Sehr schöne Unterkunft in den Backwaters.
Pros:

Wir waren mit insgesamt 4 Personen für 3 Nächte dort, und haben keine Minute bereut.
Sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Familie.
Sehr leckeres Frühstück und Abendessen.
Wir hatten uns die Kajaks ausgeliehen und sind durch die näheren Backwaters gehandelt.
Früh morgens haben wir eine sehr interessante Bootsfahrt (sun raise) mit einem 6 Personen Boot durch die Backwaters gemacht.
Es gab unglaublich viele Vögel, und immer kleinere Bäche durch die große Hausboote nicht fahren können.
Zusätzlich wäre auch eine Tour auf einem großen Hausboot möglich gewesen.
Die Vermieterin hat uns auch zu 2 Mopeds/Roller verholfen, mit denen wir selbst die Gegend erkunden konnten.
Alles in allem die volle Punktzahl.
Unbedingt empfehlenswert.

Cons:

Nix.

Pros:

Tout ! Accueil, maison décorée, chambre avec vue sur canal alors que nous avions réservé une autre chambre, le dîner vraiment excellent, le "sunset cruise " du soir avec tous les oiseaux, l'aide pour trouver notre house boat...un de nos meilleurs hébergements jusqu'ici au Kerala. Merci.

Séjour idyllique dans cette magnifique maison typique indienne très belle et tres confortable!
Pros:

Nous avons tout adoré , l’accueil de Divya, de son mari Dileep et de ses magnifiques filles , la beauté de la maison , son confort , la localisation exceptionnelle, la nourriture excellente et copieuse que nous avons choisi , les 2 tours en bateaux privés pour voir les oiseaux au lever du soleil et dîner sur leur grand bateau au coucher du soleil . Nous étions comme des rois , heureux , il ne manquait rien . Également l’institut ayurvedique est incroyable , j’y suis retournée deux jours de suite et je vous recommande le package ayurvedique complet et le massage aux herbes du corps et du visage .

Mango Kerala House
Pros:

What a very relaxing holiday with plenty to do for few days.
Take advantage of the offer of sunrise boat trip and the village trip . We experienced both and really enjoyed them.
The homestay is in a beautiful position on the lake and you can watch the boats go by.
We had lovely meals here and coffee was offered often .
We sat out and rested on balcony which was very comfotable too.
The family really make you feel at home.

Feels like home, great atmosphere and easy organisation of activities. Would highly recommend
Pros:

Great balcony area, large rooms and beautiful exterior. Easily accessible by car and the hosts are happy to organise tuktuks to take you to the town centre if you so wish. Bonus was the festival going on in the town during our stay at the temple, locals were welcoming to us joining in which was such a brilliant experience.

Cons:

Nothing.

Stunning location, wonderful hospitality and good value
Pros:

I loved everything about Mango Kerala Homestays - the beautiful spacious property itself (my room was very comfortable and generously proportioned with gorgeous walk-on wide terrace outside), the stunning location and setting, and the kindness warmth and friendliness of Divya and her husband and daughters. On arrival she said “treat this as your home” which was a lovely message to hear. On the first evening Divya supplied a delicious dinner and breakfast was also very good. I was so impressed with everything and the beautiful location that I stayed an extra night

Cons:

There was nothing I didn’t like. Perhaps a kettle in the room to make some tea/coffee would be nice but I think it would have been supplied if I’d asked. Certainly the tea / coffee made at Mango Kerala was delicious.

Très bien situé, nous avons vraiment aimé ce homestay. Nous avons eu une chambre spacieuse, très propre avec vue sur le canal, très calme avec de très bons petits déjeuners.Nous avons aussi apprécié l'accueil des propriétaires, leur gentillesse, leur aide pour différentes activités. Sans oublier la croisière d'une journée sur leur houseboat.. inoubliable !!!
