I booked Cosy Houseboats thro their website cosytours.com which is routed thro kerala houseboats. Kerala Houseboats has got good reviews. So we were mislead. Cosy Houseboats shattered the dreams we had for Kerala Houseboats. Houseboat was shabby. Food was worst. Staff was good but they were helpless for the owners. We told the owners on mobile about our bad experience... More

We booked through Make my Trip after a lot of checking & confirmation. Houseboat offered was same as described. I wouldn't say that it was in bad shape. At the sight of it, everything looked good & we boarded it. However, later realized that: 1. It wasn't cleaned. Almost the whole boat was stinking. 2. Wasn't clean. We found spider... More

It was our honeymoon trip and we had a high level of expectation about this houseboat stay. But in reality it was a horrible (the modest word to express the actual suffering) experience. Let me list my suffering here for future reference, hope this will help you to plan your trip: 1. The room was stuffy and it smelled like... More

I was very much excited about the houseboat stay and to be honest at the end of trip I was disappointed and not felt that the experience was not worth the money we spent. The houseboat was hired by Cosytour. Till evening we enjoyed, but in the evening it anchored in a place where we had nothing to do. At... More

It was a perfect experience to try traditional rice boat on my personal skin! Funny and unforgettable. May be it is not so comfortable and luxuries as standard hotel, however it has its own atmosphere and charm. Service was really good, and staff was good trained, it is seen they have big experience with tourists as myself.

The vessel was neither neat nor clean. Linen was old and insufficient. The food was bland and Barely palatable . In spite of the hefty price... More

They want to make money at the cost of customer satisfaction. I was denied accommodation because the market prices were high and they were asking us to pay extra to take a boat for which we already had a confirmed and paid accommodation. They said the money you paid is low and so we don't have accommodation, but we can... More
