We stayed in the corner room, so we had this beautiful view of the sea from every window. The room itself is tastefully decorated and has AC and a fan. The host, Anup, was very helpful and a great conversman. Service was splendid, and breakfast was delicious.

Ashtamudi Villas

Kollam

Located within 4.3 km of Kollam Railway Station and 4.9 km of Thangassery Light House in Kollam, Ashtamudi Villas provides accommodation with seating area. There is an on-site restaurant, plus free private parking and free WiFi are available. The guest house features family rooms. This is a very travellers friendly hotel. It's right by the lake and has a lovely green garden full of palm trees and other greenery. Hammocks between the trees and also a canoe. All the rooms have a private terrace with table and chairs. Large and spotless clean room with an excellent bathroom. Friendly English speaking staff. Excellent WiFi, coffee and tea sold by the pot, and cold ones in the fridge. Can't get much better than that. They arrange tours to Monroe Island as well. The hotel is far from town, but you can get there with a local bus for just 10 RP, either from the main road just up from the bus station, or from the school junction where you can jump off your incoming bus if you are coming from the north. Best place to stay as the town centre has completely lost all its travellers atmosphere.

Mango Villa

Featuring a garden and free Wi-Fi access throughout, Mango Villa offers rooms in Varkala, a 5-minute walk from the beachfront.

With a balcony, each room has a private bathroom with a shower and free toiletries. Some rooms have air conditioning. I had an amazing stay at Mango Villa. As a solo female traveller I felt very safe, Damini and Anmol are very welcoming and friendly. The rooms are big and clean and have a beautiful balcony. It is perfectly located (2 min. walk to the cliff). I ended up staying here 3 times, I found it to be the best homestay in Varkala, I would definitely recommend it! :)

Breeze Hill resort

Viripara

At the guest house, some units have a private entrance, dining area, fireplace and kitchenware. Featuring a private bathroom with a bidet, units at the guest house also provide guests with free WiFi, while certain rooms here will provide you with a balcony. We stayed in the tree house and loved being a little part of the forest. The Breeze Hill resorts are located at a pristine location, away from the hustle of the city. There was a little difficulty we faced in reaching the place as it was hilly. Please travel with a driver who knows the area already. The tree house was very nice, and the staff was very very helpful, polite and friendly. Thanks to them, we had great food everyday, in the beautiful forest. Would really come back for this. :)

Featuring an open-air bath, garden and views of sea, SHORE STORIES is set in Alleppey, 5.9 km from Alleppey Lighthouse. This beachfront property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The guest house features family rooms and facilities for disabled guests. We absolutely LOVED our stay at Shore Stories! From the moment we arrived, we knew our stay was going to be very special. This was our 'relaxation phase' of our trip and Ajay went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of our stay was accommodated and exceeded! Food, drinks, transport, entertainment, restaurants... he catered to our every need and he's also an incredibly kind, caring and considerate man! The space is pure bliss - secluded beach with golden sand and clear warm waters, with an immaculate room, huge comfortable bed, outside terrace with sunset views every evening (either from the room itself or the upstairs terrace). We've since recommended his beautiful place to friends and we 100% recommend Shore Stories to other booking.com guests! Thank you Ajay!!
