Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

IndiaNothing major to dislike. The room size is decent and comfortable for two people, though a slightly bigger room would be even better. One small suggestion – having a TV in the room would be nice, especially for relaxing during rainy weather or at night when staying in.
Perfect location and homely vibes! Just a short walk from Varkala Cliff, Cliff Daires is the ideal stay for a peaceful getaway. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, making you feel right at home. The rooms are clean and well-maintained. It’s easily accessible from the railway station – either by auto (₹100) or bus. I also rented a new model scooter in great condition directly from the homestay for ₹600. Highly recommended for comfort, convenience, and warm hospitality!

Every time we needed anything, such as scooter booking or Kayaking and everything, he readily help us with them giving us good references and sometimes discount also😆. The location of the villa is great, just 5-10 min walk from here to the Varkala main beach and the Night Market. No issues with electricity, Water or anything. Wifi was good but sometimes a bit slow maybe?

IndiaThe room was non-AC, and for the given price of 1400rs, there was no TV, which felt like a slight downside. Additionally, there was no stand to hang wet towels, and the towels provided were polyester based, making them less absorbent. I’d recommend bringing your own bath towel for better comfort.Also there was no chair in the bedroom. Considering that most people visiting the cliff spend their day outside and primarily use the room for sleeping at night, I feel the pricing could be more competitive, ideally around 1000rs. Overall, it’s a good option for a short stay near Varkala Cliff Beach with a few areas for improvement.
We stayed here for one night and had a pleasant experience overall. The property is located conveniently, just about 1 km from Varkala Cliff Beach, making it an excellent choice for those exploring the area. The building is newly renovated and the room is spacious and tidy, perfect for two people, with a bathroom that was also clean and well-maintained.Basic amenities like water bottle, cupboard, wifi, water heater and bath towels are provided.The staff was very friendly and helpful, which added to the positive experience.
