I had a great experience at this homestay. For the price, it was well above expectations. The rooms were hygienic, the linens were clean, and the staff was courteous and helpful throughout the stay. One of the highlights was the terrace space, which is perfect for small group gatherings or casual get-togethers. Overall, a comfortable and affordable option that offers excellent value for money. Would definitely recommend!

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.

    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.

    Large beach with fabulous turquoise sea and big waves with some sun beds down one end if wanted . Lovely views and sunsets. Busy lively area ( we were there just after Xmas/ new year ) with many restaurants and shops along the cliff side. No beach hawkers on beach which made a change . Not really suitable for young children or people with mobility issues as big waves and steep steps to beach . We ate at costa del mer which had good European food if you feel like a change from the standard Indian food and was really excellent for breakfast as well as other meals . There are also cheaper good more traditional Indian restaurants just off the main drag . Roof top sky bar great for sundowners overlooking beach .

    The location of this hotel is absolutely amazing. It is in the middle of the nature facing a rice field. It is very quiet. At night and in the morning, you can hear the birds and frogs singing. The rooms are very big and clean. The Indian breakfast is very generous. A nice beach is just a few meters away from the hotel. You can easily walk to Varkala and Edava beach. The walk is very pleasant and beautiful. I highly recommend you to stay in this hotel if you're looking for a quiet place far from Varkala's bustle.

    Rooms were spacious, spotlessly clean and well air conditioned - bathrooms too. Bed very comfortable and shower brilliant. Nice touches in the room such as water, toiletries and amenities (fridge, safe etc). Pool was great and open slightly beyond sunset, and easy access to Varkala beach and North Cliff via the path (during the day). Breakfast has a lot of options, and the treatments we had in the spa were very relaxing. Staff are pleasant and very helpful and the same day laundry service was very efficient.

The rooms and beds were comfortable, with hot water facilities available. They also have a play area and a large dining space. This is the best and most budget-friendly place to stay in Varkala if you're going on a trip with friends.

    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!!!
