FAQs about hotels in Varkala
What guests said about Varkala:
- 10Scored 10
I stayed in Varkala for 3 nights.
I stayed in Varkala for 3 nights. This was mainly due to train timings. 2 nights would’ve been enough. I did a yoga class and auryvedic massage on the last day this would have been better in the second day. What I did find slightly confusing was the references to North & South Cliff whereas I think South Cliff was an extension of the cliff walk - starting with North cliff. Plenty of choice for food although a particular favourite was Sun Francisco - the Veg Tali was delicious and good value for money.DeniceUnited Kingdom - 8.0Scored 8.0

Varkala beach is busy very busy on weekends with lots of Indian tourists. The cliff side walk has lots of restaurants and shops. We found the beach a bit rough with the waves but beyond the waves it was calm . The stairs to the beach can be challenging if you have knee issues . It’s has a good atmosphere but we prefer less touristy places hence staying at Odayam each area .jannelle54Australia - 8.0Scored 8.0
Touristic place.
Touristic place. So lots of restaurants with a large variety of meals, bars, shops, ressorts, loud music, massage. Best restaurant is Clafouti for me. Nice beaches, big temple. This is a tourist destination. India' s soul not there. Crowdy, noisy, pushy salesmen, beggers, stray dogs. Pretty dirty environment cause of littering. 2 to 3 days stay is enough.

Beautiful views from the cliffs, plenty of beaches, option to learn surfing (!), good food, and the most gorgeous mangrove/backwaters (30 mins away).... that's Varakala in nutshell. Lovely cliffside walks with breaks for some ice cream at Scoopy or a whole Israeli breakfast(yummmm) at Buddha Bar. We loved ABBA for all other hunger pangs. Having a rented scooter to go around the places away from the cliffs helps, but there were plenty of Autos as well.

Its took travel time is too far, Kerala roads are not good. Many people not follow traffic rules. Really upset to road travel to Kerala. Many sign boards are shown only in Malayalam Language, we struggled with read. Except that places are really good and peoples also very friendly.

- From € 19.49 per night8.0Scored 8.0Very goodRated very good· 444 reviewsFirst off, the staff were all awesome here: front of house and back. Everyone is so friendly & accommodating. Love the cafe area outside to chill, eat, read, party, whatever…lots of common areas here. There’s a huge backyard with room to roam/post up. The beds are standard but comfy. Facilities are cleaned daily so everything’s tip top. This place is only 5min walk to the beach. Lots of touristy shops/restaurants on the cliffs there, so you have shopping/food, but ask the staff where to eat. They know the good spots.
JohnUnited States - 9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 174 reviewsQuiet residential cosmopolitan locality on peaceful South Cliff, away from the bustle of North Cliff in Dec last week. Quick access to vast clean and desolate beach. Auto stand is opposite to the property. Lot of good eateries nearby. Our host recommended chimney restaurant and it didn't dissapoint. Our favourite place here was the terrace garden.All its greenery, excellent sea view and little secrets like the fish trough. The cups of tea in the morning and night sky photography still linger. Go get it.ReemaIndia

Rajesh SwaminathanIndia - From € 37.48 per night9.4Scored 9.4SuperbRated superb· 28 reviewsFriendly and personable staff helped us with questions, advice and arranging transport. The location is a good choice in the Varkala area, as it is more relaxed and less touristic than north cliff. Odayam beach is also nicer for swimming. Breakfast was more western style but delicious, generous and fresh with lots of choices including fruit and fresh juices. Our room was simple and cool with a nice day need to lounge on the porch.
EllaAustralia - 8.8Scored 8.8FabulousRated fabulous· 103 reviewsReally nice and well-kept hotel. Probably one of the cleanest hotels I’ve stayed in, in the whole of India. Rooms are spacious. Everyroom has a balcony with comfortable chairs. It is near the main Varkala Beach and strip of restaurants Rs but isn’t noisy. The hotel staff are welcoming and friendly. I was offered the chance to explore the local market but didn’t fancy it - but the option is there. The cafe onsite is good too.
NatalieIndia - From € 78.71 per night9.1Scored 9.1SuperbRated superb· 306 reviewsWe stayed in a roomy cottage with seaview. We ended up extending our stay for over 2 weeks. We liked sitting on the porch to watch the sunset and using the pool in the afternoon when it's very hot. Friendly and accommodating staff. 15-20 minute walk to the North Cliff with many restaurants. We loved having our morning cappuccino and fruit bowls at Bindu's Café. They can arrange private pickup from Alleppey or Trivandrum.JoseeUnited States
- From € 125.05 per night7.8Scored 7.8GoodRated good· 268 reviewsFood is very good especially veg. Children would love to eat Dal kichdi which is complementary too. Access to resort from Varkala sivagiri station was convenient. If people wanted to see the north cliff especially shopping and dining, we can take the road uphill by walk or auto. If u want to access the beach down, best route would be taking a walk close to Janardanaswamy temple. Kaveri elephant park is worth watching.RamasubramanianIndia

The a la carte breakfast was fantastic and the staff always friendly and available. Don’t underestimate the benefit of being a bit removed from the loud main passageway of Varkala’s north cliff - we slept with the sound of the ocean waves instead of tuktuks and parties…
