The rooms are decorated and furbished in style with a modern bathroom. Great Kerala food is served in the outdoor living room with stunning lake views. This is a perfect place to relax in the beautiful gardens. The host can arrange houseboats as well and generally is very caring. We very much enjoyed our stay and can warmly recommend the... More

It was raw. It was like walking into a poem. The perfect place where you can relax and rejuvenate as Joseph and his staff does all the planning for you very effectively. The WiFi gives you the luxury of doing that quick peek into mails and blogs with your feet still entangled with the lake. The people were lovely ,... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at Ashtamudi Villas at the beginning of January this year, and we were both so pleased to find such a great place to stay after the touristy bustle of Fort Cochin. Joseph and his staff were very friendly and helped us to arrange logistics for fantastic Ayuvedic massages and day trips on the backwaters, etc.... More

This site is much better than most of the resorts I have I been.. (been to a lot).. Beautiful location, friendly host, lovely view... Will come back for sure and stay longer.. Keep doing the good work.. :-)

Stayed 3 nights there. Joseph (owner) & his staff are very helpfull. Food is very good. Place is nice. Rooms are clean & finishing work is very impressive (very rare in India!). Ideally located : outside the city center so very calm area, but not too far (5mn by auto). We decided to come and stay in Kollam for a... More

I found this place more by chance but I was positively surprised! It's very relaxing, the staff is extremely helpful and the location just right on the banks of Ashtamudi lake is really beautiful. Cold beer is available (not common in budget acommodation across Tamil Nadu) and the food is great too!

I spent just one night there, but I wish I could stay longer.I was very lucky to find this place: ideal location at the lake, far from noise and traffic. The ambiance is also wonderful: very beautiful with hammocks. I loved to sleep there under the palm trees, even though the room was very comfortable, well and comfortably equipped and... More

We stayed here for two nights and enjoyed every minute. The setting is outstanding, with beautiful cottages in pretty gardens on the edge of the lake. Perfect for relaxing. Meals were an absolute treat, we ate the biggest, tastiest prawns ever here. The staff were very friendly and helpful and made us drinks whenever we wanted them. The cottages and... More

We stayed for 4 nights and were really glad we did. The garden location by the lake is great for chilling out, and the food served was some of the best we had in India. Nightmares concerning mosquito hell due to being right on the lakeside were entirely misplaced. Trips out from the hotel are easily arranged (we took a... More
