Anbu's 3 days trip to Wayanad

Arrangement is very good as promised. In hotel and boathouse service is good. But complimentary food in both resort and boathouse is very simple and normal food. Not even kerala spl food. That is like idly dosa, rice Dhal. If it would be kerala food or any spl food that would be great. Candle light dinner complimentary promised was not happened. Overall experience is good Jeep Safari and house boat memories

Sajeevan's 8 days trip to Wayanad

Robin from Comfort was good at scheduling our trip and the best part was he was available at any time. Great person. The trip on the whole was great with all resorts chosen to our taste except one at Thekkady. The rooms were too small. We enjoyed the trip thoroughly. The guide cum driver Anil was exceptionally good. He knew the places and routes so well. We found new places like Malarikal Lilly lakes which was wonderful experience. Malarikal Lilly lakes and some water falls at Munnar was mesmerising. Athirapally was awesome falls.

Harish's 4 days trip to Wayanad

Hotel in Munnar was excellent but houseboat was worst. We requested for clean boat and infect we were getting better but we opted for the travel agent on trust. Driver attitude not at all friendly and big communication gap due to which we were neither able to get him. He did whatever we asked but not more than that… we were not aware of the things and he can better guide us. Apart from that things were good. Travel agent and Hotel people supported well for Birthday celebration of my kid. Birthday celebration and extra activity at Rivulet Resort. Staff of the hotel was very cooperative and they give happy memories
