“Merveilleux”
Amazing staff 100% devoted to giving best experience although it was national holiday. The room is located in a very quiet and peaceful area, away from the city buzz. Thus amenities are a few minutes drive away, which is the price to pay to be surrounded by nature. Bonus point : beautiful sunset to watch by the river right by the house. The food is nicely homemade and delicious. Thank you 🙏🏼

My friend and I stayed a single night at Riverbells, but I wish I could have stayed for a week! The location is beautiful with the river on one side and paddy fields on the other. We stayed in the "normal" rooms which were very comfortable. They also have luxury glamping-style accommodation, which seemed very fancy and worth the try. Caretaker AsifAshik made sure we were perfectly taken care of and the Kurialacherry family were kind, welcoming and engaging. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Many reviews mention the lack of restaurants nearby but in fact the nearby village has food options and Riverbells can easily arrange a rickshaw if you don't have your own transportation. We ordered dinner at Riverbells though and were very satisfied! Thank you to the whole team for a lovely experience. I hope to be back one day!

Our recent stay at Riverbells Resort, Alleppey was truly a unique and unforgettable experience. It’s not like a typical resort — it’s located on a peaceful island surrounded by the river, which made it feel very private and special. There are only two rooms in the entire property, and we booked both, so the whole place was just for our family. That made the stay even more relaxing and enjoyable. Just nearby, a lovely local family lives there, and they were such wonderful people. We spent quality time together, and their kids played with our kids — the two days passed so happily and created beautiful memories. A special thanks to Jose Chettan and his family for their warmth and hospitality. The staff were extremely cooperative and kind, especially Mr. Asif who took great care of us throughout our stay. The cook prepared delicious food, and we also enjoyed a fishing experience, which was a highlight for us. Overall, it was a peaceful, joyful, and different kind of resort experience that made us very happy. Highly recommended for families looking for something special and close to nature!

“Stunning place at the river.”
Stunning place at the river. Comfortable room. Very friendly neighbours! Being a family who lives on the same plot and look after you. Extremely nice and easy going as is Cindu who cooked for us an excellent meal. The rent of the room is done by a company and makes it a bit confusing in communication on forehand.

The place was beautiful, a gorgeous garden right on the backwaters with a lovely view of the sunset. The rooms were very attractive and clean. The family were so friendly and kind. They fed us amazing Kerala food and showed us so many interesting things. They helped us organise a great boat trip. This is the best place we stayed during our whole trip - amazing.

My two-day stay at Riverbells was truly delightful. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed into the family's My wife and I had the pleasure of spending two unforgettable days at Riverbells. Nestled amidst serene surroundings, the beauty of the place itself was breathtaking. The tranquil river view added a sense of calmness to the atmosphere, making it the perfect romantic getaway. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed into the family's home. The homely food served during our stay was not only delicious but also comforting, adding a special touch to each meal. What truly made our experience memorable was the hospitality of the family. They made us feel like a part of their own, ensuring that we were comfortable throughout our stay. Resma chechi's husband's talent as a singer added an extra layer of enjoyment to the evenings, making them truly magical. Overall, our stay at Riverbells exceeded our expectations. If you're looking for a cozy and welcoming home stay with delicious food, enchanting musical evenings, and stunning river views, we highly recommend Riverbells for a romantic getaway with your loved one.
