Pros:

Excellent property and unmatched hospitality! The owner arranged a wonderful canoe tour and a rental scooty for us. The home-made breakfast was truly amazing. It was fascinating to see the owner's 250-year-old original house, which brings real heritage to the island. Peaceful, clean, and highly recommended!

Séjour paradisiaque sur Munroe
Pros:

Jolie maison avec grande chambre et sdb, au calme sur Munroe, à 25 minutes de la gare. Très propre. Délicieux petit déjeuner. Le propriétaire nous a organisé une balade de 3h sur les backwaters que nous avons beaucoup aimée !
Un bon petit restaurant à cent mètres.

Fantastic homestay
Pros:

What a place! Stunning location right in the river. Beautiful greenery and vibrant plants on the property. The room is perfect. New, spacious, clean, comfortable. And suresh and his wife are fantastic hosts! So so lovely and friendly and helpful. We didn’t arrive until about 1am but Suresh was up and waiting for us and wanted to feed us!
The food is delicious as well. Lovely home cooked, local food. And so much of it!!
Perfect Homestay.

Incroyable authenticité, expérience authentique
Pros:

Nous avons passé trois nuits dans cette guest house. Il s’agit d’un cinq étoiles de par l’ambiance et le soin apporté à la relation humaine. Vous serez accueilli comme un membre de la famille. Suresh prendra soin de vous. Il s’assurera que vous vous portez bien. C’est un homme d’une gentillesse immense, très touchante. Attendez-vous à avoir une présence rapprochée, comme un oncle qui vous accueille dans sa maison. Nous avons adoré la personne et la famille tout entière. Besoin d’aller chez le coiffeur ? On vous y emmène ou on vous indique la meilleure adresse. Envie de vous balader sur les canaux avec une pirogue ? Un ami de la famille viendra pour vous y emmener. Sa femme fera du bien à votre estomac, sa cuisine est absolument délicieuse et équilibrée. Les 2 chambres sont parfaites, très simples et très propres et semblent très récentes. Choisissez l’option air conditionné pour quelques roupies de plus.

Considérez cette étape comme une immersion dans une famille indienne, apprenez la culture locale et vivez l’étape backwaters le matin tôt, avant la foule de touristes le soir, pleine d’authenticité. Un tour en pirogue non motorisée vous coûtera 1’500Rs. environ. Petites épiceries à 50m. pour de l’eau ou autres. Restaurant à 5min. de marche.

Il y a peu de choses à visiter à Munroe Island mais il y a beaucoup à vivre. Prenez le temps, vivez à un rythme reposant. C’est l’endroit idéal, une étape authentique que vous n’oublierez jamais.

Merci Suresh. Merci la famille.

Cons:

Rien. Tout parfait.

Kind hosts and very comfortable room 😌
Pros:

Generally lovely family. Very comfortable large bed. Nice and spacious. Little table outside the door. Home cooked food. Near the temple 🛕 and across the road is the riverside for boat tours. Don't forget to say hello to hari, the pub he's super timid and needs love ❤️

Cons:

There isn't a lot of privacy, and the road can be heard.

Pros:

We had a lovely time at Suresh’s place. He went to every effort to make we sure we had a good time, and arranged competing and biking for us around the island. The food was also delicious and some of the best we’ve had in India!

Exceptional
Pros:

A lovely family with whom to stay in a relatively new concrete bungalow across the street from the river, where the backwater canoe trip picks you up. Good sized room and bath with excellent hot water. A nice porch on which to eat excellent home-cooked meals for breakfast and dinner (dinner costs extra).

Cons:

Not a lot of English spoken (wasn't a problem for us but might be for some guests). As is typical of many Indian home stays: can someone please create light switches that correspond to some logic in the room 😉
