Anbu's 3 days trip to Kerala

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

Hoja's 4 days trip to Kerala

We had a great time in Kerala for four days. We booked our trip from Raisoone Travels. We have enjoyed all the safari points in the Munnar and backwaters boating was superb. The guide cum driver was very much co-operative, active, punctual, jovial and very humble person. He took us to all the possible places as he can. We were just missed the hot air balloon drive in the Munnar due to heavy wind and also the Ervikulam National Park due to time constraint. The only disappointment is that house boat would have been a better one...and food was average in the houseboat. And on the last day of our trip the a/c was not working in the car due to some battery problem. Otherwise the trip is very superb and nice.. The best memories of our trip is the Bamboo Dale Resort which is a tree house. In the night we have enjoyed by seeing the moon and stars in the middle of the jungle from the room window which was a memorable night. I was very much excited. The other best moment is night stay on the boat and a coracle ride in the Munnar.

Sudheer's 4 days trip to Kerala

Service is good.. good support from cab driver and house boat staff. Had good time in this trip. One suggestion would be that sort it out if any money related issues with your counter parts. Travellers should not be involved in it.

Soudha's 4 days trip to Kerala

Place was good. However lack of proper communication by the driver was frustrating. We had to prompt him for everything to communicate regarding the travel plan. We missed out on Eraviculam national park due to that as he didnt mention untill muxh late that the park was closing. We expressed our desired to eat in authentic local places (small joints)but he kept taking us to multi cusine restaurants. Booking was made for 7 adults and 2 kids. However at all hotels booking was made only for 8 pax by the travrl agent. The tv in the boat house was not operational.
