Katsura Varkala

Very nice treatment

Owner was so lovely, so very kind and helpful, assisted me with the difficult task of booking an online sleep train ticket, Staff were lovely.

Near to Cliff

None

I would like to say about the Host rather than the stay, He was so kind and always reachable. And was so helpful and a good guide. And about the rooms, EXCELLENT, CLEAN & NEAT. A good and affordable stay near cliff. And all key places to visit in Varkala are near. Highly recommended ! 🌟

Accessiblity Affordable Reachable Host Friendly staffs

Excellent homestay in varkala. The rooms and facilities were great. Drinking water, a refrigerator, kettle and extra beds for additional guests were provided. The host was always availble over the phone 24/7 whenever needed. The property maintenance was excellent, and a maid was present on-site to keep the premises clean and well maintained. Overall excellent homestay and highly recommended.

The only drawback is that four wheelers cannot easily access the route to property, and larger vehicles like mini buses, caravans cannot reach the location directly, you need to park about 600 meters away.

Big room and neat

Room was clean, had good wifi connectivity and walkable to cliff

Bed wasnt that comfortable

All good 👍

Worst behaviour of caretaker & host

Nice comfy stay

I had a great stay here with my friend. The location was perfect, the price range was very reasonable, and the overall cleanliness was excellent. The rooms were quite spacious, and even the bathroom size was perfect, which made the stay very comfortable. They also provided useful facilities like a fridge and a stove, which was really convenient and made the stay feel more homely. We booked three rooms in total—two rooms were on the ground floor and one on the first floor—and the arrangement worked well for us. The only thing I felt was missing was Wi-Fi. I would definitely recommend adding that facility, as it would make the experience even better. Overall, I would highly recommend this inn for anyone looking for a comfortable, clean, and well-located place to stay at a good price.

No hair dryer was available

Close to the beach, clean and the AC.

Electricity went out in the morning, didn’t have a back up but everything else was good.

Tolles großes Zimmer. Nur ein kurzer Fußmarsch zum North Cliff. Gute digitale Kommunikation mit dem Inhaber. Alles war sehr sauber.

Good location, lovely staff, clean and very comfortable bed

Although I had limited time in Varkala, I enjoyed enough with this stay, however there is not direct sea view, but it is 5 minutes away from Cliff/beach/flea-market. We got our hand on ground floor which consist of 2 Bedroom + Living Room + Kitchen + Backyard + Child Cradle + Car Parking. The property care taker Akhil is helpful and will give you heads-up instruction on going to the shortcut walkway to the beach or other queries. All in all it was a decent stay.

Only 1 bath towel for 1 room

Very kindly staff and amazing laundry

the room and the washroom were huge, and the bed was so comfortable! the location of the property was at a 2 minutes walking distance from the north cliff. the host helped us with rental scootys, and everything we wanted to know about. the stay was really amazing!

Walking distance to north cliff. Big and comfy bed. Clean rooms. Host is quick to respond. We had a good stay.

Great location to the main strip of shops and restaurants at Varkala Beach. Clean spacious room and bathroom. Comfortable bed. Large water bottles to refill your own bottle and access to a simple kitchen if you want to do some basic cooking for yourself.

Not much character to the property and whilst you can contact the host who was helpful with anything I needed, there is no reception or permanent staff on site.

The hotel room was clean and spacious , location near beach 50m

Ac was there but ceiling fan was not present

Good stay really liked the location near beach clean spacious modern room

Ac room but no ceiling fan present

Room was good

Чисто ,хороший матрас и белье ,есть питьевая вода ,большая ванная комната ,есть горячая вода всегда .Близко к морю .

Номера темные ,окна выходят впритык к соседнему отелю . Кондиционеры в соседнем отеле расположены так ,что весь шум и тепло шли к нам в окна . Хозяина не было ,когда мы приехали ,хотя время приезда согласовывали заранее ,была одна женщина из штата ,которая не говорила на английском языке и не решала вопросы . Мы бронировали два номера с кухней ,нам предложили два номера без кухни ,даже не было электрочайника . Только через полчаса ,после того ,как мы уже хотели уезжать ,приехал хозяин и мы заселились в отель .

Value for money and location

We stayed at Katsura Varkala for two nights. The location is excellent in a quiet neighborhood and close to everything by foot. The house we stayed in was one of the cleanest and newest apartments we have stayed in all of Kerala.

Great stay ! Had a pleasant experience staying here,the rooms were spacious and comfy. The North cliff & Beach is about less than 5 mins from the stay and easily walkable. Mr.Nikil and other Staff are very friendly,he helped us in all ways like renting a scooter and guided us on places to visit. Another suggestion from Mr. Nikil the caretaker was an eatery called thirumala foods which is at a walkable distance in route to the north cliff, which serves home made sadya meals during lunch time, A must try if you want to taste authentic kerala home cooked meals.

Everything was just perfect,no complaints from a city dweller.

Location of room is near.by to the beach cliff

The room was given around 1400hrs after waiting in the lobby for about 1hr waiting

Lokalizacja, blisko klifu, ale jednocześnie cicho. Przestronny pokój, miła obsługa.

Clean rooms, great service, and a peaceful atmosphere. Staff was friendly and professional. Would definitely stay here again.

Nothing

Location and very helpful host Akhil, comfortable big bed,

No TV, Shared Kitchen and washing facilities on different floors. Mini fridge and kettle in room would have been helpful.

Proximity to the beach was excellent Host was very nice and helped with getting us a taxi. Room was spacious with comfortable bed, AC, large bathroom and hot water The property is pretty new and everything was clean.

The drive up to the property was very narrow and there wasn't a sign with the property name at a critical turn. The host was very nice but not usually on-site; if we had questions we had to text him and responses were sometimes delayed

The staff was really friendly and helpful and was responsive even at late hours and made sure everything was all right. The rooms were also very clean and well maintained, with a daily cleaning lady attending to everything..Theres a sofa and water dispenser in the common hall area along with a good working wifi. Theres also a small common balcony to chill.

The location is a bit cramped, but just a walking distance to the cliff, which was a goo thing.

host was helpful. clean and hygeineic room. new building

Everything was good

I recently stayed in this room and was thoroughly impressed. The room was clean, modern, and had all the amenities I needed. The bed was extremely comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this room to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient stay.

Only suggestion would be to add more amenities.

Wifi Parking Quiet

I had a wonderful stay at this homestay near Varkala Cliff. It's just a short walk to both the beach and the cliff, which made exploring very convenient. The room was spotless and well-maintained, offering a peaceful and quiet environment for a relaxing time. The staff and the owner were exceptionally friendly and helpful, making me feel right at home. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend this place to all types of visitors.

Very large room Clean Good location close to the cliffs and the beach Owner booked an auto to the station when we left

Great location

Plumbing issues

Good stay, the helper was polite. Close to the north cliff and helipad.

Tidiness and proximity to the cliff

The caretaker staff cud be little aware of the locality and could be informative, no complaints as such, he is good but doesn’t know anything beyond arranging auto

The staff at this resort were incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The rooms are immaculate and better comfortable and majorly location is to be very close to attractions.

Rooms

I had an exceptional experience at this stay that exceeded my expectations. The rooms were not only beautifully designed but also incredibly clean and well-maintained, providing a relaxing and comfortable environment throughout my stay. I appreciated the thoughtful touches that made the room feel like a home away from home.

Nice to stay

I had a fantastic stay! The rooms were spacious and impeccably clean, offering great comfort. The value for money was impressive, especially given the quality of the amenities. The staff provided excellent service, always attentive and friendly, which made my visit even more enjoyable. Overall, a great choice for anyone looking for a good stay right next to the cliff and Arabian sea.

Nothing Much

They are scammers!! Don’t book here 0/10 reviews Worth experiencing It was one the worst experiences in my life. The accommodation was over booked. They made us wait saying they were cleaning the rooms. So we waited later he asked for extra money. I argued at first but later said I would pay. We were still waiting for the check in and the room. Suddenly a foreigner showed up saying he also booked the same room. The room boy was rude, arrogant and mean. He told us he would as my booking and told us to leave the property and told us that the foreigners review matters the most. We had one of the worst experiences that night. We argued for hours for nothing our belongings and luggage where thrown out. I don’t recommend this place for anyone. There are better hotels near the cliff. These guys are scammers and filthy people.
