There is an on-site restaurant, plus free private parking and free WiFi are available. The guest house features family rooms. Personal touch, the owner, Joseph, is extremely helpful, takes care of all your travel needs, gives you a little tour of Kollam. In short: really takes care of you and loves his job. We really had a pleasant stay, personal and nice. I can really recommend anyone who travels to Kollam to stay there. Btw: if you are interested in Hindu festivities and rituals, tell Joseph, he will find memorable trips. And yes: all your backwater trips will be taken care of, too

At the guest house, units are fitted with bed linen and towels. The host is very nice and accommodating. We had been traveling all day and after checking in late, he brought us up a bowl of fresh fruit because we didn't give a solid answer on if we had eaten or not. So sweet! 10/10 recommend doing the backwaters tour with him. It is such a special experience. His friend Valentine does a beautiful tour and dinner.

Breeze Hill resort

Viripara

At the guest house, some units have a private entrance, dining area, fireplace and kitchenware. Featuring a private bathroom with a bidet, units at the guest house also provide guests with free WiFi, while certain rooms here will provide you with a balcony. We stayed in the tree house and loved being a little part of the forest. The Breeze Hill resorts are located at a pristine location, away from the hustle of the city. There was a little difficulty we faced in reaching the place as it was hilly. Please travel with a driver who knows the area already. The tree house was very nice, and the staff was very very helpful, polite and friendly. Thanks to them, we had great food everyday, in the beautiful forest. Would really come back for this. :)

Featuring an open-air bath, garden and views of sea, SHORE STORIES is set in Alleppey, 5.9 km from Alleppey Lighthouse. This beachfront property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The guest house features family rooms and facilities for disabled guests. We absolutely LOVED our stay at Shore Stories! From the moment we arrived, we knew our stay was going to be very special. This was our 'relaxation phase' of our trip and Ajay went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of our stay was accommodated and exceeded! Food, drinks, transport, entertainment, restaurants... he catered to our every need and he's also an incredibly kind, caring and considerate man! The space is pure bliss - secluded beach with golden sand and clear warm waters, with an immaculate room, huge comfortable bed, outside terrace with sunset views every evening (either from the room itself or the upstairs terrace). We've since recommended his beautiful place to friends and we 100% recommend Shore Stories to other booking.com guests! Thank you Ajay!!
