I absolutely loved my stay here, the location is perfect which is just 3 minutes walk from the helipad, The host was incredibly friendly and liked the community kitchen. The dorms and washroom are neat and clean, a wonderful and vibrant common area with a lot of board games to play.

Our stay at Kerala Cottage was an absolute delight! This is closest that I have gotten to stay near a beach with the sea being just a few steps away. You can hear the sound of the waves inside the room. Far from the hustle bustle of town, this place is serene. Great destination for a dopamine detox. Great hospitality from the owner and staff - always ready to help and make our stay comfortable - with a smile! You won't regret the stay. Note: Seasonal beach. Best time being November - March

What a lovely homestay! We had a great time at Villa Akassa! The rooms were exactly like they looked on the pictures, super comfortable. The place is so well located with a great cafe right across which has steps leading you down to the beach! The breakfast was great, despite what some reviews said it was more than enough food! They gave a freshly cut bowl of fruits with our choice of breakfast!

A fabulous place to stay, close to beach and restaurants. The owner was very helpful and let me use washing machine and also booked an airport taxi for me. Everything was clean and the room was a good size with really efficient air conditioning. Loved the location with several nice places where you can eat well at affordable prices. Also yoga drop ins close by.

My stay at Devi Kripa was everything I could have asked for. Superb location, a short walk to the main Vakala Beach, with a few shops etc on the doorstep. The room in fact was better than the photos make out. Very spacious, clean, and constantly working aircon and fans. The residency has all the facilities you could need: kitchen, washing machine, fridge and freezer etc. The owner and staff were also incredibly friendly and helpful. All in all a really lovely place to stay and would return with no doubt.

Dormitories are great, I recommand to book the AC one for more comfort. The place is clean, calm and there is a agreable atmosphere. Wi-Fi works well. I was supposed to stay 2 nights, I stayed 4. The owners are very welcoming and kind. It is a great place to connect with other Indian and foreigners travelers. Probably the best place to stay in Varkala.
