"Perfectly Located Varkala Homestay with Relaxing Vibes and Morning Yoga Bliss!" 
I recently stayed at this amazing homestay right on the main street of Varkala, as soon as you step out, you're right at the vibrant and lively North Cliff, with all the bustling energy of this beautiful coastal town. The location is perfect, easily reachable by car, though do check ahead to see if parking is available, as they can only accommodate a few cars.
 The property is conveniently located next to a popular In Da cafe, making it easy to grab a coffee or enjoy a delicious meal whenever you like. One of the highlights for me was the morning yoga sessions. These classes are the perfect way to start your day, and if you're looking for something more personalized, you can even request a private session. The rooms are spacious, immaculately clean, and come with a lovely balcony where you can relax.The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, with a chilled-out crowd that makes the place feel both welcoming and safe.
 I also appreciated the thoughtful amenities, like the common area with a kettle, sugar, and green tea, which guests have full access to throughout their stay. Overall, this homestay is offering a perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and a touch of the local vibe. Highly recommended!

Great location! And super friendly, and helpful staff! We loved our little room, which was basic but comfortable (and great air con!!). The owner gave us some great tips (including Cafe Sarwaa!) - I recommend using the Whatsapp brochure guide they’ve developed! Communication was always quick and helpful! Thank you for a great stay!

It was a bit tricky to find the property (especially since we were self-driving) but when we did it was easy to park the car and get everywhere on foot or tuk tuk. It was a shame that we couldn’t do yoga because it was the low season so wasn’t running.

Breakfast at the Sun Francisco was excellent. Varied, and served with a smile and a chat. The view as you tucked into breakfast was incredible. The yoga facility on the rooftop was amazing. As was the location. The room itself was a great size, lots of space, the balcony area was fabulous for an evening read. We found the vehicles coming into and out of the property quite distracting and invasive. It disturbed the peace and vibe of the area. Maybe people could carry bags into the property from the gate area in future. Other than that, we very much enjoyed our stay here. The reception staff were efficient and helpful.

The location just back from the main clifftop path was convenient and quiet, with a lovely feeling of semi-seclusion. The garden lounge area was a lovely touch, and the free water refills saved us a fair bit! The staff were incredibly helpful and kind (booking rickshaws, a taxi and a massage for us), as well as providing good suggestions for activities and eateries.

Having to repeatedly ask for extra loo roll (the rolls are seriously thin) 😋 At times the water was switched off - a bit awkward when you're trying to shower before a massage. No big deal - used a bottle of drinking water for a quick wash instead, but not ideal. Whilst complimentary shower gel & shampoo was provided, handsoap wasn't, which would've been useful (we ended up using a shower gel as soap). But these are really so minor - our stay was fantastic and we wouldn't go anywhere else if we visited Varkala again.

Perfect location right on the cliff front, but far enough back to be peaceful and tucked away. I loved the feel of the place, with the friendly reception and chill area with water, books and snacks. The Sun Francisco cafe happens to be one of my favourites and I love the menu and the vibe of the place. My room exceeded my expectations, really lovely and the bed comfy, also a beautiful balcony with a table and hanging swing chair. No AC but the fan was enough, and the room was kept cool with shades/curtains.

The included breakfast was nice, but I was longing for one of the amazing smoothie bowls at the cafe but it wasn't included. I had granola, fruit, honey and curd which was really delicious too.

Samuel was more than accommodating. He waited up for our very late arrival and made sure we felt welcome. The rooms were very clean and comfy and cool. The breakfast at the restaurant next door was some of the nicest food we had in India so far. The rooftop yoga was also great (and challenging for us) Samuel helped with any question we had and helped to book taxis and accommodate our departure time. I also think it was the best location in town.

Mad about coco was such a lovely place; the rooms are spacious, clean and have nice furniture with a great balcony. The balcony included a hanging chair which was the perfect place to sit and relax. They have a communal sofa area with complimentary tea. The owner of the hotel is such a lovely woman, so helpful and open. We needed to get to Kochi airport so her amazing driver took us in her super comfy, luxurious car. The hotel is a 2 minute walk from the beach and all the restaurants on the cliff front. Really great stay, I’d highly recommend this place.

Perfect location on the cliff and just in a peaceful and quiet garden. Nice spacious clean room and bathroom. Great to chill on the balcony! Lovely delicious food at the restaurant Sun Francisco and very friendly staff - Samuel and Anthony. They also arranged for our pick up and drop off at the airport. Thank you for a great stay!

Nothing to report. Looking forward to go back to Varkala

The best part of the stay is its location. Its in the middle of the cliff so one can go and explore the restaurants/cafes on the entire cliff. The complimentary breakfast was also good which had a set menu. During my stay of 4 days, I tried different dishes from the menu. Room size and facilities were as per description. They also provide yoga services in the morning/evening which was also a highlight for me. The receptionists are courteous and helpful. They had arranged for autos to travel locally.

There can be a water filter on the first floor. Every time, one has to go downstairs to fill up the bottles. The wifi was not working properly all the time.

The location was great for us, so close to everything but still felt secluded. The people that run it are lovely and really responsive. The cafe connected and breakfast was amazing . We had a room with a balcony and loved the shaded areas to relax in. Loved doing yoga in the rooftop.

There wasn’t anything I didn’t like.
