Owner and staff were very friendly, always offering help. I would totally recommend it for solo travelers, especially female. Very beautiful accommodation.

hot water was not always working in my opinion greedy additional price for AC (800 INR per day)

the staff was very helpful and cared about everything. you can reach them at every time the breakfast was big and good maybe the cleanest accomodation I stayed during the india trip

Nothing much

Nice comfortable room with a balcony, tea making facilities and even hot water in the bathroom. The staff were very helpful

Perfect location probably less than a 5 minute walk the beach. Anoop was extremely welcoming from the moment we arrived and helpful until the moment we left. Hot water worked great so perfect to wash off after a swim in the sea.

We stayed 2 nights and felt very much at home! The staff (Anoop) was very friendly, attentive and always there. The place itself is located very near the cliff and Varkala beach. It is a quiet area and provided space for our two motorcycles. Our room was fantastic, size was good, very clean! They provided us with their own water (filtered and cleaned). We think this is very ecological. The interior of Gypsy Walker is very nice with beautiful wall paintings. We would definitely come back and can warmly recommend the Gypsy Walker.

Staff was very friendly and the wall paintings were beautiful. Exceptional location, just 2 minutes walk to the cliff.

Roof terrace was nice, but could use some more relaxing furniture.

Comfy room, many amenities, nice hot shower, free drinking water available, good location, mostly quiet, very friendly staff.

The hotel is close to beach and cliff. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Really outstanding customer service. The property manager went above and beyond to help with plans and arranging taxis etc. Breakfast was delicious and rooms were spotless. Highly recommended

Very comfortable and spotless room. Despite not having AC I found I didn't even need it, such was the effectiveness of the fan. Nice balcony for drying clothes. Short walk to the cliffside for restaurants etc Aneesh was incredibly helpful and friendly. I enjoyed our chats. Suresh was very good at communicating via WhatsApp

Nothing

From the moment we arrived, and were greeted by Suresh, we felt relaxed and at home. We had an upstairs room, clean and tidy, with a pleasant balcony. Artistic decor. Property is a couple of mins walk to the cliff top, but is quiet & peaceful.

Everything was great.

Really nice homestay. Very clean and modern. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Had access to a fridge/freezer and nice communal terrace which was a bonus. Excellent location as less than five minutes walk to the restaurants and beach. Would definitely stay here again.

Really enjoyed my stay here - perfect location close to the cliff where there is the beach and many food and drink options. Super clean and affordable price for a private room. Anish was super helpful for any help I needed with onward travel and was always wanting to make sure my stay was as comfortable as possible :)

Lovely clean guesthouse with all the comfort I needed for my stay in Varkala. The staff were very friendly, going out of their way to help me get the most out of my experience and with my onward travel arrangements.

The manager was super friendly and helpful. A friend accidentally left her laundry at her hostel (so a different hotel) and the manager organized a tuk tuk to pick up the laundry and drive it two hours to an ashram we had moved on too.

It wasn’t quite as peaceful as we were looking for due to the way they build the houses so close - and the number of dogs. But if that’s the only thing we could find to criticise you can tell we were comfortable here.

Set back but within an easy walk of the beach. Room were comfortable and neat, loved the balcony.

Friendly owner nice stay..

Stayed in September 2024

My stay was perfect, I liked all about the hotel - cleanliness, design, comfort, friendly attitude of owners. Nothing to complain about.

Stayed in March 2024

Other home stays we stayed at all had like a list of suggested activities and good restaurants etc which this one didn’t. The place also seemed quite quiet.

Definitely the comfiest home stay we visited in Kerala - really nice comfy bed and good aircon. It was also clean the bathroom was in good order. A bonus was that there was a kettle and tea in the room. The location is very close to the main strip of the cliff.

Stayed in February 2024

The room was very nicely decorated, had a water kettle, tea and coffee in the room. The house also has a nice, covered rooftop terra e. The best was the spacious balcony with carved wooden reling. A dream to sit there at night, free of mosquitoes. The location was quiet, yet minutes from the beach and the bustling shops and restaurants.

Stayed in January 2024

Great location, 2 min walk to the cliff and shops, but set back enough that it was very quiet. The staff were very welcoming, friendly and keen to help with anything I needed. I would definitely recommend.

None

Excellent location, quiet yet 2 minutes walk to the cliff cafés, shops and restaurants. Very clean rooms with large comfy bed and spotless linen. The outside balcony to the room is a nice place to relax. The staff are friendly and the manager Suresh can make any arrangement you might need.
