As stated earlier, there are close to a thousand houseboats in Alleppey. Each owner tries to out do the other in the construction of the boat. But, however big, luxurious and comfortable the Boat is,it is the on board staff that ultimately makes or breaks the trip.
Johnson’s staff are well-trained, genuinely hospitable, polite & non-intrusive. The food is bought fresh from the market, cooked on board and is plentiful. The one complaint from his guests is- too much good food. Johnson will take that complaint, every time –‘With Pride’. Fishing with local cane rods or nets, and village walks are organized by staff.
Luggage of guests can be left at Johnson's homestay for the duration of the trip. Very convenient for travellers carrying heavy backpacks.
