    Nothing much to dislike

    Wavelokam is a cozy budget stay for couples with very well designed and neatly maintained rooms. Location is just 200m walk away from Yedava beach and feels secluded yet safe. Owner is chill, very friendly and a humble person who's eveready to greet and help you. A special mention to our host Saafir, who was so so helpful through out stay, not just at wavelokam but our entire trip in Varakala, a special shoutout to him.

    Its location to the restaurants and cafes is a little far. However they were helpful in arranging transport and hiring a scooter - although make sure to confirm the price and fuel expectation prior as it is an external company you’re hiring from.

    It was clean and comfortable and the breakfast served at 9am. The staff are lovely and they have two lovely dogs - Stu and Nero. The bed is comfortable and the AC and fan work well.

    This beautiful property offers a peaceful retreat, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of tourist crowds. Located just 200 meters from the serene Edava Beach, it's the perfect spot for those seeking tranquillity and natural beauty. The surroundings are calm and quiet, ideal for relaxation and unwinding. What made our stay even more special was the warm hospitality. The caretaker and property owners were genuinely kind, attentive, and always ready to help, making us feel right at home. A truly memorable experience in a hidden gem by the sea

    We gave them the estimated time of arrival and was given a warm welcome by the staff looking after the property, and a cool room so it wasn’t muggy or too stuffy! They asked if we’d eaten and provided us with a delivery website so that we could fill our tummies before snoozing for the evening! The bed and bathroom were clean, with comfy bedding and running hot water for a shower after travelling a good distance from Kottayam. The staff were helpful in providing kitchen utensils and allowing us to borrow an adapter, since we’d forgotten to buy ourselves a universal plug! As well as helping with public transport queries for our long trip. The guard was friendly, offering his umbrella when we arrived one of the evenings in the pouring rain. The beach was not too far from the homestay, with surrounding resorts that provided good food and decent Ayurvedic treatments. It was the perfect start to our adventure around Kerala! ✨

    The rooms are very pretty - best room and bathroom we had in India. The hosts and staff are really nice. They help you with everything you need. There is a good breakfast with fruit salad, juice, curry & omlette available. The location is also quite nice. From the homestay it just takes a two minute walk to Edava Beach (not crowded and clean). It is possible to rent Scooters if you want to go to Varkala - round about 10min ride (we rented one for the whole week and needed it everyday to go out for dinner and coffee or to go to Varkala).

    It's a small and new property. Rooms were of comfortable size, with neat and clean bed and bathroom. There was no view from the hotel, but a clean, crowdless beach is just a couple of minutes of walk away. I also booked a surfing lesson. Kartik (surfing trainer) was very patient in teaching and it was an amazing experience. The breakfast served was healthy, clean and tasty. Facility manager was really helpful and prompt is responses. It was an amazing experience staying here.

    The path to the beach from the property could be better.

    Hospitality at this place is awesome. They made sure we had a comfortable stay and even had the breakfast ready for us earlier than the regular time as we were checking out early. The beach is only a few minutes walk from the property.
