Every destination, package and service offered has been carefully selected to ensure an unparalleled travel experience. Furthermore, our expert team is always on hand to assist you at every stage of your journey, ensuring that every detail is taken care of to perfection.
  • Are the prices always the same even if the date changes?
    Prices vary based on various factors which may be seasonal, day of the week, occupancy status of the hotel, promotions, particular fairs in the city and more. The advice, to see the prices, is to enter the dates of your stay and make your own comparisons.
  • Is breakfast always included?
    No, it depends on the rate and whether the structure is organized to offer it or not. Check carefully before booking what is included and what is not and what type of service is offered.
  • Can I make special requests?
    Of course, when booking you will have a field where you can write directly to the property and make your requests. These will be evaluated by the Hotel who will respond directly to you. MeTour is not responsible in this decision-making process.
  • What types of beds will I find in the room I booked?
    The type of bed is usually specified in the room sheet. If you have any special requests or needs you can indicate them at the time of booking by writing them in the "special requests" field which will be forwarded directly to the property. In this process MeTour is not responsible.
  • What is Paga in Structural and what are Payment Pre-Authorisations?
    When you book, some facilities offer the possibility of paying directly at the facility. In these cases you will simply be asked to insert your credit (or debit) card to guarantee the booking, but without any charge. The sum will be taken from your credit card only in the cases provided for by the policies and conditions relating to your booking. In other cases, when the Partner does not adopt automatic availability and booking systems, but confirms reservations "manually", then you will be asked to insert your credit (or debit) card to guarantee the reservation, and then be directly charged at the same time as the Partner confirms the booking (within 24-48 hours). At that moment you will receive an email with the booking confirmation and payment.
  • How do I know if my card has been pre-authorized?
    By consulting your credit card balance you will see that your available balance will be temporarily reduced by the amount of your booking. In other cases and depending on the policy of your credit card circuit, you may also find an entry in the monthly summary of card movements: "pending operation". The pre-authorization block, depending on the situation, will be maintained according to the policies and terms and conditions of what has been booked.
  • How can I cancel or change my booking?
    Easy, enter the customer area with your credentials and from there you can modify or cancel your booking. Remember that changing dates or canceling with a refund request depends on the rate you chose when booking.
  • Can I transfer my reservation to another person?
    For this request, contact the property directly which may have a specific policy in this regard or may need further data on the person to whom you want to transfer the booking.
  • How can I get help with my booking?
    Enter the customer area with your credentials and from there you can contact us or by writing through our contact form specifying your booking number and the reason for the contact request. We recommend that you also leave a telephone number where you can be reached in case of need.
  • Are there taxes, local charges or extras to be paid directly on site?
    They are normally clearly indicated in the property sheet or added during the booking phase depending on local regulations or the facility's policies. But even if not clearly indicated, payments may be requested directly to the facility for any tourist taxes, local charges or extras not included in the rate. The advice is to read everything carefully before booking or writing to us through our contact form.
  • Are small pets allowed?
    It is often clearly stated in the property sheet and for this reason we invite you to carefully read their policies. Where not indicated, we invite you to contact us through our contact form for more information.

In fact, travel may only be authorized for specific reasons and, in particular, travel for tourist purposes may not be permitted. We recommend that you visit the government websites of the various countries in the world of destination, the website of the WHO (World Health Organization) and local government bodies, official information sites and, last but not least, the website of the Booked Facilities. . MeTour is not responsible for the content of the aforementioned sites, but recommends consulting news that is as up to date as possible.

Lighting inadequacy
Waterscapes, a picturesque resort on Vembanad lake amidst serene waterways, about 15 kms from Kottayam, with traditional Kerala architecture & modern comforts.
This expansive property with well maintained sprawling greens and walkways, has good options of accommodation,designed to suit various preferences and budgets.
All wooden cabins are on stilts, each cabin having its own access bridge and a covered, spacious seating area under it. Cottages are well designed, and well kept, with internet connected TV and good, but not generous bathing spaces.Visit to the adjacent bird sanctuary and other facilities like a clean swimming pool, cycling, and pedal boating are complimentary. Golf buggys to travel inside the resort were of much use. Staff is courteous .
The restaurant is well designed and aesthetically located. The spread is not exhaustive, but with good flavors, both veg and non-veg. Buffet are available for lunch and dinner also. It looked like they are not very keen on serving a la carte.
Well and good this much.
Now I have to point out a grave drawback in the resort. There are numerous stairs and bridges everywhere , especially around the area of the restaurant, which every guest has to visit. On the two days of our stay (Lake view cabin LV-1 on 24/5 to 26/5) there was incessant drizzle, which naturally made some wooden surfaces slippery. On top of this, the area around the restaurant and some adjacent lake view cottages were totally dark at night. There are light pillars seen on the bridge and on the path leading to it, (about ten ) none of which work. Even the pillar light in front of our (and most of the others around) cabin did not light up, making our movement much difficult. We had to depend on our mobile phone torch, which is quite inadequate, to take the stairs to our cabin, and even to open the door. Sorry to say that this crucial aspect was overlooked by the house keeping dept and the management. This irresponsibility of high degree could have been reason enough for fall and fractures , and even snakebites ( we found a slender coral snake baby in the lawns), for guests, especially senior citizens like us. Until this serious inadequacy is resolved, how can I recommend this resort to anyone ?

Birds Singing in woods
Nice holiday with humble services by smiling faces of its staffs. Adjacent to Bird Sanctuary and my stay is musically. Birds always singing in this property. The sceneric place disallow you to leave. If you want to outing, you can walk through the bird sanctuary and have 3 hours walk.

A Family Getaway to Remember
My stay at KTDC Waterscapes was a delightful surprise. Opting for a last-minute family getaway, we were thrilled by the experience. The property boasts a scenic location—easily accessible from the main road yet peacefully removed from the hustle and bustle, offering a stunning view of the majestic Vembanad Lake. The cottages were impressive, equipped with amenities comparable to a star hotel. The food was delicious, and the Abhyangam massage was incredibly relaxing. The staff was very welcoming, as was the natural setting. An early morning walk through the bird sanctuary was particularly serene. I would definitely visit again and highly recommend it!

Quel endroit !
Un cadre à couper le souffle, au milieu des canaux en bordure de lac, les grands bungalows sur pilotis sont très bien équipés. Nous sommes réveillés par le chant des oiseaux, c'est magique. Cependant la restauration n'est pas en rapport avec le reste, dommage

Beau cadre, piscine, suituation
Très belle endroit que ces chalets sur pilotis. Nous y avons passé un beau moment pour se détendre. Point de départ pour des balades dans les Backwaters, le parc des oiseaux voisin ( il y a plus d'oiseaux aux alentours que dans le parc ;-) ) .
Gros plus pour la piscine avec vue sur le lac et ses magnifiques couchés de soleil ( a noter que l'usage pour les femmes est de se baigner totalement couverte, sans interdiction pour autant du maillot de bain "occidental ).
Le restaurant sous forme de formule buffet est juste correct ( rapport qualité prix moyen ) . La propreté des logements est elle aussi juste , notons l'absence d'eau chaude ( même si cela n'est pas bien grave lorqu'il fait 38 °C )
Le coté intéressant est qu'il s' agit d'un lieu de vacances des indiens , pas croisé un seul touriste , c'est plutôt agréable pour se dépayser

N"hésitez pas à vous éloigner , passé les propositions touristiques ( balade en bateau ....) en vous enfonçant dans les chemins, vous y ferez de belles rencontres

Séjour de deux nuits pour visiter les backwaters
L'hôtel est très bien situé, La piscine est vraiment sympa pour se relaxer et admirer le lac ainsi que le coucher de soleil. Le restaurant est bien mais sans plus.
Les cottages sont confortables mais manquent un peu de rénovation pour certains.
Les plus:
- le lieu
- le principe des cottages au milieu de canaux
- La piscine
Les moins:
- le personnel de la réception n'est pas du tout coopératif et en devient même insupportable
- les connexions internet qui ne fonctionnent peu ou pas
- les excursions vers les backwaters qui restent chers et rien de très intéressants proposés par la réception de l'hôtel
- s'il pleut La nuit, cela devient extrêmement bruyant dans les cottages et impossible de fermer l'œil!

Quel gachis...
Nous avions reservé deux bungalows pour le 31 Decembre ..
Un de ces bungalows devait etre front de mer ..Les deux étaient en deuxiéme rang ..Déception. La décoration est défraichie et sale et meriterait un grand coup de rénovation. Les salles de bains doivent dater .
Pour feter joyeusement la fin d'année ,il nous a été demandé un supplément de 50 € par tête pour un reveillon qui devait etre somptueux... Quelle déception ,ou plutôt quel scandale ..Le même buffet indigent que la veille ,une honte ....Le vin promis et inclus ,nous a été facturé,etc etc...
Quand aux prestations ,la liste des complaintes serait trop longue .. De plus la piscine était verdatre et visiblement non traitée. Presque laissée à l'abandon.Alors que ce pourrait etre un bijou.
Le personnel ,au demeurant gentil, est d'une mollesse redoutable ..Nous avions demandé un room service: il a fallu presque une heure pour finalement obtenir l'ouvre bouteille oublié par le premier commis.
Un laisser aller total . Avec une vraie direction ,ce pourrait etre féerique.

c'est un endroit de rêve
hôtel magnifique, fait de petites maisons style coloniale sur pilotis, avec des chenaux qui passent dessous, sur les côtés, les chambres sont très agréables avec terrasse vue lac, la piscine au top, débordante avec à perte de vue l'eau, les marécages, les oiseaux, les bateaux, un coucher de soleil à ne manquer à aucun prix..c'est zen au possible, nous étions silencieux, rêveurs, douceur du temps, odeurs sucrées, parfums suaves, chant des oiseaux, envol des oiseaux..un souvenir magnifique. on prend plaisir à se promener entre les chenaux, belle végétation tropicale. les chambres sont très propres et spacieuses, les salles de bain un peu délabrées mais on n'y passe pas notre vie non plus.

Il Waterscapes ha una buona posizione, le camere lasciano a desiderare, e il servizio è pessimo
Il nostro gruppo (4 adulti e due bambini) ha alloggiato in due cottage (su pali sopra l’acqua) al Waterscapes dal 20 al 23 aprile, 2008. La cosa triste è che il Kerala Tourism Development Corporation, a cui appartiene il Waterscapes, possiede una proprietà grande ed eccellente – giardini stupendi che non sono ben mantenuti, una splendida ubicazione sovrastante il lago Vembanad e a pochi passi dalla riserva d’uccelli, una piscina enorme con un bar che si raggiunge a nuoto, ed uno spazio per un bar che s’affaccia sulla piscina dall’alto. Anche il ristorante s’affaccia sul lago Vembanad, e la maggior parte dei cottage hanno una vista del lago. Infatti, dato che l’intera proprietà è attraversata da canali, si può avere per lo meno una vista dei canali. I responsabili del vitto offrono un buon servizio – il cibo e le spremute di frutta fresca sono ottimi. Ma le camere e i bagni non sono in buonissimo stato, ed il servizio, compreso (ironicamente) il banco del turismo,è pessimo. Evidentemente, la nostra camera non era stata rinnovata dagli anni ’70, ed avevamo un ratto in camera, ed i nostri amici avevano un pipistrello nella loro. Il tombino di scarico della doccia non funzionava bene – l’acqua impiegava tutta la notte a svuotarsi. La biancheria e gli articoli da toeletta era scarsi – fornivano soltanto due asciugamani da bagno e nessun altro asciugamano, e gli articoli da toeletta non venivano riforniti giornalmente. Un giorno mi sono trovata nella camera durante il “servizio di pulizia”, e in realtà non facevano che rassettare piuttosto che pulire veramente. È soprattutto a causa del cattivo servizio che si ha l’impressione d’essere in un posto gestito dal governo. Non c’erano camerieri a prendere le ordinazioni sul bordo della piscina – siamo dovuti andare a cercarli nel ristorante per poter ordinare delle bevande e degli spuntini. E poi ci voleva tanto tempo finché ci portavano ciò che avevamo ordinato, che una volta stavamo per andarcene per preparci ad uscire quando sono arrivati. A volte, la piscina chiudeva durante gli orari d’operazione per essere pulita (gli orari erano dalle 7.0 alle 19.0, quindi avrebbero potuto fare la pulizia prima dell’apertura). Ci voleva più d’un’ora per ricevere qualunque cosa chiedessimo, come il servizio in camera. Nessuno si è occupato del ratto nella nostra camera, benché l’avessimo richiesto diverse volte. Benché questo complesso sia gestito dal Tourism Development Corporation, gli addetti al banco del turismo al Waterscapes non erano per niente disponibili. Abbiamo dovuto usare il banco del turismo al Kumarakom Lake Resort per ottenere informazioni sui tempi Shiva da visitare, e per organizzare una piacevole gita in “house boat” (casa galleggiante) ed un eccellente trattamento ayurvedico. Dunque, non so veramente cosa dire alle persone che vogliono visitare Kumarakom perché non consiglierei che alloggino al Waterscapes finché non lo privatizzano, ma gli altri resort sono molto costosi adesso. Credo che il Waterscapes dovrebbe rendersi conto che ha l’opportunità di sfruttare una nicchia di mercato del turismo di “backwaters” per offrire un’opzione veramente 4 stelle. Ma finché non offrono sistemazioni e servizi migliori, non lo consiglierei.
