- Miroslav (8/5): Doporucujem na kratkodoby pobyt 2-3 noci - Vyborna lokalita, blizko utesu, kaviarni, restauracii a obchodov. Ochotny personal voda a uteraky na dennej baze. Okna sa nedaju otvarat a vyhlad je na iny dom v bloku. Kupelna by potrebovala trochu viac vydrhnut. Ale je to celkovo indicky problem, my v Europe sa na ciste, pozerame inak.
- Agata Sz-J (6/5): Good basic - The parking, good location, room was large Amenities, AC got broken (but they changed our room). It's really basic, from the room you get to the corridor that is practically already exit
- David (8/5): - Excellent homestay, très bien situé près du marché Tibétain, du cliff, de la plage de Varkala. Vous avez tous les restaurants et boutiques à proximité. La chambre est grande, propre et fonctionnelle. Parfait pour finir son séjour en Inde 🫶 Namasté 🙏
- Nisse (9/5): Overall, I had a very comfortable and pleasant stay at Avanthi Homestay and would gladly return. - Very nice and relaxed homestay. The hosts are friendly and helpful, but never intrusive. The room was clean and comfortable, with small useful things like a kettle, drinking water and access to a fridge.
It has a calm, welcoming atmosphere and is a great place to stay if you want something more personal than a hotel. I really enjoyed my stay here and would happily come b

- 7 (10/5): Exceptional - The owner and the manager Akhil very customer friendly, the room is very clean and neat, it's on the cliff itself and best place and within budget. I have asked for a birthday surprise for my fiancee and they helped me out with the cake and flowers. I would definitely recommend this not only for helping me out with whatever i asked for but its also on the cliff and walkable distance to autostand and other necessities. I feel it's best than any other on the cliff. It's was very exceptional experience from this hotel. I didn't take any photos of the room but the photos that hotel are the same without any modification.

- Pamela (10/5): Very peaceful, thank you so much. - We had an excellent experience at Avanthi! We only stayed one night after our other hotel fell through and wished we could have stayed much longer. The rooms are immaculately clean and HUGE, very private, just a couple minute walk to the beach and they provided basic toiletries and fresh water and had the room ready for us very quickly when we had to rush over. Even offered a late checkout. Very grateful for this place, would definitely stay here again.

Room is very clean, bed linen is clean, shower is very big and comfortable. The place is very cozy. We would stay again in such a room. Mr. Akhil was always in touch, answered very quickly to any questions. He is very helpful and helps guests very well.
- Maksim (10/5): Exceptional - The staying was good, room is clean and all facilities inside worked as expected. Pay attention restoraunt on the rooftop is not working anymore, but if you search for freezer, it is there :) The location is very convinient just 20m to the walking cliff.
- Ian (10/5): Excellent value for varkala north cliff - Clear, felt safe, good communication, good shower, excellent location.great for a few nights at varkala cliff
Excellent veg restaurant upstairs Same as most places in India,firm beds, but okay
- Kimberly (9/5): Great location, big room. - Nice big room with fan, ac and hot shower. The bed is a bit hard if you are ok with that. The room has a kettle as well. The location is perfect right near the Tibetan market and about 1 min to get to the beach. The staff are friendly and helpful. The room I had did not have a glass the separate the shower and toilet as shown in the pictures. This should be updated when booking the room.
- Gokila (10/5): Excellent - Simply awesome…very nearby to the cliff Nope
- Mayank (10/5): Clean budget stay near Varkala Beach - 1. Spot clean rooms
2. Modern furnishing of the room
3. 20 steps from beach
4. Helpful staff
5. Right in the middle of everything interesting in Varkala, bars, food, cafes, yoga, massage, kayaking, you name it. Nothing.
It's a budget stay so temper your expectations accordingly .
My room did not have sea view, but it's 20 steps away so not a big deal.
The wifi is weak, will recommend the host to upgrade to hi-speed wifi.
With the wifi provided, you can do basic browsing, but you won't be able to stream videos or take business calls.
- Arikath (7/5): Good -
- Sulekha (10/5): Amazing location, clean rooms, helpful staff, good value for money. - The rooms were reasonably big, were clean, had fan and AC, water bottles and kettle provided. Great value for money. Excellent location very close to the cliff with all the cafes and market, walkable from the beach. There's a veg restaurant upstairs for quickly grabbing food as well.
The manager Akhil was very helpful - got us medicine when we needed, arranged for auto and cabs, gave us references to surfing classes. We even got to check-in early when we reached in the morning and they kept our luggage for us after check-out.
- Boobalan (10/5): All I can say is stay was good and the manager was humble and he guided well. - There is no breakfast , but the location was awesome and very close to cliff and it’s just backside of the Homestay. All service provided was good, and I felt the rent for the home stay is high , could have been reduced to normal .
- Nivedita (9/5): Superb -

The rooms were very clean and the caretaker Akhil was very helpful , he arranged a rental scooter and dropped us to the bus stop on the day of check-out. The view for the sea from the avanthi restaurant is just beautiful.
- Riya (9/5): Superb - The room is quite spacious and neat. Very near to the cliff. Can sea beach just after 50 meters. There is also a WiFi connection which actually works.
The restaurant above is quite nice and the people are helpful there. The caretaker is sometimes slow to reply. But still sweet. Our room wasn't cleaned the next day because we asked a bit late and the cleaning lady had gone by then.
