    The Homestay is in a quiet area, near the Cliff. The room is clean and spacious. The staff is welcoming and kind. Roshan is a great host, always available to help you. Nearby is the other Homestay S4, where they provide food and have a beautiful relaxing area at the roof...with ping pong, yogamats etc, where you can freely use it

    Molly's hostel is located on the South Cliff which is much more quiet part of Varkala. Food options are amazingly tasty and very cheap (although it's good to order in advance because it takes some time to prepare)

    The staff is amazing. Friendly, talkative and really helpful. There is a great atmosphere. The dorm for 8 people was quite comfy. Very tasty and quite cheap meals in a hostel restaurant. Great location if you want to be near very calm beach. There are available some board games, hammock... in general, very chill atmosphere. Thanks!

    Super nice! Very cozy and comfortable guesthouse, well-located away from the busy cliff tourist area (but still within walking distance). Our room was spacious, and the bed quality was excellent. The guesthouse is quiet and located just 1 minute away from the beach in a charming garden. Food is available, and laundry service is provided. We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely come back if we return to Varkala!

    Lovely place in a great location on the north cliff in Varkala, around 5 minute to the beach. Extremely close to all the restaurants/shops along the cliff but set back slightly so it is nice and quiet. Nice room with good fan, hot water and Wi-Fi. Nice little outdoor area outside the room with table and chairs which was shared with another room. Free water refills. Able to pay by card. The host was very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend.

    This is a great traditional, rustic guest house. Peaceful and tranquil. Great size rooms and balcony. Great location, just 2 minutes walk to the beach. Beautiful little garden. Sonny the host has a lovely calm nature and is very helpful. I loved having my breakfast each morning on the spacious balcony in private. 1 dog and 2 ducks add to the charm.
