I loved my stay in the Hostel Stories! It was a place where I could easily connect with other travellers and also with the people working there, it felt like a big family from the first second on. I really enjoyed spending time with All the people there 🥰 The manager even managed to give me a bed one day earlier cause I didn't feel comfortable where I was before, he was really helpful and compassionate! On top of that the beds are comfy and the facilities are modern. Thank you for everything. 🙏🏻🪷

Owner Sajeev and caretaker Vijayan looked after us really well during our stay. The location is fantastic - it's outside Varkala which is great if you are looking for somewhere away from the tourist crowds but bear the beach. There was a quiet beach nearby which we had almost to ourselves at times. Swimming in the sea as the sun went down was one of the highlights of our trip to India. The room was a good size with air con and a fan. Breakfast was served outside on the terrace. There is also a washing machine for guests which was really helpful for us as we are backpacking. We were lucky enough to have visited during a Hindu festival and saw plenty of free entertainment at the temple next door. Varkala is only a short tuktuk ride away and has all sorts of different restaurants and shops. Thanks for a memorable stay!

The place is beautiful, in front of the ocean in a palm oasis. The cottages are super comfy, and the services are great, supplying you with everything you need and satisfying your request. The staff is particularly great, I was never treated so good during my travels, and this is something that make your stay from being very great to being perfect. Nothing can be improved from this point of view, people there are absolutely great, taking care of literally everything, and really caring about you. I absolutely suggest to come here, and when I'll have the chance to come back to India, I will 100% come to Kerala cottages again.

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.
