“Please do jot go for exclusive boat as it is really costly and no worth.”
I booked exclusive boat expecting that me and my family will use the property to spend our happy time. But, I got upset when late evening I wanted to be at hall area staff came and asked to vacant the place and to be shifted to room only. Day was hot so I asked them to switch on the AC for few hours but the denied and said they don't have fuel. they denied extra tea by saying they don't have milk and the house boat was not prepared to make any changes in the menu as they had limited stock. TV was there but of no use as no connection or network. They parked boat in evening 6 PM and re started in next morning 8 am and finished the tour at sharp 9 am. No early morning boating was there as the staff was sleeping in my hall area up to 7 am.

“Disappointed with the selection of Houseboat”
The only good part about Soma house boat was that it was in Alleppy. Rest considering the amount paid for the stay, the experience was below par.
