Baba Luru's

If you’re in Varkala, Baba Luru’s is truly the place to be. A clean and comfortable environment, surrounded by greenery and close to North Cliff. Keegan, the guy who runs it, is absolutely amazing. And the dogs who live here are nothing but lovable. Only good vibes in this place. If I ever come back to Varkala, I’d have zero doubts about where to stay.

The place is very nice. Lots of places to chill, like on the rooftop and the hammocks. The owner was super friendly and the animals are cute too. Good place to meet people.

However, the matrass we slept on in our private room was so incredibly thin that it left me with severe backpain.

• Beautiful and well-maintained garden • Atmospheric rooftop terrace • Very helpful owner (Keegan) • Clean and comfortable room • Good value for money

You have some 20 Walking minutes to the beach. Not an issue for me personally, but something to keep in mind.

The vibe is very nice and the staff is wonderful. Everythint felt like home and doggos gives lovely charm for the place :)

All is good good good

Keegan was the perfect host. Super friendly and kind and went out of his way multiple times to help us. The property is awesome and surrounded by nature. We loved the dogs especially Peanut and spent alot of time chilling on the rooftop. Would highly recommend visiting Baba Luru's if you're staying in the area.

Nothing.

Superb! Everything is wonderful. The rooms the surroundings, the balcony views. The staff Keegan and Suzie. Keegan was tremendously helpful. Nothing too much trouble. Even booked our train tickets for us. Suzie made a wonderful fish lunch. The dogs are all lovely each with their own personality. Cannot recommend my stay enough. It was perfect.

Nothing. There is not one bad thing to say.

Quelle sérénité dans cet hostel ! Nous avions prévu d’y passer 4 nuits et nous en avons réservé deux de plus. La chambre et les sanitaires étaient parfaits. L’hostel dispose d’une salle commune avec hamac, instruments, jeux, etc. On s’y sent vraiment comme à la maison. En outre, Keegan l’hôte est vraiment super. Il est très aidant et a fait en sorte que notre séjour soit le plus confortable possible. Il nous a notamment conseillé un cours de yoga auquel nous avons participé à trois reprises. Keegan a 7 chiens qui sont très affectueux. Il a aussi des poules et des chèvres dans son jardin. Un petit havre de paix. C’était super ! Merci pour cette semaine de détente.

Very nice place. Lovely people. Comfy rooms and a beautiful rooftop terrace. Highly recommended!

Our stay at Baba Laru’s was simply fantastic! Keegan is by far the most welcoming and helpful host we’ve met during our trip to India. He took care of everything, always making sure we had the best recommendations for trips, restaurants, and anything else we needed. Even after we had moved on to a different location, he kept sending us event suggestions nearby—this truly shows how much he cares about his guests. Baba Laru’s is more than just a place to stay; it’s a home filled with warmth, connection, and an amazing sense of community. And that includes the seven wonderful dogs that are part of the family! Especially Salsa and Peanut, but also the others, made our stay even more special. We stayed as a family of five and immediately felt at home. It’s also a great place for solo travelers, as Keegan makes sure everyone feels included, often inviting guests to breakfast or dinner together. Thank you for the amazing time, Keegan! Best wishes from Mark, Janine, Ratcha, Dahlia, and Martina—and please say hi to all the dogs, especially from Dahlia to Salsa and Peanut
