A nice little lodge on the water. There are hammocks and there is a kanoo available to explore the water, too. Staff was very helpful in accommodating activities.

The location, the host, the home cooked meals and most importantly the vibe. My children and I felt so well rested from our long travels. And Ginsen was so helpful with all the travel tips and arranging taxis for me. I am so happy I chose to stay here.

I had a wonderful stay with a warm, welcoming family! I was well taken care of throughout my visit. The room was cozy and clean, and the food was absolutely amazing. They provided plenty of information and recommendations on where to go and what to do—from a morning boat tour to kayak and bicycle rentals, plus laundry facilities, everything you need was available. Keep in mind that the homestay is a bit remote, further from the main river, but I found this to be an advantage. It allowed me to rent a kayak and explore the small canals easily. Additionally, the homestay is within walking distance from the train station—if you choose to walk, follow the road near the temple.

This place is really amazing. Deepa is a wonderful person and she and her family made my stay to a wonderful experience. We had a really nice sunset-tour with her father. The food was also very good. The room is big, cozy and clean. It was the best homestay I had so far in India!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Kailasam Homestay, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warmth and hospitality. The homestay offers a truly cozy, home-like atmosphere, making it feel like a peaceful retreat. The highlight of the stay was the food—each meal was not just tasty but a real treat for the taste buds! Kala, the host, was incredibly kind and went the extra mile by teaching us how to prepare some of the delicious dishes. We had so much fun cooking together and learning new techniques that we can now recreate at home. Additionally, Kailasam Homestay arranged several activities for us, including boating, cycling, and kayaking. The scenic surroundings made these experiences even more memorable, and it was a great way to explore the area and unwind. All in all, Kailasam Homestay offers the perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and exceptional food. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable stay!

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.
