Guest Reviews
- Piotr (10/5): -
- Max (10/5): - The staff were so helpful and welcoming. The room was very comfortable and included tea and coffee. I would stay again.
- Alesha (10/5): - ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Ashoklama who runs it was so lovely and he was really helpful. It’s only a 5 minute walk from the main cliff market walk. Clean rooms and a nice bathroom. They also offer laundry services if you need. I really recommend!!!!
- Orfeas (4/5): - It was very, very noisy, we couldn't sleep
- EllisVeen (8/5): - A lovely place to stay in Varkala with clean rooms and good facilities. It is not too far from black beach and close the the cliff with a great choice of restaurants. The beds were a bit hard, but everything else was good
- worldcitizen61 (7/5): Good budget option if you don't need AC and don't mind a short walk to the cliff - Very budget friendly guesthouse which is not too far away from the Cliff. Very helpful and friendly staff, clean room with a big comfortable bed. My upstairs room was quite hot day and night, the ceiling fan is not the most effective one.
My room was facing the busy road on one side and the nearby party hostel at the other side.
Not really quiet at night but I did have a good sleep anyway.
- Elvira (9/5): Fühlte mich sehr gut aufgehoben als Alleinreisende - Das überaus freundliche und hilfsbereite Personal, insbesondere der Manager.
Familiär, man möchte dass es den Gästen gut geht.
Das Preis-/ Leistungsverhältnis passt.
Gere wieder! Dass ich mir extra die Klimaanlagen dazu nehmen musste. Der Ventilator alleine ist zu wenig. In Varkala ist es sehr schwül.
- Nadia (8/5): Really clean and friendly place with lovely staff. Wish I was back there - It’s clean, good location and most of all the staff are amazing. Thank you so much Assoklama - you are just AMAZING. So lovely, attentive, helpful with a big heat and big smile. I miss being there already!! Thank you for a great stay. The only thing is the road is quite noisy at times but that can’t be helped by the team
- Naseeim (10/5): A peaceful stay with lovely people that made me feel at home. - I stayed here for 9 nights during my solo trip to Varkala and couldn’t have made a better choice. From the start, the staff were welcoming, attentive and genuinely kind, always asking if I needed anything. My room was very clean, with drinking water provided daily. Even the basic fan room was perfectly comfortable. I felt safe, relaxed and at home, and I will absolutely stay here again when I return. Special thanks to Ashok and the entire team!

- Aaliya (7/5): -
- Irene (10/5): - Estuvimos 6 noches muy a gusto, los hombres que lo llevan son super amables te dan agua fría y te, te ayudan con lo que necesites. A menos de 10 min a pie del Cliff con balcón con ventilador y una azotea para hacer yoga o simplemente relajarse.

- Marco (8/5): - Ashok è una persona straordinaria, mi sono sentito come a casa. Posizione eccellente. Camera pulita e fresca. La ventola fa il suo dovere.
- Yama (8/5): Good budget stay with friendly staff, good value for less money. - Very friendly easy low budget stay nearby Black beach. No hot water for shower but bucket with hot water provided for free/
- Laura (10/5): - Gemütliches Homestay im Zentrum Varkalas. Sehr freundliche Hosts, die bei allen Fragen geholfen haben, gemütliche Betten und sogar einen Außenbereich mit Hängematte. Trotz der zentralen Lage sehr ruhig.
- Jo (10/5): Comfortable and clean accommodation in a great location close to beaches, restaurants and cafes. - Sherin Cottage was in a great location close to Varkala and Black Sand beaches, as well as all the shops, cafes and restaurants. It was clean and comfortable, and the host was very helpful and accommodating. Nothing
- Bianca (8/5): Good - We stayed here for one night. It was small but clean and the beds were comfortable. The ceiling fan worked very well. Good value budget accommodation. The host let us use the fridge and gave us fresh papaya from his tree before we left which was delicious. We paid more for a better room but when we arrived all the rooms appeared to be identical so not sure what we paid more for as the room and bathroom were tiny.
- Tom (10/5): - Very friendly staff and super clean hotel.
Only a short walk from the cliff Bed was a bit hard
- Svea (8/5): - The staff was super kind and helped me with everything. But the location is on the road so it's very noisy and there's music playing early in the morning. Everything was clean and nice
- Ponnilavan (6/5): -
- Deepankumar (6/5): -
- Kate (10/5): Amazing! - What an amazing place, tucked away in the heart of Varkala. Our host Osuklama was a dream to be around and his staff were lovely. It was about a 5/10 min walk into town and the beach. Very clean rooms and good showers with hot water! If you’re looking for a super comfortable and affordable stay, this is your place!
Thanks for having us guys 🫶🏼
- Ananthakrishnan (7/5): Good -
- Himani (5/5): Passable -
- Matthew (10/5): Exceptional - We had a great stay at Sherin Cottage! It was clean, comfortable and a great location. AshokLama was a great host and even gave us some fresh bananas from the garden! He was always smiling and offering to help us out.
It's about a 10 min walk down to the beach so you're away from the big resorts but close enough to get down there nice and early for a swim in the morning. Overall really nice, wish we could have stayed longer! Nothing!!
- Anastasiia (10/5): It exceeded our expectations and I cannot say enough how much we liked it! - It is like you arrive at your family place. Needless to mention, everything was clean and tidy. I would say that every our request was taken care of, but they actually went beyond that! We caught a cold and Ashok Lama noticed it and brought us a kettle so we could have warm tea any time 🥹
Anything we needed, he was always there for us. And it was never too much, our privacy and time were respected, while every time after having a small talk I would say to myself "how can this man be so caring?"
If we are ever again in Varkala I would not even consider staying anywhere else! Location is great – not among the busy restaurants, but also right next there is a shop and beach is walking distance away. There is a common area where we loved to spend our evenings.
We booked almost last minute and there was not so many options left, we booked Sherin Cottage even tho it didn't have many reviews. I swear, in a year from now there will be hundreds of good reviews, because it is not just a pace to stay, it is something bigger and you will never regret staying here! Thank you all the way from Germany and Ukraine, dear Ashok Lama and your lovely team ❤️
- Sathvika (8/5): Very good -
- Gergely (10/5): Exceptional - Room was clean, and the staff were very nice and helpful. Our room facing the street was a bit loud at night
- Bridget (8/5): Very good - Staff were fabulous, so caring and helpful. Bit noisy from next door into the night but stopped later. Ear plugs needed
- Biju (5/5): Passable -
- Hannah (10/5): Amazing experience - Amazing experience, will surely want to return when back in Varkala. I was planning a short stay and then extended multiple times, and received plenty of flexibility to accommodate this. The place is very central yet away from super busy areas, so you'll enjoy a tranquil stay. The rooms are spacious, clean and equipped with all comforts, including space to keep your clothes, toiletries etc. The host Ashok Iama is very friendly and always there to assist if in need. Thank you!
- Benderly (10/5): Amazing! - Very nice and clean
- Hana (7/5): Good - The staff make this property amazing! They helped us book a train as we struggled as foreigners without a ID. They also helped us dry our laundry quickly in time for checkout. I really appreciate all of their help in making it a comfortable stay. Rooms were basic but comfortable and clean, shower was warm and location was great easy to walk to beach in the morning. Small issue with bugs. Reported to hosts - hopefully will be handled quickly.
- Putty (9/5): Superb - Hospitality was good. There was no hot water facility.
