The hostel stories has a perfect location and very homely vibe. I made many friends and we all used to cook and eat together everyday. The host is very friendly and i shared lots of stories with him and could talk for hours. The beach is extremely close to the property with just 2 mins walking distance. I could also work from hostel with high speed wifi through out the day. I would definitely recommend this hostel for long term stay, workation stay or just weekend getaway.

Yes Hostel in Varkala isn’t just a place to stay it’s a vibe, a community, and for me, a turning point. As a first time solo traveler, I was unsure about the whole hostel experience. But trusting my instincts and booking four nights here turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. From the moment I arrived, I felt a genuine sense of belonging that completely changed my perception of hostel life. Harish, the host, is incredibly welcoming and made me feel at ease right away. Shafeeq, the ever jovial chef, brought laughter and warmth to every moment. Vineesh, the creative soul behind the hostel’s quirky art, added a splash of personality to the space. And Steven, a fellow traveler from Hyderabad, became an unexpected companion whose presence made my stay even more memorable. They helped me plan my daily itinerary and even included me in their evening hangouts walking along the cliffside beach, sharing stories, and playing endless rounds of badminton. And then there’s Angel, their adorable indie dog, who added an extra layer of comfort and companionship to my stay. She’s the kind of furry friend who makes a place feel like home. This experience completely reshaped my perception of hostels. What started as a solo trip ended with me gaining a second family. I’d choose Yes Hostel again in a heartbeat no second thoughts, no regrets. If you're looking for a place that’s not just comfortable but also filled with warmth, laughter, and unforgettable company, this is it. Highly recommended for anyone seeking more than just a stay this is where memories are made. Right in the heart of Varkala❤️ -RK✌️😇

I stayed there for a week and it was lovely. The place is really clean, the rooms are nice and the common areas are great. They really care about their guests and it was a good place to stay, close to the cliff but not in the middle of the Varkala tourists chaos. Thank you all so much for everything!!!

About the hostel very shortly, well facilitated, comfortable, and neat. I do believe that people create a unique place, and this place confirms that. The host, Santos, is so generous, hospitable, and helpful. He can arrange everything, bicycle, food, trains, and I guess much more. He is communicative, polite and funny. .I wish every hotel had such a host. Thanks Chetta

Stunning location of you want access to a secluded little beach away from the hustle and bustle which gets pretty unbearable at the weekend. Lovely staff (thanks Pooja!) who helped me book my train. Rooms are basic but miraculously cool thanks to sea breeze. No mosquito problems. Nice outdoor area. Great place!

I had a truly wonderful stay at this brand-new hostel. The entire space is thoughtfully designed, especially for those interested in "workation" or yoga practice. The comfort level is top-notch; the bed was incredibly comfortable, and the washroom facilities were impeccably neat and clean. They’ve ensured maximum privacy and convenience with essentials like curtains, a reading light, and a charging socket available at every single bed. The location is a perfect balance. It’s set in a wonderfully peaceful location, just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the main cliff to ensure quiet contemplation, but still perfectly accessible. A grocery store, scooty rental, and a local cafe are all just 100 meters away. The small communal kitchen is a huge plus for cooking basic meals, and the free water refilling station shows they care about sustainability. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend this hostel to anyone seeking a tranquil base for remote work or a place to deepen their yoga practice. I definitely plan to return soon! A special thank you to the host, Pintu, for the warm hospitality.
