Sharing houseboat
5 or 7+ bedroom houseboat is given as a sharing basis, each couple will get separate rooms with the attached bathroom in one houseboat. They can share a common lobby, dining area, top floor, sun deck etc, this is called a sharing houseboat.
Just think that you are staying at a 3-star hotel. You are getting a private room and you go to a common restaurant to dining. Similar way you are staying houseboat which is floating/cruising and you can hang out around the houseboat just like a hotel. There is enough space for all guests. The upper deck area is commonly using for dining purposes.

I was confused while booking shared houseboat. we have limited budget. also want to know whats is houseboat. So we end up with shared houseboat. While reaching on alleppey we found that the shared houseboats are larger than we can imagine. Big boat with multiple rooms and upperdeck. i feel that i stayed in hotel which is floating in backwater. 🙂 Its nice experience. Every rooms was bathroom attached. Its worthy every penny we spend. thatks
