Pros:

Alchemist villa in Kazhakkoottam is in a calm place which is bit away form the city chaos. Situated in a village like atmosphere, away from the noise of city. The rooms were good. Had a kitchen consisting of fridge, stove, utensils and other things. The staff which present in the site was also nice and helpful.

Cons:

The shower was not working. Unfortunately, I didn't reported it to the host. There was no other issues were there for me. Also, the bed was bit lower and widely which made bit uncomfortable while sleeping.

I won't come back
Pros:

The host was always in touch, was generally friendly, and allowed us to check out late. The second place was ok.

Cons:

The first place was dirty, the air conditioning barely worked, the electricity and Wi-Fi often went out, and because of this, we couldn't work. So the next morning, we asked for a refund and wanted to leave. But they said they couldn't refund our money before we fly out of the country and offered us another place. We agreed because it was a compromise and we needed to work. The other place was better than the first, but also had issues with cleanliness. It was very unpleasant that after we hastily left the first place because we didn't like it, the host used our photos to advertise this place and didn't want to delete them until I threatened to contact Booking.com and Instagram support. Also, because of the poor conditions, my friend burst into tears due to stress, and the host suggested she take a selfie right after her tears. And after this whole unpleasant experience, the host persistently offered us to make a video where we praised his place. I am honestly shocked by such tactlessness

Work required
Pros:

Room was clean and host was very helpful. He gave us all we asked for and provided an iron to help with the washing.

Cons:

The approach to the hotel was not great. There is plastic bags, bottles and general rubbish around the entrance and in the garden where we hung out our wet washing. It wouldn't take much to clear this up and give a much better first impression. The bed was hard and the pillows were very thin. I had to fold it in half to give it any depth to put my head on.

Very comfortable, pleasant homestay, with a fanatastic host!
Pros:

Jithu is a fantastic host, he went above and beyond the normal scope of a caretaker/host, by collecting me from the bus stop when I arrived in Kazhakkoottam the homestay is comfortable and has good transport links to the city center and local beach. The room was clean and felt homely, bathroom facilities were also good and the homestay provided great value for money!
