The rooms were very clean and the caretaker Akhil was very helpful , he arranged a rental scooter and dropped us to the bus stop on the day of check-out.

    I stayed in Varkala for 3 nights.

    I stayed in Varkala for 3 nights. This was mainly due to train timings. 2 nights would’ve been enough. I did a yoga class and auryvedic massage on the last day this would have been better in the second day. What I did find slightly confusing was the references to North & South Cliff whereas I think South Cliff was an extension of the cliff walk - starting with North cliff. Plenty of choice for food although a particular favourite was Sun Francisco - the Veg Tali was delicious and good value for money.

    Varkala beach is busy very busy on weekends with lots of Indian tourists. The cliff side walk has lots of restaurants and shops. We found the beach a bit rough with the waves but beyond the waves it was calm . The stairs to the beach can be challenging if you have knee issues . It’s has a good atmosphere but we prefer less touristy places hence staying at Odayam each area .

    Touristic place.

    Touristic place. So lots of restaurants with a large variety of meals, bars, shops, ressorts, loud music, massage. Best restaurant is Clafouti for me. Nice beaches, big temple. This is a tourist destination. India' s soul not there. Crowdy, noisy, pushy salesmen, beggers, stray dogs. Pretty dirty environment cause of littering. 2 to 3 days stay is enough.

    Beautiful views from the cliffs, plenty of beaches, option to learn surfing (!), good food, and the most gorgeous mangrove/backwaters (30 mins away).... that's Varakala in nutshell. Lovely cliffside walks with breaks for some ice cream at Scoopy or a whole Israeli breakfast(yummmm) at Buddha Bar. We loved ABBA for all other hunger pangs. Having a rented scooter to go around the places away from the cliffs helps, but there were plenty of Autos as well.

    Its took travel time is too far, Kerala roads are not good. Many people not follow traffic rules. Really upset to road travel to Kerala. Many sign boards are shown only in Malayalam Language, we struggled with read. Except that places are really good and peoples also very friendly.

    Quiet residential cosmopolitan locality on peaceful South Cliff, away from the bustle of North Cliff in Dec last week. Quick access to vast clean and desolate beach. Auto stand is opposite to the property. Lot of good eateries nearby. Our host recommended chimney restaurant and it didn't dissapoint. Our favourite place here was the terrace garden.All its greenery, excellent sea view and little secrets like the fish trough. The cups of tea in the morning and night sky photography still linger. Go get it.

    Lovely place in a great location on the north cliff in Varkala, around 5 minute to the beach. Extremely close to all the restaurants/shops along the cliff but set back slightly so it is nice and quiet. Nice room with good fan, hot water and Wi-Fi. Nice little outdoor area outside the room with table and chairs which was shared with another room. Free water refills. Able to pay by card. The host was very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend.

    First and foremost we loved the ambience and had an amazing experience. In addition to the good accomodation the breakfast they served was very good. Just a few steps away from the beach, it was nice and peaceful place. The service by Thayub and John made us very comfortable and also they helped us to navigate varkala throughout the stay. Just a phone call away, they served at best. Looking forward to stay there again.

    Nevertheless the location of this place is perfect. Right at the beginning of the cliff way and also not to far from the beach. Eventhough the terrace did not look exactly as on the photos it was nice and has a partial sea view where we have enjoyed the sunset mutliple times. Also the host was very friendly and helpful and even offered to show us around varkala on a scooter. The AC in the room worked well.

    Honestly the best i could've got for the price paid. The property is fairly new and clean unlike other hostels, the location is 2 mins walk from Odayam beach (which again is very clean and serene), the manager and the owner are warm and overall the vibe of cliff and coral is amazing. You should definitely go with this hostel if you plan to come to varkala and ditch the crowded north cliff area.

    Soul hostel is one of the best places to stay in Varkala. The property is very beautiful, well maintained and close to beach. The dorms were quite spacious, neat and washrooms were clean. Staff were very polite and helpful. But the best part about the hostel was the vibe. Prefect place to just enjoy, chill by the sea and spend some quality laid-back vacation time.

    The hotel is near Odayam Beach. Right in between Kappil beach and Varkala Beach. Its away from the noise and music of the cliff, but close enough that you won't mind the trip. Its a very short walk to a beautiful cliff nearby. Need an auto (10 min ride) to goto Varkala Beach and cliff. You can get an auto guy's number from the host. He was very helpful.

    The location was perfect considering the beach was merely five minutes away. Its proximity to resort-restaurants made my stay during the pandemic stress-free. There's greenery all around, and I felt absolutely safe even though I was the sole individual staying at the property. I loved trekking daily from Odayam to Varkala North Cliff.
