The stay was very good, it was big enough for 2 people with all the facilities, the location is just 20m away from the cliff view, the varkala beach is just 5mins away. 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. The view for the sea from the avanthi restaurant is just beautiful.

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.

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.
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.
I stayed here for 2 days. The room on the ground floor is only AC the rest are non AC.A total of 3 rooms. One on the ground floor and the other on the second floor.Very near to varkala south cliff beach 10 min walk.restaurants are also nearby.The owner is very helpful and decent person.car parking is available.Quite locality.second floor room have a kitchen and dining table as well.
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.
The small cottages were very comfortable and set in beautiful gardens, so very peaceful atmosphere. It was only a short walk down a lane to arrive at the North Cliff Varkala where the cafes etc were located. The manager & his assistant were such pleasant people, who made sure that we had everything we wanted, they were so helpful.
This villa is really beautiful. Room and the place was very clean. Hosts were very welcoming and we were offered welcome drinks as well as a continental breakfast. It’s located in a peaceful neighbourhood but still an easy access to the cliff and beach with 15 mins walk
This was our third visit to the Gateway Varkala. It’s a lovely hotel, clean,comfortable and friendly, approachable staff- excellent breakfast. Varkala beach/cliff is stunning and just round the corner. We’ll be back again!
Lovely bungalow in quiet resort. Very clean and nicely presented. Short stroll to quiet beach. If you want more options for eating/drinking then Varkala Cliff is a 30 min walk or short tuk tuk ride away. Very easy.
The property is situated near the north cliff of the Varkala beach, so it is a really good option to stay.
The owner is really helpful and the property is new and super nice so will definitely suggest to stay here.
The property is nicely done up. All facilities needed for a short or long stay available. The bed was really comfortable.
Location is ok - a 12-15 minute walk to the Varkala North cliff.
