The Alleppey Backwater Cruise (1D/1N) by itself was a very good , … .. a wonderful experience!! (This was our second such cruise, the first one being 7 years ago.) The food served was also very tasty authentic Kerala cuisine.
But the HouseBoat that was provided was very pathetic. We had booked through MYHOUSEBOATS.COM and paid 9K for a 2 bedroom deluxe. The HB was operated by MINDCRUISER (Boat No.2). When we checked-in the HB seemed okay. But after the cruise began, many problems surfaced.
BALAGOPAL Traveller MANNARKAD I 05/08/2018
Good coordination before cruise began.
Good service
1. Promised boat was not provided.
2. Food was not up to the mark.
3. Boat break down mid waters, another boat was brought , which stopped after 50 meters due to no diesel, and then transferred to a country boat. Very risky indeed.

Boat quality was good.
Cooking staff were very bad. They should be trained first how to talk with guests first. Food is very limited &a quality is not Upto the mark.One manager should be there to keep a close eye on all the activities.

It was very nice to stay here. Loved it !!!! (Ultra Luxury)
Over all the Experience with House boat arranged was good. House boat was ready for us by the time we reached. It was clean and maintained well. The Crew was friendly in nature and their behavior was good.
Few things can be improved.Crew can be more professional right from cleaning the things.Sight seeing was the major draw back as no major places were covered.Water quality in the boat can be improved.
Mohamed Rizwan Traveller Bangalore 04/14/2017
Houseboat service was good. The boat staff was very friendly and polite. The meal provided by cook was excellent. Rooms are clean and well maintained. Ambieance of houseboat was good. The agent who provided the boathouse , gave proper info about boathouse and activites. Overall myhouseboats.com provided the complete service as mentioned in itinerary. We enjoyed our stay at boathouse and would recommend others to book from myhouseboat.com
Mosquito spray or repellent should be provided in each room as there will be lot of mosquitoes.
MD Tahir Traveller Bangalore 04/13/2017

Staff should serve with smile and food quality is very very poor the taste like road side poor they prepare food only chilly powder and oil then boils and serve it) its totally stupid staff and cook
Great experience, Chef Rajesh, Caption Abhilash were excellent. Food ,service , hospitality was amazing. This was a home away from home on the water. Houseboat was fantastic.
sreedhar Traveller hyderabad 04/02/2017
Boat house was clean and covered with glass ..we had a upper deck for spending some happy hours..service was good ..
Food was worst..boat house team was reluctant in helping us for cooking..bad experience..not worthy enough for what you pay..washroom had some repairs.

Toilet must be maintained. Quality of water must be checked regularly. Fishing must also be included as an activity.
Arun S Traveller Bangalore 03/04/2017
I was very much satisfied with the stay in Boathouse. The Boat house quality and food quality were good. The House boat staff were very cooperative as well. Overall, satisfied with my stay.
there was a TV, it was just a TV with a DVD player (& few DVD's). I was expecting a TV with cable connection
I enjoyed a lot in the houseboat . It's really a new experience . The crew members provided me good services. I will surely come again , if possible and also suggest others to go to the Myhouseboat.com !!! Thank you very much for providing me a new experience of life in your houseboat.
It will be good if you provide candle light dinner facilities in the houseboat .

Prashanth T R Traveller Bangalore 01/26/2017
Food was superb and the staff was awesome.Boat is very good but still they can improve by providing balcony. Rooms are not spacious. Water used in the toilets is from the sea.They need to use a fresh borewell water for toilet use. It was very difficult for us to take shower.
Use borewell water for bathroom usage. Rooms should be still more spacious.
