Lovely waterside location at the intersection of a canal and the lake, with a couple of small restaurants and a shop selling snacks and drinks etc just around the corner. I spent hours watching the boats go by from the balcony of my room which is also where the tasty breakfast is served (all four rooms have the same view). The room furnishings are basic but very clean and the shower was excellent. As a solo traveller I felt very safe - you're staying above a friendly family home and there are internal bolts on the room doors should you wish to use them. The hosts arranged a fantastic sunrise boat tour for me with Justin from My Punnyalan Shikara Boat Service which started and finished right at the accommodation - very convenient. It was also fun to cycle around the area on the bikes that are provided free of charge. Glad I stayed at Backwater Breeze and great value for money.

Location is good. Just like the name implies, it is a village stay with good neighbourliness. River front. Have to go through a narrow road to reach the property, which is beautiful. Calm and quiet campus with lots of fruits free to pluck. Food was also homely and good quality. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The toilet was really large, almost the size of a bedroom.

    This host family tries to make you as comfortable as possible. We had dinner twice and both times it was really good! The room has everything you need. Good bed, aircon+ fan. Clean bathroom with hot water in the evenings. The garden is also very lovely.

    Divya and her lovely family especially Minakshi her daughter really gave us true feeling of family homestay, showed us the nearby neighborhood, cooked us the best food we ate in Kerala and helped us in every possible way. We learned a lot on the place and its people. Thanks so much, Divya and family.

    Lovely small homestay run by a wonderful family, who took care of my every need (and more) as a solo female traveler. Walking distance to the bird sanctuary (a little dilapidated but worth it for the stork colony) and the lakeshore, and perfect location for walking or cycling along various canals (bikes and directions provided for free). Room was comfortable and well equipped. Breakfasts were fabulous too, as well as conversations with the hosts, who built this charming "wooden castle" as a labor of love. Highly recommended!

    Our stay at this charming home stay was truly fantastic! The family who owns it exuded warmth and hospitality throughout our visit. The rates were reasonable, and the meals were not only delicious but also meticulously prepared. The serene surroundings added to the overall tranquility, making it the perfect retreat to unwind. Without a doubt, we will eagerly return if we find ourselves in the area again. A heartfelt thank you to Coconut Palms Village Homestay for an unforgettable experience."

    Fabulous stay. Divya, her family, and staff are welcoming and foster a home-like environment. We had engaging conversations and shared stories. The rooms are clean and well-kept. The homestay is located near a quiet rural road that runs alongside a canal and passes through villages and rice fields. We took a pleasant 3-hour walk from the homestay to the main lake, along the canal, where we saw different birds and interacted with villagers.

    The homestay was located at a best view point at kumarakom. You can wake up viewing the sunrise from the balcony. The room is very clean with all the facilities. Staffs are so friendly. They were continuously assisting us from beginning. The price is very cheap and so affordable. The staffs arranged us a crise ride for a very cheap rate. Also the food was so delicious. I highly recommend mountde kumarakom for the couples and also for the families

    The Homestay is in a great location. You can easily arrange for a boat to collect you by the front and you are almost at the lake. The garden space is very good. It works well for two people who don’t want to share a room.
