    The crew on the houseboat was fantastic, providing excellent service throughout our stay. The food was absolutely outstanding, with delicious options for breakfast and dinner. Additionally, the houseboat had comfortable accommodations with separate rooms and bathrooms, adding to the overall convenience. The location was also a major plus, as we were able to enjoy the peaceful and picturesque landscape of the river.

    One downside was the crowdedness of the canals and mooring places due to the number of houseboats on the backwaters. This made it a bit more difficult to fully appreciate the tranquility of the surroundings.

    We had a wonderful time on our recent stay at the houseboat. The boat itself was beautiful and well-maintained. The staff on board were friendly and hospitable. The food served was delicious and homely, exceeding our expectations. We especially loved the side dishes and chutneys during our afternoon meal. The highlight of our experience was taking a canoe ride through the small canals at sunset, it was truly a breathtaking moment. we had a great and unique experience on Why Not Houseboat.

    The onboard staff were beyond courteous and the young man who greeted me was very friendly. The boat was well equipped and the top deck offered a relaxing space to lounge and take in the views. Lunch was delicious and the food and service overall were incredible!

    The boat followed a fairly standard route and didn't visit the more interesting parts of the backwaters. The overnight mooring area was not particularly picturesque and adjacent to a busy residential area, detracting from the peacefulness of the experience.

    Comfortable, spacious, and clean. Friendly staff introduced us to the chef and captain. Peaceful journey with beautiful scenery. Delicious food, especially the paneer masala. Additional boat trip allowed us to see more of the backwaters.

    I must say, we definitely got our money's worth with the Why Not Houseboat. The room was comfortable and the interior was beautifully done. The location was serene and the staff treated us like royalty.

    The food for breakfast could've been better, with more variety and options.
