If you come to Kerela cottage, you’ll notices that you have find a gem between pebbles. This place is located right at the beach with a beautiful seaside view. After arriving you’ll instantly feel more relaxed due to its set-up, the natural surroundings and the personal welcoming you. Compared with the other cottage’s placed along the coastline, this one is really peaceful and quiet. No tourists passing by in this part of town. The place is well located and you’ll be at famous Varkala beach in about twenty minutes of a walk. The boutiques and shops are also nearby. If walking doesn’t suit you, the personal is happy to arrange a rig shaw for you. If you need anything at all, the personal will be there. Wether it is to arrange transport, activities, house cleaning or food. They will take care of it. They are very polite and they will make sure you’ll have the best experience while staying at the Kerela cottage. The cottages themselves are very well maintained, it’s very clean, the furniture is durable and the set up is very cozy. It has all facilities you need to make your stay comfortable. Breakfast in the morning, is also delightful start of they day. With seaside view, awesome food and top service. I would rate the place and it’s personal the highest grade. If you stayed over you understand why it has such a high rating.

Tiny Temple is a rare gem set back from a quiet section of 'the strip' close to Black Beach. Swati, the host, couldn't be sweeter. He was really helpful and made us feel completely at home. The location and view from the rooftop/deck is unbeatable and the price was totally reasonable (we were there just before 'high' season). New Wifi is being installed which will be the cherry on top! Another perk was the fine folks at Elina's Clifftop Restraunt (next door) who were really accommodating and even offered room/rooftop service. My daughter and I took a risk on a spot without reviews and in this case we're so glad we did. Can't recommend it highly enough.

    What I liked most was the view from my balcony looking out to the sea. A room without a view would not be so agreeable. The grounds were beautiful with lovely tropical flowers and plants. There is an agreeable open air area for meals and breakfast. The breakfast was cooked to order. One day I had English breakfast and one day banana pancakes. The employees are helpful and agreeable. The pool area is also nice.

    Very nice coast, it’s possible to walk for kilometres along the coast. It’s quite turistic but mainly locals so it doesn’t bother too much. It’s possible to get into the sea only in very few places but I wouldn’t recommend it. The town has lots of markets, bakeries and restaurants. There are several yoga studios along the coast.

    It is a beautiful place with plenty of beaches, greenery, small town shops, water sports and the most beautiful mangroves. There are also nice places like the Jatayu Park and the Shri Narayana Guru Samadhi and ancient temples that are a treat to visit.

    Beautiful views worth seeing.

    Beautiful views worth seeing. However most visitors are rowdy which affects the comfort of people seeking a more down to earth experience. Restaurants often out price locals and cater to Western tastes; they seek a specific type of well put together, middle or upper class traveller. Monsoon season is likely a more relaxing time to be here with less rowdy visitors from out of town/state. Little cleanup efforts for the beaches. Bad sanitation and waste control. Waste burning unfortunately normalised.

    The beach was awesome, the water temperature and calmness of the sea making it perfect for swimming. Varkala itself had plenty of options for eating at any budget level and the people were friendly, helpful and generally very honest in their dealings with tourists. The temple was especially interesting for us and was mostly open to non-hindus to walk around its grounds.

    Location, close to temple and only 5 minutes from the quite Papanasam beach, some nice local restaurants around. Still in a green surrounding. Busstop Varkala Mandir to and from railway station is also only 5 minutes walk, 10 roepies. It’s about 25 minutes uphill to noisy and overcrowded Varkala cliff. Not my cup of tea. So I was happy to stay in the more original looking surroundings and quietness of Rams Gratitude Inn.

    The stay was super comfortable, and the location is absolutely spot on—just a short walk from Varkala Cliff. The caretaker is cheerful and always ready to help, which made things even better. Special thanks to Shafeeq—he was incredibly helpful and guided me well while settling in. An awesome place to stay, whether you're traveling solo or with a group of friends. I strongly recommend it.
