    We were given a lower grade room than the one booked without any prior notice or difference in fare. Just told that they can discount on next visit which is less likely.

    Being a hostel they had good common space with games and special events

    The vibe. Hands down. The Lost Hostel is a true representation of how a backpacker hostel should be/is, and that's what I was looking for. Had been to the one in Munnar - loved it - knew I'd love the one in Varkala, and - lo and behold - loved it!

    Perfectly located, very warm hosts, and great common areas- with best of games, books and other things for entertainment. The Lost Hostel is(hands down) THE hostel you should choose if you're planning to backpack in and around Varkala and are looking forward to meet fellow travellers. Special mention to Pinto, the host, who was awesome, entertaining and helpful at the same time. The guy has good managing skills and takes extra effort to make the hosteliers comfortable.

    We actually booked a room with a private restroom but we were not given the requested room. Hope in future the property doesn't make this same mistake again.

    What a place! We loved staying in Varkala! The place was filled with amazing vibes! The beach view was magnificent! Best place to hang out with friends.... I will definitely visit again... :)

    Had requested for early check-in around 12.00-1.00pm and the host accepted for it. But when we reached there around 12.30pm, the staff had no idea on my request and told us only by 2.00pm we can check-in and did the same. Rooms could have been little more neat, bath room to be definitely renovated (the western toilet, flush). Though its an hostel, Water Can could have been provided to each floor. Else each time have to claim down from 2nd floor to ground floor to bring water and finally the water taste from the RO filter was worst, it has to be checked by the management.

    Location, ambience, ease of access to the beach, friendly staffs, affordable, and the vibe in & around the hostel.

    Raman, the manager at the property, is such a genuine and kind chap, he was authentic from the time I met him and until the time I left the hostel. He embodies the hostel spirit in his work, he is an approachable person, so very kind :D. The cook, Pinto, was also a total treat. Together they made my stay there so memorable and jovial. I love them both to the moon adn back. Limitlessly grateful to you two. Thank you for always being there and helping out in every way.

    Lockers had this tiny hole that allowed only small locks which I had to search around to buy. The shower head is old and makes for an awkward water stream (mostly going towards the wall) The room was small.

    Clean and comfy, location is super good. Common area is great for socializing. Air conditioner is a life saver.

    One washroom for two six bed dorms (12 people).

    Everything else. Raman manages the property very well and ensures your stay is hassle free. He also ensures that as a solo traveller you don't feel left out. Pintu cooks amazing food. If you are looking for great home cooked north Indian meals, you won't get it better than from Pintu's kitchen. Best part is you get to see an amazing sunset over the sea every evening right from the hostel. Had booked only for 5 nights but ended up staying for 2 weeks.
