Pulickattil Houseboat offers a mix of experiences. Guests appreciate the friendly and helpful staff, with some mentioning excellent food, especially Kerala cuisine. However, multiple reviews highlight issues like poor cleanliness, maintenance problems, and dissatisfaction with room conditions. Many mentioned that the AC only operates at night, causing discomfort during the day. Some guests enjoyed the scenic backwater views, but overall, the houseboat's value for money and hospitality seem to fall short based on various accounts.
