FAQs about hotels in Varkala
What Guests Said About Varkala:
- 10Scored 10
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.DeniceUnited Kingdom - 8.0Scored 8.0

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 .jannelle54Australia - 8.0Scored 8.0
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.

AS OF ME, IT'S NOT SUITABLE FOR THE FAMILY TRAVELLERS, ITS UNSAFE TO ALLOW THE CHILDRENS TO PLAY IN THE SEA SOUR IT HAS DEEPER EVEN IN THE SEA SOUR, BEACH NEAR AREA HAS VERY NARROW ROADS & COJUSTED. I FELT THE CHERAI BEACH IS FAR BETTER THAN THE VARKALA.

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.S RameshIndia

- From $22.16 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very GoodRated very good· 156 reviewsit’s well located near to the cliff and all the other nearby places !! it’s in north cliff very near to beach and helipad (parking). moreover it’s a chill place to peace out !! Jehangir who was the property manager was the most hospitable person I have encountered. he was with us all through out our stay and has been making our needs meet. usually, as far my experience with hotel staff goes, staff do their job as a job , but this guy understand the value of a customer. come visit this place and u ll understand what I mean.
VigneshIndia - 9.3Scored 9.3WonderfulRated wonderful· 60 reviewsThe location of this hotel is absolutely amazing. It is in the middle of the nature facing a rice field. It is very quiet. At night and in the morning, you can hear the birds and frogs singing. The rooms are very big and clean. The Indian breakfast is very generous. A nice beach is just a few meters away from the hotel. You can easily walk to Varkala and Edava beach. The walk is very pleasant and beautiful. I highly recommend you to stay in this hotel if you're looking for a quiet place far from Varkala's bustle.LauraFrance
- 9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 174 reviewsQuiet 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.ReemaIndia
- From $26.33 per night8.3Scored 8.3Very GoodRated very good· 544 reviewsI stopped by the hostel before checking-in. The place looked amazing. A great location at the edge of North cliff. Amazing patio with seating, helpful staff. I was looking forward to stay but unfortunately I had an injury and had to go to a hospital instead. The injury required stitches and it took over a month to heal. The staff and the manager helped me to cancel my booking and get my money back. If I ever return to Varkala, I hope to stay with them!StepankaCzech Republic
- From $84.62 per night9.1Scored 9.1WonderfulRated wonderful· 306 reviewsWe stayed in a roomy cottage with seaview. We ended up extending our stay for over 2 weeks. We liked sitting on the porch to watch the sunset and using the pool in the afternoon when it's very hot. Friendly and accommodating staff. 15-20 minute walk to the North Cliff with many restaurants. We loved having our morning cappuccino and fruit bowls at Bindu's Café. They can arrange private pickup from Alleppey or Trivandrum.JoseeUnited States of America
