Located within 4.3 km of Kollam Railway Station and 4.9 km of Thangassery Light House in Kollam, Ashtamudi Villas provides accommodation with seating area. There is an on-site restaurant, plus free private parking and free WiFi are available. The guest house features family rooms.

This is a very travellers friendly hotel. It's right by the lake and has a lovely green garden full of palm trees and other greenery. Hammocks between the trees and also a canoe. All the rooms have a private terrace with table and chairs. Large and spotless clean room with an excellent bathroom. Friendly English speaking staff. Excellent WiFi, coffee and tea sold by the pot, and cold ones in the fridge. Can't get much better than that. They arrange tours to Monroe Island as well. The hotel is far from town, but you can get there with a local bus for just 10 RP, either from the main road just up from the bus station, or from the school junction where you can jump off your incoming bus if you are coming from the north. Best place to stay as the town centre has completely lost all its travellers atmosphere.

Dearest Ginsen, My Kerala trip was absolutely breathtaking, and your LemonTree Homestay played a huge part in making it so special. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for opening your home and also lenting your bike to me which made it really easy for me to get around the place. Exploring the countryside on two wheels, with the Kallada River by my side, was an experience I’ll never forget. It was even better with your delicious homemade meals fueling my adventures. Every breakfast, lunch, and dinner was a treat, filled with love and local flavor. Your parents Thankachan and Mariyam’s warmth and kindness made me feel like family. Thank you for turning my stay into a truly unforgettable one. LemonTree Homestay isn’t just a place to rest, it’s a chance to connect with Kerala’s heart and soul. I’ll be recommending it to everyone I know! With immense gratitude, Velu,

Situated in Kollam and only 47 km from Varkala Cliff, Munroe Inn Homestay features accommodation with lake views, free WiFi and free private parking. The property features pool and river views, and is 48 km from Sivagiri Mutt. The homestay has family rooms.

I had such a lovely time at the homestay! The accommodation itself is of a high standard. The provided food was all incredible ! (Lunch portions are massive) I was able to do a sunrise boat trip, was shown around the island and also did kayaking on Munroe Island. As other reviews mention it is literally an island that is only reachable by boat so just be mindful of any amenities you may need to buy beforehand. You can always ask to be taken to Munroe Island otherwise. The host is very hospitable and honestly it was so nice to have downtime.

    It's an island home stay, if you are looking for a place away from the city rush then this is the place for you. The host is helpful & friendly. He treats you like family & takes care of everything, you will be transported in a boat from the nearest Railway Station or road. Early morning boat ride & sunset on shore are the highlights of this place.

    Everything about it. Staff/Cook were all very accomodating, polite and sweet. We were well informed about which route to take. The premises and the stay was perfect blend of resort and home stay. Rooms were clean, spacious and comfortable. The Canoe boating from right outside the gate of the resort was a truly amazing experience. Would recommend this resort for any type of group or solo for any number of days! The food we had for dinner and breakfast were delicious 😍
