If you’re looking for the best hostel in Varkala, look no further. This place is the ultimate “home away from home” - Karthik and Vikash are the “Masters of Hospitality” and do an incredible job of showing their guests around the very best of Varkala ❤️ Fish Fry lunches, Juicy Bar Chai Guys and Sunsets at Odayam beach to name a few of the highlights from the visit. The Barefoot is a place you will never want to leave - thanks for the memories, Chettas!! 😘😘

This place is the best hostel that I have been to in India. It has the price point of a hostel with the comfort of a hotel. They give you everything. There are two! towels, shampoo and body wash in the shower, a toothbrush and water. The rooms are big and very comfortable. They have AC, curtains and lockers. If you want to eat there is a lovely cafe with great oatmeal right downstairs. Also, there is a nice small common with sofas on the veranda. The main point that excited me was the cleanliness though. Amazing stay!

Very cozy room. Nicely painted, clean and surprisingly well furnished with a desk, chairs and hooks to hang everything. Everything is supplied here. Soap, shampoo, toilet paper, towel, top sheet and even an electric kettle and some tea. Nice private terrace with table and chairs outside the room. Even a fan on the terrace, and it kept the mosquitoes away in the evening. Excellent Wifi too. The location is not the best though. It's just a 5 min walk to the beach, but nothing is happening on this side of the beach. Actually that was a good thing for me, to not LIVE among all the expensive temptations on the cliff.

All hostels in Varkala

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The best hostel I’ve stayed at throughout my whole trip of India. Had originally booked two nights, and ended up staying a week- if I had the time I would’ve stayed for a month! Great location, super helpful and friendly owners, and a really comfortable feeling The around the place. Highly recommend. Plus the hostel has recently adopted a couple of adorable puppies!

    The staff is amazing. Friendly, talkative and really helpful. There is a great atmosphere. The dorm for 8 people was quite comfy. Very tasty and quite cheap meals in a hostel restaurant. Great location if you want to be near very calm beach. There are available some board games, hammock... in general, very chill atmosphere. Thanks!

    This was my first solo travel. The moment I reached the hostel, I could feel the warmth. Nikhil, Vikas, Kartik are really helpful, fun and warm people. The rooms are decent and the place has a raw touch. The food made by Kumar bhaiya was yumm too! The vibe of this place is immaculate. Great location, safe for solo girl travellers. Not to mention, lots of cuddles from the cute pups, cooper & mini.
