The property is almost like a paradise, with a beautiful garden, overlooking the lake Vembanad. You can just sit in the garden and spend all day watching hundreds of water birds and fishermen. It's really a homestay where you stay with a family and served with absolute local delicacies for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The warmth of the family, absolute beauty of the place and smiling people in the neighborhood would make your stay a fantasy.

Loved the stay at Lovedale. Mr. & Mrs. Anshad are one of the best hosts you will ever come across. Not only did they make sure our stay was comfortable but also arranged a Shikara ride, Auto and also guided us for other activities. If you are looking for a peaceful stay away from the chaos, and want to spend time in solitude, this is the place for you. I visited Kerala with my daughter and we planned one night stay but extended it to two. We were so happy with the property and mostly had our meals at the homestay. We loved everything they had cooked for us.

It is rainy so we had some discomfort in parking as the road was slightly narrow and muddy for a large vehicle.

Very nice and friendly staff, food quality was excellent. Rooms were clean and well maintained. Lake view was really awesome..!! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay

Can't say how much I enjoyed my stay. You must come here. Anshad and his wife look after you so well. The views are breathtaking.

What I liked far outweighed what I didn’t like. However I would say that the facilities mainly the bathroom definitely need an upgrade.

The garden and the view could not be faulted absolutely beautiful. My veranda gave me an uninterrupted view of the lake. The garden was well maintained with a gazebo for dining. The room/bed were clean. Amina and Anshad were.perfect hosts. Amina’s food was superb whilst Anshad made light of any request. The surrounding area was a delight to walk around seeing how local fishermen/women work, easy reach of a ferry terminal plus a very pretty church and cafe selling chia.

We like to explore, but not easy here on foot need a tuk tuk or scooter. Bed was rather hard, but we like a soft bed.

An oasis of calm. Excellent food, all Keralan specialities. We didn't have lunch as we often don't so we were given an extra large dinner, fabulous fish. Room was lovely and the views are stunning.

This is one of the loveliest places we’ve stayed on our travels. The location is stunning, we really enjoyed sitting and eating by the lake. The owners are incredibly kind and the food they prepare is delicious. Anshad even came with us to the bus stand in the morning to help us get the right bus. He arranged a boat for us to go to the island and lent us bikes to cycle around the local area.

Wonderful location. Anshad and Ameena are fantastic hosts so kind and helpful. I have stayed at this home stay a few times before and I can highly recommend it.

Non availability of shops near by. Had to either walk 1.5kms to reach the junction or trouble the owner for arranging vehicle.

The property is located very close to the backwaters. I took into a independent cottage facing the backwaters. Amazing sunrises, lovely view, great hospitality by the staff everything I wanted. The property owner was very much concerned to check on if the kids were comfortable and if we reached back safely from our outing. Excellent food , out of way to always be there to help you with either your plans of nearby locations and definitely value for money. Property was always kept clean.

Absolutely beautiful idyllic location, right on the waters. One of the fish meals was the best meal we'd had in a whole two weeks of being in India. Arranged a private boat tour for us, lent us some bikes, room is basic but for the price still amazing.

There wasn’t anything we disliked

The property was located within a beautiful and calming garden. it has the most spectacular views of the lake from where you can watch the fishermen and numerous bird life. We spent most of our time out and about or in the garden. The room was fine and everything worked. A little far away from the centre but definitely worth it, especially if you want to stay for a longer period. The owners could not have done any more to make our stay more comfortable. They assist with anything- just ask.

The lakeside location was green and peaceful. You're away from the main urban areas but there's a small village nearby with restaurants, little shops etc. We would have loved to have longer to enjoy the peaceful garden but we had a tight itinerary. Our hosts went above and beyond. They provided really helpful advice on local transport options. They were polite, friendly and chatty. Food was nice too.
