Arriving just off season, we had this place all to ourselves and thorougly enjoyed it as you can imagine. The rooms are large and very well furnished and equipped, but what was most impressive was that they had taken the trouble to decorate the whole place with little garlands of jasmine and other flowers in bowls of water, ensuring a...

Wow what can I say, we had an amazing (unfortunately one night only stay) at this wonderful heritage hotel. We stayed in the Bhatlia Room (nephew room), which was an odd-angled room but full of character. The minute we steps into this hotel it was like we had won the lottery, with so many attention to detail throughout. This was... More

We have now stayed at the Residency twice, 5 years ago & and again last week & I have to say that neither time was a disappointment. It's a converted old colonial bungalow with additions but all done in traditional form and furnished in the period but with all conveniences. However what you really pay for is service and whatever... More

We have stayed in literally hundreds of hotels in India of all standards over the years. We stayed at Raheem's for two nights in March and found it to be a very good little establishment. Beautiful rooms and common areas, great pool and spa, staff with a clue and excellent food at the best resaurant setting in town. If you... More

This hotel, right opposite the beach was great. The room was large and spacious - the bathroom was ok, it wasn't flash but compared to some of the facilities I experienced in India I certainly have no complaints. Very friendly staff and happy to help out with anything. The dinner menu was a little bit limited but when we did... More

Having read many of the reviews here for Raheem Residency we can understand most peoples points good & bad but on the whole we were very satisfied. The property is beautiful & well restored. It is a little out of town but next to the beach and only 60 rupees to town in an auto-rickshaw. When we arrived, there was... More

Raheem Residency has become our healing space when visiting Kerala! The right vistas, the right architecture, the right decorations and flowers, the right colours, the right sounds together with all the beauty the eye does not see. The past and the present, Mr. Gandhi (who propably was in the building) and the giving people we met at Raheem Residency all... More

We stayed a few nights in this hotel during six weeks of travelling in Kerala. This was the only hotel we stayed in, and it was a bit disappointing. The location is good, close to the beach but it is not very inviting to swim there. The old house has been meticulously rehabilitated to a sophisticated boutique hotel, and the... More

We have recently come back from Kerala and spent six months planning our three week trip with meticulous detail - mainly using the Rough Guide and searching, for example, the Guardian and Independent travel reviews. The only place we disliked was here. From arrival to leaving you were very aware it was an absolute rip off and whilst the surroundings... More
