I especially enjoyed the nasal massage to clear up the sinuses. Our grandson loved being in the pool and the whole family liked the high tea activities. The food was fresh and tasty. We even asked for recipes to try at home. ##### Prasuna Stayed 9 nights in Jan 2026 ### 8/10 Good #### Jamie 17 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely hotel and friendly staff. ##### Jamie Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### paul 22 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful relaxing hotel in back waters of Kerela.

A proper retreat and spa. I got a full body massage and so did 2 other members of my family.

Great food, great service, great rooms. It is a wellness centre, very peaceful, right on the backwaters of Kerala. Very good value for money. Can improve in choice of TV programmes as most are in local language. ##### Dhiren Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Trinanjan 24 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent property and amenities. Ayurvedic massage is a must. Highly recommended ##### Trinanjan Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashutosh 21 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities What a beautiful resort this was. We stayed there for our anniversary trip. The staff from welcome to dinning to housekeeping were are super warm and friendly. And, they did an amazing job making us feel extra special - especially with all the decorations for our room and helping plan a beautiful candle light dinner. The view from our villa was gorgeous. The only icky thing was that since pool area is also surrounded with tropical plants, there were some bugs from the plants n all that would be floating in the pool. ##### Ashutosh Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ila 29 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Views over the lake were terrific. The views were great. The room was large, clean and cool. The staff were super helpful and happy to help. We loved the food in the restaurant . Would like to see a coffee machine in the restaurant. Would love to return. ##### ila Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### DANIEL 5 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Relaxing gem!!! The hotel was excellent. It is an extremely relaxing place where the staff are very attentive and can’t do enough for you. The food is excellent and there is a variety to accommodate all tastes. We stayed in Achenkovil and the room was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed. I would highly recommend this hotel if you are in the area. ##### DANIEL Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Sankar 25 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Service was excellent. Luxurious gardening and plants with swans. All the staff were very welcoming and courteous. Missed the early morning coffee service. Breakfast buffet was not bad. ##### Sankar Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### christine 7 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Idyllic setting nect to lake.

Helpful staff headed by mr.shibeesh. What more do you want ? ##### Ailam Venkateswaran Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 1 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 3 night stay We enjoyed our stay although we had been concerned after reading a couple of recent poor reviews. We felt that these were unjustified. The property was remote and relaxing. Sometimes instructions needed to be repeated. Lunch and dinner were very nice although alcohol is not served. The rooms were very big and the staff were very polite. There are a selection of massages in the spa. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Sabu 11 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The waterfront view was exceptional from the balcony. The staff were helpful and eager to please all round. However, the room house keeping was less than optimal. On one day the room cleaning was missed entirely even when the “Please clean the room” sign was on display all day outside the room. That said, we still plan to return to Niraamaya Resort Kumarakom in the future. ##### Sabu Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Munglarespery 30 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Poor. Good the spa was excellent. Bit boring The high tea was very poor.One type of biscuit. That is not high tea. ##### Munglarespery Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dirk 11 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay and food in Kerala. I\`ve booked 2 extra nights, because I liked it so much. The Staff are Superfriendly and the view from my Hotel was just fantastic . When I arrived, I hade some Issue that I couldn't walk great. The Staff offered me a different rom where i didnt hade to walk steps and I got my own little pool. This was so great. Specaly on the morning when you can enjoy your breakfast from your own Terrace. I will defently comback next time. ##### Dirk Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Gavin 31 Oct 2023 The staff is incredible. Property is a bit dated. Dining option is only one but they are excellent Ala Cart. Buffet was lacking. Also Rude guests who I first hand witnessed dipping their hand into an open dishware that was set up for buffet. All and all, great property for any type of Ayurvedic massages. The spa area was excellent and staff was just pure bliss. Cannot say more nice things about the staff from the front desk, spa and groundskeepers. Beautiful views of the backwaters. ##### Gavin Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 20 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort We stayed at Niraamaya Retreats Backwaters & Beyond for 2 nights in a Superior Villa with a Lakeview. The location is beautiful, surrounded by nature, and the staff gave us a warm welcome. Our villa was spacious with a lovely view from the balcony, though it lacked balcony furniture to relax. While the property was clean, it felt a bit outdated and worn. When strolling through the property, we had to watch our step due to goose droppings. The pool area was enjoyable due to the lack of other guests, but housekeeping was disappointing—old towels from the previous day were left until we requested them to be cleared. The restaurant offered good food but had limited vegetarian options and a less relaxed atmosphere. Activities like boat tours seemed overpriced, so we opted for private bookings. Overall, a mixed experience with room for improvement in maintenance and service. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Richard 7 Feb 2026 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Nice location overlooking lake. Daily tea in gardens with activities enjoyable. Nearby tours of backwaters was great. Good spa on site too. Great views from room to lake. However villa room was dated and needs some refurbishing, cleaning and decorating. Villa Pool also needed cleaning and maintenance. The restaurant staff were great and friendly, food was ok - though a bit limited selection in breakfast buffet of fruits and pastries, and for evening meals there was a long wait. Overall - nice location but overpriced for the quality of hotel. ##### Richard Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2026 ### 8/10 Good #### Ruby 20 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Enjoyed the spa treatments. My husband felt it was the best he had. Overall an enjoyable stay ##### Ruby Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Ferrin 4 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Amenities The resort, ambience and staff was amazing however there isn’t a lot to do. We ordered room service and not only was it really expensive but the food was very sub par. It took nearly 1 day for them to remove the remaining plates from that order. The restaurant also was underwhelming in terms of the food offered. We often ended up going outside the resort to a local shop to eat ##### Ferrin Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paresh 28 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good location and tranquil ##### Paresh Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Mukesh Kumar 25 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent stay.
