Amazing location next to one of the small rivers. The family is lovely and they cook amazing food. They don't live in the house, but they are very attentive and arrange any meal you need (the mum cooks really good!) any tour or train ticket. The house is in a quiet area, away from any road or noise.

Would recommend this Homestay and munroe island to everyone visiting Kerala! Vijeesh made our time super fun even though we only stayed one night. Do not miss the sunset kayak trip and the sunrise boat trip, such a highlight of our Kerala trip. Munroe island is beautiful.

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! ❤️

The room was very clean and spacious with a lovely terrace area, table and seating. The large bed was the most comfortable we have had in India. Our host was very friendly and helpful. The food was very tasty and plentiful. Our sunrise canoe ride was magical, the highlight of our 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.
