This hotel is located on a stunning beach, offering breathtaking views, especially from the second floor—truly magical! The manager was incredibly helpful, going above and beyond to accommodate every request we had. Breakfast was great, and we loved that we could request exactly what we wanted to eat. The level of service here is exceptional, making it a rare find. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a wonderful and relaxing stay!

Tiny Temple is a rare gem set back from a quiet section of 'the strip' close to Black Beach. Swati, the host, couldn't be sweeter. He was really helpful and made us feel completely at home. The location and view from the rooftop/deck is unbeatable and the price was totally reasonable (we were there just before 'high' season). New Wifi is being installed which will be the cherry on top! Another perk was the fine folks at Elina's Clifftop Restraunt (next door) who were really accommodating and even offered room/rooftop service. My daughter and I took a risk on a spot without reviews and in this case we're so glad we did. Can't recommend it highly enough.

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Varkala. The hotel is new and impeccably clean, located in a prime spot on the North Cliff. The room was spacious, comfortable, and inviting, and the service was courteous and professional.

We enjoyed our stay a lot. It is a very good place to relax, do Yoga/Meditation or even Swimming and Kayaking. The food was amazing, the chef put so much love into every meal. Robinson and Athira were very forthcoming, helpful and friendly and made us feel like coming home straight away. Highly recommend a stay!

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.

The location of this hotel is absolutely amazing. It is in the middle of the nature facing a rice field. It is very quiet. At night and in the morning, you can hear the birds and frogs singing. The rooms are very big and clean. The Indian breakfast is very generous. A nice beach is just a few meters away from the hotel. You can easily walk to Varkala and Edava beach. The walk is very pleasant and beautiful. I highly recommend you to stay in this hotel if you're looking for a quiet place far from Varkala's bustle.

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, close to temple and only 5 minutes from the quite Papanasam beach, some nice local restaurants around. Still in a green surrounding. Busstop Varkala Mandir to and from railway station is also only 5 minutes walk, 10 roepies. It’s about 25 minutes uphill to noisy and overcrowded Varkala cliff. Not my cup of tea. So I was happy to stay in the more original looking surroundings and quietness of Rams Gratitude Inn.

The staff were helpful, always ready to assist with our plans. Food was good, and the property has many inviting corners to sit back and unwind. We loved the location-set in Odayam, about a 15-minute walk from North Cliff—close enough to Varkala, yet far more peaceful. The property itself beautifully blends Kerala’s traditional charm with modern comforts.

The location of the hotel is excellent. The location is within the posh area of Varkala North Cliff. One can enjoy all sorts of food during your stay. Though a cafe cum restro is inside the premises but there is limits in room services. The food is good but they used ajjina moto in their Chinese cuisines by claiming openly.
