It's a sultry day and a raining morning. It was a whole new experience as the House Boat where me and our family along with two other families stayed. The rooms were normal. The utility water was salty. Air condition and TV connection were provided during night time. The guys in the boat were friendly. The food menu was a... More

It is the best way till date I have had to cool off all the tensions and worries in life. The boat just keeps cruising along the waters and you feel like you are in best place in the world. The quality of food was good. Enjoyed the stay here. Quality of the houseboat could have been better.

We stayed on the 3 bedroom houseboat for Christmas Eve and had a wonderful stay. We were a group of 2 families and we did request an extra bed in one of the rooms which was thankfully there. It was so relaxing and the staff was amazing. The food was also very good. When you first arrive it is a... More

My family of four spent one night on of Mr. Joffy's houseboats and we should have extended it to a additional night - our experience was that amazing. His (very new) boat and crew provided us with day beds to view the scenic routes, very comfortable A/C rooms during the night and a 'feast' for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I... More

The whole concept of roaming around the city and staying on a houseboat is amazing..much like Venice in India !!! The services are nice. Clean rooms along with good food served on the houseboat itself by the staff...helps gain a new perspective of the city visited

I cannot recommend these houseboat type cruises highly enough, it is such fun to be on for example how many times does the Captain of your cruise ship ask if you would like to drive for a while while he helps the crew provide a sumptuous dinner, oh well maybe on Costa they do! Seriously though it is so relaxed... More

I liked the boat ambiance. We were given single room houseboat. The crew basically the cook was very responsive. They provided us good vegetarian food. Scenery was good. Overall I could say service was very good.

As an experience you have to do it and whilst our boat and crew of Spice coast cruises were very good the 5 hour cruise through the backwaters is perhaps not quite as interesting and colourful as it promises. This may be down to regulations in that due to the number of houseboats they now only sail through wider waters... More
