Amazing location next to one of the small rivers. The family is lovely and they cook amazing food. They don't live in the house, but they are very attentive and arrange any meal you need (the mum cooks really good!) any tour or train ticket. The house is in a quiet area, away from any road or noise.

What a special time we had with Vijesh and his wonderful family at the homestay. I cannot recommend Munroe island and Vijesh’s home enough if you want a genuine authentic backwaters experience. The sunrise boat trip with Vijesh was one of the most memorable things we did in India as well as paddleboarding up the river and swimming in the backwaters. We ate the most delicious home cooked meals. The room was extremely comfortable and the communal spaces were very peaceful with hammocks included. We could do laundry as well which was really appreciated. Vijesh is a lovely person, great to talk to and we loved watching the snake boat races with him. He also helped organise a rickshaw when we had to leave. Going for walks around the home stay was a big highlight too. All in all this was a fantastic experience and we recommend to all!

I had a wonderful stay with a warm, welcoming family! I was well taken care of throughout my visit. The room was cozy and clean, and the food was absolutely amazing. They provided plenty of information and recommendations on where to go and what to do—from a morning boat tour to kayak and bicycle rentals, plus laundry facilities, everything you need was available. Keep in mind that the homestay is a bit remote, further from the main river, but I found this to be an advantage. It allowed me to rent a kayak and explore the small canals easily. Additionally, the homestay is within walking distance from the train station—if you choose to walk, follow the road near the temple.

I had such a lovely time at the homestay! The accommodation itself is of a high standard. The provided food was all incredible ! (Lunch portions are massive) I was able to do a sunrise boat trip, was shown around the island and also did kayaking on Munroe Island. As other reviews mention it is literally an island that is only reachable by boat so just be mindful of any amenities you may need to buy beforehand. You can always ask to be taken to Munroe Island otherwise. The host is very hospitable and honestly it was so nice to have downtime.

It's an island home stay, if you are looking for a place away from the city rush then this is the place for you. The host is helpful & friendly. He treats you like family & takes care of everything, you will be transported in a boat from the nearest Railway Station or road. Early morning boat ride & sunset on shore are the highlights of this place.
