    Review Summary

    The Meridian houseboat offers a beautiful location with serene views and a relaxing backwater experience. Many guests appreciate the friendly and helpful staff, as well as the tasty traditional Kerala food. However, cleanliness issues, such as dirty rooms and unpleasant odors, have been frequently mentioned, alongside concerns regarding limited food variety and insufficient air conditioning during the day.

    When we arrived at the houseboat, we were surprised that only one room was ready even though we'd booked two. Luckily, they found another room later in the evening. 1st room wasn't quite as clean as we'd hoped. There was a bit of a funny smell, and the bathroom wasn't sparkling either. On the bright side, the food was delicious! although, we did notice a few things that could have been cleaner in the dining area too.

    Boat house

    The stay in the boat house was good. However, the duration of the ride was small. There is no source of entertainment at the boat. Food is average at best

    Ok but not good

    parth p.family

    Pros- welcome drink provided. Staff behavior were good, but they should be prompt in providing solution to customers issues. Cons - not toiletry provided. Lunch, dinner and breakfast were just like doing formality. Food taste was just ok, service must be improved. Shower was not working. Light was not working, photo attached of not we roof top open view was not available. Morning houseboat ride was started late at 0815am and ended at 0850am, not as promised 1 hour ride. Tv was not working. No cctv camera (not big deal)

    Highly disappointed

    manojprabhakar r.couple

    But i was asked to come to a different location provided location for boarding. I had to travel a lot to reach with extra amount paid to local auto rickshaw. Food : terrible as they have charged 1200 per person for lunch and dinner for below menu which i found very costlier for the variety and the dishes and their quality/taste. Menu: lunch : white rice + sambar rasam + vegetables + starter ( gobi 65) dinner: chappathi + veg curry (paneer ****er masala, egg fried rice+ 2 cup vegetables paid totally 2400 for the above as a couple. Cruise time: they started 40 mins late ( by 12. 40 pm) but reached at 5 pm sharply to the boarding location itself. But they promised 12 - 5pm. Also they did not drive the boat. They just started and kept it floating and moving very slowly but i could see other boats moving faster than ours. I felt they are doing this for fuel savings but this highly affects the cruising quality. I'm highly disappointed
