Guest Reviews

• Lakshmi (8/5): A quiet, back to nature restorative stay. - The host Mr Thaha is a perfect Gentleman. The view was awesome. Perfect for a quiet restorative holiday. Mr Sharaf was very quick to respond to our requests. Food has to be ordered from out. A full day powercut is not entirely supported by the generator on premises.
• Ketaki (10/5): -
• Nilkamal Dey (1/5): - its not a resort but a few 3-4 rooms in a deserted place , nothing more than a home stay. Old dirty, smelly room, not fit family & kids. The staffs / manager are arrogant & cheat customer with false promises. AVOID booking this, if travelling with family & kids.
• Saumya (7/5): - I liked the food, and the staff - Leena and the other staff member there. They were helpful and nice and prepared very delicious food. Location is away from the quiet. And right infront of the ocean. The only thing we didn’t like was that the property was not maintained. It’s a big property and rooms were big but not maintained. Same as above.
• Birgit (10/5): -
• Aparna (2/5): Disappointing - The location, accessible to the beach and with a good view from the property. It is however far from other places so you need a vehicle for access to eating joints etc. Breakfast provided was home made and very good though not much variety. From the listing, it was not clear that its a homestay and not a proper hotel or resort. Amenities are very basic. The property is very basic and not very well maintained. Cleanliness is basic and the rooms as well as bathroom could do with some deep cleaning. One of the bathrooms had very low pressure in the shower and there was a bad drainage smell at night. We asked for omelette at breakfast and were told that its chargeable, this kind of service is not expected for the rate that they charge. There was a kettle but no tea or coffee sachets. Coffee other than breakfast was charged. For two rooms we were provided one A/c remote and on second day, after asking, they provided the second remote. The property is barren with just coconut trees and one hammock for each room. No lunch and dinner, so you either have to take your vehicle and head out or there is one restaurant that is walking distance, in the dark, with your phone as torch.. Definitely overpriced for the basic level of stay. Only saving grace and the two stars are for the caretakers who are good people, good home cooked idli dosa, and the serenity and view from the property.
• S (6/5): -
• SEN (7/5): -
• Tom (10/5): - Beautiful location, 30 minute walk to the cliff, but good restaurant and beach <5 minute walk. Also the walk to the cliff is really nice. Staff is absolute amazing, loved the breakfast! Highly recommended
• Roman (10/5): - Если не любите суеты и хотите спокойно провести время,то это идеальный вариан. В пешей доступности пляж. Если хочется развлечений,то вдоль береговой линии большое количество баров,ресторанов и кафе на любой вкус. Жили в домике с частичным видом на море. Был слабый wi-fi
• Ari (8/5): - Beautiful view of the ocean
• Utkarsh (9/5): -
• Sneha (8/5): Amazing Stay - Staff, food, and hospitality services are amazing. Breakfast was good but limited. You can still order but with extra cost.
• Namrata (8/5): Not worth - The rooms were big and well maintained with all basic amenities like fridge, wifi, kettle... We stayed in a sea view Twins room... breakfast was good...staffs are good too...but no lunch dinner and snacks are available...no one is there to prepare food... There was no food available other than breakfast. Was really difficult to take families out for lunch and dinner always. Premises is huge but not maintained. We stayed on the 31st December night not even a single decoration (light) was there for new year....all together we paid Rs. 33748/- ( they didn't bother to round off also) for two nights for the sea view twin rooms...so absolutely not worth....
• B Y (10/5): -
• Scarlet (10/5): -
• Harshada (10/5): Very beautiful place to stay - It’s really located at a very good place , site seeing places are near by from the property Hot water is available 24/7 but the force of the water from the tap is very slow and they need to clean the fans .
• Samiksha (10/5): -
• Pankaj (10/5): - The staff and owner were very kind and helpful throughout the stay. The service was good and prompt. You can also enjoy a beautiful sea view from the place, which makes the experience even better.
• Singh (10/5): - The location is awesome. Serene and picturesque. The cottages are surrounded by coconut trees and located on the cliff - you can enjoy the sea view while laying in a hammock while sea breeze flows. It can't get any better. It's away from the city bustle - but not isolated. Varkala beach is barely 15 mins away. Commuting is not a problem. The caretaker and staff are kind and polite. They try to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Timely breakfast and services. Rooms are decent given they are cottages. You don't have to think twice before booking this place. Breakfast can have more variety. But it's still good.
• Jithu (9/5): Beautiful cottages near to cliff - The location was exquisite. Away from the rush of varkala cliff, but still located on a cliff. Moreover, a beautiful beach within walking distance. The cottages were spacious surrounded by coconut trees.
• Swathi (10/5): What truly elevated our stay was our host, Mr. Thahakkutty. He is a genuinely fantastic person and goes above and beyond - The cottages themselves are impeccably clean and wonderfully welcoming, making us feel instantly relaxed and at home. But the true highlight is the location: the cottages boast a spectacular beach view. Experiencing the lush greenery and the ocean from our cottage, especially when the rain fell, was nothing short of surreal. It created an atmosphere of pure tranquility and was the perfect escape.
• Tamoghna (8/5): - The hospitality. The food. The warmth. The beds. Breakfast. Do not come here looking for a hotel, come here looking for a home. You will enjoy to the core. The host is a warm gentleman trying his absolute best to make your stay comfortable. I think everything was top notch.
