The owner and staff at this property were exceptionally helpful from the booking process all the way to the last day of our one week stay. We had a party of 11 people occupying 5 rooms. They not only catered to our requests for the different meals with extremely delicious home cooked meals ( Shout out to the chef and kitchen staff), they also helped us out with whatever needs we had, like finding a tailor, getting local transportation, looking for train tickets, washing our laundry etc. We felt extremely cared for and enjoyed our stay.

The bathrooms could be upgraded. It is Kerala and there are occasional spiders in the room, despite their best efforts.

It’s an older style property with a a totally renovated interior. It has the best combination of fascinating architecture and modern comforts. The Bedrooms are spacious with a king bed and balcony. Ours had a view of the river across the gardens. It was quiet and comfortable. The staff were absolutely accommodating. They cooked us local home style meals to our choice. They were flat out while we were there, but still found time to look after us. It was a great stay for us and we stayed 3 nights.

Not much. Would have liked tea/coffee facilities in the room. Also the wifi was not the best, but considering that we chose a village stay we are being really fussy here.

Our stay at Malakkarethu was truly amazing. Despite our late-night check-in due to personal reasons, the staff was incredibly accommodating and supportive. We had the pleasure of meeting Jojy J Varghese and his wife Deepthi, the gracious hosts, whose warm welcome and friendly demeanor made us feel right at home. Mr. Jojy even took the time to help us capture some wonderful moments on their property. Our children thoroughly enjoyed the scenic river view and the presence of birds, adding to the overall enjoyment of our stay.

I was glad to reconnect with Aranmula where I studied for many years Indian classical dances. The house is most welcoming as well as Mr Varghese and staff. I felt at home totally. The room, the balcony overlooking the Pamba river. The temple is quite close and that is quite a treat if you visit the place. I recommend..
