry and the prawns roast were among the best Indian dishes I've ever had. In the mornings the local fishermen pull up in their canoes in the canal just outside the window and the chef buys what's fresh and good for dinner so availability differs from day to day. It is lovely to sit on the balcony and eat, looking out over a small canal. We rented one of the kayaks, they have a 1, 2 and 3 seater kayak. Though we got quite lost in the network of canals, this was one of the highlights of our Indian holiday. We saw kingfishers, egrets, brahminy kites and loads of other birds as well as lots of fish jumping out of the water and 2 different small kinds of snakes swimming. Everyone working at Kalloos Island is very friendly and efficient and communication via WhatsApp before arrival was great.

We did a canoe trip and we really enjoyed it. However for the sunrise trip there were quite a few other canoes, especially at the mangrove tunnel, and we were there in low season in March. If you want the place a bit more to yourself I would suggest going out after everyone returns from the sunrise trip at 8:30 even though it will be a bit hotter. It would be great if they offered a canoe trip looking at birds.

Clean and comfortable, all the fittings were working and good condition

No kettle and no beer nearby

The privacy and the team that was very respectful. Very clean

Good management system

Clean modern facilities, staff welcoming and helpful with ongoing travel plans. They offer their own private sunrise and sunset cruises going right from the hotel. Food on site was excellent.

Nothing, they are planning to install a pool, which would be a valuable addition to the facilities.

Nice place and silence. Friendly staff and all good love it 😘😘😘 food also good

Silence please

Ambiance and well behaved staff

Very neat and clean resort. Food is also good. Staff was very helpful.

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Kalloos Island Backwater Resort, and it was an experience we'll cherish. The hotel is quite new, and we had the unique opportunity to be among the first guests to enjoy some of its facilities. What struck us immediately was the attention to detail in the hotel's finishes, which exuded a sense of luxury and comfort. The food was a highlight of our stay – simply outstanding. We recommend asking for recommendations to savor the local dishes and the freshest seafood. It's a culinary journey you wouldn't want to miss! Having traveled around India for over a month, we can confidently say that Kalloos Island Backwater Resort stands out in terms of price-quality ratio. It's definitely one of the better places we've stayed in. The host deserves a special mention for their exceptional service. They were always on hand to ensure we were well taken care of and made us feel incredibly welcomed. The host went above and beyond by arranging sunset and sunrise boat tours, and we even enjoyed kayaking. The convenience of setting off right from the property's gate was a fantastic bonus. In summary, our stay at Kalloos Island Backwater Resort was nothing short of wonderful. It’s a place we would eagerly return to and highly recommend to others looking for a luxurious and comfortable stay with a touch of adventure.

Beautiful place with a calm atmosphere and comfort. The boat trip was fantastic.

Very beautiful property, it's like a homestay. Neat and clean room and has very good and hospitable staff who will ensure all your needs are taken care of. Very good place for families and couples.

The approach road to the property via Google Maps is not very accurate, especially the last 500 mts. Please check with the property manager to get the correct direction via a better approach road.

Extremely well maintained property with excellent staffs who are friendly and helpful. There is also option to do kayaking in the canals and lake at competitive prices.

Everything about it. Staff/Cook were all very accomodating, polite and sweet. We were well informed about which route to take. The premises and the stay was perfect blend of resort and home stay. Rooms were clean, spacious and comfortable. The Canoe boating from right outside the gate of the resort was a truly amazing experience. Would recommend this resort for any type of group or solo for any number of days! The food we had for dinner and breakfast were delicious 😍

The food was prepared as per our requirement and was very tasty. The food was Kerala style with less spicy as per our requirement. The fish was fresh as it was from their own farm and duck preparation was also good.

Ambience

Staff meet the standars of hospitality. Was so pleasent and feel welcomed
