This was a great find! Welcoming and friendly we were greeted as old friends! We were here for 2 nights and I could have stayed longer! My friend fell ill whilst we were here and they went and got medication for her and coconut water for her and did everything they could to help her feel better. There's a great... More

We had a very happy, comfortable stay at Venice Castle. Eldhose, Lija, Lisa and Achacha (and Joshua!) were very warm and accommodating. They were the perfect hosts, helping to plan our activities and transport in Alappuzha whilst providing great company when relaxing at the house. The last reviewer said it very well, Eldhose' management really is an ideal balance of... More

a very neat hotel run by a very helpful manager, Eldhose who is attentive without being overbearing which is a bit of a rarity in India we found. On arrival we were greeted and offered tea and coffee and a special lemon tea for my upset stomach. Nice spacious rooms, and a lovely common terrace for hanging out and looking... More

As other reviews have said the small touches make for such a fantastic service, things like organising transport, taking us to see the houseboat we... More

This homestay is very conveniently located right in the centre of Aleppey but is also extremely quiet. The house is surrounded by gardens and the rooms are spacious and very clean and we had the only soft mattress of our month's stay in India! The family are very friendly and helpful and we really enjoyed our stay with them.

I stayed at Venice Castle for 3 nights in January 2013. I can see why it is ranked top of the b & b homestays. It is absolutely perfect. I can't fault anything (& I can be pretty 'picky' as I'm in the self catering business). I was put in one of the ground floor rooms for my 1st night... More

Very friendly and helpful staff, went above and beyond to help us plan our stay in Kerala. Rooms very clean, with lovely soft mattress and pillows. Breakfast excellent, with chance to try local breakfast but also toast, fruit and choice of eggs! Also very very reasonably priced!
