Backwater Breeze

We had a wonderful stay at Backwater Breeze and it was one of the highlights of our trip to Kerala. The property is simple but beautiful, located right on the backwaters with stunning canal views and a very peaceful atmosphere. The room was spotless, the bed was comfortable, and everything was perfectly maintained. It is the ideal place to relax, disconnect, and experience local life away from the crowds. What truly makes this place special is Ajith, the owner. He is one of those people who are genuinely kind and naturally hospitable. He was always available to help when needed, but never intrusive. He made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. When we mentioned that we wanted to try duck, he went out of his way in the evening to help us find it. He also arranged food from a nearby local restaurant and organized a wonderful shikara boat trip for us, with the boat picking us up directly from the property. These small touches made our stay unforgettable. The homemade breakfast was delicious and added to the authentic local experience. If you are looking for luxury facilities, this may not be the place. But if you want a peaceful, authentic stay with beautiful backwater views and exceptional hospitality, Backwater Breeze is perfect. Thank you, Ajith, for making our stay so memorable. We would happily stay here again.

Nothing

The River view, peacful and people very friendly

The outlook was fine, albeit the view across the lake was obscured by trees. The staff were very accommodating.

We were welcomed with a refreshing drink and shown to our accommodation. Although the room was clean, the sheets were stained, and it is clear from the overall presentation of the property that the general maintenance has been allowed to slip. Unfortunately the in-house restaurant was not available, although excellent food was on-hand nearby on the water front. We were provided with breakfast, however the content was somewhat disappointing; while other guests were presented with sizeable proportions, we were surprised to find our omelette served on a saucer! Notwithstanding the above, the owner’s son deserves special mention for accompanying one of the guests to a nearby hospital, following a self inflicted minor accident.
