The waterfront view was exceptional from the balcony. The staff were helpful and eager to please all round. However, the room house keeping was less than optimal. On one day the room cleaning was missed entirely even when the “Please clean the room” sign was on display all day outside the room. That said, we still plan to return to Niraamaya Resort Kumarakom in the future.

This was one of the worst resorts that I have every stayed at… People cant speak English in the resort… extremely bad management .. Very bad reception and welcome on the first day.. i left the resort in one day … i left the property in one day.. I expect a refund for the remaining 4 nights .. THIS IS NOT A 5 STAR PROPERTY.. please get your facts straight .. more than half the property was empty.. whats on their website is misleading.. I am extremely unhappy and disappointed with Expedia for having suggested this place as a 5 star property..

Extremely poorly managed hotel. Staff are the most unhelpful bunch (during my stay in Kerala, I stayed in 4 different locations and hotels and this was the only one I regret). There are flies everywhere of the backwaters but the hotel do not manage that well. Food option during breakfast were limited and of poor quality. This is more like a 3 star hotel

Relaxing gem!!!
The hotel was excellent. It is an extremely relaxing place where the staff are very attentive and can’t do enough for you. The food is excellent and there is a variety to accommodate all tastes. We stayed in Achenkovil and the room was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed. I would highly recommend this hotel if you are in the area.

The staff is incredible. Property is a bit dated. Dining option is only one but they are excellent Ala Cart. Buffet was lacking. Also Rude guests who I first hand witnessed dipping their hand into an open dishware that was set up for buffet. All and all, great property for any type of Ayurvedic massages. The spa area was excellent and staff was just pure bliss. Cannot say more nice things about the staff from the front desk, spa and groundskeepers. Beautiful views of the backwaters.
