Providing lake views, AshtamudiVillas in Kollam provides accommodations and a garden. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking, and free Wifi. Guests can enjoy garden views.

Lovely, peaceful setting on the lake. Fun watching the birds. The staff was always available if we needed anything. They arranged a tour of the backwaters for us. Early breakfast is toast and eggs, but if you wait until 9:00 you can get a Keralan breakfast. Also, you can have dinner delivered and eat on your verandah. A canoe is available for your use, but it was raining so we didn't use it.

Featuring garden views, Doctors Ayurveda Heritage in Varkala features accommodations and a garden. This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking, and free Wifi.

I stayed here with my family and we loved it! Our original stay was planned for one night but after having the delicious home cooked meals and enjoying the peaceful surroundings, there was no way we could leave. We stayed an extra night and would have loved to stay longer! The rooms are comfortable and clean. The ambiance is just overall welcoming and comfortable. You can get ayurvedic treatments and the beach is just a 10 minute walk away. You really can't find better !

Excellent host! Manu makes this stay incredible. He goes above and beyond to make your stay as great as possible. He will give you recommendations for activities, help you organize activities, help you with tuk tuk drivers and whatever you need. His hospitality and kindness is why I extended my stay here. He made me feel right at home and truly enhanced my experience in Varkala. I would happily stay here again and again if I return to Varkala. Other positive points: - Unlimited filtered water refill - laundry available on site - Good location, walking distance to restaurants, beach and cliff

    Accidentally found this property since it was a last minute booking, but really exceeds my expectations, host (Giri Kumar) was very helpful always, he bought us stuff to eat and was very humble. Property is right on the banks of Ashtamudy Lake, beautiful view, the building itself is beautiful with a lush green lawn, interior was nicely furnished, kitchen with utensils were available, peaceful sleep, overall a nice property if you are looking for some relaxation

    Booked as a treat. It was recommended by my guide book and I wanted a hotel rather than a hostel this time. Felt luxury and is something my parents and grandparents would have felt comfortable and relaxed in. Great location so easy to direct autos and get around cheaply. Desk in room made it easy to work. Very convenient for business people. The best breakfast. AC included and laundry services (by the item) included.

    The host is very responsive, kind and took excellent care of us.The boat ride to and from the homestay (not accessible via road) was beautiful! It's the perfect place for a quiet getaway among the backwaters. We were there for only a night but it was a very relaxing stay.
