The wellcoming from Sajeev and Vijayan was fantastic. We had access to all of the amenities in the house and they provided us with great advice to really enjoy our stay in Varkala. Sharing breakfast with them was great time to talk and learn a bit more about the place and ways to reach our next destination. The level of service was outstanding and they really cared for us during our stay in Madhav Mansion. We would highly recommend it! Thank you so much again Vijayan and Sajeev for your great wellcoming!

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

Amazing Chef with a great buffet breakfast with many western and Indian options. Staff was as good as in a 5 star hotel. Very clean with a nice pool and a fridge in the room. Walking distance to the main beach, Cliff Road AND the beer and wine parlor to buy takeaway. Loved it so much we extended our stay twice.!

We extended our stay and got a different room, which was also super cozy. The warm atmosphere and the lovely people here made our stay really special. Breakfast was great, and the Kerala-style dinner absolutely blew us away – it felt like dining in a nice restaurant! We are very happy that we chose this place, and if we had more time, we would definitely stay longer.

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.
