Bad staffs- lied about policy.
The staff were extremely rude and unprofessional. They initially claimed that their strict guest policy was clearly mentioned online, but later admitted that he lied.Being dishonest with guests is unacceptable.

Had to move out of Raviz to another hotel in 3 hours because of staff’s bad behavior.

As international travelers visiting Kerala, it is completely normal for us to have guests visit. Every other hotel we’ve stayed at allows visitors after proper ID verification. However, this property outright refused entry to any guests, stating they have a “different rule” because of an incident that allegedly happened last month.

Policies may vary, but transparency and professionalism should not. One particular staff member was especially unprofessional in the way they handled the situation, which made the experience even more unpleasant.

Overall, very disappointing service and poor customer handling.

The staff,right from the welcoming team ( who are so careless in even the welcome drink service), right up to kitchen, are all extremely pleasant , smart, but unfortunately, very badly trained. They are in a constant state of confusion whenever any instruction is put to them, hence delay in everything.
The food menu is so totally ethnic that the Western guests with us had hardly any choice of food. We finally had to take them out of your hotel to eat.
A good property, but if you don’t improve your training team, it’ll be just a mediocre hotel. We were a group of ten on a holiday, but will need to think twice before we return here.

Hotel of cheats. Don’t stay.

One should be very careful while booking this hotel. Even if you have chosen to pay at the property, they charge your credit card 72 hours before. My advise woukd be to avoid this hotel. They are cheats. We checked in late and by that time they charged our cards and also allotted the rooms to somebody else. They gave us a lower category room but did not compensate us. The room was very noisy. Overall a bad experience.

Extremely Disappointed with Raviz Kadavu's Service

My recent stay at Raviz Kadavu was nothing short of a nightmare. Despite providing early notification to cancel a room, I faced non-cooperative behavior from the staff. Their refusal to accommodate a cancellation request, despite prior notice, speaks volumes about their lack of customer service.

The delay in food service added to the frustration. Waiting endlessly for meals is unacceptable, especially when one is on a tight schedule or simply hungry after a long day. This negligence in service reflects poorly on the establishment's management and their commitment to customer satisfaction.

To exacerbate matters, the mishandling of lost belongings, particularly books, is utterly disappointing. Not only was there a failure to respond promptly, but the lack of accountability demonstrates a disregard for guests' belongings and their overall experience.

Overall, my experience at Raviz Kadavu was marred by pathetic service, uncooperative policies, delayed food service, and unresolved issues with lost belongings. I would strongly advise against considering this establishment for any future stays, as they have failed to meet even the most basic expectations of hospitality.

The property is really beautiful at a beautiful location on river side.
Standard room was neat and clean
Staff very humble.Breakfast was good and affordable even through we didn’t have breakfast inclusive room.
As it was our anniversary, they made it extra special by simple decorations in our room and a small cake.
Pool area was nice too.
Spa for me was too expensive so didn’t use.
There were no welcome drinks .
Check in check out very easy.
Boat is too expensive, they should provide a reasonable option.
Overall enjoyed my stay.would definitely come back.

The property was great with good rooms , nice service and spa. Lot of staff were very helpful- Frince(Cafe), Aslam and hashiq in front desk, chef prajith, shafique in spa and many more.

We were very careful about eating and ate only inside the resort. Still, many in our group got food poisoning by eating in their cafe and suffered a lot. Our entire vacation got spoiled because of it. We couldn’t move out of bed. Very horrible vacation :(

The property needs maintenance. Staff needs training, and also learn to speak English. Rooms are pretty small, compared to the pictures of property online. There was a noice due to bad electric in my room, which kept me awake whole night. The staff doesn't seem to co-operate, but all they ask is 'how do you want to make payment'?.

This is the type of resort which is only half way there...
The rooms are clean but could do with an update. The pool area is lovely but they only have six sun loungers (I had to sunbathe on the grass)...
River rooms on lower floors have palm tree view (river can not be seen as it’s behind the palm trees)
Restaurant is good.
Spa is nice and treatments very cheap.
I was in Calicut for a wedding. The hotel was a good place to stay for this event (as held on site ) but I wouldn’t book it for a holiday.

A great location and very courteous staff. Food is excellent. But that is where it stops. The building is in need of repair, sheets and towels are dirty and smelling. Both white towels in my room had brown patches and I just couldn't think of using them. Although the staff is courteous, it took a long time to provide room service (We ordered just a couple of lime juices). I am not sure if the star rating for this hotel is justified given the amenities. The management better take note.

The hotel room was nice. The rooms were excellent for the cost. The food was decent. Nothing exciting or note worthy for the food. Food prices were reasonable for the quality.
I had a slight problem with my sink. The hot water line was kinked, so it rusted and when I turned on the hot water, the faucet fell apart because of the pressure from the rust going through the aerator. I asked for it to be fixed and I think there was a language barrier. When I showed the front desk a picture of the problem 2 days later, then they sent the repair person to fix the sink. Overall I would go back again. A decent place to visit.

Excellent stay at Raviz Resort and Spa, Kadavu

We had an excellent stay at Raviz Resort and Spa, Kadavu during our visit last week in early April 2018. What stood out for us is the serene location of the resort and their awesome service. Their staff at reception, travel desk, house keeping, restaurant, IT etc. was very courteous, responsive and customer focused.

Beautiful Kerala style hotel near the backwaters

The hotel had a great peaceful ambience even though it is right by the main highway that goes to Calicut city. We had a beautiful cottage by the water. My 5 year old son loved the pool and the house boat ride. The sea food at the restaurant was also amazing. What impressed me most about Raviz Kadavu were the staff. A special mention to the manager Jayakumar (and Arun) who went out of their way to help us, as my son got injured during play during our stay there. They helped us with their private car to the hospital and kept checking on us periodically to make sure we were doing fine. We also had to check out a day early and they were extremely considerate and helped speed up the process. All in all, we would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who plans to stay in Calicut and we will go back very soon !

A nice family vacation in Calicut

One of the best place to stay in Calicut is Raviz Resorts.
The place has a large expanse, right on the river bank, is beautifully built, like an ancient castle.
The river view is mystic.
It has a reasonable size swimming pool and a nice health club.
One wouldn't miss anything staying here

This is easily the best hotel in the area! The structure is a little old, but the river / natural views and the service are splendid. The rates are also very reasonable, perhaps due to Kozhikode not being a super large city. I would come back here in a jiffy.

Opt for suite, & rooms with balcony.

Had 3 nights there as was convenient proximity to the airport. Was surprised how beautiful it was when I got there. Had a great stay, I'd go back any day.
Only complaint, the price of the wifi is a joke in comparison to the price of everything else in the hotel about 8euros a day and it cuts out on you constantly...if you want to charge me 8euros it should be flawless. Especially when wifi is no many hotels it free these days
