Prabeeshthillenkery's 4 days trip to Kovalam

Agent staff need to improve their behaviour after payment received from customer also. Commitments before doing payment and performance after payment was different.Owner of the agent promised that i can pay my payment through travel triangle app or at alappuzha office. But agent staff compelled to give payment to driver and hotel as cash. So i it affected my financial plan. I couldnt operate creditcard emi option because of this agents bad behaviour.Travel triangle site also very poor support. No updation after payment.Driver and house boat service was good. House boat food was good

Rituraj's 4 days trip to Kovalam

All things were superb. Good hotels with good food. Houseboat was most amazing specially fish fry dish on boat. Services across all places were good n staff were helpful too. I would also like to specially mention our Driver – Rajeev ,such a humble person,he added more fun to the trip. His driving is safe, superb and even the small restaurants or stops that he took for breaks were good . He was extremely co-operative, understanding and was genuinely helping us (communication with local peoples at shops) with whatever we were expecting in our trip to Kerala. View of tea garden was awesome.. All things were superb. Good hotels with good food. Houseboat was most amazing specially fish fry dish on boat.

Mradul's 5 days trip to Kovalam

The travel agent hides few things while sharing itinerary. Also provided a very old houseboat which was very dirty. The badsheet had a dirty smell (changed in night). Few hairs were found in the rice. Overall a very very good 3 days were spoiled on 4th day at the houseboat. A very low quality cake was provided as honeymoon inclusion. No fruit basket was there as mentioned in the itinerary. Several places were not covered, driver said these were optional, but didn't mentioned in itinerary. Stay at Munnar and thekkedy was awesome.
