Excellent stay. However, food prices are a bit high. Overall good experience
Mukesh Kumar, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Ideal break for a couple or family of 4 or a small group of friends. Great food, great service, great rooms. It is a wellness centre, very peaceful, right on the backwaters of Kerala. Very good value for money. Can improve in choice of TV programmes as most are in local language.

3 night stay

We enjoyed our stay although we had been concerned after reading a couple of recent poor reviews. We felt that these were unjustified. The property was remote and relaxing. Sometimes instructions needed to be repeated. Lunch and dinner were very nice although alcohol is not served. The rooms were very big and the staff were very polite. There are a selection of massages in the spa.

This backwaters resort is distinct in its open ground to the lake and upstairs/downstairs bungalows great for 2 room groups Value was definitely there Could improve the food situation when the main restaurant snd bar reopens
Alan, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The waterfront view was exceptional from the balcony. The staff were helpful and eager to please all round. However, the room house keeping was less than optimal. On one day the room cleaning was missed entirely even when the “Please clean the room” sign was on display all day outside the room. That said, we still plan to return to Niraamaya Resort Kumarakom in the future.
Sabu, 3-night trip

Excellent property and amenities. Ayurvedic massage is a must. Highly recommended
Trinanjan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Views over the lake were terrific.

The views were great. The room was large, clean and cool. The staff were super helpful and happy to help. We loved the food in the restaurant . Would like to see a coffee machine in the restaurant. Would love to return.

Really enjoyed our time at Niramaya. Beautiful facility. The dinner was nice. The breakfast buffet was a decent spread. More importantly, each item was perfect, was presented well and tasted outstanding.

Relaxing gem!!!

The hotel was excellent. It is an extremely relaxing place where the staff are very attentive and can’t do enough for you. The food is excellent and there is a variety to accommodate all tastes. We stayed in Achenkovil and the room was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed. I would highly recommend this hotel if you are in the area.
DANIEL, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Service was excellent. Luxurious gardening and plants with swans. All the staff were very welcoming and courteous. Missed the early morning coffee service. Breakfast buffet was not bad.
Sankar, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Extremely poorly managed hotel. Staff are the most unhelpful bunch (during my stay in Kerala, I stayed in 4 different locations and hotels and this was the only one I regret). There are flies everywhere of the backwaters but the hotel do not manage that well. Food option during breakfast were limited and of poor quality. This is more like a 3 star hotel
Karishma, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Idyllic setting nect to lake. Pesceful
christine, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

We stayed at Niraamaya Retreats Backwaters & Beyond for 2 nights in a Superior Villa with a Lakeview. The location is beautiful, surrounded by nature, and the staff gave us a warm welcome. Our villa was spacious with a lovely view from the balcony, though it lacked balcony furniture to relax. While the property was clean, it felt a bit outdated and worn. When strolling through the property, we had to watch our step due to goose droppings. The pool area was enjoyable due to the lack of other guests, but housekeeping was disappointing—old towels from the previous day were left until we requested them to be cleared. The restaurant offered good food but had limited vegetarian options and a less relaxed atmosphere. Activities like boat tours seemed overpriced, so we opted for private bookings. Overall, a mixed experience with room for improvement in maintenance and service.

Nice location on the bank of Vembanad lake, good food, spacious rooms, spacious bathrooms, lots of places to walk around, spa, yoga, evening activities for kids, entertainment every evening ( bharatanatyam, kuchipidi etc). Helpful staff headed by mr.shibeesh. What more do you want ?
Ailam Venkateswaran, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

This was one of the worst resorts that I have every stayed at… People cant speak English in the resort… extremely bad management .. Very bad reception and welcome on the first day.. i left the resort in one day … i left the property in one day.. I expect a refund for the remaining 4 nights .. THIS IS NOT A 5 STAR PROPERTY.. please get your facts straight .. more than half the property was empty.. whats on their website is misleading.. I am extremely unhappy and disappointed with Expedia for having suggested this place as a 5 star property..

Great stay and food in Kerala.

I`ve booked 2 extra nights, because I liked it so much. The Staff are Superfriendly and the view from my Hotel was just fantastic . When I arrived, I hade some Issue that I couldn't walk great. The Staff offered me a different rom where i didnt hade to walk steps and I got my own little pool. This was so great. Specaly on the morning when you can enjoy your breakfast from your own Terrace. I will defently comback next time.
Dirk, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff is incredible. Property is a bit dated. Dining option is only one but they are excellent Ala Cart. Buffet was lacking. Also Rude guests who I first hand witnessed dipping their hand into an open dishware that was set up for buffet. All and all, great property for any type of Ayurvedic massages. The spa area was excellent and staff was just pure bliss. Cannot say more nice things about the staff from the front desk, spa and groundskeepers. Beautiful views of the backwaters.
