Great location, close to the beach but tucked away where it's quiet. They had an assortment of board games, books, and instruments to use during your stay. The hostel had a chill, social vibe. The staff was super kind and helpful. Vikrim even helped me buy a new phone after mine broke. I am incredibly grateful for him. The beds were comfortable too.

What a wonderful experience to stay in a beautiful room with a spacious terrace in a lush garden. Also in the bathroom you had the garden feeling. Tastefully decorated everywhere. For breakfast you had the choice of 5 options every time. Always super delicious! Also for the fresh coffee (freshly ground coffee beans!). Quality in everything. And then the friendliness that we were allowed to experience: warm contacts! This quiet place, surrounded by nature, is also very close to the beach. Yes, we enjoyed it all the way! When possible we will definitely come back!

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.

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.
