Hospitality, room service, they arranged for a bike for us which was really sweet gesture. Location is just the best. Cliff is around 500 metres walk.
IndiaWe stayed here twice. It is just a few minute walk to the cliff and stairs to the beach, laid back and chill vibe, very basic rooms (stayed in double room both times), good value for the price, had some ants in first room but wasn’t a huge deal, WiFi did not work in the rooms, but worked great in common area, free water fill up, and the owners were kind and accommodating
United States of AmericaThe room is very big, and comes with a porch equipped with a hammock. The place is well maintained and clean. Friendly hosts, however the best part is their beautiful, sweet puppy. The location is a couple mins walk to the cliff side. Very happy with our stay.
NetherlandsThe owner Elson is a legend of Varkala! Stayed for 13nights and never had a problem with the noise. It was close enough to the beach and still far enough away to enjoy the bats, crows, eagles and hawks. A must stay
VietnamI especially loved the quiet, serene yet strategic location. It's within touching distance from the cliff which offers a great view of the sea. The host, Mr Alsin Asok is a very friendly guy who's always happy to help, be it with recommendations for sightseeing as well as arranging rides into town and to the railway station. In all, the beauty and friendly atmosphere of the place makes one want to stay forever! It was a fabulous experience despite it being off season.
IndiaThe location is very close to the cliff, very large area in front of the building, comfy sitting area, and separate balcony, the owners are very friendly, can pass some quality relaxing time at a budget place.really liked it.

Our hostel/guesthouse is based on positivity, sharing and helping each other out! We are simple and humble people and our place reflects this. You will chill here, away from the noise of the cliff but so near to everything at the same time. We wish to be as eco-friendly as possible too and provide drinking water to reduce plastic bottle use and compost and plastic bins to separate the garbage. We will be happy to give you all our tips for a smooth stay in Varkala!
We, Alsin and Julie, met thanks to travelling and want to share our love for meeting new people and discovering new places. Alsin was born and raised here around Varkala and knows the place like his own pocket! Julie is French and can give you many tips as how to adapt here. We can tell you more about our story over chai ;)
Numerous restaurants, yoga classes, massages, surfing, tibetan bowl, day trips... There are plenty of things to explore in the area and we're happy to help with anything! Just ask :)
