Baba Luru's

This place is amazing! Great dorms, great atmosphere, Kegan the owner is very kind and helpful.

Relaxed warm atmosphere

I liked everything! If you're not a dog lover this place probably isn't for you 🐕🐕🐕

Wonderful accommodation in varkala Great and comfortable private room Facilities great can use communal kitchen and store items in the fridge

Keegan and his animals were a delight and the other guests were lovely. We were also lucky to have Tam residing there at the time who gave free morning yoga sessions every couple of days. It was a little way out but we like walking, it takes about 15 minutes to walk to the cliff restaurants or a quick tuk-tuk ride.

The place is just magical with friendly people and lovely animals like dogs and goats❤️

Keegan is such a nice guy, I just arrived in India and he got me all sorted and helped me to get a sim, showed me around a little bit so that was really nice!

We really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back. The host Keegan and housekeeper Suzie are wonderful people. Keegan helped us with organizing a transfer to the airport, gave us recommendations for restaurants and nice places to visit in Varkala. Suzie keeps the place clean and the lunch she cooked was delicious. We enjoyed having animals around and especially spending some time with the dogs. Great to see how Keegan and Suzie take care of the dogs and the other animals. The location was also ideal too for us - less traffic noise because it’s not directly on the main road and close enough to restaurants, shops or the beaches (just a short ride with a TukTuk or walkable). Good Airconditioning and fans, nice communal spaces. Highly recommend Baba Luru‘s!

Maybe good to know if you have special needs: the mattresses were quite firm (totally fine for us)

Oh, Baba Luru! What a fantastic slice of heaven in Varkala! The farm, the doggos, the greenery, the music, the rooftop terrace, the soft whistling breeze, the pretty corridors - it was all so lovely! Keegan, who runs the place is a charming, helpful and extremely friendly chap. He calls it a guesthouse, and not your conventional hostel; which I began to see why during the course of my stay here. The place is an escape for those looking to stay and connect with nature, and enjoy a slow, simple life in a beach town. The rooms are comfortable, the kitchen is well equipped, and the guesthouse itself is located close to many restaurants and other essential shops, making your long stay (or short) a comfortable one. I was grateful to have met some really wonderful people here! Make sure to ask Keegan for his stories (hahaha they are both funny and creepy AF) and fun recommendations! Can't wait to come back here soon :)

This place is not for the faint hearted. Choose only if you are comfortable with stray dogs, and okay with rustic life.
