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.

This hotel is located on a stunning beach, offering breathtaking views, especially from the second floor—truly magical! The manager was incredibly helpful, going above and beyond to accommodate every request we had. Breakfast was great, and we loved that we could request exactly what we wanted to eat. The level of service here is exceptional, making it a rare find. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a wonderful and relaxing stay!

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.

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Varkala. The hotel is new and impeccably clean, located in a prime spot on the North Cliff. The room was spacious, comfortable, and inviting, and the service was courteous and professional.

Really enjoyed my stay here - perfect location close to the cliff where there is the beach and many food and drink options. Super clean and affordable price for a private room. Anish was super helpful for any help I needed with onward travel and was always wanting to make sure my stay was as comfortable as possible :)

We enjoyed our stay a lot. It is a very good place to relax, do Yoga/Meditation or even Swimming and Kayaking. The food was amazing, the chef put so much love into every meal. Robinson and Athira were very forthcoming, helpful and friendly and made us feel like coming home straight away. Highly recommend a stay!

I've travelled in India (and Varkala) several times and this has been by far the best accommodation I've been to. We've stayed here for six nights. The room is very big and clean. It all seems to be pretty new. More than enough lights and sockets (fully functioning), closet, chairs, mirrors, big bed.. Everything comfy and feels like a small home. The bathroom as well, (seems to be very new!), good lights in the bathroom, mirror, ventilation, also a window and strong shower (what's often hard to find). Honestly, there's nothing we could complain about. The staff it's been super welcoming, nice and helpful. They organised for us the transport to Trivandrums airport, and also helped us with some transport tikets we needed to book. Not even 5 minutes walking to the beach, and it's same price or probably cheaper than many others around that have much smaller rooms and look pretty old! Still can't believe it. By the way, zero moskitos in the rooms! (don't know how, but not even one). Overall, a great experience. It's such a clean and neat place, a total gem! If we are back in Varkala, we'll definately stay here again :) Congratulations for such a great place and thank you so much!
