I spent two weeks at Sarovaram last year. it was during the rainy season and it was awesome. it was not to hot. The results from the treatments were positive. I definitely want to go back. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Bring a lot of books, as there is no TV or other interruptions.

We had again 2 wonderful weeks at this tropical garden resort. The treatments advised through Dr. Kiran and done by Mr. Raju and Ms Shari were really beneficial. The dishes made by Mr. Kanan and his staff fulfilled all our wishes. This location in a tropical garden is the best to relax and reinforce the energy. All the products are made by the attached pharmacy and are in best GMP quality. We share will come back

Stayed with my family for a day, Dec 26-27 2017 .. Actually it was unplanned trip and we ended up Sarovaram for Stay .. Best Ambience with lot of tress around , great view of the lake, helpful staff , chef and helpers service was excellent. Room was good and had enough essestials. Massage was good and its vfm. Food was so great :)))) .. I rate 5 stars for stay and service they provide. Will visit them again :) .. Thank you Doctor Sunil for wonderful experience and stay

Pros: Once you enter into Sarovaram you won't feel like you're in an Ayurvedic Hospital but feels homely. Treatment lasted for 14 days and now I feel much healthier and I sincerely thank therapist Ms. Shari for her excellent service. Overall ambience is excellent Kudos to Dr. Kiran and the entire team for their professional and friendly approach. Tasty and authentic Kerala cuisines prepared in good and hygiene background Thanks to Aneesh and chief Cook Dineesh. All these done under the supervision of Mr. Kannan. He's really job oriented. The way Dr. Kiran and his wife deal with his employees and guests (patients) was excellent so does his prior analysis to all our body issues. Cons:Mosquitoes was everywhere No walkways nearby the backwaters No Wi-Fi provided at the Cottages nor at the restaurant

Sarovaram is a beautiful Ayurveda retreat location run by Dr. Kiran, who is very dedicated to healing people with Ayurveda. Rather than focussing on a resort-type place, he focuses his efforts on maintaining the authenticity of traditional Ayurveda treatments. This makes it a great place to go if you want to heal yourself- it certainly helped me immensely with my chronic symptoms of low hemoglobin, body ache and digestive problems that I have had for several years. The team is also wonderful with very good massage therapists, excellent kitchen and room service, and the place is also located directly on the beautiful Ashtamudi lake. One can do early morning yoga while watching the sunrise above the lake- a wonderful healing experience to be there.

All in all, visiting Sarovaram was one of the highlights of my trip. Dr. Kiram and the entire staff very much pampered us. We were well tended to, and the treatments were good. It is my 2nd experience with ayurveda. For those being introduced to it, this is a good start. Becasue I could only devote 8 days, my treatment consisted mostly of body work and preparation of the body, and some other basic ayuerveda steam and oil treatment. I was not introduced to any Panchakarma as it was too short of a trip for me. The facilities are very special, and extemely serene. I was able to start my day with a swim in the Ashtamudi Lake, which is a salt backwater of kerala. The food was good, especially Lunch. The staff made me feel extremely welcome and were really kind throughout. It was a pleasure to get to know them. The rooms are really nice. There are only 9 cabins and they are all great from what I can see. the only negative I experienced is that the place caters only to Europeans. It seems a little resort-like and maybe removed. I personally live in Europe so to travel and be only amongst Europeans was a bit of a shame.

We visited this wonderful place for the 6 time to improve our health. We got 2 treatments per day during our 16 days stay by the very experienced therapists Mr. Sadhi, Mr. Radju and Ms. Sari under advice of Dr. Kiran and his wife Dr. Sunethri. Almost all health problems are cured and we feel 10 years younger. Although the meals are really Ayurvedic detoxifying every year they taste better to our western flavour because the cooks are really endevoring. Needless to say that Dr. Kiran and his wife make every effort to feel like a part of their Ayurvedic family. We like and need this tropical garden and energetically strong place so much, we will sure come back next year. Many thanks to all the staff

I decided to go for a three-day check-in as a last-minute decision and I booked Sarovaram because it seemed away from the 'typical' resorts at Kovalam and around. Although the trip here from the airport is about two hours by the road (and you have no option but to hire a taxi or to hire a car from Sarovaram), once you get to the resort located in a smallish village, it's worth the travel. A quiet, lakeside resort with minimum distractions, Sarovaram is an ideal place to get away. The treatments that were limited since I stayed for a very short duration were very good, and I can't recommend Jayanti enough. The housekeeping staff is sweet and friendly. Dr Kiran was available for any consultation and I intend to return there for a longer stay sometime soon.

My daughter(almost 20) and I spent recently a week at Sarovaram Ayurvedic Center. We got a warm welcome, much concern during the consultation with Dr Kiran and care and concern during the treatments. We are grateful to the whole staff, very professional and so kind. In such a short time we could feel much better. We warmly recommend this nice and peaceful Center, in a way "out of time

My 84 year old mother and I spent 10 days in the idyllic surroundings of Sarovaram Health Center in December 2015. The light vegetarian meals were excellent and the staff were very helpful. My special thanks to Dr. Kiran for taking extraordinary efforts to find the special eye medication that my mother was on, to Kannan for helping out my mother on a day she fell ill and to all the staff in general who were always friendly and polite. My mother was later treated by Dr. Kiran and brought back to her usual vibrant self very quickly. The daily massages took away the aches and pains that I had and together with the medications that I was given I had never felt better. The only minor irritant was the weak and intermittent WiFi that was only available in the dining area. On the very first day Dr. Kiran had told us to treat Sarovaram as our home and not a hotel and sure enough it was just that and much much more...

We went for quiet and peacefull place. Settled next to a lake this retreat was absolutely magical. The sound of the Nature, festivals, prays and rain..... all in one! We loved it! 14 days should be enough for having a rest, detox or purification and getting a peace in your mind. Two treatments per day is too much, I recomend only one. The best choice for comming is to Trivandrum airport ( 80kms - max. 1,20h). You can visit Kollam by bus, boat or car. CAR-Negociate always the price cause if not, you´ll be paying a fortune!!There is a lot to see, food market is amazing! Very nice trip was to VArkala beach, more turists, lots of restaurants with a wiew and small shops all around. We also ride an elephant!! Next time we want to try Housboat trip. Sarovaram has a good location, delightfully tasty food, and excellent customer service. Dr.Kiron, Kana, Binu, Vishnu, Aniz, Gobi, Lina and all the others were lovely to us. We felt very happy and gratefull for that. I practiced Yoga every morning with Prof.Abraham, excelent teacher! I felt lots of changes in me with his respiratory exercises (pranayamas). Highly recommend. The treatment was very efficient, amazing massage.(the table- should have more confort for those who have cervical or lombar problems). You can try some beauty treatments - with face masks, really nice! The rooms are simple, no wifi, no A\C but for a good reason, treatment has much more result in you. You should drink lots of hot water during the day and have a rest! This is the secret. There are mosquitos, so take more repellent! The room is cleaned very well every day. We definitelly come back and recommend to aour friends!

We stayed in the health centre with my wife we had a lovely time we had a very good experience with the ayurveda treatment. it is very quiet and super relaxing place ever in south india. Food was awesome,fresh and served with a sweet smile by the staff all good no complaint.

I came to this place intentionally for the second time for good treatments, tasty food and friendly environment. If you are tired of megapolis and its rhythm - its definitely a right place to relax and become energetic. I think Dr. Koran is doing his best to make the place better and better. Hope to be back next year.

I went for quiet and that's exactly what I got. Delightfully tasty food, and excellent customer service. Nestled next to a lake this retreat is absolutely magical. ((Make sure you take mosquito repellent!!))

I spent eight most amazing days at Sarovaram Ayurvedic Backwater Health Center. Being a medical student, I had hoped not only to experience a professional ayurvedic treatment but also to learn more about ayurvedic medicine. What I found at Sarovaram was way beyond my expectations. First of all, Dr. Kiran is a highly experienced and intelligent doctor with a strong motivation to treat his patients in the best possible way. He pays close attention to what his patients are telling him and examines them properly. During the course of the treatment, Dr. Kiran keeps an eye on each patient, constantly asking for changes and improvements concerning their condition. Moreover, Dr. Kiran is happy to share his knowledge with anybody seriously interested in ayurvedic medicine. Sarovaram's massage therapists all have more than a decade of work experience and are passionate about their job. Needless to say that the massages I received were outstanding. The next thing that makes Sarovaram a heavenlike place is it's excellent food. Every meal is a three-course vegetarian dosha-balanced menu with some of the finest foods I have had in Kerala. In addition to all this, the grounds of Sarovaram are right on the lake shore with many kinds of trees, birds and flowers. At nightfall, the atmosphere is almost magical when the chanting of the temples from around the lake can be heared. The bottom line is that I highly recommend a stay at Sarovaram Ayurvedic Backwater Health Center to anyone looking for a professional ayurvedic treatment in one of India's most peaceful and inspiring settings.

A wonderful place for mind and - especially - body. Lots of good treatments and a caring serviceminded staff. Beatifully located - safe and secure. I highly recommend this resort in all aspects. Peter Mose, Denmark

This is a wonderfull place to go if you want to be in a beatiful, peaceful, kind and caring environment while receiving professional ayurvedic treatment. We stayed 20 days and left with lighter hearts, minds and bodies :-)

During our rush rush itinerary of Kerala in 4 days, we rested at this peaceful ashram-like resort located in wonderful surroundings. A bit difficult to find in the crowds and lanes of Kollam if your driver is overconfident but ignorant!! The resort is more geared for 2 or 3 weeks, but even one night stay in beautiful "huts" without TV, without AC, without WiFi can be a forced relaxation and exercise in simplicity. Simple small portions of food and excellent Ayurvedic massage makes your day or night a memorable event. Everyone is very polite, smiling, helpful and friendly. We were a party of 4 adults, and we liked it a lot.

It was the fifth time that we were coming for à three week cure here at Sarovaram. And it was even better than the previous times. The medical approach is more detailed and carefull. I strongly advise that you bring all médical records re' your situation, as Dr Kiran, head of the center, will need them to make à full médical assessment of your condition. The therapists are good as always (we had two treatments per day) the gardens around the large lake carefully tendered, the vegetalian food is good ( I lost 5 kg, without being hungry), the staff eager to help and the nine bungalows kept clean. I could not recommend more this place.

if u havegood memories to cherish then those were the best moments in ur life. We really had 'the best time'while we were at sarovaram.we throughly enjoyed the stay n Hats off to the mgt n staff for the outstanding service!
