FAQ Frequently Asked Questions
  • Why choose Metour.it as your reliable online travel agency?
    Metour.it is committed to offering travelers authentic and unforgettable experiences. As a leading trusted online travel agency, we stand out for our dedication to quality, safety and customer satisfaction. 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.

Perfect 👌
It was one of the most wonderful experience. Celebrated my birthday on the Houseboat..The crew took care of us all along ..food made by Ranjeet chef was scrumptious.. Everything was smooth from boarding till disembarkation ..
We had taken a two night cruise and at the end we felt it was way too less, next time will definitely opt for three or four nights cruise ..
Highly recommended
Thnx everyone
Dear Sir,
Thank you for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed our Houseboat, service, food and staff during your two-night stay. Please convey our sincere gratitude to Mrs. Mahie Gill for being part of this team. We look forward to welcoming you all back soon for a four night stay.!
Thanks & Regards,

Highlight of our tour
This was the highlight of our South India holiday and we will highly recommend. The captain and chef onboard took care of us from the time we on boarded our deluxe honeymoon houseboat. The bedroom was fully air-conditioned, upper relaxing deck had a large fan and was undercover too.
The Kerala lunch was amazing with fry fish, sambal and rice.
Dinner was jumbo prawns and mud crabs Kerala style.
Next morning breakfast onboard had fresh fruit juice, fresh fruit, omelette and masala tea.
Great to take families in the larger vessels with 2 or 3 bedrooms.
Dear Mrs.Saazdha and Mr.Sheikhil Khan,
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the houseboat, staff service, and food. We're also glad you had the chance to take photos with Bollywood celebrities at our office. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!
Thanks & Regards,

The most incredible experience - highly recommend!
The most incredible time staying on a beautiful houseboat (Chalaryi) and cruising the backwaters of Kerala. The team (Sony, Manoj, JJ and Joby) were amazing, so attentive to our every need. The chef prepared the most wonderful meals, and we loved trying the traditional food, tailored to our specific tastes! They were so welcoming and friendly, nothing was a trouble and we felt so comfortable and safe under their care. We would highly recommend Xandari because of the wonderful experience the team provided us with! The facilities exceeded our expectations - the room was so comfortable, beyond many hotels! There was AC and a well equipped bathroom with everything we needed! We truly felt spoiled in this authentic but luxurious, very unique experience! We will definitely return! Our only regret is that we didn't stay for longer and book several nights! Thank you so much for everything - it was truly perfect!
Thank you for taking the time to post your review. We are so happy that you had a great time with us

Crociera 5 stelle
Bellissima crociera nelle backwaters di Alleppey con Xandari.
La barca e’ molto bella e il servizio da 5 stelle. Merita sicuramente il viaggio.
Cibo abbondante e ottimo, crew professionale e sempre a disposizione.
Pur viaggiando sola mi sono sentita tranquilla e a mio agio.

Calme et tranquillité
Une demie-journée et une nuit à bord de ce bateau privatisé pour notre groupe de 4 filles, 3 membres d'équipage adorables et aux petits soins pour nous (Joseph, Princi et Biby). Déjeuner, gouter, diner et petit-déjeuner copieux et délicieux, préparés par notre cuisinier Joseph. Un moment de détente au long de ces backwaters, des chambres très confortables, une terrasse abritée où l'on prend les repas au calme. Après l'agitation de la ville, cela fait du bien de se reposer sur cet houseboat. Je recommande vivement cette balade sur l'eau. Un enchantement !

Un super séjour sur l’houseboat Xandari riverscape
Très beau bateau très bien aménagé, je conseille de choisir un bateau avec un étage pour pouvoir profiter pleinement du paysage tout en étant seul. L’équipage est super, au petit soin tout en étant très discret. Les deux repas et le petit déjeuner très copieux étaient délicieux. Nous avons passé un très bon et paisible moment.

Une journée de rève
Quel enchantement : le bateau très confortable, l'équipage (3 personnes) aux petits soins pour nous et en même temps très discrets, le cadre enchanteur, les repas et petits déjeuners excellents et quel bonheur de naviguer en admirant le paysage, la vie sur les berges. Et le soir de pouvoir débarquer pour une promenade sur les berges et admirer le coucher du soleil ! Inoubliable.
Hi Sir,

Thank you for staying with us and we are delighted to note that you had an enjoyable stay with us.

Stay on houseboat with trained staff cruising on backwater watching the local life is one of the best way to get away from the crowd. Food served on board is Traditional Kerala Cuisine which is one of the highlights.

The feedback from esteemed guests like you that keep our team motivated and assist in achieving the highest level of guest satisfaction & services.

We Xandarian's look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit to Alleppey.

Thank you

Wunderbare Erfahrung
Wir haben eine Nacht als Privatreise auf einem Hausboot verbracht und wir haben jeden Augenblick genossen.
Der Standard unseres Bootes war sehr hoch. Das Zimmer war in sehr gutem Zustand und auch die öffentlichen Bereiche waren sehr gut gepflegt. Die Ausstattung hatte Liebe fürs Detail und war sehr sauber.
Der Service an Bord war dezent und gleichzeitig sehr aufmerksam.
Besonders erwähnenswert war die Leistung des Kochs, der auf kleinstem Raum tolle Mahlzeiten gezaubert hat und auch flexible auf unseren Wunsch, keinen Fisch zu essen, reagieren konnte.
Wir würden gerne wieder kommen und dann gerne länger als eine Nacht an Bord verbringen!
Madam,

Thank you for your valuable feedback on your stay with us. We at Xandari give high priority for cleanliness and maintenance of the boats. All our chef employed with us are experienced and trained to handle the requirements of the guest. Happy to know that the chef on board had catered to your requirements. We are definitely looking forward to you stay with us and happy to host you for more days.

Looking forward to you stay with us in future.

Tolle Reise mit dem privaten Hausboot
Xandari Riverscapes hat ein paar tolle Hausboote um die Backwater zu erkunden.
Mit an Board kommen jeweils ein Kapitän, ein Engineer und ein Koch.
Alle sind sehr sehr freundlich und aufmerksam.

Die Kabinen haben AC, Doppelbett und ein kleines Badezimmer mit Dusche und einem WC.
Grunsätzlich ist alles sehr sauber, das Badezimmer hald teils etwas rostig.

Der Koch fragt nach den Essenszeiten und bereitet dann verschiedene vegetarische und nicht vegetarische Gerichte zu. Man kann dann selber bestimmen was man essen möchte. Zu trinken gibt es Mineralwasser oder zum Frühstück verschiedene Säfte.

Am Abend gibt es meist noch eine Tour mit einem kleineren Boot um die Kanäle anzuschauen.
Mückenspray nicht vergessen, eventuell ist eine Taschenlampe sinnvoll.

Liebe Alexandra,

Wir freuen uns, dass du einen tollen Aufenthalt an Bord der Xandari Riverscapes verbracht hast.

Wir kümmern uns regelmäßig um die Instandhaltung unserer Immobilien und sorgen dafür, dass alles sauber und gepflegt ist.

Unsere Speisekarte umfasst sowohl vegetarische als auch nicht-vegetarische Gerichte und wir versuchen zu servieren, was auch immer unsere Gäste wünschen.

In der Tat gibt es einige sehr schöne Orte entlang der Kanäle zu erkunden und wir arrangieren das gleiche für die Gäste auf Anfrage.

Komm zurück für schönere Erfahrungen.

Herzliche Grüße,

Un escape acuático
Nuestra experiencia fue extraordinaria. Comenzando por la hermosa tripulación que nos atendió. A todo momento pendientes de nosotros. La comida, cena y desayunos fueron deliciosos. Nuestro chef aceptó sugerencias y creo platillos deliciosos, perfectamente caseros. Café, y delicias dulces no nos faltaron durante el trayecto. Por la noche la tranquilidad y el vaivén del agua nos dió un sueño reparador. Nuestra embarcación "NEYYAR" fue estupenda y limpia con todas las comodidades.
Dear PablOsset,

Thank you for your appreciation. The Xandari Riverscapes is proud of its fleet of houseboats that move across the backwaters of Allepey. The experience is thrilling and gifts our guests with many cherished memories. The Xandari Riverscapes, offers a unique experience that has many guests returning time and again, just to refresh their memories of their holidays!

The food is cooked on board using ingredients that are sourced from local farmers and fishermen. The menu is highly varied as it depends on the ingredients itself.

We are glad that you enjoyed your stay with us and hope to see more of you in the years ahead

regards

Pesima experiencia
Por casualidad, buscando cruceros me he encontrado con la pagina de Xandari Riverscapes en India. Antes se llamaba "AC DELUXE HOUSEBOAT"(Raxa Collective River Scapes), (MUTHOOT HOUSEBOAT).
Nosotros contratamos sus servicios mediante la compañía "COMPASS INDIA", un crucero de 2 días y una noche para 6 personas en un bote.
Debido al trafico llegamos 30'' tarde al embarque, el barco que nos ofrecían no era el contratado nos tuvieron 2 horas esperando para contrastarlo con la agencia y no nos dejaron mas opcion.
El estado del barco era lamentable, tres dormitorios uno de ellos debía de estar utilizandolo alguien de la tripulación, ya que estaba desordenado y sucio con la cama desordenada y ropa por doquier. Lo arreglaron y embarcamos, con todo esto siendo las 15h. no nos dieron de comer.
Navegamos por los canales y el lago 1 hora hasta llegar a un embarcadero donde el barco paro y sin mas explicaciones la tripulación se bajo y se puso a jugar al cricket con otros los tripulantes de otras 2 embarcaciones que estaban atracadas cerca de la nuestra. No dieron explicaciones solo que la cena se serviría en un rato. Pasaron 2 horas, sin nada que hacer ni ver mas que a los chicos jugar al cricket, ni un refresco ni un agua nada de nada. Cuando anochecio, nos dieron una escueta y escasa cena y no nos quedo otra que irnos a dormir.
Las habitaciones pequeñas, la que habían arreglado con el baño roto, si nada mas en ellas.
Al día siguiente temprano nos dieron un desayuno y el barco retorno al embarcadero sin hacer paradas.
Como crucero, es de las experiencias mas lamentables y pobres que hemos tenido. El personal del barco pasaba olímpicamente del pasaje tanto en nuestro barco como en el de los otros pasajeros con los que coincidimos en el atraque para pernoctar y comentamos nuestra experiencia. Todos asombrados del mal comportamiento de las tripulaciones y lo pobre del crucero, en el transcurso del itinerario vimos otros barcos algunos de ellos como el nuestro y la mayor parte mejores. Un verdadero timo.
La compañía a la que se le comento el mal comportamiento de su tripulación, dio la callada por respuesta y la compañía de viajes Compass nos insinuó que habían enviado una reclamación a la de los cruceros, pero no supimos mas.
En resumidas cuentas una experiencia lamentable, no tanto por lo breve y escueto del rrecorrído, si no mas aun por el lamentable comportamiento de la tripulación que ignoraba olímpicamente a su pasaje.
Hello,
We’ve looked through all of our reservations, as well as contacted Compass India, and we have no record of any 3 bedroom houseboat booking from that agency during the time you’re referencing. We have continued to check with the travel company to figure out where the communication gap is.
We have only had good quality service delivery and have a special charted docking area where our guests can relax with beautiful views. We have a strong guest feedback mechanism and we haven’t heard of any such an incident with lack of food or damaged toilets on our boats. As we have no information from Compass please feel free to write to me at om.re@raxacollective.com to directly give us the details of your name and date of travel so we can try to get your complaint to the correct company.

Großartig, aber eine Nacht ist ausreichend.
Ich habe lange nach schönen Hausbooten gesucht und mich dann für Xandari entschieden.
Bestimmt eine der teuersten Optionen, aber es hat sich gelohnt.
Wir hatten ein tolles Boot mit einer super Lounge Area im UpperDeck...mit schönen Liegemöglichkeit .
Man schippert dann mit Kapitän, Steward und Koch durch die Backwaters , bekommt ständig was leckeres serviert und am Nachmittag macht man noch mit einem Kanu einen kleine Tour durch die schmaleren Kanäle.Traumhaft und sehr idyllisch.
Ich habe mir beim rumschippern auch die anderen Boote angeschaut...und soweit ich das sehen konnte sind die Xandaris die schönsten und gepflegtesten.
Wichtig:
Wenn man etwas anderes als Tee,Kaffee, Wasser trinken möchte, muss man das noch vor dem Ablegen sagen, dann kaufen sie das noch ein..sonst gibt es nichts anderes.

Eine klare Empfehlung für Xandari...allerdings würde ich persönlich auch nur eine Nacht buchen..das reicht..ich glaube länger wird es etwas langweilig.
Hello Caterina,

We're happy to hear that you enjoyed your backwater experience, and are honoured that you found our boats to be the best.

We offer authentic Kerala cuisine along with a relaxing, comfortable time in beautiful surroundings. The canoe through smaller canals provides a glimpse into Alleppey village life.

Thanks again for your comments. For other nights we urge you to try other Xandari properties, Xandari Pearl at Marari Beach is a short ride from the houseboat base, and Xandari Harbour in historic Fort Kochi is 40 kilometers north. Come enjoy them all!

Muthoot River Escapes einfach herrlich entspannend und schön
Wir hatten zu zweit ein Hausboot für uns alleine, welches sehr schön war. Ich hatte allerdings vorab ein Upgrade gebucht. Unser Schlafzimmer und Bad war sauber, mit Klimaanlage und wie in einem Hotel. Die Besatzung bestand aus einem Kapitän, einem Koch und einem Ingenieur. Alle waren sehr freundlich. Die Fahrt durch die Backwaters genossen wir auf dem oberen Deck in gemütlichen Sesseln. Es wurden Getränke gereicht. Unterwegs hatte uns die Besetzung sogar Bier und Wein besorgt. Am Abend legte das Boot an einem ruhigen Platz inmitten von Reisfeldern an, wo wir die Nacht verbrachten. Am Morgen nach dem Frühstück ging es zurück in den Hafen. Ein tolles Erlebnis!
Das Angebot einer Kanufahrt durch die kleinen Kanäle um Einheimische zu "besichtigen" haben wir nicht angenommen, da wir es nicht mögen anders lebende Leute zu betrachten...
Hello Martina!
We couldn't agree more that spending time in the calm of the Kerala backwaters is one of the best shared experiences we know of! Gentle breezes, freshly prepared Alleppey cuisine and friendly staff make good memories indeed.
We're happy to hear that you enjoyed it!

Einfach nur schön
Um es vorwegzunehmen - ich bin schon viel herumgekommen, aber die Fahrt auf dem Hausboot in Kerala war eines der schönsten Erlebnisse die ich je hatte. Alles hat perfekt geklappt. Bei der Ankunft im Hafen werden Kokosnüsse und Erfrischungstücher gereicht. Unser Boot hatte 3 klimatisierte Schlafzimmen, jeweils mit Bad, einen Salon im vorderen Bereich des Bootes und eine "Veranda" im "ersten Stock" (sehr zu empfehlne, da man alleine und unabhängig von der Mannschaft ist. Die Mannschaft bestand aus 4 Personen, die einem alle Wünsche von der Augen abgelesen haben. Vollpension und Getränke (nicht alkoholische) inklusive. Ausflüge und Besichtigen werden organisiert. Aber am schönsten ist es beinahe lautlos durch die Kanäle zu gleiten und die Landschaft, die Dörfer und die Menschen auch sich wirken zu lassen. Selten eine so entspannende Fahrt erlebt. Pro Tag wird ungefähr für 5 Stunden gefahren. Zu Mittag und am Abend wird angelegt und man kann den Sonnenuntergang geniessen.

Alles in Allem einfach traumhaft und sehr zu empfehlen.
Hello!
Our goal was to provide the luxury of calm and privacy in a beautiful, natural setting with friendly staff and delicious food. On the Kerala's backwaters you enter a culture largely left untouched by time – with people going about their daily business of waterfront life. Lonely Planet recently noted Kerala's backwaters among the top things to do in all India - We're so happy to hear that you chose to experience with us.

Since your travels we've rebranded as Xandari Riverscapes - so should your travels take you to Costa Rica, do look us up. And if Kerala is on your map again, we’d love to host you by the beach or on the harbour. More travels to you!
