When we are travelling as couple, we obviously had booked a single room. On the morning before boarding, when we called to confirm with the booking, we got a shock from Kerala Houseboats person that we have to share room the others in a 3 bed room houseboat. Common, how can one share a boat the a totally unknown persons, and what if they are some notorious fellows like the 1 we saw in our neighbor boat (pole dancing in half naked and shouting/staring at us). If you want to keep it more expensive keep it, but why on earth do you want us to share when we have booked for single room. After all this, you give us some unused boat, Which had ants and bed bugs all over, dust all over, no TV, luckily for us the staff were very nice and friendly, and food was awesome. All in all, though v war irritated initially because of the boat condition and the way they handled, the stay and journey was nice.
