    Host cum chef Jasvanth made our stay a wonderful experience of Kerala.
    Very tastefully designed room and bathroom. It gives nice cozy & warm feeling. They have provided all the essentials for a traveller. Great location by the river. You can take a boat ride from the property as the hosts operate sunrise and sunset tours by canoes/luxury 2 seat boat and multistage boats. There is a professional kitchen attached to the room to experience authentic Kerala cuisine by the passionate chef/Co-owner who doesnt run out fascinating stories of his adventures/experiences. Very impressed with the entire team - chef, helper, driver, guide, host.. who are working under the trade name of experience Kerala. You can experience tasting sweet toddy on your sunrise yours. Sumptuous Kerala breakfast served by the chef is included in the price. Highly recommended it.

    The boat rental happens at the property. So you may see other guests in the morning or evening in the front yard but in very small groups of 2 or 3 people. In two days we saw only 2 groups coming by. No disturbance at all. Otherwise its a private experience at this property.

    The best Kerala stay i will ever have. And i am going back again
    Starting from the location. The ambience. The arrangements. The attention to detail. The whole architecture and setup of the place. The facilities. The humble and exceptional hosts. The amazing food they offer. The amazing tours they offer. The hospitality. The comfortable rooms. The 24x7 assistance. Everything about this place is amazing. The visuals that you get at this place in the morning, during the day,at night are just mesmerizing. You simply can't get enough of this place.

    Authentic experience thats more than just a place to sleep
    This was the best place we stayed during our month long trip in India. A very authentic experience which we felt lucky to have had. This isnt just a room, you get the full package, cooking classes, boat trips, incredible food all day, local tours. If you do anything in India stay here! It turned out to be a highlight of our trip. Everyone made us feel welcome and party of their family, the food Jesvants cooks it to an extremely high level. Thanks for an amazing experience to everyone who made our stay so good!

    Small is definitely beautiful! We so much enjoyed being gently helped to understand Kerela culture.
    This was a highlight of our trip to India. The team in Little Chembaka are wonderful, not only the accommodation but also the cooking class, the boat rides and the excellent conversations. This is a team with top class values and top class delivery! We were sorry to leave it had been such a great visit. It felt like we were being welcomed into a lovely little family. We relaxed, we enjoyed and we learned!
    Everything was excellent. The weather was wet at times but in fact we found plenty to entertain us in the residence

    Unique place, Simply stunning!
    I felt like a queen in this place. Its a one bedroom accommodation, so I had all the attention and pampering from the staff. Jes and Suleka were so lovely and cooked different foods for me everyday! Hes is so attentive and really paid attention to all my preferences and made sure Id always have a great food experience The location is really beautiful! You open your door and the canal is just in front of your room. Theres a beautiful garden where you can chill, relax. From there you can also take a boat or the kayak and explore the backwaters. Its simply amazing! Id recommend the sunrise boat ride for magical effect, like Jes says. The room was spotless clean, snellling good and fresh! But the decoration and attention to detail is what really caught my attention. Its difficult to find places like this in India, in my opinion. This was one of my best experiences staying somewhere. The staff is also very open minded and will make sure to take in any recommendations for improvements you might have for them. I really wish Jes and his team all the best with project! They are heart centered people and really focus on providing a unique experience to their guests. Thats what I had!

    Perfect and affordable homestay in Kumarakom

    Nothing that bothered us too much

    My wife & I visited Little Chembaka from Australia for 3 nights & what a treat that was! One of the owners, Vimal went absolutely above & beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. If you're after a genuine, local, proper foodie experience in the stunning Kumarakom backwaters we highly recommend this little gem. Cheers, Mark & Niv

    Little Chembaka is named after the flower Chembaka (Champak in English, Swarna Champa in Bengali). Just like the wonderful smell of the delicate flower, this place evokes a charm on you as you step in. It is managed by wonderful people who are passionate about hospitality. If you want to explore the backwater like a local away from the frequent sounds of motorboat engines and dip your finger in the petrichor of Kerala, this is the place for you. This is perhaps the best location for a couple or a small family and the attention you will get from Sanu, Vimal, and others are exemplary. I seldom feel like home in a vacation rental but this place was unique and I hope it stays that way.

    Best stay in India
    I loved staying at Little Chembaka, it was by far the best one in India. Jesvanth is an awsome host and makes the whole stay very special taking care of every detail. He really cares about people and showing you the local culture. Its a very customized experience startibg by the cooking and the food and the boat rides!! The place is clean, beautifully located and confortable. Awsome stay totally recommended!
    The only improvement is they should accept cards as a paymwnt method.
