8.0

Lal est vraiement super ..A votre écoute ,attentionné et disponible . Confort de la chambre et propreté . Matelas du lit très moelleux .. Lal vous fait un petit déjeuner très sympas . À 15 minutes à pied de la plage de Varkala .

Si je devez dire quelque chose car rien est parfait forcément , chambre assez petite pour 4 personnes .. il manquerait une bouilloire et cafetière dans la chambre . Une tv éventuellement et une petite piscine

Lal was a wonderful kind and thoughtful man who took his hosting to the highest standards. Beds super comfy. He booked kayaking for us and helped with transport arrangements. Wonderful watching the wildlife on an evening and the amazing fruit bats fly it was a peaceful place. We enjoyed it very much.

Would be nice to have tea coffee facilities in the room but a minor observation.

The rooms are very clean and comfortable, the host is very nice

The location isn't so good, far from the main road and the cliff. Also we stayed in the forest room and there was no wifi connection there (too far from the router)

"Peaceful, friendly homestay"

10.0

We arranged to stay here at short notice after an AirBnb experience gone wrong - within half an hour of us booking on booking.com, Mr Lal had got back to us, arranged a tuktuk to pick us up and had arranged early check-in so we could relax after a bad nights sleep. Following our arrival all bad memories were erased as we were in such a relaxing, peaceful and calm environment with an exceptional host. We loved the rooms, with exceptional linen and a strong minimalist vibe. The homestay is in a great location, away from the busy bits of Varkala and in a peaceful lane where you can hear lots of birds at sunset. Mr Lal cooked us two delicious meals, a highlight of our trip, and was great company - we loved chatting to him about India and hearing his tales. We would love to come back and are very grateful for Mr Lal's help - thank you!
