Santa Maria Hostel Kovalam

What a great host, he cooked for us, was available 24*7, super-friendly! Wall paintings, rooftop to hangout, great experience. Best part, location just 50 metres from the beach! 5stars to santa maria ❤️

this place is a lease. Meaning it is not the owner of the building that run the hostel. The booking management is not done in the hostel but in another town by the leaser guy, NOT PROFESSIONALY. SO OVERBOOKING HAPPEND. THEN EVEN GUEST WHO IS THERE FOR MANY DAYS IS ASKED TO LEAVE. ALSO THERE IS CONSTRUCTION WORK GOING ON TO INCREASE THE NR OF ROOMS.

Great space, really friendly, kind and caring staff members- good room and price- cheap and cheerful! Plug sockets by the bed too so really easy to charge phone :)

Breakfast could’ve been better but also I was happy with it!

Very good location, price and staff.

Lots of construction work happening and consequently to much dust in the hostel.

The free breakfast in the morning was very enjoyable, the location of the hostel was brilliant and there was a great restaurant nearby called the white house the food was cheap and amazing. The staff at the hostel were very attentive and professional.

The beds were a little hard, but the hostel was still great.

Washrooms can be more clean

Very clean and beautiful place. Stayed here for one week. Manager Nitish is very nice person. He helped me lot during my stay. Very close to beach and light house. Superb

Well situated, nice environment. Nice deco in the room.

No WiFi in the room, never (not as by description) Some water or power outages, maybe linked to ongoing construction work. The room was clean but not the common areas.
