Kerala Cottages are AMAZING! The location, facilities, hospitality are all beautiful. it is true that it takes a bit of effort to reach the property, about an hours' tuk-tuk/taxi ride from TRV airport - but it's definitely worth the effort! It's in a quiet area, away from the hustle of the 'Cliff Walk', which is about 10 minutes away in a tuk-tuk. The cottages are spacious and SO comfy, clean and beautifully constructed, with a fine attention to comfortable details. The bathroom is huge, with very nice fixtures and great water pressure. The bed is super comfy, nice linens, and you have a nice seating area inside as well as on your private front porch, where you can watch the ocean and sunset! The grounds are well-kept and lush, and the ocean is literally a stones-throw away, with a cute smaller beach directly in front, that feels very private. The breakfast is to order, and really delicious. The restaurant serves regular meals that are also very nice! But the absolute best part is the staff and workers there. A young man named Nevin mans the front desk and tends to everyone staying there in the most personal and professional manner. He seems to always be available, and eager to help, or share information...always aware, but never intrusive in the least! For a truly relaxing and rejuvenating experience, Kerala Cottages is the BEST! I was SO sad to leave, and hope to visit again soon! A+++ experience!!

There’s truly nothing not to love about Sajjoys. The hospitality is some of the best I’ve ever experienced—warm, professional, attentive, and heartfelt. The location is absolutely perfect—just a 2-minute walk from the cliff, tucked away on a beautiful, peaceful street. The manager goes above and beyond to accommodate your every need. The beds are insanely comfortable, the entire hotel is spotless, and the atmosphere feels both luxurious and homey. It’s incredibly safe, with reliable security in place. I’ve never felt so well taken care of. WiFi and AC work perfectly, the showers are amazing, rooms are spacious, and the pool is clean and refreshing. On top of that, the food is delicious—breakfast, lunch, and dinner were all exceptional. Sajjoys is a gem—I’ll absolutely be back.

Calaila was such a wonderful surprise. The team here is incredibly welcoming. The location couldn’t be better it’s literally a one minute walk to the Cliff, and all the restaurants like Cafe Italiano and Gods own kitchen are a short walk from the stay. Beautiful rooms, calm atmosphere, and genuinely kind hosts. Would definitely return as the price was really good considering the location

I had an amazing stay at the Creditable Heritage Resort. The location is perfect—very calm and peaceful, and just a short distance from the beach. The atmosphere is incredibly relaxing, making it an ideal getaway. A special mention to the manager, Shayas, who was extremely helpful in planning our sightseeing activities. His hospitality made our stay even more comfortable. Highly recommended!

I was blessed that I ended up here. It is under new ownership and management. Not everything ready but everything has solution. I am female solo traveller. Felt completely comfortable and safe. Have a great single room with nice bathroom. Perfect for 1 person with simply divine view. When there was no yoga so they arranged for me 1-1 sessions on the dock. The food was delicious, authentic Keralan food. The staff were fantastic especially the manager Ravi. Very good at customer relations. The Ayurvedic massage was so superb I had another in my short 2 night trip. Next time I will take it to do much longer as the avyuredic treatments need a week. The therapist was so dedicated that in just2 treatments I felt a change. The location is sublime. So peaceful. So quiet. So pretty. Highly recommend. The yoga Shala was under short renovation but it looks to be a beautiful space to do yoga. A short 30 min auto tuk tuk to varkala beach and then back to serenity.

Due to the long weekend, north cliff and north-side beaches were hopelessly crowded. But the south cliff was really peaceful and soothing to walk around and the beaches were cleaner. Kayaking at the Mangroves is a must, some of the prettiest scenery in the area.

What I liked most was the view from my balcony looking out to the sea. A room without a view would not be so agreeable. The grounds were beautiful with lovely tropical flowers and plants. There is an agreeable open air area for meals and breakfast. The breakfast was cooked to order. One day I had English breakfast and one day banana pancakes. The employees are helpful and agreeable. The pool area is also nice.

Very nice coast, it’s possible to walk for kilometres along the coast. It’s quite turistic but mainly locals so it doesn’t bother too much. It’s possible to get into the sea only in very few places but I wouldn’t recommend it. The town has lots of markets, bakeries and restaurants. There are several yoga studios along the coast.

It is a beautiful place with plenty of beaches, greenery, small town shops, water sports and the most beautiful mangroves. There are also nice places like the Jatayu Park and the Shri Narayana Guru Samadhi and ancient temples that are a treat to visit.

Beautiful views worth seeing.

Beautiful views worth seeing. However most visitors are rowdy which affects the comfort of people seeking a more down to earth experience. Restaurants often out price locals and cater to Western tastes; they seek a specific type of well put together, middle or upper class traveller. Monsoon season is likely a more relaxing time to be here with less rowdy visitors from out of town/state. Little cleanup efforts for the beaches. Bad sanitation and waste control. Waste burning unfortunately normalised.

Lovely atmosphere where you feel immediately at home. Many nice activities to meet new people like dinners together, yoga classes, games. The managers are very welcoming and helpful. The female dorm has AC and it’s very clean. The location is perfect, 5 mins from the main beach and the north cliff where you have plenty of bars and restaurants. I loved my stay here and I can’t wait to come back. I totally recommend it to any backpacker passing by Varkala looking for meaningful connections.

Calaila Boutique Stay offers an ideal balance of comfort, convenience, and thoughtful hospitality. The staff goes out of their way to ensure a smooth experience, from attentive communication to local recommendations. The stay is exceptionally located — 1 minute from the North Cliff, directly behind major cafés such as Cafe Italiano and Darjeeling Cafe. Black Beach is also within a 10-minute walk. A refined, well-maintained property that truly stands out in Varkala.

This Homestay is a hidden gem in Varkala. My family and I had a great stay here. The property is very close to the North Cliff area. The rooms are moderately sized, very clean and comfortable. All amenities have been taken care of by the host and her team. Breakfast served was local and delicious. Loved the ambiance and the peace around. Highly recommend and would love to visit again!

I stayed there for a week and it was lovely. The place is really clean, the rooms are nice and the common areas are great. They really care about their guests and it was a good place to stay, close to the cliff but not in the middle of the Varkala tourists chaos. Thank you all so much for everything!!!
