As a specialist operator, we are able to book a wide range
of accommodation. You will find on this website lovely
boutique and heritage hotels, private houses offering a
friendly welcome plus, of course, the famous houseboats on
the backwaters. For the more adventurous we can offer
camping and treehouse accommodation.
We have visited and inspected all the properties featured in
this website. As the UK’s leading specialist we believe we
offer the greatest choice of accommodation in Kerala but if
there is a property not included in this website that you
wish us to book – please ask.
We generally book hotels on a bed and breakfast basis as
this gives you more flexibility. However, there are some
situations where the accommodation is only offered on a full
board basis. This applies to the houseboats, the treehouses,
the homestays and the more remote properties.
Please note that a high ‘official’ classification does not
necessarily mean a better hotel. Grading is based on
facilities and does not take into account character,
location and service. Kerala Connections therefore does not
give the ‘official classification’ of the hotels listed in
this website, but we do offer our opinion. For more detailed
information about the hotels you are considering please
contact us.
Our categories are as follows:
Luxury (L) – this is a top of the range hotel of 5
star plus quality, offering a full range of facilities.
Top Quality (T) – these hotels may not be as
luxurious as above but will be of 4 or 5 star standard of
comfort and have a good range of facilities.
Mid Range (M) – 3 or 4 star hotels offering a range
of facilities and reasonable comfort. They mostly offer
air-conditioning or air-coolers (where necessary).
Standard (S) – simple hotels or guesthouses. The
facilities will be limited but the rooms will have en suite
facilities (unless stated otherwise). These hotels may not
offer air-conditioning but a friendly service often
compensates for the lack of amenities.
Homestay (Hs) – most homestays will offer a
comfortable room with en suite bathroom but otherwise the
facilities are likely to be limited. You will be welcomed to
a family home and expected to eat the local cuisine.
Heritage (H) – any of the above categories may also
be heritage properties offering a colonial or atmospheric
ambience.
Boutique (B) – any of the above but a hotel with a
small number of rooms offering stylish accommodation.
Boutique hotels are usually privately owned.
