Get in company with the boatmen. They will cook the most wonderful food ever. 2. Ask them to get fresh shrimps (prawn)... More

At the start of Kerala trip, from Kochi to Alleppey, we landed at the jetty for a 1N stay at this houseboat - The Dream. This was booked by my cousin well in advance for us. We asked him to join us for this trip as well to which he willingly obliged. The houseboat was really stunning with all the... More

We were on the boat with 3 families and all of them were really enjoying. Kids... More

The utility water was salty. Air condition and TV connection were provided during night time. The guys in the boat were friendly. The food menu was a... More

It is the best way till date I have had to cool off all the tensions and worries in life. The boat just keeps cruising along the waters and you feel like you are in best place in the world. The quality of food was good. Enjoyed the stay here. Quality of the houseboat could have been better.

We stayed on the 3 bedroom houseboat for Christmas Eve and had a wonderful stay. We were a group of 2 families and we did request an extra bed in one of the rooms which was thankfully there. It was so relaxing and the staff was amazing. The food was also very good. When you first arrive it is a... More

My family of four spent one night on of Mr. Joffy's houseboats and we should have extended it to a additional night - our experience was that amazing. His (very new) boat and crew provided us with day beds to view the scenic routes, very comfortable A/C rooms during the night and a 'feast' for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I... More

The whole concept of roaming around the city and staying on a houseboat is amazing..much like Venice in India !!! The services are nice. Clean rooms along with good food served on the houseboat itself by the staff...helps gain a new perspective of the city visited

I cannot recommend these houseboat type cruises highly enough, it is such fun to be on for example how many times does the Captain of your cruise ship ask if you would like to drive for a while while he helps the crew provide a sumptuous dinner, oh well maybe on Costa they do! Seriously though it is so relaxed... More
