Positive: Little Chembaka is a one villa, 2 persons accommodation where you have the personal attention of the host/chef. The meals, (breakfast, lunch and dinner )that Jes cooked for us were exceptional; our sunrise cruise and village walk was so informative. As we eat our sumptuous meals, Jes sits and talks to us, about his life, his aspirations and we got to know so much about Kerala, in just 2 days!!
Negative: Nothing!
Summary: Want to EXPERIENCE Kerala, stay in Little Chembaka with Jes, Ray, Apu, Sanu, Srijit and Apu Jr.!

Positive: This was one of the most memorable stays we ever had, and for all the right reasons. From the moment you arrive, the Team at Little Chembaka do everything they can to make your stay the most comfortable, joyfull and entertaining ever. Jess the host, is a super friendly guy and will regale you for days with stories. He and the whole team make you feel that you just arrived at your friend's house. The room itself was very comfortable, with a large and comfy bed, and all the modern amenities that you would like. It is also stylishly decorated, with a dark wood decor that fits very nicely with the local style. And of course, you can lounge out in their veranda with a nice view over the backwaters and watch the occasional egret, kingfisher or loads of butterflies. One of the reasons we have chosen Little Chembaka is the food, which we read so many positive things about, and boy, were they all true! Breakfast and dinner cooked up by Jes and his team were THE best food we had in India, and you can really feel their passion for cooking. We had three breakfasts and dinners, all of which were different but equally tasty. We opted to do the cooking class with Jes as well, which we can only HIGHLY recommend, we learned so much about the local Keralan Cousine, went out with him to source the ingredients and got so many tips and tricks on how to cook up these amazing dishes ourselves and adjust them to the ingredients available in our home country. All in all, thank you very much to the whole team who made our stay so comfortable. Go do yourselves a favour, ditch the resorts and stay at Little Chembaka - we certainly hope to be back someday.
Negative: Absolutely nothing.

Positive: Jes is a wonderful host, he couldn’t do more for us. He’s very attentive and clearly wants to ensure everyone is having the best time possible. The room (it is a single room stay) is beautiful and spacious with a porch overlooking the water - perfect for spending hot afternoons relaxing.
Negative: While not an issue for us, LC is out of the way and you need to rely either on taxis/tuk-tuks or organising everything through Jes. Something to consider if this fits your travel goals

Positive: A gorgeous place to stay where we had the most delicious meals conjured up by Sanu and Jes and a wonderful backwater cruise for 3 hours late afternoon on their own boat. The boys are delightful to chat with and are extremely generous. We hope to return to this unique place in the future and we sincerely hope that it does not change in any way. Coming from a resort hotel just prior to our stay, it was just what we needed to find.
