The Vrindavan Homestay is truly something special. Thanks to the warm, cheerful, and helpful nature of Anand and his family, I immediately felt at home. Everything is possible here: kayaking or canoeing tours, scooter rental, bike tours or informative walks through the village, cooking traditional dishes with the family, laundry service, assistance with errands, and much more. The location is ideal: right on a backwater canal and close to the train station, shopping, and restaurants. Although you'll hardly visit the restaurants after tasting Anand's mother's cooking. The rooms themselves are clean and equipped with everything you need. The rooms above the pond in the garden with their terrace over the water are particularly unique. Thanks to the peaceful atmosphere, the view of nature, and the various seating areas, you can relax here for hours. Overall, Vrindavan Homestay offers the perfect combination of unique comfort and immersion in local life, and I would come back here anytime. Thank you all! ❤️

Our stay at Mundro Garden Homestay was amazing. Deepa and her family were so welcoming and kind. We were always greeted with a smile and a positive attitude. The room was very comfortable and clean and was located in a nice quiet, private corner of the garden. The table and chairs outside offered a great space to relax and eat meals. The homestay offers bicycle rental at a very reasonable 200 rupees per day. The food prepared every day was amazing! Everything we ate was delicious, and we enjoyed trying all of the local Keralan dishes that Deepa and her family made. You must also take the boat tour, it really showcases the beauty of the island. Overall, we absolutely love this homestay and will definitely return if we come back to Kerala!

I had such a lovely time at the homestay! The accommodation itself is of a high standard. The provided food was all incredible ! (Lunch portions are massive) I was able to do a sunrise boat trip, was shown around the island and also did kayaking on Munroe Island. As other reviews mention it is literally an island that is only reachable by boat so just be mindful of any amenities you may need to buy beforehand. You can always ask to be taken to Munroe Island otherwise. The host is very hospitable and honestly it was so nice to have downtime.

It's an island home stay, if you are looking for a place away from the city rush then this is the place for you. The host is helpful & friendly. He treats you like family & takes care of everything, you will be transported in a boat from the nearest Railway Station or road. Early morning boat ride & sunset on shore are the highlights of this place.
