The staff hospitality is awesome! they really care about you. The staff can help you to book train tickets, find a tooktook, recommend places to go. We rented a bike here, it’s not expensive, so it’s more convenient to explore places. Breakfasts are wonderful, you can have how much you want and whatever you want. Hotel located in amazing exotic place, close to the ocean, beautiful and clean beaches nearby. It has own garden, so you can enjoy the view from territory of the hotel. Totally recommend Kerala cottage!

A fabulous place to stay, close to beach and restaurants. The owner was very helpful and let me use washing machine and also booked an airport taxi for me. Everything was clean and the room was a good size with really efficient air conditioning. Loved the location with several nice places where you can eat well at affordable prices. Also yoga drop ins close by.

My stay at Devi Kripa was everything I could have asked for. Superb location, a short walk to the main Vakala Beach, with a few shops etc on the doorstep. The room in fact was better than the photos make out. Very spacious, clean, and constantly working aircon and fans. The residency has all the facilities you could need: kitchen, washing machine, fridge and freezer etc. The owner and staff were also incredibly friendly and helpful. All in all a really lovely place to stay and would return with no doubt.

Dormitories are great, I recommand to book the AC one for more comfort. The place is clean, calm and there is a agreable atmosphere. Wi-Fi works well. I was supposed to stay 2 nights, I stayed 4. The owners are very welcoming and kind. It is a great place to connect with other Indian and foreigners travelers. Probably the best place to stay in Varkala.
