A good and affordable stay near cliff. And all key places to visit in Varkala are near.

Highly recommended ! 🌟

Highly Recommended
Pros:

Excellent homestay in varkala. The rooms and facilities were great. Drinking water, a refrigerator, kettle and extra beds for additional guests were provided. The host was always availble over the phone 24/7 whenever needed. The property maintenance was excellent, and a maid was present on-site to keep the premises clean and well maintained. Overall excellent homestay and highly recommended.

Cons:

The only drawback is that four wheelers cannot easily access the route to property, and larger vehicles like mini buses, caravans cannot reach the location directly, you need to park about 600 meters away.

Group review
Pros:

I had a great stay here with my friend. The location was perfect, the price range was very reasonable, and the overall cleanliness was excellent. The rooms were quite spacious, and even the bathroom size was perfect, which made the stay very comfortable.

They also provided useful facilities like a fridge and a stove, which was really convenient and made the stay feel more homely. We booked three rooms in total—two rooms were on the ground floor and one on the first floor—and the arrangement worked well for us.

The only thing I felt was missing was Wi-Fi. I would definitely recommend adding that facility, as it would make the experience even better.

Overall, I would highly recommend this inn for anyone looking for a comfortable, clean, and well-located place to stay at a good price.

Cons:

No hair dryer was available.

Feels like home
Pros:

Although I had limited time in Varkala, I enjoyed enough with this stay, however there is not direct sea view, but it is 5 minutes away from Cliff/beach/flea-market.
We got our hand on ground floor which consist of 2 Bedroom + Living Room + Kitchen + Backyard + Child Cradle + Car Parking.
The property care taker Akhil is helpful and will give you heads-up instruction on going to the shortcut walkway to the beach or other queries.
All in all it was a decent stay.

Cons:

Only 1 bath towel for 1 room
