This has got to be one of the worst properties I have ever stayed in and I have visited over 10 states, and around 25 hotels in the last 1 year. Once on-board forget all your privacy, they have the right to barge into your room anytime they feel like, food is pathetic and the entire boat stinks of fish. When I complained about the smell, all they said was that they had used the boat to transport fish on the way back.
In the night some guys in a canoe (a small boat used by the locals there) tried to board the boat, I saw them and tried to wake the staff, I am not sure if they were really asleep or were hand in glove with the intruders or plain drunk, they simply refused to respond, finally I created enough commotion and the intruders fled. I made them call up their manager and complained to him, he said and I quote “When you are on our boat, your life and properties are not our responsibility, you have to take care of yourself”.
I am not sure if this is the case with all houseboats there, but please avoid Grandeur group, even if you have already booked the houseboat cancel it, and never board it with your family. There are loads of other houseboats available at a lower cost and better facilities, kindly enquire about them.
