Its hard to chose a favorite place but this was at the top. Our room was upstairs with our own balcony. It was close enough to walk to town, or the beach which was a bit further, around 40mins or a very cheap ricksaw ride in 10mins. The best part about our stay was our hosts, Motty and Lali are t

We stayed two days with Motty and Lali in their lovely downstairs garden unit. They were very generous, helpful and welcoming, giving us a great deal of local information, and hosting a wonderful dinner and delicious breakfasts. Despite the rainy season we still managed to explore the area and thoro

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, Motty and Lali were excellent hosts - providing maps, directions, and recommendations, wonderful and different snacks, tea, breakfasts and even a cooking class and dinner with drinks and dessert. They welcomed us into their home and culture while we

After reading reviews on Tripadvisor I felt that although expensive, sometimes 3 times as expensive as other locations we booked to stay at mottys. I am sorry to say that we felt disappointed as it did not live up to our expectations. The room was lovely with a colonial feel but because we were on

After reading the Tripadvisor reviews and a favourable article on the Guardian.com, we were very excited to be coming to stay and use Motty's as a base for exploring the backwaters. While the house is charming enough, we didn't find Motty or his wife particularly pleasant or welcoming; the bottled w

Booked for 4 nights, but ended up changing our minds and going elsewhere, so our comments are based on first impressions. It's expensive (6000 Rs) - far more expensive than anywhere else we stayed. We were allocated the room within the house, next to the verandah - there are other rooms, which we di

I'm so glad i made the decision to stay with Motty and Lali - everything from the food that Lali prepared, the accommodation itself, the location, and the trips that Motty organised were fantastic. The trips to local villages were the highlight for me and Motty arranged these so that they were so ef

I reccomend Motty's. We only were there one night and wished we could have stayed longer. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. I loved the traditional outdoor, yet totally private, showers. I\nternet worked great. The garden is tranquil and quiet, yet the home stay is in easy walking dista

I stayed with Motty for 3 days at the end of a busy 3 week trip through India. Motty's place is clean and peaceful, yet central enough to be a 10 minute walk from the main part of town. The hospitality of Motty and his wife Lalai, who is an excellent cook, was lovely. I had two lovely breakfasts as
