    There was ongoing construction at the site which was a bummer.

    The place is very serene and calming. The staff were courteous and professional.

    I have nothing to say as it met more than my expectations

    The aesthetic of the place is phenomenal. The quality of our stay was elevated by their exceptional hospitality and well thought out service. The executive chef made sure we had a delicious meal every time we dined there and the staff ensured our delightful stay. I would 100% recommend this place for anyone who wants to take a break and just enjoy with nature.

    The glass bottles provided for water in the rooms were super old, if we check the caps, we could see the dirt marks.

    The overall stay was good. Had wonderful time with family. The breakfast included South Indian, North Indian options plus English breakfast options. We opted for half board and the dinner was prepared and served really well. The spacious rooms were neat and well maintained. Restaurant is overlooking the backwaters. Staff ensured that all are needs are well taken care of.

    Nothing at all

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Outstanding Stay – Highly Recommended! I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Worlds Backwater Hotel in Kerala, and I must say – it was one of the most fantastic travel experiences I’ve ever had. From start to finish, the service was impeccable, the environment was serene, and the staff were incredibly professional and courteous. A special mention goes to Mr. Bejosh and Miss Aswathy, who truly went above and beyond to make my stay memorable and hassle-free. Mr. Bejosh personally assisted me in booking train tickets to and from another state in India, which was a huge help. Not only that, he even contacted a friend working at another hotel to ensure my next stay would be just as special – such a thoughtful and genuine gesture! Miss Aswathy was equally exceptional. She was always polite, attentive, and made sure I was comfortable throughout my stay. She kindly accommodated my early check-in and late check-out requests, which made a huge difference to my travel plans. Her warm and welcoming attitude really stood out. The hotel itself is a gem – peaceful, beautifully maintained, and surrounded by stunning backwaters. There are regular activities for guests, all very well-organized, and I thoroughly enjoyed participating in them. The kayaking experience was a highlight, and the swimming pool was clean and relaxing – perfect for unwinding. I can’t thank the team at The Worlds Backwater Hotel enough for their hospitality. This has easily become one of my favorite hotels, and I will definitely be returning on future trips to Kerala. I strongly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with top-notch service. Amazing trip – 10/10 experience. Highly recommended!

    The restaurant has fewer menu's for dinner and lunch . Those are very costly.... One glass of water melon juice is 200 and curd rice for one person quantity is 230rs . They should reduce food cost for lunch and dinner . They don't have much of Kerala authentic foods .. we thought of eating kerala meals authentic but meals not available.

    We liked the ambience and location..just near backwater ...the lake view is exceptional. Service is very good and cozy rooms with good power backup. Complementary breakfast is excellent... Swimming pool is very good to enjoy ... evening tea and snacks are complementary and those are also good . We stayed in lake view cottage...room is good enough for 4 adults. Drinking water is good and they refilling when we ask. We taken boat ride shikara boat ride ..1 hour ride is 2950 . Sitting in chair with lake view and having tea with your loved one is super cool...

    The bar service could be improved, as it did not meet expectations.

    A Memorable Stay at The World Backwaters Resort, Thanneermukkom Our recent stay at The World Backwaters Resort was truly exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality extended by the entire team made us feel welcomed and valued. Hospitality and Staff The warmth and professionalism of the staff were evident throughout our stay. Special commendations to Ashwathy, whose dynamic and friendly approach stood out. Her attentiveness and genuine care enhanced our experience significantly. The management, restaurant staff, and security personnel were all exemplary, ensuring our comfort and safety at every turn. Culinary Delights The food served was delectable, showcasing the rich flavours of the region. The chefs demonstrated remarkable care in preparing each dish, catering to our preferences with enthusiasm. While the existing menu was satisfying, introducing a wider variety of options could further elevate the dining experience.

    Everything was great.

    We loved every second of our stay at The World Backwaters. We stayed in a Lake View Cottage which was idyllic and all of the staff were amazing and so helpful. We'd booked our stay as a chill out following touring other areas in India and loved it so much. The grounds and rooms are beautiful and very peaceful. A lot of the time it almost felt like we had the place to ourselves. While we were there we had spa treatments, attended cookery demos, took a boat ride on the lake, kayaked and walked around the local village. All were so enjoyable.
