Backwater Ripples Kumarakom

I highly recommend this place. The staff is polite, service oriented and highly professional. I had an amazing experience. The food quality was excellent, great ambiance and excellent esthetics. Sindhu at the reception makes you feel welcome. Just a minor suggestions ( but not a big deal) the fridge in the room was making a humming sound; and it was not easy to activate tv channels. In summary, a great place which you will thoroughly enjoy both sole and with family.

We had an amazing one-night stay at Backwater Ripples, and it was nothing short of spectacular. The highlight was the extraordinary speed boat ride, which added a thrilling touch to our experience. The Shikkara ride was equally serene, allowing us to soak in the beauty of the backwaters. Both breakfast and dinner were top-notch, offering a delicious spread of local and international cuisine. The staff was courteous, and the overall ambiance was peaceful and rejuvenating. We couldn’t have asked for a better gateway!

We had our grand reunion at the BWR …. The experience was just awesome as every thing was taken care of so well. We were a big group of almost 100 and we felt really satisfied with their hospitality. Special mention to Mr Govind, Mr Shyam and the MD Mr Gopakumar for facilitating our needs and attending to us at every moment. The complimentary boating was fun and the banquet dinner was good. Would definitely recommend BWR for family friends and solo travellers

My husband and I spent 5 nights together and it was a wonderful time. The property is exceptional in all aspects. Right from the very start we felt at home. We went for the rain and they didn't disappoint us. The staffs were truly great, we thank you for your hospitality. Chef and his team did very well to adapt the food to our palettes too. Those who want to take a break from their hectic work ..this property is the right choice.

Backwater ripples, as the name suggests was definitely beyond our expectations.Our 2 night stay was enjoyable and memorable cos of the wonderful hospitality of the team led by Ms. Sindhu,who was more like family to us and was always eager to help. The infinity swimming pool is crystal clear with a breathtaking view of the backwaters,and Mr.Ayyappan was a wonderful host ensuring our comfort and safety of our kid by the pool side. The complimentary shikara ride and the speed boat ride ( chargeable ) to Pathiramanal Island are different experiences and a must try. The culinary show and cultural instrumental music shows are worth mentioning.Cycling, kayaking, fishing, gym,archery, reading room, indoor games and an Ayurveda spa are the other offers here. The food is tasty, and they have a kids' menu too. The complimentary evening tea and delicious local snacks at Chaikada, give guests a chance to connect with each other. A relaxed afternoon sitting by the backwater side, enjoying the scenery and the cool breeze is priceless.. Recommend this property as it is worth every single penny.

We had a bit of an issue at check in since the receptionist kept asking for an Indian ID which we did not hold. We were given room 428 when checked in We requested for an extra bed and was assured at check in this would be done by the evening. When we returned to the room at ten pm the extra bed was not made. The entrance to the room had several mattresses and folding beds stacked up which was totally not acceptable. It was like a storage passage in front of the room, which was an eyesore . The net curtain in the room had a rip too. When complained to the reception two housekeeping staff moved us to room 421 and gave us a spare bed which had a dent in the middle due to it being kept folded. I complained again to the reception, then a proper mattress was given. By the time this was all done it was midnight and we were all so tired. I asked at the reception to speak with the manager the next day, but no one bothered. This is a management issue which is a real shame since the property is beautiful with good facilities . Noted that the mattresses were removed the next day. Housekeeping/management should have noticed this before us. We will not be visiting again.
