Shamak Homestay Varkala

We had a wonderful stay at Shamak Homestay. We booked our stay just fifteen minutes before arriving, and the room was already prepared and waiting for us when we showed up. The guesthouse is lovely—clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. We especially liked our room and the added bonus of a balcony. Our host, Anmol, was incredibly hospitable. He kindly sent us a list of restaurant recommendations and things to do in the area, arranged our transport to the airport, and even drove us to the ATM in Varkala Town when we ran out of cash during our visit. Breakfast is served 8:30-10:30am every morning and is always something different, which we appreciated. The location of the guesthouse is also excellent, just a 10-minute walk from North Cliff. We highly recommend staying here.

The room was a little uncomfortable at night with just the fan, but AC units were installed during our stay so this should no longer be an issue.

Our room was lovely, clean with a comfy bed. Hammock outside was great for relaxing. The location of the property was great, a short walk to the cliff and round the corner from a massage place. Anmol was a great host - very friendly and approachable and helped us with what we needed. The breakfast he made was very tasty. And the dog was a big plus.

WiFi was poor so this is the only thing that could be improved

The location, host and stay are perfect. The host is very helpful.

I felt little costly

The stay was amazing, the bestest I've been to so far. It was very clean, spacious, great ambience and art work by our host in each room. It was well maintained. Yummy food. It has many indoor games as well. Our stay was worth the money. Loved it, our experience with this stay was great.

No air condition ,no hot water facilities n no cupboards in the room

We recently had pleasant and peaceful stay location at Shamak homestay and it's also close to the beach. The host Anmol was extremely welcoming and friendly. The rooms were very well maintained and clean. Room with a private balcony are beautiful. He even recommended us with places to visit, arranged a bike and auto for the commute quickly. And breakfast was just too yum.
