Vembanad Island hotel rooms a the Independent

"Clogged drains, toilets that don’t flush, phones don’t work. This hotel needs a complete renovation . The restaurant was subpar with minimal choices Would not recommend this hotel"

"Nice location. Complimentary boat ride. Lot of activities to do inside the resort. Very clean room and views"

"We enjoyed Backwater Resort very much. We stayed 1 evening before an overnight houseboat trip. We enjoyed the resort so much we returned for another day just relaxing. The staff are all super accommodating and everyone greets you in passing. 5 star service. The rooms are done very well with real wood furnishing. It is isolated from the city but so quiet and relaxing. Finally, great lake views."

"Lovely hotel and friendly staff."

"Absolutely phenomenal property. There is a lot to do from fishing and kayaking to pottery and cultural programs. The staff too was exceptional. I regret not getting staff members names as they were very thoughtful and helpful. Highly recommend spending a few days at this resort."
