    Never EVER choose this service if you are looking for a house boat that consists of an AC. Literally drenched in SWEAT after staying in it for the longest 5 hrs of my life. And expectations were real HIGH on food. I dreamed it to be AUTHENTIC kerala food. They served a plate of fried chicken and fish on non veg palettesort of inedible. My ten year old niece would cook better food than that. Totally disappointed!
