TripAdvisor Review
Rice Boat

We came to The Rice Boat to celebrate a special occasion, and we left feeling truly pampered and taken care of. It was a perfect afternoon, and I want to thank everyone who helped make it so.

My deepest thanks go to Mr. Ahilan, the restaurant manager. From the very first conversation about our booking and reservation, he was kind, patient and wonderfully helpful. He guided us through the process with real thoughtfulness, and on the day of our lunch he made sure we were never short of anything. When you are celebrating something that matters to you, it means so much to feel that someone genuinely cares about getting every detail right. Mr. Ahilan made us feel exactly that, and we are sincerely grateful to him.

To Chefs Mahroof, Manoj, Sunil and Anoop, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. The food was delicious, and you could taste the care and effort behind every dish. A meal like this is the result of real skill and dedication, often unseen by the people enjoying it, and we wanted you to know how much we appreciated every bite. Thank you for the time and heart you put into our celebration.

To Victor, Jibin and Abhay, thank you for your warmth and your attentive service. You looked after us so well and made us feel welcome and at ease from beginning to end. Your kindness made our special day even more special.

The ambience was beautiful, and it was the perfect setting for a celebration we will remember for a long time. But it was the people, the care and the genuine hospitality that truly made it perfect for us.

Thank you to the entire team at The Rice Boat. We are so grateful, and we hope to come back again.

An anniversary stay we'll remember

We stayed at Taj Malabar for our anniversary, and it was the highlight of our trip to Kerala. The hospitality was outstanding from the moment we arrived. The staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive without ever being intrusive.

One detail stood out right away: the signature fragrance throughout the property. Every hallway and common area had it, and it made walking around feel calm and special. It's a small touch, but it made the whole stay better.

The team also made a lovely gesture for our anniversary, which we really appreciated. The boat tour was a great experience, and the activities on offer gave us plenty to enjoy without ever leaving the property.

We've stayed at a two-Michelin-star property earlier on this same trip, and Taj Malabar was better. The service felt more personal and the experience more memorable.

Highly recommend to anyone visiting Kochi, especially for a special occasion.
