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.
The chilled out vibe and the peaceful atmosphere is the best part. It's a place where you can unwind and enjoy with people/travellers at the same time. The place is very close to the cliff and black sand and odayam beach which are relatively less crowded and you can enjoy sunbathing.
The host was superb. All facilities like drinking water, kitchen access, wifi, toiletries were provided. The dorm bed was clean and the room was airy.
Overall it was a superb experience and I would highly recommend it to everyone.
Rooms were spacious, spotlessly clean and well air conditioned - bathrooms too. Bed very comfortable and shower brilliant. Nice touches in the room such as water, toiletries and amenities (fridge, safe etc). Pool was great and open slightly beyond sunset, and easy access to Varkala beach and North Cliff via the path (during the day). Breakfast has a lot of options, and the treatments we had in the spa were very relaxing. Staff are pleasant and very helpful and the same day laundry service was very efficient.
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.
- location was excellent, 2 minutes to the beach, shops and restaurants, but set a little back from the main drag along the clifftop. V quiet and peaceful.
- room was lovely and bathroom was very nice and bright.
- lovely decoration of the room
- A/C was wonderful and very much needed from the heat in Varkala
- Saji was very welcoming, laid back and friendly
- Saji cooked our breakfast to order, lovely omelettes and fresh fruit and coffee.
This place has a peaceful vibe and everything is just cool. The staff, volunteers and guests are amazing. Imagine people coming back to stay at this hostel and it's only been a year since they started. So, I highly recommend this place if you want a peaceful vibe and a beach nearby. It's not a party place like other hostels in Varkala, this is a place with a vibe to it. If you meet ingie and choto please say 'hi' and play with them.
Friendly and personable staff helped us with questions, advice and arranging transport. The location is a good choice in the Varkala area, as it is more relaxed and less touristic than north cliff. Odayam beach is also nicer for swimming. Breakfast was more western style but delicious, generous and fresh with lots of choices including fruit and fresh juices. Our room was simple and cool with a nice day need to lounge on the porch.
We 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.
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.
This is the best place to stay in Varkala. It is very close to the cliff, nevertheless very quiet and cosy and the rooms are spaciious and very clean with a very nice balkony. The people are very friendly, helping their guests with everything and making them feel at home. I liked this place so much that I came back here and I can highly recommend this place to everyone.
Totally a fantastic place to stay. Clean room.. Good ambience. Easy access to beach from cliff. The place is so calm & scenic ! The guys at property are damn cool. Definitely a recommend place to stay.
Great location & Chilled vibe. It's one of the hidden gems in Varkala.
The location is amazing. A slice of paradise a bit outside of the center of Varkala and resort-busy North Cliff.
The whole team was super friendly, helpful and welcoming!
Super layed back atmosphere with the bungalows having their own little front porch.
Beautiful view over South Cliff onto the beach and across the Arabian Sea from the private garden, delicious fresh juices and more from the Cafe next door and a peaceful location away from the hustle of the main Varkala beach (Papanasanam).
The homestay was neat and clean. The host Sudheer was very humble and helpful. The location was just 200-300 metres from the Varkala cliff. Best budget hotel, both comfort and location wise. Would highly recommend it.
best place in varkala and trivandrum. good vibes from the beach and other attractions. i played all the musical instruments in the common room. Thanks to the owner for the constant help and support.
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.
People are good and the food was great. And I was on a workation, talking about internet speed. It's great.
The location, easily accessible to beach and cliff area.
