    Nothing.

    Awesome stay, super sweet host. Cozy room with everything we needed. Even has a shelf that was titled for water drainage for the shower items (hard to come by in India). Airy bathroom with openable window. Clean, thoughtful, very Indian stay with a great value. Even has the classic blue light bulbs for nighttime use in every room. Loved it.

    The mattress wasn't very comfortable in our room.

    We really enjoyed our stay here, very good location close to the cliff. The accommodation itself was lovely as were the gardens and the balcony was nice. The room was more than adequate nice bathroom with good shower and hot water.

    The room was very clean, and the host was friendly and helpful. The balcony was lovely, offering a nice space to relax. The location is quiet, yet it’s just a short 5-minute walk to the restaurants on the cliff, making it both peaceful and convenient.

    We liked the sunny and airy balcony of the room. It is close to the beach and the cliff.

    Maybe some breakfast facility within the house. There are cafes all around. We did not try delivery service though.

    The room was very clean and hot water was available throughout the day. The housekeeper, Mr. Johnson, was a reserved person but helpfu,l in guiding us around the place. He provided us with good coffee at a cost.

    Comfortable stay but sometimes a bit loud during the night

    It was sometimes quite loud due to other guests since the room door is not insulated. I had friends over during the day to hang out a bit on the balcony and suddenly the staff was giving me unfriendly looks. Only after they took pictures of my friends‘ passports it was okay. I guess earlier communication would have saved the awkward moments

    Comfortable bed, cool rooftop kitchen area, Nice balcony, friendly staff

    Their own minibus to and from the hotel to the airport was a lot cheaper than Uber.

    May be it is because of the peak season but only if the price was a a bit lesser, this would have been the best places near North Cliff.

    The accomodation was super clean, though not beach facing, the property was very near to the beach and just a few metres away from all the great restaurants at North Cliff. The staff were super friendly and this place has ample parking space. Definitely a very good place.

    Food restaurant on main road is away from hotel. At night, it is difficult to travel. There are limited options on main street. Hence, We suggest to go for food at Varkala cliff which is just 5 minutes walking behind this hotel. Do not go for searching food at main street. There are many food restaurants at varkala cliff and distance is walkable.

    Varkala beach is just 5 minutes walking from this hotel. All facilities are good in hotel. Hotel ambience are excellent. Staff are very co-operative. Two wheeler on rent is available at hotel location and at reasonable price Rs. 500 per day. Nice hotel and would recommend the same to others in future.

    As an insomniac , I am often awake at odd hours and a tea coffee /station would have suited me better - this is remediable and not a big issue. I did order tea coffee before bedtime and kept it warm in a flask. The warm water was not connected to the main shower - once again , it can be fixed or made possible

    The Room was a good size and the bed was comfortable. The location to the beach, restaurants, entertainment and other facilities was great. The staff and owner were very obliging to our further requirements. I will go back to stay there again

    None to pick as the room met the expectations, as advertised in booking.com.

    Nice location - just 100m to beach (following the short cut). New property, well maintained and the rooms are very nice (as shown in the pictures). Ample parking, unlike other resorts in Varkala. Owner Shibu and his uncle are very helpful, gave proper directions for our return trip, provided nice suggestions of things to do in beach, good restaurants around, finally didn't mind to take a call late night when we lost our way. Definitely suggest this property for single night stay or long staycation.
